Graham county is going tc
submit $4,000 bond issue to
it's voters for the purpose OF
building a court house at the
new county seat at Stafford.
That will be going some for a
court house, provided all the
money is put in the building
instead of jobbing it out to a pet
ring as spoils, as is usually done
in such cases. Then a county
usually gets a building worth
about half what it is alleged to
have. cost the tax payers. 1t
will pay the people to keep an
eye on the building committee,
to see that their salaries do not
equal the cost of the court house.

COHEN IS GARDENER
At COUNTY BUILDING

Mike Cohen romped home first last
Tuesday in field of four entries
with the position of GARDENER at the
courthouse as the goal of the con-
testants. For thrilling climax the af-
fair rivalled modern stagecraft. With
Commissioners Mcdonald and Weber
on opposite sides of the fence, r. c..
North of McGill. the remaining mem
Der of the board, became the center
and focus of the political limelight.
Mr.. North was the dominant factor
in the selection of the overseer of the
county lawn. The successful appli-
cant had been defeated by Mr.. North
at the last general election for long
term commissioner. and the vote of
that member of the county board
was awaited with more than ordinary
interest. He broke the deadlock by
announcing Mr.. Cohen as his choice
for the political berth under con-
sideration.
After commenting on the fact that
Jerry Kent had rendered efficient
service last year as gardener, Mr.. Nc
Donald said that he couldn't see why
Cohen couldn't fill the assignment
satisfactory. He also remarked that
he was viewing the situation from a
humanitarian standpoint.
Commissioner Weber asserted that
Cohen was not competent to handle
the position in a satisfactory man.
1ner He said that he favored Kents
appointment because he had been
tried and was not found wanting.
North declared that he was willing
to give the pioneer resident an op-
portunity to make good. The final
score was complexioneo as follows:
Mcdonald and North. voting for
Cohen and Weber casting a ballot
for Kent.
The other applicants for gardener
were George F. Mezger of Ely, and
Matt Bassett of Spring valley.
