Caution Issued To The Public The public toilets in the county courthouse have been remodelled, disinfected and painted and they are now in a highly sanitary con dition, Sanitarian Walter Hart announced today.

This improvement has been made following a report from the grand jury at the last term of Transylvania superior court that the toilets were in a deplorable condition.

The repair and improvement work done, however, cost around $300. “They are now in good shape and let's keep them that way,” Mr. Hart stated.
