Tic alexander County court house
is TO he lemodellod and completely
overhanled at an expense OF about
six thousand dollars.
This was definitely settled at the
meeting Of the colnty commissioners
Yesterday after d lengthy eonsidcra
ton wlith extended over q period OF
cyeral days, he board adjournins
last evening until Monday.
Officers, who occupy the structure
are now cone!dcring what will bcsi

ideas have been placed before th(
board plans viii be drawn cmbody-
ing these suggestions insofar as

the funds Immediately available.

The board first considered tn,
matter of bond issue of $50.00l
which. with tho cash available
would allow the tearing down of th'
prcscn bnilding and the construc
tion Of a new building, and mod
crn sanitary jail ut the northeast
corner Of the court house grounds
with covered runway to the maiI
building. but this was deemed in.
advisable as it was thought that a
bond issue would not appeal to the
people when ii was submitted to a
vote in view Of the present tax rate,
so the repairs, which will answer for
six or seven years, as outlined above,
were suggested,
The board in addition TO the con

what to do with Fanny and Nellie,
the two "v-v-v-icious, b-b-b-lood-

icct is referred to in detail elsewhere
