New Members.
Another step toward providing the county
with modern court house was taken on
Tuesday, when the commissioners added
nine names to the court house building CON-

building.
Those who were named and who. it is
said. have accepted are Gilbert Grosvenor

Josiah Jones. Olney E. Brooke Lee. Silver
Spring; George E. Hamilton. Bethesda
Lacy Shaw, commissioner.
With the condemnation proceedings in
stituted to acquire the land in the square
west of court house. it is expected that the
full membership of the committee will be
called together to perfect plans for the
building. so that there may be no delay
when the land is acquired.
Capt. Joseph C. Cissel has perfected the
details for the condemnation OF the land
prior to his departure for Cascade. Md.
where he is in camp with the service COM
pany of the LIST Maryland Infantry. which
he commands. However, the cases will
be filed in the circuit court by Charles W.
Woodward. his partner. so there will be
no delay
Whether the plans for the building
originally approved by the building con-
mittee will be changed has not been de-
termined. This. it is said. will be left to

the most practicable building possible with
the funds provided by the various acts Of
the legislature. 1t is probable. however
with the acquisition of the additional land
that new design may be worked out for
the purpose of taking in the two squares.

Referring to modern governmental and
social conditions. Judge Ofutt said I'VE
are lifting more and more into paternal
socialism, the liberties which our fore
fathers won, are being bartered away for
one mess of pottage or another. many OF
the most valuable rights Of the individual
which were the soul and spirit Of the
