EXTRAVAGANZA CONTEM-
PLATED

In spite of the fact that only year
or so ago the county purchased adj
ditional property at Wenatchee with
the avowed intention of using it as an
addition to the present court house
grounds when a new building was
erected, it now appears that for
months the county board has figured
with certain county seat boosters and
are about to buy an entirely new site
foi the county buildings at an enor-
nous outlay of public funds. Perhaps
this is another case where the World
opposes the advancement of Wenat-
chez at the expense of other commun-
tiles.
We believe that if the people ont :
side Wenatchee were considered and
their judgment sought, they would IA
vor building on the present court
house site. 1t is convenient for the
travelling public, reaching the county
seat either by train or auto, and as it
is 175X260 feet in size, ought to be
large enough to accommodate a struc-
ture commodious to answer all county
needs for fifty years.
But certain interests in Wenatchep
probably want the county to furnish
a large part of the cost of a greet
edifice to crown her hills-and who
will thank anyone for opposing an ex-
travagant spending of county funds
for such a purpose?
''Boost and the world boosts with
you;
''Knock and you knock alone"
And Wenatchee will probably ban
quet our county board good men that
they are) and have things her own
way.
