ROCKVILLE, Md., November 2.—An- | other stride forward was made in the | discussions incident ‘to the proposed | construction of the new building here to house the Monigomery County gov- ernment activities, when the courthouse lding committee, after nearly a| three-hour session, approved the floor | plans for the four stories of the pro- | mfl@d structure and. rejected the archi- | t's design of the exterior front. E.| Brooke Lee said. after the meeting. | ‘which was a closed one, that the archi- | tect, Rossell Edward Mitchell, had been | instructed o prepare three or four more designs for a front, something de- | bed by they county leader as massive and outstanding. | Desijrn Submitted. ‘The design submitted is similar to the north front of tiw United States Treas- ury Department Building in Washing. ton. It has a cemter projection with columns the sarne as the Treasury Building, with two\ extensions, set back from the outstanding center, and two wing sections. The" principal difference between the design' for the proposed county buliding and ithat of the Treas- ury is that instead of the monumental steps there are seweral ground-level | entnances, declared to\ follow the mod- ern ¢rend, and intendad to obviate the danger from ice during the Winter, When the new designs for the ex- tarior jare submitted, and one of them is | finally’ approved. it was disclosed that the action of the building committee A Sketched left—New Barrel-back Chair, eov- ered in Sower-motif rayon.

It was disclosed, following the meet- ing, that the entire building will not be planned for construction at this time The floor plans as drawn and approved showed that provision only has been made for the center section, the two extensions and the west wing. The east extension, it was said, will be built to connect with the present court build- ing, which will be left standing for the time being. The publication of the floor plans is the first indication given that the structure will not be built as an entirety in the first project. Provisions of Plans. The proposed building will be 227 feet long, with an average depth of 60 feet. The first floor. which will be at the street level, will have a modern working suite in the center of the build- ing, and the balance of the first floor to the west of the center will be occupled by hte county commissioners’ hearing room, a conference room, the office of the clerk to the county commissioners and space for the clerical forces of the commissioners. There also will be a large space for the storage of records There also will be offices for the as- sessor and other county officials. The east extension of the first floor will be giyen over to a police dormitory for the | reception of prisoners, together with necessary baths and toilets. ‘The second floor will be given over almost entirely to a hall of records, and the space to be provided will be more than three times as large as that now | available in the present building used as the seat of the county government. In this connection, it was said that the structure has been so designed as to| permit of large extensions to the south. The Health Department, the clerk of | the Circuit Court and the county en- gineer also will have large offices on this floor, in the center of the structure. The third floor will be given over al- Sketched forting—this chair, chooses gay striped rayon upholstery.......$40 Relaxation covered chintz ........ The proposed courtroom will be lighted on three sides, and special attention has been given to the seating of the | judges, members of the bar, and the jury. It will provide space for a greater number of spectators than the present courtroom, 340 seats being pro- vided for. Although the exterior plan of the building “gives the appearance of only three stories, there will be a fourth one, which will be the county jail. It will be set back 5 feet from the main wall, and will be largely concealed by a parapet wall in the front. Provision has been made in the plans as designed for 30 cells, with additional space for 30 more without increasing the size of the build- ing. This floor also will contain a com- plete apartment for the warden, a prisoners’ reception room, locker root modern kitchen equipment and a finge: arranged as to provide for complete segregation of the races and sexes. Each of the cells will have an out- side window, so arranged that air and light can be obtained, but communica- tion with the outside Will be prevented. No provision is made in that part of the structure which is to be erected first for the Police Court, which is now housed in the Town Hall. However, it was explained that the present Circuit Court room will be turned over to the Police Court when the Circuit Court room in the proposed new structure is completed. Provision for the Police Court is to be made in the east wing, when and if that part of the bullding :s constructed at some later date. It | is pianned to provide in this east wing, construction of which is to be deferred, for a room for the school board and for another Circuit Court room. ‘The architects have been given an- other week to draw up tentative plans | of the type demanded by Lee. An- nouncement was made that another meeting of the committee would be held | next Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock: at the courthouse for the consideration of new exterior designs. right— Luxwriously com- wing in | | | | FAIRFAX APPOINTS WELFARE WORKER Mrs. Manghum Named Super- intendent for County; Board Reorganized.
