SUE ORDERED USED Klamath Falls Court Decides to Build'on Donated Land. OLD QUARREL IS RENEWED Proposed Courthouse Location I Mile From Present Building In Junction May Be Invoked to Halt Work on Structure. KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Dee. 14. (Special.) Announcement has been mads by the County Court that the construction of a courthouse will be undertaken on the five-acre site do nated to the county for the purpose by the Klamath Development Company. It Is expected that the dictum of the court will result in a revival of the old fight over the Intended removal of the courthouse from the present site. This controversy began more than a rear ago. leading those favor ing the present alte and the centralis ing of the expanding city on the old Llnkville site, to start a newspaper of their own to carry on their fight Offer Includes Pre Heat. . The site offered includes free hot water for heating purposes for all time, but the fact that it la almost a mile east of the present courthouse shows the radical character of the contemplated change. The site and water were offered In 1910. but on June 10. 1S11. the owners decided to donate the site on condition that it be used for a courthouse to cost at least $200,000, to be built within five years. Opponents of this site tried to get the court to buy a city block just a block, away from the preesnt location. The court offered to accept this site nd use It If given to the county gratis. but the advocates did not take up this proposition. There Is now In the courthouse fund 357.01. which, whert the road funds were exhausted, the County Court de sired to use for highway Improve ments, but had legal advice that this transportation was not proper. So the courthouse plans are being drawn and the court says that "conditions pre vailing in the present' courthouse, the overcrowded condition and the unsani tary, unsafe and disreputable condi tion of the county Jail, and the exi gencies of the case merit the construc tion of a new courthouse and Jail with the least possible delay." Opposition In Expected. The court hopes to commence active operations at an early date, and says It realises that those not In sympathy with the policy may, perhaps, oppose by Injunction or otherwise. The present site was determined on for courthouse purposes when the town was Llnkville, Since then the town's successor. Klamath Falls, has grown to several times the original sire of Llnkville. and there Is a consequent dispute aa to whether the slxe of the county seat grows and Increases along with ttie city. The old clement con tends that only the present site may be used for courthouse purposes. When the present site Is given up It will probably be used for a park or sold and the proceeds used to pay part of the cost of .the new courthouse. With the coming of the Southern Pacific Railroad, which takes Its course past the easterly side of town, the de velopment has been toward that sec tion, with notable growth in a spot which Is nearly two miles from the old busy center of Llnkville.
