The County Board Room remodeling project was again taken up. Especially for the benefit
of the new members, Edward Pajala gave abbrief resume of the prior action of the County Board
in regard to the remodeling of the County Board Room. A sketch of the original plan as pro-
posed by Robert Novack, Architect, was shown to the Board and it was explained that the Board
had felt that the cost of that plan was excessive. The Board at the February meeting author-
ized the Executive Committee of the Board to proceed with a less costly plan. The Board was
informed that the committee is now in the process of receiving quotations for removing the old
jury box and judges bench and bar, installing new carpeting and purchasing tables and chairs
which can be arranged in any manner to make the room more suitable for other group meetings
and conferences as well as county board meetings. No further action was taken by the Board.
