MORE: DOPE ON
NEW COURT HOUSE

Columbus Reporter: In CONVEX
sat1on with several farmer friends
who have called at this Office with
in the past few days. and since
the publication Of the article from
the Powers Lake Echo, we have
| been asked as to the figures ap-
pearing in that report regarding
the extra tax on the bonds for the
erection of new court house ana
jail, they seeming to think that the
taxes on the different farms will
be more than so cents to $1.0o, as
the article stated. Here is what
the Echo said:
"The proposition is to issue
bonds in the amount Of seventy
five thousand dollars. bearing i'll
terest at four per cent. to run
twenty years. This interest OF
100000 payable annually to-
gether with q sinking fund with
which to take up the bonds at ma
turity amounting to about $4,000
per year. provided there were no
saving rents, repairs and expenses
now necessary to be provided for.
and which should reduce this
amount by SO much that the in
crease in taxes on the average
farm would be from so cents to
one dollar annually above what
taxes will be should we continue
doing business in the present build
ing, and at the end o. twenty
years the county. will own both
buildings and site, and taxes will
be lower than at present"
According to the present yalua-
tion of land in this county and the
amount of, bonds to be issued it
is figured that the tax will amount
to from $3.50 to $500 per quar-
ter according to the valuation, but,
as stated by the Echo, taking the
average farm and the big saving on
present rentals and the extra ex-
penses on account OF inadequate
that will be necessary on the old
building, the report as published
is about correct, -. : '1s ~. ~: -
