We recommend that the Court

the doors, castings and wainseotting
be painted and the walls finished
with some substantial finish. We

the entrance to the Court House, and
that they be required to wash off
this entrance and side walk every
morning.
We recommend that those having
charge of the Janitor, have him re-

ing.
We found the report of the Com
