TO repair BREAK IN
COURT HOUSE WALK
CONTRACTORS THINK THERE
WILL BE LITTLE SERIOUS DAM
AGE TO BUILDING.

An investigation has developed that
that the cause of the sinking OF the
northeast corner of the court house
building was from a broken sewer
running through the wall from the
roof of the structure. The continuous
dripping of water from the broken
pipe softened the earth under the
foundation, causing it to settle and
create a crack in the walls on the
north and east sides.
Little & Phillips have been given
the contract by the county commits
sioners to make the necessary repairs.
Mr.. Little states that no serious trou-
BILE will develop from the broken
walls and that the foundation is as
solid as ever The leak in the pipe
will be repaired which will prevent
any further damage.
