To the Tax Payers and Cltltens or
Klnmth Ceunty:
"There appeared In the Issue of Ihe
Evening Herald of Saturday, March
9th, a statement relative to Court
House matters purporting to speak'
for the County Court of Klamath
County, and signed by only two mem
bers of the Court, namely Marlon
Hanks, County Judge, and F. H. Mc
Cornack, County Commissioner. I
was requested to sign the said state
ment but did not and could not do
so.
Judge Hanks and Mr. McCornack
assume to speak for the County Court
and to say In advance what the Court
will do.
As your County Commissioner and
a member of tbe County Court it be
comes by duty to you and to myself
to go en record at tb'la time and state
fact and -make public why I refused
to sign tbe statement of March 9,
1918.
It Is the most disagreeable duty
that can be laid upon mo as a public
Jofllclal to be obliged to. publicly dis
agree with my fellow gacr and col.
I league In the CounttVCourt. I am
Mule for the statements made In the
communication of Judge Hanks and
Mr. McCornack. I can not admit' the
correctness of their publlahed state
ments and I have opposed and do em
phatically oppose their policy In this
Court House matter.
In the first place, the letter of
Judge Hatika and Mr. McCoraack la
In no tense an answer to the repeated
and proper requests of a large body
of our rltlsen tax payers. The County
Court entered Into a Contract of Jan.
uary 23, 1918, with certain architects,
tho Intent of which was amblguoua
