Editor Chief
ysI will write you few lines as to
how we think in regard to the court
house proposition. believe 1t is the
best for The taxpayers of the county.
I don't think any reasonable person
would say that we don't need court
house Ihear some saying that it is
Red Cloud that wants the court house.
l live fifteen miles away from the court
house, and l need my portion Of it
just as much as Red Cloud does. l
would not want the people Of Red
Cloud to sit the old trap that we have
for a court house on my farm, to keep
the county records in and to tran act
the county business in.
And don't believe that there is any
tax payer in the county that would
want the old trap that we have for a
court house on his property for them
TO transact the county business in.
tuiuh eudI VIC p'oPosi''ou 'h"' WV
county commissi oners propose is the
best and the most economical way that
we can secure to have a court house.
The commissioners say they will build
and equip court house for 100000
and believe they can do 1t, according
to the plans or proposition that they
have now.
If the old trap that we have should
burn down it would cost the county
$75, 900 or $1,000 to get court house
aud perhaps we would have to bont
the county to get the money to built
with. I for one don't want any more
county bonds. We had $4,000 raj
road bonds and paid over asS,000 in in
terest besides the principal, so let III
build court house without bonds.
II we bond the county for $50 900 o
500, 600 we are liable to have to pa!
that much in interest, besides tn
principal. Don't kick Red Cloud q
any thing else. The proposition is tn
best that we can possibly get to secur
court house. Now this is the tim
|, for every tax payer to do his duty an
go to the polls and vote for tn
proposition.
II Yours truly,
II FEE PAYNE.
