WASCO TO HAVE
NEW COURT HOUSE

Ground will be broken in a few days
for Wasco county's $4,000 court
house, which the county court has
authorized to be built, says a dispatch
from The Dalles. The bid Of s. N.
Arnold was accepted and his bond of
500. 600 approved last Saturday. The
contract calls for the completion of
the jUb by October !. The price for
Mr.. Arnold's work is $4l, ,764.
The building will be l00xl20 feet on
the corner of Fifth and Washington
streets, which the county bought about
a year ago. 1t will be two stories high
and basement. the walls being of rein
forced concrete, the facings of native
stone or pressed brick. The county
has available $500 cash to expend
this year, and with this amount the
walls and roof can be completed. Ii
is expected the building will be finished
inside of three years, neeessitating a
special levy each year that will pro-
duce about $50, 900. Thus the burden
to the taxpayers will be comparatively
light.
