DUNAWAY Scout Council Plans Meeting Remodeling Of Courthouse Plan Of County Court i Officials Reject Proposal Of Grand Jury For New Building The county court at its meeting last week discussed the recommen dation made by the recent grand jury relative to planning the post war construction of a new court house and turned thumbs down on the idea. The court pointed out that this year will see 820,000 in a sinking fund for remodeling of the present structure and that with an addit ional $20,000 the courthouse can be enlarged and modernized to an ex tent that will make it adequate for an indefinite period; and that this can be done at small cost to the taxpayer and at a fraction of the cost of a new building. Tentative plans call for the Inclusion of a third floor elevator in a remodeling scheme. The court disagreed with the grand Jury that the building was a fire trap, pointing out that the walls are of stone Including even the partitions. Vault room is inadequate but all present vaults are fireproof and remodeling plans call for the addition of plenty of vault room. Members of the grand Jury who made the report included Elroy McDole, Ontario, foreman; Mrs Nellie B. Blackaby and Mrs Eth el Bartlett, Ontario; C. C. Orace, Oregon Slope; Wm. E. Ashcraft, Adrian; Mrs Ida Gordon and S t anley Dentlnger, Vale. The annual meeting of the Ore- Ida Boy Scout council will be held January 21 at the Dairymen’s hall at Caldwell. H. C.
