OF q hall OF Justice that bids fstr To
attract attention thrcuEh ut the legal
and architectural professions OF the

Capt H. F. MeCray, office manager
for F. J. DeLohgchamps stated that
before designing this building special
attention. was given to securing the
opinions and advice or the legal fra.
ternity with regard to obtaining an
ideal court room. That tbs has been
ably accomplished Ii evidenced by the
congratulations received by the coun.
ty commissioners, the contractor and
the architect. :
The court room contains all the es.
genital points necessary to make It
IDEAL This room is round with a
high dome overhead and the acoustics
are perfect. Under tests a pin drop
ped on the judges platform was cas-,
lily heard at. the entrance door, with
workmen outside making more noise
than would occur, under normal con.
ditions. The light for the court room
Is taken from continuous row of win
dows directly under and circling the
dome. and, being taken from such a
high point, is so subduei and diffused
throughout the room that no glare is
found In nay part of the room.
The arrangement Of the fury is un-
precedented and has the approval of
all the Judges who have considered
the change. In this court the Jury
faces the judge so that their undIyfd-
ed attention is secured. The court re-.
porter is placed between opposing
counsel and Is also near the witness.
which obviates unnecessary repeti-
lions or answers. and chances of mis-
understanding.
The Ventiiating system Is silent
forced draft Of washed, fresh air, go
. that rs use of windows with the con-
''eQua3f howl of wind is eliminated
Nisht lighting is by use of concealed
iptrect border lights. There is. no
noise, no light or other cause to de-
tract MoGc a free and Just trial.
ArcAitecturally, the building has
bSSsi designed as central commu.
nifty point and Is on the axis of the
main street where It can BIO plainly
seen by every passenger passing thru
the city without alighting from the
train.
The entrance consists &c beautiful
Ionic fluted terra Gotta colorado, with
massive steps. The exterior color
scheme was arranged to harmnnize
with the local coloring Of the noun
tains and the design arranged accord
ing to the shape of the plot. The Of
hces throughout the building are ar
ranged with regard to their import
ance and use by the public. ......
The ladies of Lovelock have arrang-
ed for rest room and in the near
futuro will present the city with a
