" That the court house and gaol in and for the county of Franklin, shall be erected at the place where Noah Moody's dwelling house stood, on the rising ground a few rods west of the bridge, in the center of the town of Ezraville, in said county."
By an act passed March 9, 1810, the supervisors of the county of Franklin were directed and empowered to raise the sum of $3,250, in three equal annual instalments, for the purpose of building a court house and jail, at the place previously established by law.
The sum of $250 was to be raised for the purpose of preparing a temporary room in the Academy, to answer the purpose of a jail, until one could be built.
The supervisors were directed to appoint a committee of three or five, to superintend the erection of the county buildings. When finished, the sheriff was to give notice of the fact by public proclamation.
By an act passed April 3, 1811, the supervisors of Franklin county were direcied and empowered to raise the further sum of $500, in two equal annual instalments, to be levied and collected in the same manner as the other necessary and contingent charges are annually raised, together with five per cent. in addition for the commission of the collector, and one per cent. for treasurer's fees. This money was directed to be applied towards building a court house and jail.
By an act passed March 5, 1819, the supervisors were directed to raise a tax not to exceed $1,000, to build a fire proof clerk's office, in Franklin county.
The action of the board of supervisors in relation to the public build- ings, will be given in the following synopsis of their proceedings.
The present court house was erected by Noah Moody, in 1811-1813 "and contains within it the jail. During the summer of 1852, a separate and very appropriate building was erected for a jail.
