Facts and Figures.
Is it advisable to'niovo the conn
ty scut 5 miles
Get down to figiues and sou.
The piesont court house is a disgrace
to any civil zed community.
The poorest county in any state in
Sthc Union would irit Mibmit to
Njuch an excuse for a couit house.
It is a well kuown fact that wo will
he compelled to have a now couit
house in a veiy few yens.
the supervisois oider a new
one at the piesent location; it will
cost tho county 20,000. Our taxes
v,ill be S!l.(5 to 4 00.
Kvery taxpayer in tho county will
bu obliged to pay additional taxes,
then the county will ho put to tho
expense of planting new trees every
two yoais as evciy ncwshoiifl
thinks he can got tiees to grow
and thcienever is any shade about
the place after all. And to get
down to the leal point at issue,
the com t house is loe.ited where
thoro is a gang of men who, like
vulturos hoveling about tho victim
waiting for a chance to pounce up-
i, upon it and sup its life blood,
'hover about the count) scat and
vratch'overy oppoitunity to draw
from tho count)', by iair means or
foul tho hard earned taxes which
the people pay into the county's
coffers.
It is a well known fact that tho
Guaidian lowcied tho county printing
about 81700 last year and about
1000 this, year. It is also a fact
that the county paid one of
merchant $1000 last
year for maintaining a quarantine
igainst small pox in San Jose, and
it is a question whether theio was
any small pox there or not. It is
a fact also that the jail facilities
aie inadequate, as a Mexacan boy
was taken there from Safford last
winter and was put in a cell with a
woman and man. It is high time
that our county is providing
lato apaitiiients for its male and fe
male piisoners.
Tho people of Safford offer to
put up a $12000 court house, which
would cost at least $30000 to build
in Solomonville. They offer a site
for tho building which can bo made
into a beautiful paik, wheio it will
be a pleasure to go. They olfer a
couit house and groundt which
will be the pride of our county,
and which will he worthy of our
tointory. This is ollered free to
tho county of Giaham. It now
mains to bo seen whether or not
her citizens will accept the gift.
