Foard Of Supervisors by Majority
Vote Decides That It viii be
Better to do This Than
Erect New One.
ONLY ONE CONTRACTOR
A. w. Smith Of Fort Madison Is With
out Opposition and VIII Like
" be Awarded the
Contract.

The board Of supervisors Of Lee
county today announced that the CON
tract for rebuilding the court house
at Fort Madison has been let to A. w
Smith, Fort Madison contractor
who was the only bidder. The work
will start Immediately.
The court house at Fort Madison
will be rebuilt. There will be no
vote on the proposition of the cree.
ton of new building as recon.
mended by citizens committee
which waited on the, board Monday
So the board of supervisors decided
by majority vote yesterday.
The recommendation was made as
business proposition, it being their
opinion that the repairing of the
present structure would be a waste
of expense, as the increase of court
business would soon leave the pres
ent building inadequate for the
countys needs. Therefore, they
recommended. use the money requir-
ed for repairs as a starter for new
that amount.
The board have likewise rendered
a business decision. They figure that
the actual expense to the taxpayers
by repairing the building will be
only the few thousand dollars requir-
ed over and above the amount of the
insurance. Put this amount even at
the limit, $4,000, 1t is nothing conn
pared to the interest on the bonds
which would have to be issued, as the
terest until the present bridge debt
is paid, or until 1920. Figuring the
interest at Az per cent, the cost of
a new court house at $4,000, the
interest on the court house bonds
would amount to $50 ,400, and that
there would therefore be direct
financial saving to rebuild the pres
ent structure, even though 1t should
have to be torn down and a new one
built in ten or fifteen years. This is
the business end of the proposition.
More consistently stating, the board
does not think a proposition voting
additional Indebtedness to Lee coun-
ty would meet with the approval of
the voters of the county
A. W. Smith of Fort Madison is the
only bidder for the work of rebuilding
and he will probably be awarded the
contract some time today Or tomor-
row.
The cupola will remain The au-
ditor's and recorders vaults will be
heightened eight feet, the added space
being taken from the recorders Of
fee Work will probably commence
next week
