Advocates Of New
Court House Present
More Arguments
Say Project Would Provide Labor
Amounting to Approximately $25,oo0
Present Buildings Fire Hazard.

President Roosevelt is broadcastins
both by word of mouth and the press
of the nation that communities must
take upon themselves more of the re-
lief burden. The time has come to stop
relying on the federal government for
relief, states the President.
That is one of the reasons why men
who are backing the proposed new
court house for Lincoln county claim
this is an opportune time for building
it. The project would provide quite a
large sum of money to be expended in
labor, and to that extent would help
to lessen the relief burden.
$4,000 for Labor
The proposed court house would cost
$4,000, if the voters authorize its con-
struction. Contractors state the labor
bill on such building would be about
third of the total cost, or $4,000 90.
That would provide quite a number of
days work for a crew Of men, in addi-
ton to helping create market for
the materials going into the building.
Contractor Pival, who is just now fin
ishing the new city hall in Libby, states
the labor bill was about a third of its
total cost 1t is reasonable to figure the
same ratio would hold good in the
building Of the court house,
S22,5OO as q Gift.
There seems to be little misunder-
standing regarding a grant from the
government for such buildings under
the Public Works administration. Under
the PWA, the federal government pre-
sents as a gift 80 per cent of the total
cost of all labor and materials going
into such buildings. That can not be
determined exactly until such build
ing is completed but as labor and ma
terials cover practically all the cost OF
a building, it is reasonable to figure
that 30 per cent of s75.00O-the cost
of the proposed court house--would be
a gift to Lincoln county, or the sum
of S22,500 That would be an outright
gift from the government and would
not have to be repaid. In other words
$4,000 court house could be obtained
for the expenditure, by the county, Of
$50, 500.
These are some Of the argument:
advanced by the citizens who believe
now is most advantageous time fol
the building of new court house.
Says Tax Would Be Small.
Here is an actual incident that oc-
Cured in Libby this week. A taxpayer
approached another man and said
What do you think of this court house
proposition? Are you going to vote fol
it?n
Before I reach a conclusion on an,
such matter / always figure what i
will cost me-" replied the man wht
was questioned so let's figure it on
on that basis with you Your home
property. / should Judge, is assessed a
about $1,000. If my figures are correct
you would then be taxed on basis 0
5000. A one mill levy will take care o
the cost of the court house, over /;
period of 20 years. A one mill levy or
your taxable Valuations 00-wouls
be SO cents year That is what thu
proposal would cost you"
"But why am | not taxed on tn,
$4,000" the man then asked
"You are not taxed on $4,000 for thi
reason" replied the other citizen

cation law under which property

BONNERs FERRY VS.. LIBBY.

/ BONNERS FERRY VS.. LIBBY.
When the two teams came together
at Bonners last Friday they seemed L
be quite equally matched in the line
but Bonners back-field slightly out
weighed the Terriers.
First quarter-Libby kicked to Bon
ners Ferry but Bonners was stopped
before the ball carrier could get started
They lost the oval on downs and Libby
took the ball. The boys couldn't seem
to advance so they punted. Boomers re-
trieved the ball and on a run around
send scored touchdown
Bonners kicked off to the Terriers
and they advanced the ball down the
field and punted The Bonners man
fumbled the ball and Libby recovered
1t but lost it Immediately on a tumble
Bonners put it over for another touch
down. This quarter ended II to 0.
Second quarter-B onners again
kicked off to Libby but the Terriers
couldn't break through the Badgers de-
Tense. Boomers took the ball after Libby
lost 1t on downs and after repeated
gains placed another touchdown to their
credit. In the latter part of this quarter
they completed two more touchdowns.
Bonners kicked to Libby and the Ter
riers, determined to advance put the
pig-skin over for a touchdown to end
the half rs to 7.
Third quarter-In this quarter the
high spots of the game appeared A
Bonners man broke loose twice for
touchdowns. The runs were approx
mately SIS yards each In the last of this
quarter Boomers had the ball on our
three yard line.
Fourth quarter-Bonners put the ball
over for another touchdown, and then
the ball passed up and down the field
until the whistle blew and the game
ended 81 to 7.
