fers from those in that the county has been

1987.
Commissioner Powell-has already made
some corrections in the courthouse but

deck to reach the leaking pipe. It was
repaired temgorari:iy but a permanent
re?air was to be made this week, the hole
refilled and the concrete replaced by the
pool contractor, said Stanley. (Staff
Photo).
Busbee said the state hasn’t received any
official word from the commissioner that
work is being done to the historic structure.
The old balcony area of the courthouse,
previously used for storage of books,
records and files, has been virtually clean
ed out by county workmen. In addition,
Powell has contracted with the Echols Co.,
Summerville, to replace exposed wiring in
the building with wiring contained in metal
conduit.
OCT. 31
If all the corrections aren’t made by
Oct. 31, Busbee said he was told, the mat
ter will then be turned over to Atty. Gen.
Mike Bowers for legal action against the
county in Superior Court.
The reason Powell was given until Oct.
31 to make the corrections, Busbee quoted
Eberhart as saying, is because some of the
steps demanded by the state are quite ex
tensive. They include enclosing the
stairwells on both ends of the courtfiouse.
