Newspaper Page Textm THE SUXDAT OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JULY 12, 190S. MAY UNO COUNTY New Courthouse Is Projected for Multnomah. COST TO EXCEED $500,000 Commissioners Discuss Means of Raising Funds for Building Bad ly Needed, as Present Struc ture Has Been Outgrown. In order that a new courthouse. cost In from $500,000 to $750,000, may be erected, without the Burdens of the cost coming- too sharply on the taxpayers, the County Commissioners have been dis cussing the plan of asking the next Leg islature to authorize the bonding of Multnomah County In the sum required, the bonds -to be redeemed at intervals up to eight or ten years. . . As the law now stands, the Commis sioners would have to make alt their levy in two years, and it is their bclic-f that the cost of a new courthouse would be a heavy burden to be imposed In only two levies. The need of a new court house is shown by the facts that the biillding is full, nearly every official In It is clamoring for more room, and at least four of the county officials have had to see!-: quarters elsewhere, for which the county pays rent. The Assessor. Treasurer and School Superintendent are in rented offices at the City Hall, while the District Attorney occupies offices in the Chamber of Com merce, for which the county pays rent. The reason that these officials are not at the Courthouse is that there is no room for them there. In addition, the county is paying rent for the courtrooms of the Justices of the Feace and consta ble. The grand Jury, sessions of which will begin in September and contlnu'e every month, has.no place either to meet In or to place the witnesses who will be called before it. Though there has been an insistent de mand on the pait of the county officials for a new building- large enough for the county's needs, there has been little or nothing said by the taxpayers generally and the Commissioners are anxknis for expressions of opinion from the tax payers on the question of a new Court house. There are four departments of the Cir cuit Court in which jury trials are held, but only two rooms in which the juries can deliberate on their verdicts. When more than two juries are out at the same time, as happens every month, the result Is discomfort to the juries, loss of time to the courts, and dangerous op portunity for interested parties to use im proper influence with the juries.

Also, it is well to keep tab on furniture houses who show special cuts of 50 per cent or more. If the goods were not marked up 100 per cent or more to start with, it is certain that they could not be cut half in two and then some as is often the case.
