possible in getting it. The reason an

wanted to bother them as much as
possible in getting it. The reason an
other gave for voting down the bonds
is that in the first place the county
commissioners were influenced by New
Ulm parties to start building the
courthouse so as to make q county
seat removal impossible, and in the
second place he says the commissioners
had no right to start the courthouse
and again he says the county commits
sioners have used funds on the build
ings that they had no right to use.
We don't know how much truth there
is in these assertions, but it is evident
that they are having effect on the
people.
In the Rustler's talk to the tax-pay-
ers of Brown Co., in our last issue, it
was shown that, if the bond plan were
defeated at the coming election, the an
nua) courthouse tax would amount to
"a cents on every 500 valuation; while
the adoption of the bond measure
would make that tax only cents on
every 800 valuation. In outlining
the proposed method of beginning to
levy for sinking fund not sooner than
the year 1900, the Rustler made the fol-
lowing remark.
It is proposed to distribute the ex-
pense of building the courthouse as
equally as possible among the tax-pay.
ers OF the next thirty years. Beginning
with the year 1900, if $500 be levied an
nually for sinking fund for five years
(190O--1904), $1,000 annually for the
next five years (19o5 1909, ST, 700 for
the next five years (1910-191D, and
s., 400 for the remaining five years
(1915-l919), the sinking fund, with
simple interest at four per cent. would
amount to $50, 44O al the time when the
bonds mature (1919). To preserve
uniform rate Of 5 cents on every 500
OF valuation, it is necessary that the
Valuation OF the county be as follows:
100000, 50, 500, 900; 100000, SIS,
800, 900; l910-l9l4, Sc, 900, 600;
l9l5-l919, $9.so0,OOo. No one who
is familiar with the history and nat
ural resources of our county can rea-
sonably doubt that the actual valuation
during the periods in gu. stion will be
far in excess of that here given. The
rate of 5 cents ON every 800 of valua.
ton, thereof, will tend to diminish
rather than to increase in future years.
| BY the bond plan as outlined above, the
present generation would pay its share
OF the cost of the courthouse; let those
who come after us pay theirs.
|
The Rustler now proposes 10 show
that the valuations given above are ex-
cesslyely low, and. consequently, that
the courthouse tax by the bond plan
| will be less than cents for every 500
valuation in future years.
-.
In 1870. the aggregate valuation Of
the county was 1907, O57; in 1883, it
was S., 396,2O4. This means an in
crease of 22l per cent. during the last
Is years. If our county should grow
only half as fast in the next IS years,
its aggregate valuation in 1906 would
be So, $780, while the proposed plan
would require valuation of only SIS,
SOC, 900 from 1905 1909, and even 10
years later (1915-1919) the valuation
need not exceed SO, SOC, 200, to keep the
courthouse tax at cents per 800 va
luation.
