M0USSEAU DENIES
NEW COURTHOUSE
T0COST 100000
Also Declares $4,000
Fund Is Available
on Debt
Sale of Present Site
Will Add Tidy Sum,
Optimistic

Statements emanating from the
northern end oil the valley that the
new court house viii in all proba-
bilitv cost over S400,0C0, are dis
counted by Calvin G.. Mousseau,
county clerk, who points out that
the total amount of the ! | contracts
let Monday by the board of super
visors, is $2S4,971.75. TO this must
be added the architect s fee, of
practically $4,000, or six per cent
Of the amount of the cost of con
struction, making $302,971.75.
The contract for carpentry which
has not yet been let, 1T is believed
can be obtained for much less than
the only bid received, which was
S49,0UU. 4 conservative estimate
places the value of this contract
nearer to $4,000. Adding this sum
to the above total, makes $337,97l,
disregarding the odd rs cents.
$4,000 Available
Mr.. MOusseau calls attention to
the fact that special tax levied
for a sinking fund for now court
house, in 1919, produced approx
mately $4,000. This money was
later turned into the county gener-
al fund, and the tax, which would
have produced practically the same
am0unt in 1920, was not levied that
year, nor has 1t been levied since.
l'hc $4,000 was only loaned to the
general fund and can be called back
for its original purpose, and the
county clerk states that the 1920
tax cun also be levied, making Il
total of $4,000 that may be applied
toward the amount needed to com.
plete the courthouse. Subtracting
the 1921 in excess of the bond
issue, from $4,000 leaves n balance
of $4,000. which can take care of
any surplus charge there may be
i nthe carpentry contract taken as
$4,000 in these calculations, and
still have tidy sum left over for
furnishing the court house.
Present Site Not Included
These figures do not take into
consideration the fact that the pres
cnt courthouse property can be
sold for good figure, and though
when everything is figured, the new
courthouse including equipment,
may cost near to 100000, there will
be enough money to meet it with
out calling for any additional bond
issues. Much of the equipment now
used in the courthouse, can be re-
tanned in the new building, and this
presents an added saving to the
county.
Mr.. Mousseau is inclined to take
an optimistic view of the situation
and sees no need for alarm regard
ing any extra heavy expenditures
in building the courthouse.

Congress will be too busy this

The whole matter is to be referred
