But Our Commissioners Have Their Eyes Open.

Jasper County is to have a new court house, so the county commissioners. Before commencing work the county Dads should write our exBoard of commissioners in Pulaski county and secure a copy of their complete record entitled “What We Know About Building Court Houses and Letting Contracts, more especially for Electric Light Fixtures.” They should also look after their-architect and see that drainage to area ways, if there be any, be secured in the original plans, see that a way is provided for the sound of a striking bell or clock to escape from the tower, that a heating apparatus be put in at the first which will heat the building without any costly additions after the work is taken off the contractor’s hands. In short see that the architect’s specifications are complete in every respect leaving no occasion for any change whatever from the original plans. Pulaski county has been undergoing an experience and feels able to give their sisters some very valuable pointers.—Winimac Republican.
