Klamath to Fix
County Court House
Klamath Falls, Or Dec 8. That
architects from outside points are ex
pected te make an estimate on the cost
of completing the new courthouse here
and repairing the damage already done
due to Its neglect from standing uncom
pleted, and that In the event of the
figure being considered excessive, fur
ther procedure will be submitted to
vote of the people. Is the Information
given by a county commissioner. ,
It is believed that the Ideas of the
different architects will vary on the
estimated completion of this building,
on which the taxpayers of Klamath
county have already expended nearly
8200.000 ; so it has been decided that
each commissioner should name an
architect to submit figures.
One of the architects. E. E. McClaran
of Portland, is already on the ground,
and has made an examination of the
bulldlnC ..

. The commissioners plan to put gravel
on. the roads in many places where the
repairs are most needed. The sum of
SU.000 Is now declared to. be la the
treasury for this work, and the usual
.amount of 180.000 wlO probably be set
aside In the coming budget for road
work. No statement has been mads as
to what roads wlll.be repaired first.
