ANSWERS
Editor Herald In addition to the
saving of 150,000 by the construction
of a new court house. Instead of corn.
pi cling the building In Hot Springs
Addition, the taxpayers should not
overlook the fart that $20,000 has al
ready been spent for street paving
and cement sidewalks around the
block on which the court bouse Is
now building a new court house. Re
liable architects have estimated that
after the court house In Hot Springs
Addition should be completed an ex
penditure of at least $40,000 would
be necessary In order to put the
grounds, streets and sidewalks In
proper condition.
Another thing the people should
keep In mind, that Is that lots 1, 3, 7
and of block 33, where the old
court house now stands, and where
tho foundation is now being prepared
for the new building, were donated
to Klamath County npon the express
condition thst a court house should
be erected and maintained on the
property. Should the structure In
tho Hot Springs Addition be com
pleted snd used as the court house,
these lots In block 35 would go back
to the heirs of Qulncy A. Brooks pad
wife under the terms of tha deed.
The lots probably have a value of
130,000, so In .addition to the loss of
lhe..$50,000 already jnentloned. It
would be necessary to Include 130,
000 for paving and sidewalks oa
block 36, 330.000 for loss of the lots
donated by Qulncy A. Brooks, and
340,000 required for Improvement
of grounds, streets' and sidewalks oa
the Hot Sphlngs tract. This would
Involve a total loss of 1130,000. All
I ask Is that each taxpayer look Into
this matter for himself.
