The agriculture department will be

other, 11 by 22 feet.

In addition tothe stairways in each

Heretofore, the welfare department
has been housed in an office intended
for the use of the grand jury, result
ing in much inconvenience for the
office force at each term of court.
Having the agriculture department
on the third floor has been most in.
convenient for many elderly people
who were scarcely able to make the
climb, so there is general .satisfac

to be made. While an estimate of the
cost is not available it is not expect
