A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

The HlgSinsNllle Advance SHOWS
serious inclination to discuss the cour
house removal from a business point o
r view, in its own words 'sas a bushes
proposition" The INTELLIGENCER ha
claimed that there was not a singh,
Just reason for the court house removal
and from "A business point of view cal
easily prove its declaration.
Now let's see. First the taxpayer
of the county W at Lexington whaI
is called a '.public square," 1t is thret
hundred feet wide and three hundred
feet deep. They own court house.
a clerks Office and a jail.
The square is worth .-.......... so, 900
! The Court House is worth. =. S0,OOl
The Clerks Office is worth 49,. 1900
The Jail Is worth ....... 49,. 20,OOC
Other improvements, iron fence, &C. 2,5OO
Total -. 80. .......-.. $S7,OOO
AT a minimum estimate the tax
payers own SST, coo worth of property
in Lexington, the most convenient city
to a majority of the taxpayers of the
county.
In place of this Higginsville agrees
to give the Taxpayers Ian agreement
against public policy and therefore
cannot be enforced) 100000, or as she
says build a court house and jail. In
other words she is going to present to
the taxpayers property worth $4,000
less than they now own. This is the
business proposition the Advance wants
discussed and so does the INTEL
LIGENcER.
this proposition that The Advance
don't want discussed, and that is the
extra az that will rave TO be levied.
The Advance don't like to talk about
levying taxes, but it knows and every
body else knows that $4,000 would
not buy a square and improve it for
county purposes. Then there is another
tax, that ssdollar an acre. that they are
asking the farmers for to enable them
10 give %OOiVVu. 1udb uOiiuh uu GIG
will bring every farmer to Lexington
as often as his business at the county
seat demands attention, for more than
ordinary life time.
There is principle in this question
far more potent than the amount of
money involved, yet there is not a
child in school in Lafayette county who
cannot understand that in this s'business
dear' the taxpayers would lose s27 900
worth of property, granting that
500, 900 would be donated.
The INTELLIeENcER wants the ques-
ton discussed on its merits. Lafayette
county owns a court house. II she
it moved she ought not be under
to any one for q new one.
If there is ever a court house for county
use built in Higginsville it ought to be
built by the county. II the taxpayers
want to nov the present county seat
they should get ready to vote 800, 900
for buildings and grounds. Lafayette
with her millions of dollars of property,
and her thirty-three thousand contented
people is not o charity. She is able
10 own the property she needs. This
grand county is NJ on the begging
list yet. If H~igginsville has sec, 900
give away let her donate it to
charitable Institutions. If Lafayette
wants a court house there she will
,uild one.
