improvements to his residence

the old addition will be quite com

The little daughter of Mr.. Wealth

The people of Marysville are
interested in the ''bond issue. ="
The reason they are interested is
because our people are composed
of intelligent, thinking, industrious
and cautious individuals. We all
take care of that which we have.
aud we do not believe in seeing
things go to waste. We have
about $45, 900 worth of county re-
cords i'll the barn or what is called
the "court house" at St. Anthony,
as nearly as an estimate can be
placed OH county records. But il
these same records estimated al
such an enormous cost, should be
destroyed by fire, which is quite
likely to occur at any time il
such old frame buildings, there is
no estimate that could be placed OF
the loss to this county. There is
not a property holder in the county
that would not suffer directly from
such a calamity. It would be I'M
possible for you to sell a piece O
land and give a title to it. Have
You all abstract Of your property ii
your home or III the banko No
There isn't one out Of a hundred
who has, consequently If the county
records should be destroyed vol
would not have the scratch Of {
pen to establish the right and titlt
to your land. The additional cos
il taxes to you; for these bonds t.
build a suitable court house ano
vaults to protect your records, viii
be so small that you will not know
that you have paid it. Let us taxi
a few figures from the county rec
ords, and you can go there anl
compare Our statement to see If W.
are not correct, and we will fine
out Just what it will cost us il
additional taxes to build and furn
ish court house costing $4,000
All you are to pay each year TO
the time the bonds ruin is 5 pc
cent. Oh $4,000 which will b
SO, 500 annually. We are now pay
ing about $3.50 annually for offic
rents for county officials who hav
no place in the present court house
, for high priced insurance, for re
pats on the present rotten oil
+ buildings and for place to hol
court. This must be deducte
from the $1,000 interest on tn
bonds which leaves us only ST, IS
additional taxes to pay annually
and for which at the end OF twent
years our children will have a goo
substantial court house. If we cor
: tinue to pay out this $3.50 annual
at the end of twenty years OF
y children will say we threw ava
, $15, 900.
Now we have 81, $50 additlons
