IL. NJ. TRAFTON EXPLAINS HIS
POSITION ON COURT HOUSE

Editor Malta Enterprise:
AS 1t seems we are unfortunately
10 have court house location war
thrust upon our little town, a few
words from me as to the facts in,
The case may not come amiss at this
.irle.
10 begin with, l deplore this agi-
tation. and Think the men who
started it were i'll advised, and have
not the good Of their town at heart
20 attempt to line up this entire COM
nunity in factional fight and stir
up all the i'll will and bitterness that
goes with such fight is not the
best way to build up our little town,
and certainly will do more harm
and injury than all the Commercial
clubs in christendom can ever make
right. When the court house loca-
ton was talked of, l had sixteen
lots in Block seven, that were Of
fered the commissioners by me for
$4,000 Other parties owned the re-
manning four lots in this block. and
these were offered at $4,000, making
the total cost of the block to the
taxpayers OF Phillips county $4,000.
Al the time we were getting sign
CFs lo1 the petition to form our new
county, the promise was made by
some interested parties, among them
Mf. u. y. Phillips, that if county di-
| VISION went through land Malta was
the county seat, that a suitable block
10Y court house would be furnished
by the the citizens of Malta and free
or cost TO the taxpayers. SO when
the $4,000 site was offered the COM
mlssloners they began to hear about
the free site promise, for the sixteen
lots in block seven. I had made a
deed conveying them to Phillips
county, and the deed was held for
some three months awaiting their ac-
ton. They did not wish to spend
the county money for this purpose,
and took no action. Then as no one
else offered to do anything, l offered
them the whole of block nine for
court house without one cent of cost,
and this offer they accepted and
there was no objection to their ac-
tion at the time at least. l never
heard of any.
Now as to the location of block
nine. 1t is just two blocks west OF
book seven, altogether three and
one-half blocks from the postoftice,
and four blocks from the First State
Bank and Great Northern hotel. 1t
IS as central as the court house at
Gl21soW or Chinook and more CEN
tai than the court house at Hayre.
1T is fine, level land, and can be
made into beautiful grounds. 1t is
generous in size, being a full block
containing p lots, and not six-lot
proposition.
The kind of court house I have
y mind for Phillips county to build
would look pretty sick On six lots.
Let the hackers Of block seven for
court house, offer what offer free
OF cost, that is the entire of block
seven as I offered the entire of block
nine. Then | will use all my efforts
o have the court house erected on
block seven, though to my notion it
is not as suitable a location as block
nine
Application has been made to the
city engineer for water and sewer
age to connect block nine with the
city system, SO block nine, YOU
might say, is right in the heart OF
he city.
