Luke asked the Board members if they wanted to "deface the building" by putting in a door and an outside fire escape or instead consult an architect to see if it's feasible to cut through a front jury room for an inside front stairway and exit.
‘‘Tell them we’ve got a bunch of ropes," interjected Supervisor H. B. Wood, only partly in jest.
Luke explained that a stairway and exit couldn't be located in the back of the court house since the furnace w as situated in the rear of the building. The fire escape, said Luke, has to be opposite the heat site in order to meet state fire code regulations. At the suggestion of Supervisor Butch Eastham, Luke agreed to first check with county engineer Fanning Baumgardner on design alternatives before contacting architect Averv Faulkner.
Supervisor Wood asked if a fire escape that could be lowered when needed would be an alternative acceptable under the fire code. "How about a rope ladder?" he suggested again.
Luke replied that there are people required to be in the upstairs courtroom who aren't capable of easily going up or down a rope ladder.
