The visitors were part icularly impressed im-pressed with the many miles of paved highways along the Pacific coast. While they did not find anything in the way of a courthouse that will exactly meet the needs of this city and county, they obtained many ideas on building materials, mate-rials, filing systems, etc. Members of the committee stale that a reinforced fireproof concrete building, with a combination of terra cotta and stone for the outer walls, will undoubtedly undoubt-edly be the most practicable for the ioint building to be erected here. Architect Joseph Nelson says that he will have plans and specifications for the new building ready to submit in the near future and that work will begin before cold weather sets in. |
