FULLY EXPLAINED
' The following statement In exnln
nation of why Hertford i-ltlsens nro
asked to vote J&d.Ouo In honila for
(he city hull-court houiie measure Is
given out hy the chumher of com
merce committee In chume of the
matter:
The Inconvenience and disadvan
tages of having the county sent eo
far from the tenter of population and
business activity of the county are
rocuknlzed hy everyone and are too
obvious to require comment. Those
familiar with actual cnniiltlnns In the
present court house know that the
building is absolutely inaiieiiuate In
size and arrangement for the prea
ent bualneaa of the county, and haa
been for yeura: five of the county
departmenta are located outside the
court houae in rented quartera he
rauae of the inadequacy of the build
ing and those departmenta In the'
building for yeura have been so con-1
gentef! an to aerioiiHly hamper the
work being done there. The situa
tion la not only aerloua, but it la rl-!
dlculuua for the county to attempt j
auch circumstances. Thia ia manifest
from the declalon of the county Judge
and two cominiaaionera and . thut
more apace la Immediately needed,
und that in tho Intereat of good bual
neaa, good work and economy, It
all should he under one roof. They
therefore decided Home monthe ago,
aa a matter of abaolute necessity, to
add several additional office rooms ,
to the preaent building, and make i
certain other addltlona und lmprove-
menta, which would coat not leaa
than ICU.000. Thia will add floor
apace, but will not provide n change
In the preaent inconvenient and ar
chaic quartera. The court wna com
pelled to reach thla decision hy the
necessities of the Bltuatlon, rather
than by any feeling thut such ar
rangements would he permanently
satisfactory. Those fnmlllur with the
situation, - recognize that the court
la doing the best It can under the
preaent ctrcumatunces.
When the court announced Its
purpose.- certain organizations and
citizens both In Aahland und Medford
requeated the court to withhold ac
tual building operatlona until auch
citizens could Investigate the matter
and see If anything better could he
done, and not desiring to prevent the
people from a fair opportunity to
express their own views, and to sug
gest a different program, the court
conaented, provided prompt und real
action were taken. Tho citizens and
organizations after thorough conside
ration, devised the most businesslike,
simple and pinctlcul plan they could
work out, and submitted It to the
city council und chamber of com
merce of Medford, and to various
groups of Ashland; und when en
dorsed by those bodies, citizens of
both cities lilld the plan before tho
county court. The court then con
aented to a further delny until tho
people of Medford and tho county
could huvo an opportunity to vote,
on tho proposition. Tho proposed
plan Is aa fullows:
To remove the county seat to Med
ford, and use the money which
would have gone Into additions nt
Jacksonville as the nucleus for a
new and permanent court house nt
. Medford. ...
: When tho people of a counly vole
to remove a county sent to a new
location, the law requlrea that the
removal ho accomplished within one
year. No bonda can bo lsaued for
' court ' house building by n county.
Obviously a tax levy for such pur
poae could not bo made and collect
ed and a new building conatrucled
all within one yeur. Moreover, such
a levy would bo Impractical, and the
coat ahould be apt-end out over seve
ral years. Therefore, quarters for
temporary uae if the county aent he
removed, are absolutely essential.
Hence the proposition of Medford
thut It vote IGO.OVO In bonds at the
election next week, to be Issued only
If the people of the county vote to
remove the counly seat to Medford,
and In thai event the proceeds used
to construct a two-story concrete
.building approximately 1-3 larger
than the floor space of the present
court house, and lease It to tho
County for five years free of charge.
Also that the city dnnnte to the
couniy, a site, free, for the perma
nent court house when tho county
Is ready to build it; and further,
that the council be authorized to sell
the present clly hull derated in a
bualnesa section) and retire aa many
of the (60.000 of bonds aa possible
with (he proceeda, nnd tako over
the new building as its city hall
when tho county vum!es It. This
will give tho county court flvo yeura
In which to levy a moderate tax for
two or three years, and to use the
fund accumulated in the const ruc
tion of a now court house. The city
already owns various lots convenient
and sultablo for the temporary court
house nnd permunent rlty hull, sn
tilt' expenditure of further money
In purchasing tho land will not he
necessary. The ndvantageous loca
tion of the present city hull will
bring upwards of 125. 000 nt a sulc.
J It I apparent thul no other means
fit meeting the situation are avail
atile. Moreover, the committee has
InveWlgated the tux situation In both
the city and county and la satisfied
that the finuncea of both corpora
' lions are In such ahapo aa to warrant
tho Investment without aerluus bur
den to either.
In tho ovont 'tho people of tho
county voto to change the county
Beat, the location of the permanent
court house. Its size, arrangement nnd
cost will lie entirely In the hands of
the three county commissioners, and
as they nil are successful nnd con
servative men tho committee is satis,
fled that they will use every effort
to obtain a suitable building at as
moderate cost aa possible. It Is
llmated that (bo permanent court
I hnuso will not cost over
$200,000. which Qn lie spread over"
period or inree to live years at
small tax fjter annum, and the
building will be paid far in cush,
uh no Interest churucs to pay.
loreover, the tliO.OOO saved t
making the Improvements at Jack
sonville at this time will reduce the
actual coU approximately one-fourth.
The foregoing plan was decided
upon after many meetings and tho
most careful consideration, nnd after
consultation with business men,
