Tho Bond issue.

In speaking about the bond measure
in late issue, we said that the question
to be decided was simply whether we
wish to build court house by bonding
or by direct tax. We still think we were
right. There is little doubt in our mind
but what we are to have court house
within two years, and there is none that
we need one. The result of the election
on Tuesday of last week was q defeat of
the bonding plan by very heavy major
ity, still we do not regard the vote as in.
dickting any strong general preference
tor direct tax. We hear that many
voted no bonds, thinking that thereby
THY were virtually voting no court house
for the present. A new court house is
claimed to be an absolute necessity.
Whether or no the old one will do few
years yet we are unable to say, but certain
1t Is that pressure is being brought to
bear IN the matter from 50 many sou rces
that a new building within two years may
be regarded as settled fact.-Lel2oy In

1T does not appear to us to be o matter
OF much Importance when the convention

that the counties could elect delegates to
