But in order for East Street to go straight at that point and be wider it would have been necessary for the federal govern- than two thirds of present space requirements with no allowance for future expansion. More experience with court operations under "blue ballot" reform has indicated that the expansion is already here and continuing to press at the seams of available room.

Mr. Lundeen pointed out that it is about 65 years since the present building was designed and begun and that population and activity growth have been greatest in the last 20 years. With the current "population explosion" he sees only one trend more and more expansion. It is his opinion that the county should build with an eye to that kind of future.
