Propose New Wing for
Court House -
A new suggestion, of the addition
of a wing to the court house to re-
lieve the .congestion of office .space,
was advanced 'by ',Tames •Ballantyne,
3f.P;P, for South Huron, when he
was fn Goderich last week. I1 is held
that the plan to excavate ,under the
court house and install lavatories
there, in order to take over present
upstairs lavatory space for offices,
is not• feasible in that the sewerage
system is not deep enough The ,floor
of the excavation, it is said, would
probably be about five feet .bol'ow the
sewer pipes. The wing could house
offices for the :children's aid: inspector,
police and the magistrate, leaving the
one ronin at present occupied by all
for its original purpose, the accom-
modation of Witnesses. and of the
grand jery.
