New Courthouse
Albany Is Told
Albany Linn county's new court
house will have clock, but what
sort of clock, or where It will be
located, has not been determined,
it was stated by Judge J. J. Bar
rett, spokesman for the county
court Friday, following a meeting
with members of the Albany city
council to discuss a fire alarm sys
tem to be attached to the clock.
One thing , is certain, however.
Albany's citizenry will bear the
same familiar tone of the bell
which is attached to the clock In
the old courthouse tower, the coun
ty court stated.
Judge Barrett stated that no
prices on new clocks had had been
obtained by the court, nor had it
been learned how much It would
cost to move the old clock works to
the new building, so nothing defi
nite, except that a clock would be
on the new courthouse and that the
same bell would be used, had been

Since it was first known that
Linn county would have a new
courthouse much speculation and
talking has been done about a clock
on the building, as Albany persons
as a unit wanted a clock retained.
