Rock Rapids.
Since the plans for the new court
house have been drawn there has been
considerable difference Of opinion az to
how the new building should be faced,
some wanting west front and others
Ia north. The board Of supervisors
finally agreed to submit the matter to
the citizens Of Rock Rapids and at a
mass meeting called by the mayor the
matter was discussed and voted on, the
the verdict being in favor Of the north
frontage. BY using north front and
setting the building well to the south
side OF the lot the old building can
be left intact for use until the new
structure is ready for use. The super
visors will very likely adopt this plan
; and work can be commenced as soon
J. as bids can be advertised.
