Complete Vote In Linn Given New Courthouse Proposal Sweeps to Victory in Bitter Election ALBANY During the past several weeks, neighbors and friends in Linn county have greeted each other, : when they met, not with the usual, "how are you?" or- how are your i crops?" but "how do you standi on the courthouse question?" or "do you think the county will ! erect a new courthouse?" But Tuesday the question one heard most frequently was "how does the official count on the court house' stand?" For Linn county voters turned out to voteLst the special election called to decide ' if the $154,000 . surplus fund of the County treasury were to' be used toward the erection of a new courthouse, or to remain to be assimilated into - other funds. The people wanted the court house and the measure carried ' by 996 votes. In favor of the -project 3,965 votes were cast while 2,969 people in the county voted no. ' Lebanon led in the . fight ' against, the using fit the surplus funds, with practically all the towns in that vicinity siding in. At times the fight between the proponents for the new court house and those against it has waxed strong and bitter words were said by each side. The main Issue as far as. Lebanon was concerned, was apparently in the belief that if the, present building- plan could be staved off, a gift from the federal gov ernment which is needed to. aid in the building program, would not be forthcoming later on, and in that case Lebanon could at t.Tnot to have the county seat changed from Albany to that city. Of the 54 precincts in the county, 31 were -against the building program and 23 for it. Included in the 23 were the nine Albany precincts, and- Sunrise, adjacent to Albany; Calanooia. North and South Harrisburg, ' Knox Butte, Mill City, Orleans, Peoria, Price, Rock Creek. San tlam, Shedd, Syracuse and Tan- . gent. In the three Lebanon precincts 44 voted yes to 772 against the Clan, while In the nine Albany precincts. 77 voted" no to 2,290 who voted yes. The four Browns ville precincts voted almost two to one against the measure. Hal sey was another town . which voted -the question" down, with SO votes for to 93 against. The proposal is said . to have origin ated la Halsey to use the surplus funds for this purpose, a prom inent resident of that city being one of the first to make the pronositlon. Crowfoot, the home precinct of Senator Cortis D. Stringer, was solidly against the building plan, only two votes ' bein? cast In favor to 90 alnst. A few days ago Senator Stringer an nounced that he was not taking side tn the plan but was re . mr'nlng neutral. - The official count on the ques tion by precincts follows: .
