Painters Beautifying Courthouse Interior Entire Woodwork Being Cleaned and Revarnished. The painting and varnishing of the interior of the court house is progressing steadily and it is estimated by the contractors that the work will be completed with in two or three weeks, it being impossible to estimate exactly the time required to complete the job. The part of the build ing which has been gone over shows a marked improvement. The building has not been paint ed for about ten or eleven years and the stairways and door and window casings have grown con siderable dirty as a consequence of their long continued use. The painters have to first go over the surface carefully, often two or three times with soap and water, to ‘kee that everything is free from oil or grease before the paint or varnish can be applied. This is taking up more time than was anticipated, but is a guaran tee that the work is being done well. “Coke” Littleton and Fred Warner have the contract for doing the work and it will also be recalled that Messrs, Littleton and Warner did the same work about 11 years ago and coupled with the fact that they have again been awarded the contract speaks very highly of them and their ability.
