To all of which I hereby certi fy, GERTRUDE BIEDB, COUNTY SEAT The Jacksonville Committee has made the statement that the County Court has not been unanimous in their opinions with re gard to proposed new building and location of same. Here is the statement SIGNED BY ALL MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY COURT. “To the voters of Jackson County: , “We have made a very careful study as to the present courthouse which was built in 1883, over 43 years ago, AND HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT WE WILL NOT BUILD ANY SEPAR ATE BUILDINGS, but that the situation demands that we either fire-proof and otherwise modernize the preseht courthouse if that be feasible, and make the necessary additions to the present stme- . tur sufficient to adequately house the county officials, or if it is not feasible to salvage the present courthouse THEN WE MUST BUILD AN ENTIRELY NEW PERMANENT FIRE - PROOF COURT- HOUSE ADEQUATE TO HOUSF THEM. “In addition to donating a site to Jackson County for a perman ent courthouse* whenever in the future the people of Jackson Coun ty shall desire to erect a permanent courthouse in said city, THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF MEDFORD HAVE VOTED AND THE COUNCIL HAS AGREED TO BUILD A THREE-STORY CONCRETE CITY HALL, containing approximately one-third more floor space than the present Grants Pass courthouse and more than twice the space of the present Jackson County courthouse AND TO LEASE IT TO US FREE OF COST FOR FIVE YEARS. "We are told by reliable builders that the present courthouse has very little value for reconstruction purposes. “Whether it has any salvage value can only be determined by an experienced architect after going thoroughly into the matter. But he salvage value of the old structure cannot be great. "W e a n therefore'faced with two propositions, one to pro vide adeqtSfe permanent quarters at the present location at Jacksonville, the other to accept from Medford the free use of the new City Hall for five years. “In other words, shall the county build onto the present structure, ALLPAPER, tint! ng,paint or the new sanded-effect can be used equally welL There are no visible Joints to mar the surface. The sheets Join perfectly, leaving a solid, one- piece wall. W Use this new w all board for your finest interiors. Y o u r lumber dealer sells It. SCHUMACHER WALL BOARD CORP. Los A n ssit!

We realize that Medford is more centrally located, as regards the population of the county and that the LOCATION OF THE COUNTY SEAT IN MEDFORD WOULD MEAN A CONSIDER ABLE SAVING TO THE TAXPAYERS O F T H E COUNTY EVERY YEAR. This saving would come from the cutting down of travel and time of the sheriff in s rvifig all papers, as well as extra time and travel of other county officials, the mileage of witnesses and jurors, the time and expense of recording papers and paying taxes. . - “The above statement of facts is presented to the voters of Jackson County in order that they may have the full view of the situation in voting on the matter at the.
