The Euilding Is a Handsome
Structure, With Ail Modern
Improvements Attached.
.Yesterday aTi'Tin'i.ii the coun
ty commissioners, Messrs. Ileeb
ner, !i!z and Jordan, paid a visit
to the county farm, wed of tliis
city, and a Journal representative
was invited to accompany ihein to
view tin- in-w building thai the
rounty has put up to replace the
structure destroyed by lire la.-t
July, and the new building, to be
fully appreciated, must be viewed
in person. It is on the site of the
old building and the solid rock
foundation of the former struc
ture was u-d in the construction
of he new home for the residents
at the farm. The building is two
stories hi.nh. with a basement,
and is constructed of gray press
ed brick and prc-cnts a most
pleasing appearance to the ey
beimr constructed with a view ol
furnishim; as neat a buihiimr a
possible wil h the funds available.
On the east front of the build
in; a large porch has been erect
ed, which sets off the appearance
of the building very much, and
this porch gives entrance to the
main floor of the building, while
a small :"!ight of stairs at the side
of the porch allows one to go in
to the basement. Here there has
been ample arrangements made
for the cooking and serving of
meals, two dining rooms being
fixed up, one a large one for the
inmates of the farm, and a small
er room ad joining for I lie use of
i 1 1 superintendent and hjs fam
ily. (In (he oilier side of the hail
a tine Inrtre-sized kitchen will be
Tilled up. which is connected with
ample closets and a large storage
room, where the provisions can
be kept, am! this pari of the
building is also equipped with a
good-sized laundry rooiu. with
concrete floor that will make the
matter of doing the work in this
portion of the building very easy.
A flight of stairs leads to the first
floor of the building, where the
superintendent uf the farm ami
his family will have their living
rooms, and this, as well as the
oilier floors of the building, has
been arranged with a view to the
convenience of the persons resid
ing there, and are fitted up with
toilet and bath rooms and the
apartments have been arranged
very handily for the use of those
who will reside in them.
On both the first, and second
floors of the building commodious
halls have been arranged, which
will afford plenty of room for
everyone passing through them.
On the top floor the sleeping
rooms for the old people have
been arranged, and these are both
commodious and sanitary and
will accommodate with comfort
thoe who make their home there.
Here, as on the first floor, a fine
bath and toilet room has been
fitted up and the large hall run
ning east and west through the
building will divide the women's
and men's wards and give each of
them plenty of room for exercise,
as well a sleeping, rooms.
The whole building is heated
with a modern hot water healing
plant that is supplied from the
furnace in an adjoining building,
and this plant will also supply
denty of hot wafer for the bath
rooms of the building. The
structure has been fttted out in
the plumbing line by John Bauer,
and the work has been done in a
very careful manner, as has also
the wiring for the electricity with
which the building will be lighted,
hut whether the power will be se
cured from storage batteries or
from a direct current from the
line of the light company has not
;vs yet been determined by the
commissioners. There is ample
facilities offered for heating the
building and the radiator's are
placed through the building so as
lo alTord plenty of heat for the
old people during the winter
months.
In the construction of this fine
modern and sanitary building the
commissioners have displayed
good judgment and have been
careful to see that (he taxpayers
receive their money's worth, and
as a result they have secured a
building that speaks well for their
judgment in handling the matter
ami the taxpayers throughout the
county should make a trip out lo
view the new building.

From Wednesday's Daily.
The county commissioners en

will have to be filed afftthe office
of the county clerk on or before
Monday, February 1(5. l'.Mi, when
the board will take them up at
their meeting.
Joseph W. Johnson of this city
was appointed as a member of
the soldiers' relief commission to
look after the care of the old
soldiers, and Dr. J. 13. Ilungalc r
Weeping Water was appointed
as county physician for the year
and he will receive a salary of ?,"
per day while called out for duty
and will also receive mileage.-
The board also decided to re
consider the matter of the dis
allowance of the claim of Sain
Oilmour for -$7.50 for team to as
sist he county surveyor and the
claim was ordered paid by the
members of the board. J lie com
missioners decided also to have
an expert accountant check up
