by the farmers OF the county:
vinita. Okla. April i2 1909
Editor Of The Chieftain.
Vlnita, Okla
Dear Sir: notice a few objeetors
in some parts Of the county to the
building Of the court house for Craig
county. | hardly think there Is much
serious opposition to this improve
ment when it is fully understood what
saving the county will make By hay
ing its own nome to do business in;
besides the comfort and convenience
|of the people, which will accrue to
them over tn present crowded. un.
healthy and unsanitary conditions.
The court house is used more by the
farmers and their wives and by people
living considerable distance from it
than by those who might be situated
closer to ii Farmers make up the
jury and the citizens and their wives
and families are often forced to come
to the court house as witnesses, and Il
is often necessary that they have a
home-like and comfortable place to
spend the time, which they are requir-
ed TO give up to the county I think
a rest room for women and men, who
are thus compelled TO be present at
the various courts should be prepared
and made a part Of the building This
indeed should be q home fof every
one that desires to come to the coun.
ty seat to transact busines
Now as to the cost The proposed
bond issue of one hundred thousand
dollars would draw interest at 5 per
cent and sell at a premium Thus the
county would only be paying five thou.
sand dollars per annum for the use
OF the magnificent home instead OF the
cramped and dingy quarters now used
for this purpose and whore the people
from the outlying districts of the
county can hardly find the different
|oliicers This amount, which we viii
pay will be a saving over the ex-
pense OF renting or leasing the quar-
ters for the county and its Offices in
less than three years from this time.
