County Law Library
EnlaTging CAPACITY

Metal furnishings are being in
stalled at the Court House in the
County Law Library, and in the
vaults Of the Register of Deeds and
Clerk of Courts. John Sullivan of
Boston is doing the work.
The work in the Law Library con-
sists of a gallery stack for the law
books, which is substantially a dupli-
cate of the stacks which have here
tofore been in use. This will nearly
double the present capacity of the
library, and is necessary to accom-
modate the increasing volume of
books which are being received from
time to time, and will relieve the
congested condition which has exist
ed for the past year.
In the Registry of Deeds a new
case of roller shelves has been in
stalled, which will accommodate
eighty new volumes of record, and
an addition to the five-year card in
deX, which was made necessary by
reason of the increased volume of
business in that Office.
The work in the Clerk of Courts
vault consists of new filing cases and
book shelves. 1t is estimated that the
new furnishings now being installed
will take care of the records and pa
pers for 4 period of at least ten years.
The workmen have been employed
for about two weeks, and the work
will probably be completed before the
end of this week.
