Anderson, of the county commissioners, offered a motion to the effect that It was the sense of the meeting that the proposed building Is desirable, and that the com mittees report back to their respective bodies and be authorised to Incur the expense of employing experts to make the neceesary estimates. Mayor Joyner presided at the meet ing. The following others were pres ent: Alderman'Peters and Councilman Martin, and Commissioners Clifford L. Anderson, Judge E. B. Rosser and Rob ert F. Maddox.

No Change In 81ts, Councilman Martin was assured that no such proposition was seriously being considered.

Commissioner Anderson explained that it had already been decided to tear down the present court house and that a new >400,000 building was to be erected In Its stead; that MOO,000 of this would be secured either by bonds or an Increased tax rate, as the people decided at the polls, and that >100,000 would be from the sale of the present almshouse property.

This, the city attorney held, would re move the legal difficulty. * The question was raised as to wheth er or not the new annex to the court house, which cost about >150,000, would have to be destroyed. Commlseloner Maddox said It would look rather fool ish to do so.. May 8serlftce Annex. Commissioner Anderson said he would be willing to make the sacrifice If necessary. It was Anally the opin ion of all that the architect could build around It and thus prevent the com plete demolition of the structure.
