Commissioners Seek Bids to Solve Courtroom Echoes
Commissioners, urged by demands from several boards, plan to solicit bids after architect Alfred Hamme suggested new wall materials may reduce echoes. The ceiling paintings will stay if acoustical boards can be avoided, asVictor Re’s ceiling appraisal found plaster in good condition and paintings well preserved for years. Other actions include painting the county home asylum interior and a property sale in Abbottstown to Murray M Jacobs and Goldie L Jacobs.
