Mohave County miner., 1914-03-21

house. Mir. Lescher having been grant ed until that time to revise his plans to bring them within the scope of the appropriation. Should the plans and speci tications prove acceptable the board will again ask for binds for the erection of the building Meetings of the citizens and taxpayers of King man have been held for the purpose of looking Into the plans of other archi- tects to get at the real inside facts of building a structure of this kind and they will be laid before the board at thls meeting. The people desire the best building that can be had for the money and if they can inform the board in any way we take it that such information wlll be we'll received. The people and the board arc working for common purpose and it is to be hoped that som ething will be evolved that will conduce to the public welfare and benefit. Mohave county should have one of the best buildings of any of the counties of northern Arizona and every etfor, should be made in that direction. While we have never been satisfied with the effort to con- fine the expenditure for courthouse to 65, ,000$, We bow to the wish of the majority if we find that it is the wish n aynan1 hap thnt FDc the building, but in thls we are not convinced, as we know the people only want splendid building, even if it costs O,O00S, but they do want their moneys worth. The board has been under strain the past year trying to get plans that the courthouse could be built from, but it appears that they may be just as far away as when the Walker plans were resubmittsd.
 The new cemetery committee has been out this week looking over pos sible sites for graveyard. the old one being considered not only too small, badly located. Tine one place that has been agreed upon is in Wallapai val ley, about two and one half miles from town. While the place is we'll situat- ed and might be made beautiful, it is considered too far from town to re. ceive attention. A five mile trip to and from funeral will not appeal to many people and we cannot see how a cemetery in Wallapai valley will re- ceiye the approval of the people of the town. At the same time the need of new cemetery is apparent and we hope that some place can be decided upon within the next month or two. where water can be had to care for trees and shrubbery with which to beautify the place.
 E. F. Thompson is Com missioner of Immigration for Mohave county, and the appointment is a good one. If Mohave county has booster that boosts all the time that fellow is Ed. Thompson. Mir. Thompson has been a resident of Mohave county since 1882 and knows it's history, its resources and its necessities. The county has needed Commissioner of Inmigra- tion for long time and the board of supervisors as well as the people will realize the vast good that such an of flee can do in the way of informing the public of the good things in the way of mining, agriculture and horticul ture we have here.
