 During winter sessions judges and lawyers have been considerably dis- tracted by the "rap-rap-rap' Of the steam pipes, as the live steam came Into contact with the cool air in the pipes. In addition the general plan has been found to be faultry, and the present project is to elim- mate "coid spots" in the building.
 An entirely new set of blue prints of the heating plan of the building will be necessary, for the original has been missing since the latest addition and Improvements were made In 1911.
 Installation of the new boilers will be in addition to the general painting, cleaning-up, and repair ing job that is being considered by the county commissioners. Within a few weeks the court-house will be oyer-run with workers, plumbers, and repair-men getting the situation set for September.
