the new court house proposition Is now
fairly before the people of the county for
their acceptance or rejection, and the op-
portunity should not careIessly be cast
aside without due thought, as the necessity
for new building on q new site cannot be
successfully contrAdIcted. Neither can it
be denied that such q favorable oppor-
tunity to build adVantsgeously, especially
from . financial view, may ever occur
again IN the history of the county Every
Intelligent voter should well consider all
the arguments in the case, and not let any
narrow considerations of locality hinder
him from heartily endorsing the measure
for the general good of every tax payer of
the county. The amount of bonds agreed
70 be voted for by the commissioners is
$4,000, to bear not To exceed five per cent
interest. The commissioners have decided
that the voters shall say on which of the
three sites offered they prefer the court
house should be built. This is well, az 1t
surely leaves no good grounds why every
citizen OF every portion of our city should
not vote for the bonds as we'll as the local
