All Occupants
Must vacate By
First OF Month

Moving time is drawing near for
the West Jefferson Council and all
other offices operating out of the
present building which has long
been the topic of discussion in the
village.
Condemnation of the structure
was delayed until after the No
venber election, giving the public
a chance to decide on a new build
ing at a cost of about SIS, 900. Aft
er the results had been counted
and certified. the original ruling
that the building would have to be
vacated was put back into the act
i've file, and a deadline was set for
the first of January.
Council members have used sew
eral last-minute pleas to get the
use Of the building longer, but
such plans have not been fruitful.
The last word was that after the
first of the year the building will
be locked against occupancy.
Vacating the building means
that the West jefferson Public Lii
brary must also find new quarters.
and they are the only office which
has announced plans to move.
Their current plans are to get in
to the old Evans building on Main
Street.
Other moving involves finding
offices for the police force, the
Mayor and the council meeting Of
fices. No arrangement has been
made for Jail quarters, and it has
been presumed that Jail prisoners
will have to be moved to London
in the County Jail.
Early plans called for moving
the offices of the police, the may
or and the council to the Town
ship Hall, but this did not prove
to be satisfactory with all concern
ed. Temporary plans with Janu-
ary l just few days away call
for renting space from a local
businessman to house the offices.
The move will involve more
than picking up bags and boxes.
The office contains two telephones.
with special connections, a tele-
phone answering device and
State Highway Patrol link radio
receiver. All must be moved to the
new location to contain their eff
fectiVeness and usefulness.
Gas and electric service to the
old building will also have to be
disconnected to meet the require
ments of the recent ruling, and the
water pipes will probably be drain
ed to prevent further damage.
The latest discussion by the
group was that some repair work
would make the structure safe for
occupancy soon. The orders which
requested the repairs dated back
for more than a year, and the only
compliance was the removal of
dead pigeons from an attic space.
No major repair was attempted in
order to comply, and the public re-
jected plans for q new building on
a special tax levy vote.
