Ed Wilber, the pioneer ranch and
cattleman Of Danforth park, was one
Of the heavy taxpayers who came In
Tuesday, to urge the county commits
sioners to take the necessary steps
looking to the erection Of county
building. As one one Of the original
locators Of the townsite of Meeker,
Ed, with others In that pioneer band,
donated the park to the people of
Meeker who In turn donated half of
the same to Rio Blanco county for
public purposes. Having helped at
the start of things, Ed says he now
wants to contribute his share in the
construction of q suitable county
building. The proper spirit.

A NEW COUNTY BUILDING
The Initial Steps Taken in the Move.
ment to Erect 4 New County
Building for Rio Blanco

For some time past the question OF
erecting new county building has
been more or less discussed. With .
view to bringing the matter to .
proper starting point, q number OF
our heaviest taxpayers called on the
County Commissioners last Tuesday
and urged the Board to take the
initial steps toward the project In
view. This will be done In the near
future, when the county authorities
will invite architects and contractors
to submit plans and probable cost OF
. building suitable to the needs Of
this county.
We believe the move Ia one In the
right direction, as 1t 10 very we'll
known that the present county build
ing is not only unsuitable for its pur-
poses, but is expensive to keep In re-
pair, and offers no protection against
fire. Our valuable county records
should be housed In . safe building.
BY getting q start In the matter
now, the commissioners and tax
payers will have ample time to study
the project and look into all necessa-
ry details.
II question Is put up to . vote Of
the people coming fall, and favorabiy
acted on 1t would be we'll on In next
summer before building operations
could commence. BY that time ma
terial and labor will be much lower
than at present-a desirable con-
sideration.
A late survey of the county finances
shows that the necessary bonds could
be carried without any increase in
taxation.
So far all taxpayers interviewed on
the matter are in favor Of . new
county building, and none opposed.
