The Pine City Committee have issued special circu-
lar evidently for in the south end of the county, in
which they the Hnckey County Seat Committee
of attempting to msead We quote from the circular
Take notice that they absolutely msrepresenng and
deceivng the voters.
This does not sound we'll coming from the Pine City
Committee who have contradcted their own statements
number of times during this campaign and who
stantly changing their position.
Let us cite few instances: First they said need
court house cost 100000. Now they say let
patch up the old one.
The architect employed by the county told them it
would cost $4,000 make the necessary repairs and they
paid this architect 1913 for this advice This did suit
the Pine City Committee they turned architects them
selves and told that pretty good job could be done for
$4,000 now they think they shave this little but
remember:
No competent architect has ever said that
necessary repairs could be made for less than
$4,000 and no competent architect has ever
advised that it would be economy to spend
cent on the old building.
The Pine City Committee in their first letter said it
would $265,OO move the county seat and build
court house at IIinckey. Now they are quoting
Hnckeys figures at $4,000 for the building, They
said the cost Of two elections would be $l5O00 but this
absurd that it was dropped.
To show the of the old building they even figured
the interest the bond but this foolish to have
any effect except to show how hard up they for
guments.
$500 If they knew this why did the county board en-
poy an architect and pay him $68 to tell them would
Why do they tell you that they employed another
competent builder to make estimates who told them it
would not pay to spend money the old building at all?
We would rather believe competent architect or
builder in this matter than interested citizen OF Pine
City.
Along the same lines with other absurd statements the
Pine City Committee say it will cost as much to move
the records to Hncky and protect the same as the re9r,
the old building will cost, this amount they estimate ia
be $|8OO-hoW silly. We have doubt but that number
of would be glad to take the contract of moving the
records to Hnckey for around 800 and they are paving,
$45 month for night Waterman to protect the re lords
at Pine City and think we can get one as cbpaD At
Inckley.
We suppose the only way to answer nonsense is with
nonsense and may that they make ,p this
cost of $500 follows:
Actual cost of transporting records 8 1oo
Moving county officials at $500 each 2oOo
The balance is likely miscellaneous items of which tho s
Pine City Committee have unusually large supply for
padding purposes Our authority for saying would cost
$ooo to move county official is estimate recently made
by of them The voters of Pine County know it soma
times takes more than this to move county officer
Pine City est ates that Hinckey wants A division f
ire county no Is misrepresenting in this case Pine
City did try for division and proper reward will he maid
to anybydy who will prove that Hnckev ever ad,oco4
division. s
One Pine City Orator says unfortunately Hincklev
has railroads.

OR ONLY FOR PINE CITY?
