Condition Very Unsafe
The case against the old court
house is its unsafe condition. princt-

shelves. Others r heaped in corners
with no orderly system Of storing
them as public records should
be. There has been some attempt to

alternative but to build another court

equipment.

cracked, insanitary. It has been con-

State Fire Marshal H. L. Reade and
by State Sanitary Engineer A. L. Ba-
vone.
The present Jail is as bad. II not
worse. There Is but cell for worn-
en-. At one time eight women were
confined In the place.
The fire peril Of the Jail Is great.
This annex Is so constructed that
were flames to get a fair start, it
very likely would result in all prison.
ers in the structures losing their lives.

An estimate has been made, based
on the actual, not assessed value Of
the properties Of the county, and this
shows what q small cost the pro-
posed building would be to the tax
payers. Here Is the table:
