COUNTY SEAT
REMOVAL
The Jacksonville Committee have made ihe statement that the County Court has
not been unanimous in their opinions with regard to proposed new building and loca­
tion 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
separate buildings, but that the situation demands that we either fire-proof and other­
wise modernize the present courthouse if that be feasible, and make the necessaiy ad­
ditions to the present structure sufficient t ) adequately house the county officials, or
if it is not feasible to salvage the present co irthouse THEN WE MUST BUILD AN EN­
TIRELY NEW PERMANENT FIRE-PROOF COURTHOUSE A D E Q U A T E TO
HOUSE THEM.

“In addition to donating a site to Jackson County for a permanent courthouse,
whenever in the future the people of Jacks >n County shall desire to erect a permanent
courthouse in said city, THE PEOPLE 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.

“We are therefore faced with two propositions, one to provide adequate perman­
ent 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, if there be any
salvage
value, or if not build an adequate new building in Jacksonville, or shall the

“We realize that Medford is more centrally located, as regards the population of
the count yand that the LOCATION OF THE COUNTY SEAT IN MEDFORD WOULD
MEAN A CONSIDERABLE SAVING TO THE TAXPAYERS OF THE COUNTY
I EVERY YEAR. This saving would come from the cutting down of the travel and time
of the sheriff in serving all papers, ?.s well as extra time and travel of other county offi­
cials, 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 or­
der that they may have the full view of the situation in voting on the matter at the
November 2, election.”
JACKSON COUNTY COURT,
(Signed)
W. J. HARTZELL, County Judge.
VICTOR BURSELL, County Com.
GEO. ALFORD, County Com.
The unanimous opinion of the County Court as printed above should settle any
doubt as to their position.

This issue should be decided by the voters on its merits and the facts.
