Jan. 6, 1910.
To the Honorable County Court <>r
of Klnmath County. Oregon.
Gentlemen:
It having come to
our knowledge that you contemplate
the const ruction of a new Court
House during the coming year,
upon tile present site on Main street
in the City of Klamath Falls. It has
occurred to us that the- present loca
tion Is not sufficiently large*, nor the
light elevation, nor sufficiently night
ly for the construction and mainte
nance of the magnificent building
you no doubt will erect.
In pursuance to a resolution
passed by the Board of Directors of
the Hot Springs Company, 1 am vest
ed with authority to offer you what
we are pleased to consider a much
better location In ninny ways, and
the acceptance of which will mean
tho Having of a good many thousand
dollars to the taxpayers of Klnmath
County.
We offer you absolutely free, with
out charge, block ten (101, in the
Hot Springs Addition to the City of
Klnmath Fulls, to be used for the
purpose of the construction ami main
tenance of the new Court House
building.
This alto comprises five (5) acres
and is located sufficiently high above
Ihe surrounding territory to make it
sightly, and is easily accessible tn
vehicles or pedestrians.
We have nlwaya kept this block
Intact, expecting later, when the timo
became ripe, to construct a large ho
tel and sanitarium at a cost of not
less than |150,00() to 1200.000. In
case of your acceptance, we will lo
cate this important structure on or
near the park immediately below.
We consider block 10 a very valu
able tract.
For Instance, the five
acres could be platted into thirty
lots, and we could easily secure for
these lots, at present prices, a thou
sand dollars each. This would mean,
at the present time, a valuation of
Aiiison.
