Whereas, Under the laws of the State of Nebraska it is made the duty of tlie<tounty Board of Super visors of each county in the state to provide for a safe and suitable court house for the transacting of the county business, and to provide suita ble offices for tiie accommodation of the county officers and court rooms and offices for the accommodation of tiie several courts of record of the county, and tire-proof vaults and safes, for tiie safs keeping of county records, and to provide a safe jail of sufficient strength to hold prisoners. And Whereas, Sherman county's court house is an old brick structure and in poor repair, and not fireproof, and wholly inadequate for the ser vices required and unsanitary in every particular, and the vaults are not fireproof and not of sufficient ca paoity to hold the records of the county, and many of tiie valuable records of the county affecting titles to real estate are in no way protected against tire, and some of the more valuable records are protected by reason of the board through necessity having hired bank vaults outside of tiie court house. The county jail is an old frame structure, and is not of sufficient strength to hold prisoners, and is un healthful and unfit for use. And Whereas. By reason of tiie aforesaid condition of the court house and jail of said county the record title to each tract of real estate in said county is in danger, also tiie court records and the records involving tiie estates of deceased persons are unsafe and liable to be destroyed by fire or otherwise, which might result in endless litigation and great expense. And the unsanitary condition of our jail is dangerous to tiie health of any unfortunates who may have to be in carcerated therein, by reason whereof the county may become liable in dam ages to those confined therein. Now, therefore be it resolved by the Board of County Supervisors of said county of Sherman, in the^tateof Ne braska, in adjourned regular session met at the court house in Loup City, Nebraska, county seat of said coun ty. and the usual place of meeting of said board, on tiie 19th day of May. 1914. That there be submitted to the legal voters of said county at a sDecial election to be held therein on Tuesday, the 30th day of June. 1914, proposition which is set out fully in the following form of notice, which is made a part of this resolution, which said proposition it will be necessary to carry, in order to enable said board to provide a suitable and proper court house and jail for said county, to-wit: To the Logoi voters of Sherman County, Nebraska: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That at a special election to be held in said county on Tnesday, the 30th day of June, 1914, there will be sub mitted to the legal voters of said coun ty, for their acceptance or rejection, the following proposition, to-wit: ‘•Shall the Board of County Super visors of Sherman county.
