The Public Building.

Washington, July 2.-The treas
ury department will make another
attempt to get public building for
Owosso under the present appropria-
tion. Bids will be received until
July 81. On the first advertisement
the bids were considerably beyond
the appropriation, and so the super
vising architect has altered the
plans.
The new plans call for building
of one story and basement, but
Owosso, under these plans must give
up any hope of getting a stoneNstruc-
ture. Ouly the walls from the grade
to the first floor level will be Of
stone, above that point brick, with
terra Gotta trimmings. The public
lobby will have a marble and terraz-
20 floor, marble wainscot, hardwood
trimmings and ornamental plaster
ceiling. Two mezzanine floors will
be Used as store room and pension
bureau ns
The new building will be IA feet
long, 60 feet wide, and about 27
feet from grade to the top of the
parapet 1t will be situated at the
northwest corner of Park and Ex-
change streets, from each of which
it will have a public entrance. At
each entrance there will be two large
iron lamp posts.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1907-07-05

The amount voted by the peole
was s75,00O.O0.
Making, the cost of the building
complete $4S,041.36 more than was
appropriated unless there is taken
from this amount $4,000 which was
received as a bonus on the bonds
and .$225 received from the sale of
the old court house and barn, which
would make the additional cost
s44,S16.36.
The reason the debt Of the Coun-
ty is only $19,524.26 greater instead
of $4S,041.36 (the amount used for
the court house in excess of the
SIS, ,000yoted) greater than on jan
1, 1903s is that some debts have
been paid by money raised in. the
regular tax levy for contingent ex-
penses during the past four years.
The bill passed by the legislature
provides for voting ,onsthe issuing
of bonds to pay all indebtedness of
the County except the claims of M.
H, Knapp of $4,000 and Hickman &
Sons ofs$911.25, and disposes of
the debts of $5S,S76.Os which ac-
cumulated before the construc-
tion of The court house or the
contracting of any debts for the new
building or fixing of the grounds,
the reason for not including the
claim ofiM. H. Knapp being that it
is for note issued in payment of
an order given for sheriff's services
and transferred to Mr.. Knapp, and
for not Including the Hickman bill
on account of its now being in the
courts for settlement as to its legal
ity. TE
The committee recommends that
an election be held on Aug. 13, 1907,
in accordance with the terms of en-
rolled Act No. 10 local acts of 1 19O7.

County indebtedness.

At session of the board of supsrvis-
ors held on Monday committee Of five
was named to draft a report showing
the condition of the county Indebtedness.
Their report Is as follows:
To the Honorable the Board OF
Supervisors, of Shiawassee County:
Gentlemen: The special commit
tee appointed to make statement
of the debts of the county and to
prepare a resolution to provide for
holding a special election as becomes
obligatory under an act of the leg
islature, would respectfully report
as fol --.--.-...
We find the total Indebtedness of
Shiawassee County exclusive Of the
$4,000 of Court House bonds to be
$77,90035, made up as follows:
On notes of various dates to John
T. McCurdy $4,000
On note given to Katherine
Moxley $500
On notes given to Susan Nc
Carthy 1000
On note to r. F. Kay 1000
To "The Trust Co." = 10000
On note to Citizens Savings
Bank, of Owosso 10000
On note to M. H. Knapp 5000
On note to Hickman & Sons 911.25
and interest on the above notes at
4 per cent. to Aug. 13, 1907.
Your committee is informed that
"The Trust Co." was Hugh Me-
Curdy, of Corunna, and that no one
else furnished any money for the
Trust Co. loans and that the a
mounts are due him and to no one
else.
We find that the debts of the
County on Jan. 1, 1908, we're $685.
$1,000, which debts had accumulat-
ed from time to time by notes given
by Treasurers Geo. d. Mason, Ru-
dolph Colby, and Richard F. Kay,
the reason for issuing such notes
being the failure of the boards of
supervisors from year to year to
provide sufficient funds to pay the
running expenses of the County.
The debt now is $19, 9,524.26
greater than on Jan. 1, 1903, which
amount has been added by, the use
of more money than was appropriat-
ed by the people for the building of
a Court House.
The cost of the Court House as
near as your committee is able to
determine is as follows:
For building-Rickman contract
$110,534.0O
For architects Services ,6,572.36
For experimenting $4,000
For decorating building 5,695.00
Making a total of ,041.36

The electors of the county NNl
have the opportunity of voting cu
the proposition OF bonding the coun-
ty to pay certain notes held by citi-
zens for money, advanced to build
the court house. The notes are il
legal because the supervisors ex-
ceeded their authority in borrowing
the same. A bill has passed the leg
islature to legalize the claims, pro-
vided the people vote in favor OF
paying the notes. The latter are
held by innocent parties and they
should not be made to suffer for err
rors~ef county officials. If the burd-
en- could be thrown where it ought
to be borne& the situation would be
intirely different. The Press-Amer-
lean has steadily insisted that the
voters would eventually pay these
obligations.
1t does not seem right to make
innocent parties suffer for the faults
of officials whom the electors have
placed in power The obligations
should, in our judgement, be paid
and we trust the electors will so ex-
press themselves at the special cleo

The Durand Express says
The board of supervisors will again
place before the voters of Shiawassee
county the proposition of paying for
the court house, by sanction of a ma.
jority of voters and with this announce
ment the voice of argument is again
heard. From the present outlook, how
ever, the proposition will carry this
time and the cloud of debt will be lifted
from over our county Many people
are going to vote yes with an ill-will
and 'hate. to-do-it" sort of way, but
the fact that presents itself first, last
and always must be recognized.
That fact summed up is this: Shia-
wassee county is in debt; it owes for
money borrowed to build court house.
The people who loaned that money are
lin no way to blame If the same was
borrowed illegally, nor if it was'spent
illegally. Because the bulk of the
county's population does not sanction
the methods employed in the erecting
of the court b, use oud t.,vvt. ..4v super
