Orange City Times: Some Of our friends
have taken US TO task for advocating an ap-
propriation by the county to be added TO
We court house fund raised and guaranteed
by DeLand. We think that tho interest of
the county will be best subserved in the end
if $50, 900 court house is erected now in
stead of SIS, 900 one. Suppose that De
Land presents the county with a $500
court house, which she is under bond to do,
what VIII result ten years
hence, Why the $4,000 structure viii
be torn down as too Insignificant and small
for a court house for this county, and we
would then be put TO the whole expense of
erecting a $4,000 or s40,0 900 court house
that would be necessary for the business of
the county then. We believe in the issue of
bonds TO the amount needed, and have
them draw rs small interest as possible, and
have them become due in from five TO ten
years. BY this method the draw on the
pres -nt taxpayers for this purpose would
hardly be felo, and we believe the people of
the county desire this, instead of the small
court house promised US by Del.and
