FACTS FOR VOTERS.

KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
That the removal of the county-seat to Bowl
ing Green will be at the sacrifice of the interests
and convenience of two-thirds of the taxpayers
of Wood County.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
That the Bowling Green Adroeate, failing in
the presentation of substantial reasons for the
removal of the county brands all those who
will vote against it as Fools or KNAvEs, unfit
TO exercise the right of suffrage. Is not the cause
a weak one that requires such vituperatve boil
stering this2
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
That all stories in circulation in reference to
ahe insecurity of the county buildings at Perrys-
burg are false; that, the contrary, the present
county buildings are in good and substantial
trim, in every regard, and will serve the pur-
poses of the county for many years to come "a
fact to which our county officials, and all disin-
terested parties in the habit of visiting these
buildings, are willing to testify. '
KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
That the. lowest estimated costs for new county
buildings range from $4,000 to 100000, and
that in case of the removal of the county seat
this sum will be imposed upon the Taxpayers of
the county, in addition to the already large sums
they pay out annually for United Stntrs, state,
county, school, ditch, road and other purposes.
Is it not better to await the time when our pres
ent burdens viii be measurably lghtened, before
we assume still heavier burden?
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
That the statement, that it is the design of the
friends of non-remoTal, in the vote goes in
their favor, to induce the County Commissioners to
construct buildings at this place, that will cost
from slOO,OsO to sl5O,OOO the whole sum to be
raised by taxation-IS FALSEl The statement
is "cut out of whole cloth,' and is without the
shadow of foundation. Sufficient evidence that
there is not word of truth in it, is the fact, that
such procedure is NOT AUTHORIZED BY LAW,
as there is express act relation to this natter
passed April 4, 1866, which says that the Commits
sioners shall not erect any county buildings, "by
which larger amount of money or expense is in
volved than Ten Thousand Dollars, WITHOUT FIRST
SUBMITTING THE QUESTION, as to the policy of such
outlay or expense involved therein, TO THE Qu ALI
FLED VOTERS OF THE COUNTY" Thus it will be
seen that the people have this matter entirely in
their own hands, the assertions of spectators and
their employees to the contrary notwithstanding.
KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
That in the Bowling Green enabling act there is
no provision made for donations towards the cree
tion of public buildings, and consequently the
entire cost of such erection must be met by the
taxpayers, in case of removal. In Putnam County
where removal is also to be voted upon, such pro-
vision is made in their enabling act, which pro
vides that removal must not take place until
fifteen thousand dollars have bee.i donated ant
paid for expense of buildings. There, the cast
has been deposited, aud the requirement met ac
cording to law. In the Bowling Green enabling
act such provision has been studiously and
designedly avoided. Let our x-pay ers bear thi.
fact in mind.
