A SAVING TO
THE TAX PAYERS
The Decrease in Mileage Expenses to County
Seat Would Soon' Save the Expense
of Moving Records and Leave a
Neat Sum to the Credit of
, the axpayeas
Our Union friends, when the!
county seat question is before
the people presume to be great 1
friends of the tax payers and '
make the only issue against the
removal, the cost such remova:
would entail. . .
Now the county court comes
out with a public statement that
they will favor no proposition
whereby the oounly will be out
to exceed f 10 per year rental for
suitable buildings and jail, for
a term of fifteen years, neither
will they stand for any expense
connected with the removal ol
the records in excess of (200.
this puts the total expense of
removing the county records and
the use of a court house for. the
next fifteen years at $35
segregated as follows, $200 for
moving and fifteen years, rent
at $10 per annum, $150. There '
Bound Over

is not a single term of circuit
court but what this insignificant
amount would be saved to the
lax payers in milage paid
witnesses, trial and grand jury
men if La ; Grande was the
county seat.
Union has been the county
seat for the past 80 years and
the county is getting deeper and
deeper in debt all the time. Did
it ever oocar to you Mr. tax
payer that a long as it remains
there, it will always be , so.
Why!, beoause Union tries just
as hard to keep it indebt between
county seat fights as it tries to
make tbe people beleive in 0. se
of a change the debt will be
increased. . If the county was
out of , debt, what opposition
could there be offered to seep the
county seat away off to one
isolated side af the county.
