The Fremont County record., 1881-03-05

IL our opinion the court house can
not be located elsewhere than upon
the site selected years ago by the
county commissioners. That prop
erty was decided to the county for
county buildings, and We save the
assurance OF the most prominent
members of the G. G.. |. company
that they Will not consent TO have
the board, or any future board of
com mnlissioners, violate their contract
without suit. We herewith print
the orders of the board of county
commissioners at that time:
Order of April srh, 1873. "The
ground rendered by the Central Colo
RADIO Improvement company to the
county of Fremont, for the use of
county buildings aud situated imme-
diately west of the west line of the
town of Canon City and north of A
street, if continued westerly, was
this day accepted by the board; Pro-
vidcd that.ihe same be of such guam
tity and shape as will be satisfactory
to the board"
When this order was made, New
York parties held trust decd upon
this property and the Z. c. l. COM
pauy went to considerable trouble

act was accomplished the following
