Everette, the last time I was up in that attic was about seven years ago. My recollection is that there was a huge volume of records, mostly bound in years of hardback ledger-type binders. I was not aware the County Supervisors had committed funds for new file cabinets. I can only hope they first surveyed the size and number of bound records to be stored before placing their file cabinet order. It really was quite large, occupying many cubic feet of the attic. Thanks for the update on this issue. I hope someone else has a more current update for all of us.
