SAN BENITO COUNTY. 379 SAN BENITO COUNTY INTRODUCTION San Benito County was formed in 1874 from territory cut off from ]\Ionterey County. To the original county there was added in 1887 small sections of territory detached from Fresno and Merced counties. The county seat has from the first been located at Holli.ster, which is the only town of considerable size in the county. The first courthouse was a modest structure remodeled from a build- ing on the present courthouse site. This first courthouse was sold in 1888 for the sum of $400. The present courthouse, a substantial brick structure, was occupied in the same year. The Hall of Records, a beautiful and well appointed building of steel and concrete, was com- pleted in 1911. These buildings are both well cared for and present a handsome appearance. The Hall of Records is as near fireproof as such a building can be made, as no wood was used in the construction of the building itself and there is practically none in its furnishings. The courthouse proper, with which the Hall of Records is connected l)y an enclosed corridor, is not so safe a.s the latter building, but will propably rank above the average in point of safety. Electric lights and steam heat are used. All of the offices have sufficient room for the present records, and a large basement under the Hall of Records provides a safe place for Ihe storage of the older records as thfir current usefulness expires. The county Iteing comparatively xdiiii'.:'. I lie i|ii:intity of records is not large. The officials are in general cfliciciit ami careful. The offices of Clerk, Auditor and Recorder are combined, as are also those of Tax Collector and Sheriff. These archives were examined in December, 1916.

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY INTRODUCTION San Bernardino Coimty was formed in 1853 from territory whieli had belonged to Los Angeles and San Diego counties. Two more or less important changes have subsequently been made in its boundaries : the first in 1872, when all the territory of the county lying north of the sixth standard was given to Inyo County; the other in 1893, when some 590 square miles were given to the newly organized Rivei-sidt- Coimty. A portion of the western boundary as surveyed in 1878 did not follow the dascription given in the statutes or code, hence it was open to dispute. By an act passed in 1917 the line between Kern and San Bernardino was modified. In 1919 an amendment to the Political Code redefined the boundaries in full making a slight change in the Los Angeles-San Bernardino boundary- and also in the Riverside- San Bernardino line. Since the beginning San Bernardino has been the county seat. The present courtliou.se was first occupied about 1873. It is a wooden building and is equipped largely with wooden furniture and heated by wood .stoves. It is, therefore, constantly in danger from fire. Fortu- nately, however, most of the offices are located in two additions which have been constructed in recent years : a Hall of Records in 1890, and an addition to the courthouse in 1892. These are of stone and cement and may be considered fireproof, but are greatly endangered by the older wooden building, as well as by private buildings which are not far removed. Vaults are not used to any great extent. The offices are much overcrowded, so that old records are frequently sent to the basement or to the bonfire. These archives were examined in July. 1916.
