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,

There are no visible Joints to

if there be any salvage value, or if not build an adequate new build­

made by the city of Medford, for a five-year period and make the
necessary arrangements for the building of a permanent courthouse,
costing approximately $210,000 at some future time when the peo­
ple of Jackson County shall desire to erect a permanent court­
house.
.
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.

Jackson County in order that they may have the full view of the
situation in voting on the matter at the. November 2, election”
