Probate Register. Mr. Case moved that the report be received and printed in the proceedings. Carried. Chairinan Hunter announced that the time had arrived to listen to the report of the building committée, the same was then read by Mr. Kitson. Oct. 20, 1897. To the Honorable Board of Supervisors : Gentlemen : - Your Committée ou Public Buildings would respectfully report their work for the year October, 1896, to October, 1897. At request of Janitor your Committée visited his rooms and decided to repaper one large room. As requested by your Honorable Body, we had the rooms known as Circuit Court Commissioners' room, and Jury room, conneeted by putting in door-frame and door through división wall, and thoroughly renovating same and furnishing with some new furniture and some taken from basement. We also put in wash-bowl in west room, and you now have two nice rooms known as Prosecuting Attorney and School tfoaimïssioners ; aíso as rèquesteu we had the south rooms on the third iioor fitted up for Jury room, and toilet room. Said rooms were coimected and well cleansed, and walls tinted and woodwork stained ; we had rooms heated by radiators and gas fixtnres put in, also water-closet and wash-basin. The hall leading to these rooms was so dirty that we had same kalsomined. Your Coinniittee had leaks in roof fixed, and cove in court room tinted in oil. Tlie matting in the Court room was so poor that we had to get new. We liad Juge's desk fixed, also tables, and repolishéd. The rooms south of Court room were dirty and had many rain stains, and we had them kalsomined. The tables in Clerk's room were out of repair ; we had same fixed and tops scraped and varnished, making same look like new. This was done in most of the offices. The Court was very much annoyed by persons sitting in the corridors and talking loud, also the floors were ahnost black with tobáceo juice. We have put an iron fence where they used to assemble, and the saine accomplishes its purpose. We also had steps on east side that were detective replaced by new. The Janitor on taking up carpet in Clerk's office, found same to be worn out; he had to take it up in pieces. We had to get a new carpet and linoleum to cover floor. The carpet in Probate Judge's office was worn out at north end. We had it covered with linoleum. Your Committee was iuformed that Probate room could not be kept warm in cold weather ; there being connections for radiator already, and a spare radiator in basement, we liad same connected at a small expense, and it gives good satisfaction. The chandeliers in the different offices and hall were cleaned and bronzed at a small cost considering the number of them. We had some plastering in the halls repaired, and other sniall matters attended to. Your Coinmittee at request of Superintendents of the Poor went to County House to examine roof of residence. Said roof though not more than ten years old was in poor condition, rain was spoiling furniture in the upper rooms so that it was necessary to sh ingle the wing part, and east side of mam roof.. The west side was repaired by placing a large number of pieces of tin over cracks. In the opinión of your Committee the shingles had been very poorly laid, and shingles made f rom dead wood. Tlie platform at west side of house was all out of repair. We had same put in order and new floor laid. Your Committee had boiler at Jail put in working order by Mr. Suter.

We would also recommeud the painting of some of the buildings at the County House, believing it to be economy so to do, also believe jail is too small.
