The Municipal Board hearc the pros and cons and ruled ir *favour of the caunties. Thuý was written the final chaptei ta a long story that went bacl several years. Playing a promn inent part in the picture waà the Northumberland and Dur- ham Bar Association who had threatened the counties cour. cil with a ,writ ta compel thcîr ta provide better accommoda- tion for the administration ai justice. It started some years ago with a formai protest fram the bar association which registered disapproval o! the prevailing court accommodations and the advent o! the women jury sys- tem heightened the agitation for improved facilities for the courts. It was pointed out that there was a need for proper accommodation for women jur- ors and also that the law libra - rY was jammed ta capacity and nieeded mare roam and a place was required where solicitors could confer with their clientls during court sessions. The town o! Cobourg colin- tered with a proposal ta build a wing but the counities coun- cil felt that they would bear the brunt o! the cost. A special committee shopped aroiînc for! another building but cast of changing it ta meet their re. quirements was regarded as * 'oo great and the idea fell ,through. When it became evident that liegotiations Xere getting ne,- where, the bar association took sterner measures and produced a writ ta force the counties council ta take action. Th-is year the counties council came_ forth with a definite decisioîî ta turn down the o vertures made by the Cobourg towa counicil and ta erect their owiu administration building onl William.
