The New Berlin Plans.

In a New Berlin Star Of last rehruav,
is carefully prepared article which read:

tbs is the -Fcm Beri;a, !int-Diri.ioa
design. And suppose "thosc buildings
fall" and We have new ones, similar to
.hcsc Of our "sis:er countless" to he pad
hy taxes what would be the expense?
Messrs. Secbold, Rcshong, Swineford,
Wilson and Schoch, the New Berlin Anti
Division Committee. estimate the cost o. 2
new Court House, &c, at over s27 900.
The New Berlin Times of May 9Th, puts
down $4,000 as the cost for Grounds,
Court House, Jail, &c, for each new
county.
The .Stor's estimates arc abou: as large.
If the New BcrlineTs would expcnd
$4,000 or $40, 900 each for tie tno coun-
lies, they would ezpend doaJ@e that sum
for the county as il is, aa';rded Moth
ing short of &c., or $50, 600 buildings
would, from this voluntary eghibd of the
New Berlin committee and papers, "ieij.e
cut a .joWl stain on the .tair .tacc Of the
county"
The .Star and Tines also state that new
Jails will cost So ZOO, as in York county.
II that be true, twice s52, 900 is SlO4, 000
for a Jail for the whoie county, At New
Berlin, is just estimate.
Remember, all Of Mis IS 10 Le paid Ly
Tardtioa!'
Remember, too, that this plan was
sought to be sprung upon you, last Winter,
without your knowledge. b1s~ And re-
member, also, that if you elect a Conmis-
sicner in the New Berlin interest, lie may
aid in getting Grand Jury that will, ere
you are aware, saddle this heavy burden On
you. %s.sa
The Division Plan.
Since rev County Buildings must soon
be made, the Divisionists propose that the
towns having the benefits Of Courts, &c,
shall pay the first cast. Their plan is to
have County Buildings erected nholIy by
i,,ica,e subscriptions, without any tax upon
the people; ga AND If BUILDINGS ARE
NOT SO FURNISHED, THE COUNTY WILL
NOT Re DIVIDED.
Whoterer the cost may be, must be
fully male up, and bona-filc guarantees,
to be approved ty Judges, Commissioners;
and Jurors, must be first furnished.
The two Plans.
We are willing the New Berlin people
should make their onn estimates far their
e''n expenses, but not for ours The people
of Lewisburg, Miflinburg, Freeburg, Mid
dleburg and Selinsgrove, think that at the
present day, $4,000, judiciously cxpend-
Ell on approved plans, might make County
buildings good eoo'yt FIR tsem Ours
