is the disadvantage of having the of
fees scattered and separated, the main
part of them nearly a half a mile
from the business center of town
causing a waste of time travelling tt
and from for the general public anC
county employees. Cold buildings
reduce the efficiency of clerks and
cannot fail to result in more helI
and a heavier pay roll.
A comparison between the above
total cost and the cost of renting and
maintaining offices at Wolf Point is
something worth the attention of the
voter and the tax payer.
The Wolf Point Side
If the county seat is voted to Wolf
Point, here is the way she proposes
to take care of the county's require
ments for quarters.
One and a half blocks south of the
main business thoroughfare of Wolf
Point, on Second Avenue, is the build
ing known as the Coliseum. 1t is a
one-story frame structure, we'll built
and well finished of first class mater
ial, with special attention to warmth
and strength. 1t has a beautiful hard
maple floor, it is plastered and
thoroughly painted. The wide and
deep vestibuled entrance faces west.
At either side of the entrance are
rest or dressing rooms with toilets
connected-a feature of great con-
v~enience to men or women frequent
ing the buildings. Steam heat is
furnished from a modern economical
plant twice the capacity of the build
ing. Ample radiation extends to all
parts of the building by a system
that insures even heat, and heat that
can be controlled and confined to any
part of the building desired.
Points of Economy
This building, which was built only
three years ago, is so by 140 feet in
size, in one great room, free from OBJ
structions. 1t affords ample space
for all the offices and a court room,
and can be planned, partitioned and
fitted into an exceedingly convenient
and comfortable court house. A one
story building is the easiest and
cheapest to heat. The arrangement
would a v the time of employees and
those having business with the county.
Nearby ground offers q suitable jail
site FREE OF COST.
The location of the building is
much in its favor-2h blocks from
the principal hotels and the same dis
lance from the post office. The open
site affords light, quiet and minimum
danger of fire. AS a court house 1T
would serve the county acceptably
for many years and make the con-
struction of a costly court house UNI
necessary. After the farmers and
businessmen arrive on Easier street
and have comfortable homes will be
plenty of time to consider a fine
county building.
inexpensive and Complete
Wolf Point, through its campaign
committee, has secured from Mrs. o..
M. Rogers, the owner of the above
described building, a legal and bind
ing agreement to lease it to the coun-
ty for a term of years at the decid-
eddy moderate rental of S165 per
month. Amy unprecedented person,
competent to judge will agree that
$165 per month is low rent for a
building this class and size.
Moved and Ready-Free
individuals of the city themselves,
pledge to make this building ready
to occupy by building in such parti-
tons and fittings as are required at
no expense to the county. A large
fund for this purpose being already
collected.
BY a signed and acknowledged
25 businessmen of Wolf Point
bind themselves to transport to this
city free of charge the records and
court house and Jail fixtures, in the
event of Wolf Point being made the
set.
