To THE TAX PAYERS OF WASHING.
TON COUNTY. MISSOURI:
Some tima 900 tho Honor.

TON COUNTY, MISSOURI:
Some time ago the Honor
able County Court Of Washington
County, very wisely too, called on
the tax xpaying citizens to meet in
mass meeting to give expression
relative to building a court house
All sections responded, giving Il
good sized meeting of representa-
tive citizens. There were but few
dissenting, the general opinion be-
ing not only to build, bat to buii,;
a good house, and were in favor
of liberal appropriation for same,
namely $4,000.
The matter of location was dis
cussed, the general opinion being
that the present lot was too small.
The country people thought that
Potosi leople ought to furnish the
site, If any change was made, free
of cost to the county. Expressions
from several were to the effect that
they would do SO.
Now, we understand that some
of these same people are advocat-
ing and endeavoring to have our
county court purchase what is
known as the Bass property for
the purpose of enlarging the lot on
which the old court house stood at
a cost of about $4,000. 1t is very
seldom that property is so valuable
in little country towns as to require
the purchase Of property Of this
value the improvement on which

We have confidence enough in
our present county courtto believe
that they will act Gin this matter
as they have acted in all matters,
relative to the best interest Of the
county, namely, take such actor

masses of the tax-paying citizen:

exchange for the old site, what il
known as the Dean lot, or lot No
