few years for public use, So long ago
as 1887 a serious aiemp. wa, made to pro

to be'paid for by taxation upon the people
't the county. The proposition Was sub
m'''ed to the Grand Jury, pur.uan. to the

'hess proceedings prove. ,ha. as far back
as 1897. there was a general impression
that new buildings were necessary, and The
proposition TO cree. them only failed be
,ause Of the place where there they were
proposed to be situate. The proposition
has Stood, as il we're, in abeysnce from

The sea. Of justice ,and as q necessary con
,eqsncs for taxing the people TO repair the
