makes an attempt in 1910 to place
the seat of government somewhere
near the center of it's business.
When those conditions dawned up
on the republicans of this locality, a
number of them addressed a letter
to Commissioner Arland, asking him
to state his position on the subject,
subject so important to the whole
Grays Harbor region. This letter
was couched in unambiguous terms
and it requested similar reply
Here is the letter:
ITO G. w. Arland, Montesano. Wash
Sir: In addressing this letter of
inquiry to YOU. the undersigned are
prompted by uo wish to embarass
you in your candidacy for County
Commissioners from the First district
I.but rather by Il lesire to gain from
YOU definite statement that will set
at rest the many rumors now cir
culated as respects your present po-
sition on the question of a new court
house at Montesano.
Two years ago, you expressed the
opinion that the present court house
| answered all requirements and that
it would serve the County for an
other twenty years. Your opponents
here, however, recall that later and
after the election, you lent your in
fluence and gave your vote as lnem-
Der of the Board of County Commits
sioners to a project to build a new
court house at Montesano, and that
the sum of $1,000 was appropriated
for the drafting of plans for such a
building.
"Now. we take it, conditions as re-
spects the present court house are
no different at this time than they
have been at any time since you
gave your opinion two years ago.
The building still meets all require
ments and is still good for twenty
years. Is that your attitude today?
II elected, will you again vote for
plans for new structure? If elect
ed, will you, as member of the
Board of County Commissioners, give
your vote to a project that may be
hereafter promoted to build a new
| court house at Montesano?
"This matter arose but lately or 1t
would have been called to your at
tention earlier. Under the circum-
stances an immediate reply to the
questions propounded seems to us
imperative. This is not time for
evasion.
I Feeling certain that your an
swer will silence all the rumors that
have gained currency to the effect
that plans for new court house are
in preparation and that the pro-
posal has your approval, we are,
Respectfully.
