County Officers
Changing Around
at Court House

This week quite a shuttle is taking
place at the Court House on account
Of the separation of the offices Of the
Sheriff and Tax Collector. They are
moving to separate parts of the build
ing, necessitating the movement Of
practically the entire lower floor Of
fees.
The sheriff is moving into the
room formerly occupied by the Cham
ber Of Commerce, the Chamber of
Commerce is moving across to the
opposite corner of the building TO the
room formerly occupied by the Coun-
ty Superintendent; the Superintend-
ert goes to the old stand of the
County Treasurer, and the Treasurer
moves in with the Tax Collector, the
room formerly occupied by the sher-
If.
This is the plan on which the lower
floor was originally erected, each
department going into the space de-
signated for them. Especially the
sheriff's office. which is equipped
with winding stairs from the office
to the different court rooms, by
which prisoners can be taken without
being carried through the lobbies.
