To The Editor . .
\
As I haven’t a?en any letters
or heard any unfavorable com
ment on the pirn of moving the
Curry County Courthouse into
the outgrown, comparatively
new. Gold Beach grade school
building, it looks like the deal
is not unpopular.
I believe there are in the
building eleven t i l ) rooms, ap
proximately 24 x 40 feet, one is
about 24 x 50, and an auditorium
90 x 24, toilet area about 24 x 24
adequate halls, and a basement
about 30 x 50 feet.
Besides, the property fronts
about 350 feet on Highway 101,
is deep enough to have room for
necessary vault space, all fore
seeable parking, and probably a
jail.
I understand there is an ele
ment quaking as to what will
happen to public structures if
the economy of the county was
to take a dip. Going along with
this idea, we sure wouldn’t want
to be stuck with paying off the
indebtedness of a big courthouse
or paying too much to support it
any more than the Gold Beach
taxpayers would (or could)
stand for supporting two sep
arate grade schools plus paying
their share on a new courthouse.

area. We are indebted to August
dePhillips for bringing it to our
attention. The writer, Phil Dorn-
er, automobile editor of the
TIMES, tells especially of the
redwoods and the fishing in the
Smith River. Unfortunately, the
map they used, ends the:e but
probably a few of the readers
who are energetic will, at the
very least, cross the state line,
even if only to say they have
been in Brookings.
