COURT HOUSE QUESTION
TO Be VOTED ON
County Commissioners Have Decided
to.Call Special Election on
Question Of Bond Issue.

The question of a new courthouse,
which has been up before the county
commissioners at every meeting for
the last ten months, will be placed in
the hands Of the voters of the coun-
ty to decide once for all whether or
not Yakima county is to be put on
the honor roll with other progressive
counties of the state, and build for
themselves fine home in which to
transact the county business. As a
matter OF fact 1t is a movement on
the part of the county commissioners
to place the matter before the peo-
pie, and find out whether or not the
people are going to sustain them in
their decision to build a new court
house. 1t will be remembered that
the county commissioners have al
ready decided to erect a new build
ing, and have even gone so far as to
let the contract to w. w. FELTON,, the
courthouse to cost about $4,000. 1t
is therefore question of not only
voting bonds, but a question of voting
to sustain the action of the commits
sioners whom the people have already
elected to decide such matters for
eHSAh. AC 6CuCIdl OplulOH Is tuaI
the county commissioners know their
business. and that they will certain
ly be sustained by the people on the
18th of November.
The decision to build a new court
house was reached by the commits
sioners at meeting they held last
January, but at that time Benton
county was yet attached to Yakima.
1t was the opinion of leading attor-
neys at that time that Yakima coun-
ty could incur an Indebtedness over
the present Indebtedness of 500, 900.
The plans to be selected by the COM
missioners were to come below this
figure. At last 1t was decided to
build. the cost to be $4,000, and the
contract was let.
When Benton county was cut of
from Yakima. 1t took away about
100000 from the assessed yalu-
alton Of Yakima county. There was
also about that time an Indebtedness
Of something like $4,000 incurred.
which was not taken into considera-
ton. The commissioners then real
lied that the limit OF Indebtedness
would be reached when SEQ, 900 or
$65,000 had been expended on a new
ference of about $4,000 that could
not be legally contracted for. OF
course, when the 1905 taxes come in
the limit will be raised sufficiently
high to meet the contingency. but,
as a matter of fact, the commission
ers have always wanted the people
to vote on the proposition, hence their
action.
I 1t Is clearly now up to the people
TO decide. Are they willing to incur
this indebtedness for the sake Of get
ting something that is absolutely
