In commenting upon their re ft, Judge Q. K.' Nimocks rmed conditions at the court ouse the worst in North Carolina nd described facilities in that uilding as"'1 “completely inade ,uate. ” He said he hoped the ople of Orange County would wake up’’ to the serious condi ons existing there and the urgent eed for better court facilities. Tfo> Grand Jury report ap eared in many respects a rehash f the recent Fact-Finding Com ittee’s report and considerable pace was devoted to minor school uilding needs, too numerous to Ten In Orange Ian Grade “A” htiryBaras Hillsboro.—Ten Orange County farmers are building, or intend to build grade A dairy barns by the fall of the year.

"The report referred to the Fact-Find* ing report itself and urged its adoption after noting it was “ap palled by the number of recom mendations which appear imme diately necessary.” • “Orange is not a rich county,” it stated, “but it can, we believe, carry out the plan proposed for us by this committee of citizens. We cannot afford not to do it.” Regarding the courthouse, it said in part: “The county court house needs much to make it a suitable place for carrying on effi ciently the business of. the coun ty;”The offices of Clerk of Su perior Court and the Register of Deeds do not giver oom for effi cient work by the personnel neces sary for these offices. This is not facility for any citizen to confer privately with either of these of ficials. When the Superior Court is in session, the County Account ant must vacate his office for the use of the Grand Jury. This is a special hardship when as at the present he is especially busy. The county commissioners too must meet in this room. There is no place near the Grand Jury room where witnesses summoned to ap pear before that body may wait in comfort. The Jury has wasted too much time this week waiting for the officers to find witnesses. The second floor of the courthouse ap pears to us poorly adapted for the use of the Superior Court.” The report was signed by J. S. Bennett of Chapel Hill, who served as foreman.
