¬

paper to ask the HonorableBoard of County Commissioners afew questions for my information

I see in their last report that theyhave called an election to bond thecounty for 50000 Now if Marioncounty is not able to pay 50000 for-

a new court house do we need it atpresent Why do you want to bondthe county for 50000 when youhave already awarded the contract-for 48000 And why did you givethe contract to this firm in Ocalawhen the Jacksonville firm offered todo the same work for 4000 lessNow whose property will it enhance-the value of if it is the farms ofMarion county is it right for the peo¬

ple of the city of Ocala to be taxed-

to pay for it or if it is the city prop ¬

erty is it right for the farmers to betaxed to pay for it Is it right toleave a bonded debt for posterity topay Can any of you honorablegentlemen see how Marion countywill be more able to pay 90000 for acourt house twenty years hence-

If an individual gives his note for alarge sum of money to build a fine

house and to commence paying for itin eleven years and finish at the endof twenty years if he could and pay ¬

ing 4 per cent interest all the timewould you not think he was a fool

If so would it not apply to a county-

as wellNo doubt you have heard of the

million dollar congress and the bil¬

lion dollar congress but did you everbefore hear of the 50000 county com-

missioners

¬

or do you expect to be-

come¬

millionionaires in this bond is¬

sue as Grover Cleveland didWill it take a 50000 court house to

preserve the recordsNow gentleman I voted for every

one of you at the general electionand will you please answer thesequestions for my information
