PLEA FOE WOODLIFT AT COURT HOUSE IS MADE While the county court is figuring on purchasing machinery which will expedite road work and relieve several people' of arduous labor, it is suggest ed by many that a wood lift bo in stalled in the county court house. At present the janitor is comjvelled to enr ry wood from the ground floor to the third story of the building, and, inas much as fir wood is generally heavy, ; the man who is under the load is up against it for breath' by the time he climbs two flights of exceptionally long stairs -and deposits the precious sticks in the dilapidated wood boxes in the various offices. Of course, the day janitor has nothing to do. He only mows the small (f) lawn, trims the rose bushes and the trees; responds to the beck and call of anyone who needs him, and is supposed to be in reach of every county official who wants an errand done. The wood-carrying stunt Is looked upon by recent grand jurors as an imposition on the janitor, and it has been recommended that a lift be installed. On Way to Far North.
