BENTON BONDS
ARE HELD INVALID


OLYMPIA, WASH, Sept. 18.-An-
other chapter in the history OF the
fight over the location of the county
seat of Benton county and the effort
to anchor it by erecting new court
house at Prosser was aired in the
supreme court today when the court
handed down decision reversing
the Benton county superior court
and holding that the proposed bond
issue of $125,000 is invalid because
of the methods of secrecy surround
ing the whole transaction.
"The need of new courthouse
may be admitted, but that fact does
not justify the methods employed
to obtain one" says the court.
In lengthy opinion the court
rehearses the history of the move
nent and touches upon, although on
ly lightly, the possible political mo-
lives that prompted the action of
! The commissioners and brought be-
fore the court the case under the
title of H. A. Bier, appellant, against
James B. Clements and others, COM
nissioners of Benton county.
Decided by Two Commissioners.
1t appears that at the meeting of
The commissioners on November II,
1916, F. L. Nash went home before
a formal adjournment was taken.
Then the other two are alleged, both
having been beaten at the recent e.
lection, to have decided to float the
bonds for building the courthouse.
They went to Pasco later and then to
Spokane, where they consulted at
torneys relative to the sale of the
bonds. AT the next meeting, on De-
cember 4, the carefully prepared
plans were put into operation, so
ar as Benton county being consid-
cred there having been mo leak" as
he decision says.
Nash alone opposed the sale of
the bonds, which were sold at 51a
per cent interest. The court says
that Benton county had a valuation
If $12,000,000, was out of debt, on
a cash basis and the testimony
that the bonds could have been
marketed at not to exceed Az per
cent should be believed.
Court Sees Dad Faith"
The court says that where COM
nissioners exercise their best discre-
ion, it is not the policy to disturb
he findings, but that in this instance
the record is rocking with bad
'aith."
The court further says:
"By jugglery and secretive proceed
IRE bond issue was to be foisted
Upon the taxpayers of Benton coun-
! ty without the previous knowledge
Of any save the first active partici-
pants; courthouse is to be built
without prior determination of plans
estimate of cost, procurement OF
site or deliberation or discussion of
The matter on the part of the board
Or indulgence in any of those mat
ters that usually precede an under
taking of this character"
The decision says that the two
commissioners interested deliberate
ly kept others who were entitled to
knowledge of what was going on
from learning of the plans.
The court does not touch upon
| the question of whether one COM
missioner who was named to fill
vacancy, but whose successor had
been elected but not qualified, was
in fact a commissioner, saying that
in all probability he was a commits
sioncr de facto if not de jure, or
whether the meeting on that date
was legal. The case is reversed.
