NEW COURTHOUSE
URGENTLY NEEDED
Judge Aston Says Present
Structure Is No Credit
to County

That new courthouse is badly need
ed In Jefferson county Is the opinion
of Supernumerary Judge A. H. Aston,
who is at the present time presiding
over the third division of the criminal
court
Jefferson county should have a court
house." said Judge Aston, that should
be credit to it. The present court
house Is totally inadequate for the
amount OF business transacted and the
people of this county should awaken
to the shortcomings of the present
structure. The people should remember
that more business is transacted in the
Jefferson county courthouse than in all
the other judicial circuits of the state
together.
I'm the present courthouse the venti-
lation is very bad and everything Is
crowded. There is no Mushroom and rest
rooms for women witnesses. The court
rooms are pitifully small and in every
other way the Jefferson county court
house cannot be said to be credit to
this county"
