The tower to thov court house is In
ptKir condition, and is insufficiently
braced; the timbers being originally
green, and poorly put together, have
shrunk, allowing (ho stay rods to become
loose, thereby weakening the tower, and
endangering the building below during
heavy winds. The county 'court Is rec
ommended to tuiiploy some competent
person at once to carefully exitiiine the
toacr and to authorise him in make such
repaiis as will strengthen mid brace up
the weak places ; these repairs should
be made at once, without delay.
Tho exposed wotk on the outside of
the county building, is peeling and break

as a protection against furtbur damage.

procure improved forms for keeping such
tecords.for their preservation and se
curity. With this object in view, tho
clerk has purchased additional books of
record of a new and improved fcrin.
While said books ure larger, and of bet
ter quality of paper than those hereto
fore used, thcte ha. been a saving of
from 20 fo 25 per cent, on each book, to
the county over what has been paid for
books ptevioiisly purchased. Some hooks
are mentioned with un idea of their good
points.
An improved form for keeping records
of county court coin missior-ers proceed
ings, w ith direct and reverse index, in
suring quicker work in referring to oases;
a register of actions, with direct and ro
versa indox, newer and better form ; a

fore; a county court docket register, in
which casts are arranged ulphabetically
and in more convenient form. The fol
flowing have heretofore been kept in or
iginal papers and filed away in pigeon
holes, in bundles and kept in envelops,
incurring danger of loss, arid injury from
re-punt handling. Tho new forms are
printed in books and aru much more sal

letters of executors, declarations of citi-
