FOR THE NEW COURT HOUSE.
Article No. 3.
To tho Voters unci Taxpayer of Lin
coln County:
Your comtnittoo further answering
the question, Do we need a new court
house? desire to say in addition to
what was said in nrticlo 2:
That the present building was built
in 1K7G, JM years ago; that tho founda
tion!) of the building was native ntono
taken out of the hills south of town;
that n dozen years or moro ago, thin
foundation gave out badly through tho
action of the weather and the alkali in
the ground and it becatno necessary
to have it cemented over. Tho brick
in tho building is soft nativo brick.
A few years ago it was found that the
safe in tho treasurer's ofllco was caus
ing the floor tosettlo,ar.d it became ncc
ocuary, in order to keep tho safo from
falling through tho floor, to tako up
tl.o flooring and temporarily nut sup
ports under the safo. It was found ut
tl ut time that tho Rills and joiBts sup
porting tho floors in tho lower Htory
were badly decayed.
At tho same time an examination1
made of tho roof disclosed tho fact
that tho roof boards were decaying, bo
that they would not proporly hold tho
shingles.
Tho opponents of tho now court houso
proposition, whilo admitting tho inade
quacy of tho building and its very un
safe condition, so far aa affording pro
tection from destruction by tiro to tho
valuable records of tho county, say that
the remedy is to add to tho present
building.
If that remedy is to bo adopted
it is very evidont that tho
building would need now foundations,
now sills and joists on tho lower floor
nnd a new roof, and then if tho build
i:g was to bo incrcasod in size to pro
porly transact tho business of tho
county and afTord ofllco rooms for the
county ofllcers, it would havo to have
in addition containing vaults of four or
five times the capacity of tho present
vaults, and at least equal tho office
room of tho present building.
This would probably cost $20,000.00
to $2T,000.00 and when wo got through
wo would only havo a makeshift and
would havo that much moro money in
this old flro trap, which wo would somo
day havo to throw away to mako room
for n decent building.
Douglas county has boon wrestling
with tho samo problem for tho past ton
years. Many of our roadors no doubt
Irnvo seen tho really fine court houso on
Farnam St., in Omaha, that was built
n short timo ago, much lator than our
court houso, at a cost of $250,000.00.
For tho past ten years it hnB boon in
adequate and tho county has had to
rent ofllco spaco olsowhero, and after
discussing variouB plans for enlarging
this building, tho tax payers of Doug
las county rojected all of the proposed
additions and by a largo majority voted
n million dollars for a new court houso
nnd this rcnllv flno bulldinor will ha iln.
stroyed. In tho end this will prove of
tho greatest economy nnd instead of
having tho old building with unsightly
natch work of additions there will hn n
flno symmetrical building, ndequato to
uio nui'iiH oi mo pumic oumnoss and a
building that ovory citlzon and tax
tmvnr nf the eonntv will Vin nrnn.l nt
Douglas county is no moro ablo to
build a million dollar court iionnn limn
Lincoln county Is to build a $100,000.00
court houso.
For Lincoln county to refuse to build
n new court houso and Instead to trv
and mako such additions to tho old ono
nu would houso our county oflkors,
would be llko a farmor who had lived
in tho old sod houso until his bank no..
count had become plethoric, his bins
und cribs full and plenty of fat cattlo
and hogs In the pons and until his
ramlly was too largo for tho old soddy.
Would ho start In under those clrcnm.
stnncen to build an addition to tho old
noddy or would ho not do as so many of
our well to do farmors havo dono build
a nlco now frame buildlntr.
The old court houso was in keeping
with tho sod house era, but is sadly
out of place in a livo progressive and
prosperous community.
In our next nrticlo wo will discuss
tho cost of tho now court houao to tho
liultvtilunl tax payer.
COUUT IIOUSK COMMITTEE,
About the Court House.
lhtrty-two years ago Lincoln county
built tho court houso. In it woro built
two firo-proof vaults to prcsorvo tho
public records. Tho court houso cost
fully forty thousand dollars and is in a
good state of preservation today. Tho
COUIltv clerk IniH nnn nt tlin vnnlrn Tim
main "business of tho county clork is to
cony ueecis, mortgages and othor vnl
imnio documents and to prcsorvo them
When the instrument la copied, tho
original is returned to tho owner,
Whon tho county clerk takes tho ofllco
iio knows what is expected of him. Ho
oxamlncs tno premises to sco if suit
able provision is mado to preservo tho
records and if so O. K., but if ho finds
there is no provision, or inadenunto
ft
rovUIon, mado to prcsorvo tho records
t is his bounded duty to inform tiinsn
who elected him of tho fact. If ho did
not ho is unworthy to hold tho ofllco,
for tho people believe tho public
records aro safo. Tho League bollevos
tho present county clerk is honest and
UB cnnable nn nnv mim Unit nvnr hold
tho ofllco, and If there was any danger
to tno puonc records no would warn
tho public. So tho timid, who wero
frightoned by tho proclamation of tho
court liouso committco, may Bleep

instruments unu tno conies uro unto.
Hut tho clork is sadly in need of nn
other room to do clerical work In, and
as soon as tho county ndopts tho Initin
tlvo and referendum law tho need will
be Buppllcd.
In the next wo will comment on tho
county treasurer und clork of tho dis

Editor Tribune:-It is certainly en
couraging to sec ono of North I'latte's
most prominent citizens take up the
fight against tho proposed new $100,
000 court house. In times past that
littlo ring in North Platte got every
thing it wanted from thn court houso
janitor to the district judge, but in so
vital a matter as this new court house
they will have to reckon with tho rura'
population. It is very fortunate for
tho common people, the people from
thejrural precincts, that th-y huvesuch
