900 was less than any figure that he
had had in mind, and after some discus.
'ion the commissioner announced that

COUNTY OFFICES
MAY BE CHANGED
Possible Solution of Necessity
for Protecting Records
Vermont National May Enlarge Vault
Proposition to Be Submitted to
Assistant Judges. ....'... ..

Assistant Judges ...s... .,t
In connection with the extensive i'm
provements which are in progress in the
Vermont National bank, posi-
bility has arisen which may prove OF
considerable advantage to Windham
county in solving the problem of new
location for the county court records and
additional room for the records of the
probate court.
The matter is wholly Gin the air" at
present, however, as it has not been pro
posed to the assistant judges of the
county court, whose endorsement of the
proposition would be necessary.
One of the improvements to be made in
the bank is a new vault, and it has oc-
Cured to some that the vault ought to
be extended up through the second story,
to take in the whole of what is now the
probate court room. The court room is
leased by the bank to the law firm of
Harvey, Maurice, Whitney & Fits and
subleased to the county. The law firm,
which occupies all of the two floors over
the bank except the probate court room,
has notified the county that it wishes to
terminate the lease.
The bank vault extended up another
story as suggested would give room for
fire-proof vaults for the law firm, for
the probate court and for the county
court. The law firm could then tear out
its present vault, which would afford
needed room and permit uniting the two
rooms on the southwest part of the sec
ond floor into one commodious office.
An entrance to the vault could be
made from the room on the west side of
Crosby black formerly the Chase & DAILY
law office and now occupied by States
Attorney f. w. Gibson, the entrance be
ing over the southern stairway on the
west side of the block, which could be
used by both the probate Judge and the
county clerk.
1t is the idea of those interested that
County Clerk w. r. Daley's office could
be moved to the former Chase & Daley
office, provided of course that States
Attorney Gibson was willing to give up
that room, and that Judge A. F. Schwenk
could use the present county clerks Office
tor a probate court room. This would
leave States Attorney Gibson two
offices, with entrance to each.
Pellet & Skinner have looked over the
situation with view to estimating the
expense of charging the vault and pro
vldlng the facilities necessary, and when
the estimates are completed it is as
sumed that some proposal will be made
to the assistant Judges.
The assistant judges have been consid
erlng plan to move the county clerks
once to the town hall building and hay.
ing vault built there, but that would
not solve the problem of providing more
vault room for the probate court unless
Doth Offices were moved there.
