THE RENT PROPOSITION.
f. f. Sheridan and II. ID. Riley APP
peared before the board in behalf of
The Home Building and Security
company, concerning the renting of
part of their building, known as the
Odd Fellows building, to the county
for the use of its public officers, and
II proposition was made to the Board
of County Commissioners, offering to
lease to them the part of said build
ing now occupied by the county Off
cials of Rio Blanco county for the
consideration of $500 per year, or 1872
and the county commissioners pay
the taxes on said building, which said
offer and proposal was rejected by the
board of county commissioners, for
the reason that said board considers
the price of said rental unreasonable
and excessive, especially in view OF
the fact that Rio Blanco county now
owns n building of it's own, which
can be suitably prepared for court
house and for the use of the public
officials of Rio Blanco county, and
said board deems it wise and in the
interest of the taxpayers generally
that such should be done.
