BEADLE COUNTY TO VOTE ON
COURT HOUSE PROPOSITION

Huron, S. D.. June 3.-On June 10
the voters of Beadle county will be
given an opportunity to vote on the
proposed issue Of $3.50, 900 of bonds for
the erection of a new court house and
a site. The present court house stands
on a block of ground three blocks from
the center of the business area, and
was given to the county by the West
ern Town Lot Company for the sole
purpose of a court house, and a rever-
sionary clause provided for its return
to the company, If abandoned for this
purpose.
The citizens of Huron two years ago
authorized the erection Of a new
municipal building, but postponed the
undertaking on account of the war.
Many citizens believed 1t would be ad-
vantageous to all concerned If the two
buildings could be combined, and the
site proposed is in the business dis
trict. Many arguments were advanced
in favor of the combined building, and
the county commissioners announced
their acquiescence, provided the West
ern Town Lot Company would give the
county a title in fee. This not
been done, and the commissioners on
the goth of May withdrew their con-
sent to a change of site by revolving
their former action. The vote. there
fore, will be on the issuance OF bonds
for the building alone, for the site is
already in hand. IL .. IT,
