In addition to increasing insurance coverage, we need to make the buildings more efficient," maintained Ms. Bruce. She noted that the county was paying “enormous fuel bills”—$683.49 for fuel purchased during December 7 through 21—that could be cut down if storm windows were installed.
It isn’t just the older buildings in the court house complex that aren’t energy efficient. According to Ms. Bruce, the front desk in the new clerk’s office can’t be used unless a newspaper is put in the window to keep the wind from coming through.
Sheriff W. A. Buntin interjected that all the windows in the clerk’s new office had a quarter inch of ice on the inside throughout the whole day Wednesday.
Wood agreed that storm windows would be feasible. “Most everybody does it and they think it pays”, no matter what type of heating system is used, he remarked.
Eastham added that the roof in the courthouse also needed insulation and Latham noted that it was an ideal time to renovate the inside of the old clerk’s building before offices were moved there from the court house.
Ms. Bruce explained that no storm windows were installed in the new clerk’s office because “the county put emphasis on the exterior appearance of the building.” There were no storm windows on the old building so the architect allowed for none on the new to keep the two structures as alike as possible.
In addition, she said, thermal pane windows weren’t installed because they didn’t come in the same size as the windows in the old office.
