LAWYERS MUST SHOUT
TO MAKE COURT HEAR

We have a nIce-almost brand new
courthouse. but
Something is radically wrong
with the acoustics Of the building.
In the courtrooms the stone floors.
the sidewalks and ceilings all
throw back the sound waves as a
person talks with the result that
one has almost to shout to be heard
distinctly. At times one person
alone in a courtroom cannot dis
tinctly hear himself talk.
In the old courthouse at Second
and B streets northwest. street
noises continually worried the at
torneys and judges. But now it is
the noise Of their own voices that
seems to be the trouble.

4:30 p. m, with Saturday afternoons
Off only from June IS to September
Is. as heretofore.
Two other propositions were voted
on, one being a seven-and- a-half-

day. when work would stop at / D.
m. the year round; the other a day
beginning at $40 and ending at 1870.
with Saturday closing at 1890 the
year round. Many clerks. while
earnestly desiring the weekly half
holiday. were prone to work the ex-
ira half hour in order to receive the
benefits of what they believed to be
their legal right-the year round
