AS TO the court house question the
equity IL paying s25 per month for build
ing used rs clerks oiice-Der year $500.
Jury rooms are costing about $500 per
year, and we are paying n guard sl.-
400 per year, that Is more than would
be necessary IL We had a suitable Jail
and yard provided. 80 the amount has
got 10 be paid annually: now II no
court house and Jail should be built,
which would nearly II not entirely pay
interest or the cost OF court house and
Jail II built. And further, a question
OF much Importance worthy of con-
sideration Is the present unsafe keep
ing Of county records v hich cannot be
better protected unless a proper place
is provided, and should they bedestrOy-
| ed by accident Or maliciously then u
howl Of incompetency would be placed
10 the credit of the county commits
sloners on their short sightedness. We
now have q right under the provisions
Of the Legislature TO draw $4,000 in
bonds for building court house, and a
section provides that warrants may be
drawn to not exceed ten per cent. but
which at seven per cent. would GER
tainly be at par value. The safety of
our records alone demands some con
s~ideration by the taxpayers Of the
county as all are more or less interested
In them.
The bridge question about which has
been much comment, and some unjust
ly too, Is not as | understand "A foregone
conclusion. and is yet under consider
alton by the board Of commissioners as
to the ACCESSIBILITY Of it; il the citizens
Of the north end Of the county, who
was supposed TO he In need of the
bridge, do not want it, | tor one am
willing for them to do without 1t and
am willing for them to decide 1T by
their votes at the next election, and
am more than willing for them tode-
eide who they want for county com
missioners. IL has been intimated that
the bridge was to be built for the COW
mems convenience branding calves on
the east side of the river. II ! as a
member Of a cattle company should
endeavor to dictate to the taxpayers
In the interest of the COMPANY and fail
TO do my duty to the tax payers of the
county then | would be as much of AN
MSS rs the party making the above init
nations. | feel that the Grayson Cattle
company collectively would he more
opposed TO the bridge consulting their
interests than any other company or
taxpayer in the county. But | don't
propose to consider their interest an in
detriinent to tie tax.paye rs.
Respectfully yours,
