To the Hon. the Co. Board Of Grant CO.
We, your Committee. to whom was referred
| the report ofthe court house committee, Tor
| the purpose OF a more definite report on the
question OF how to raise the necessary funds
/ with which to build the new court house,
would respectfully recommend:
| That all of the money be raised by borrow
| ing the same from the state school fund.
| That IL be borrowed for term of not less
than ten years at the rate of 34 per cent.
| payable in equal annual installments with
| interest. No part OF the principal To be paid
/ the first year. We estimate that the build
| ing OF "A 100000 court house would entail an
| increase in taxation Of less than three-tenths
| OF mill or in other words a farm assessed
at the valuation of $1,000 would pay as the
court house tax for the frst year IN winch
any iDstallment Of the principal was 70 be
paid about thirty-two cents, and that the
average increase in taxation for the entire
period Will not exceed twenty-five cents on
q al
We recommend that committee be APP
pointed consisting OF members of the pres
steps TO procure tne loan aud 10 prepare the
necessary ordinances to secure the payment
OF the indebtedness. This method of obtain
ing money has the added advantage that all
money that is paid by Grant Cot nty as in
terest will be paid into the state school fund
and so lesson the amount that will have to
be raised for school taxes.
