The county court office, removal oi
which was begun several days ago, will
e established In the n kiii. w
Thursday morning. Other offices prob
ably will be there by the first of - nejit
week. Employes of the county court al
ready are at work in the new building.
The district court Judges are sitting
there. Girl stenographers and clerks who
could be spared were permitted' to go
home because the old building was too
cold for comfort. '
By noon most of the officials had rustled
around, and with the assistance of Build
Ing Superintendent Joseph Calabria, got
oil stoves, which took off some of : the
chill.
County Commissioner Harte discovered
that the old building is cracking and set
tling. He believes the south quarter of it
would collapse In a few. months. Large
cracks are noticeable In the county com
missioners' room, the superintendent's of
fice and the county clerk's office. It maj
be necessary to put up braces to protect
the new building against collapse of the
old one when the wrecking of the old Is
begun. ' 1
