SOME WANT A new COURT
HOUSE, SOME DO NOT
Letters Pertinent to the Subject
Published Herewith.

Herewith are the views of some Of the
petitioners for the court house:
To THE HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF YAKIMA COUNTY:
GENTLEMEN:
| sincerely hope that you will not
overlook the early necessity of having a
new court house. Outside OF any senti-
ment connected with this proposition, as
one interested in the court records
wish to say that should fire at any time
occur that would destroy our present
court house, the loss of valuable docu-
ments and papers would build ten court
houses. 1t is impossible to preserve
papers in wooden structure of the
character of our present court house
now is good, substantial, fireproof
large, which is also fireproof, to preserve
all our records with capacity to meet the
future developments of our county.
l hope therefore, that the suggestions
which have been made towards the con-
struction of court house will be carried
out with the greatest possible speed.
Respectfully Yours,
II. J. SNIvELY.
To THE HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF YAKIMA COUNTY:
GENTLEMEN:
favor the building of court house
at an early date. Not building for a
display of architectural superfluities,
but good substantial stone building to
meet the demands of the people for a
better court room and offices.
Security for the records of the county
is prime necessity. In case of fire
at present time, when the offices are
open and records are living about differ
ent parts of the building, the loss to the
people would be immense.
1t could be built of our native stone
and as it requires time TO build, some
steps toward it should be taken at once.
Very Respectfully Yours,
A. l.. Atkins.
To THE HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF YAKIMA COUNTY
GENTLEMEN:
Having been requested to give nv
views at this time ON the necessity of
building new court house, | would
respectfully make the following asser-
tions That the present court house is
unsanitary to IN alarming extent That
the county Jail is unfit to harbor human
beings, only the greatest care preventing
the outbreak of epidemics OF disease.
That the odor from the unsanitary
plumbing permeates the entire set of
offices and frequently ESPECIALLY the
cooking odor) reaches the court room up
stairs and endangers the health and lives
of the people who are compelled to at
tend court. That the building is to say
the least, not an ornament even il your
honorable body would feel justified in
mourning the enormous expenses in
rectifying the conditions set forth above.
That believe the suggestions of your
honorable chairman seems feasible, but
the undersigned thinks and believes
bonding would hasten the desired end.
From the foregoing and any number of
weighty reasons which could be NELL
toned, l believe a good court house
should be built and as soon as possible.
Very Respectfully,
P. FRANK.

Opinion Of a Former Commits sioner.

Former County Commissioner w. B.
Mathews of Prosser, gives his views of
the new court house proposition as fol-
lows in the last issue of the Prosser
Record
There is no doubt that the county com
missioners could build $4,000 court
house and not increase the lew to more
than IL mills on the dollar. They could
also raise the money to build the Gold
Hill road, or for any other Improvement
they might wish to make. They could
do all this on 10 or IL mill levy. How?
BY increasing the valuation of all tax
able property. Get your tax receipt for
the year 1902; Won will find that the
levy for that year was Is mills, decrease
of 10 per cent in the number of mills
levied in 1901. Then look at the valua-
tion OF your real estate, and You will
find that there has been an increase of
from rs to 300 per &c ia 10 per cent
reduction in the number of mills levied
and an increase in valuation of from 25
to 300 per cent.
This increase in valuation was made
outside of North Yakima and the road
bed and right-of-way of the Northern
Pacific railway company. The board of
equalization can tell you why. Why not
raise the valuation to $l0,000,000 this
year outside of North Yakima and re-
duce the levy to Is mills? The ''fool
taxpayers" will think they are paying
less tax because less mills are levied.
Anything will go!
BY what authority of law can the
county commissioners make levy to
create a sinking fund for the purpose of
building new court house? l believe
that when SO large sum is to be ex-
pended for the purpose of building \
new court house that the county COM
missioners should get their authority
from the people that pay the taxes.
The county commissioners need not
worry about the levy getting too low
the increase in expenses will keep up
with the increase in valuation of prop
erty. A few more deputies and assis-
tants can be used or in a case of emer-
gency they might re.classify the county
every two years.
For the year ending June 80, 1899, the
total expenditures of current expense
fund was $27, 797 and for the year end
ing June 80, 1902, the expenditures of
current expense fund alone had in
creased to $40, 75S, or nearly 80 per cent.
Some of the old schemes will do if you
want to buil1 that court house; get the
consent of the taxpayers in the old
way-by ballot.
