The farmers OF this locality will not vote
solidly for a $4,000 court house although
they could be counted on IL the price
was raised to $4,000 and FIRE prsof
building constructed. Ne use 10 build a
new one unless 1t be tire proof. Should
the old one burn or "fsll down" the
county would have to build new one
and the probabilities are, under such
circumstances, 1t would cost the tax
payers Of the county 100000 instead Of
$4,000 or even $4,000. Let us have
new court house before the valuable doc
umsnts therein stored are lost.
We would say regarding the above
that 900 will build good substantial
court house, ample In size for the bust
ness of this county, with vaults In the
main offices absolutely FIRE proof, large
enough to hold all books and papers.
Allsgan county has ~ good court house
as we want, built for that amount, and
there is no question Of the safety Of
book, and papers, EDITOR.
