Show County Bonds Defeated. In the election held on Monday Mon-day the ICth, it was decided by the taxpayers of Sanpete county coun-ty that they were not yet ready to go to the expense of bonding the county for 70,000 to build a new court house. The bond issue was defeated at the polls by a vote of 1G21 against the measure as against CG2 for it. The county may have avoided avoid-ed the calling of the election if the commissioners had consulted consult-ed with the leading men of the larger cities. Very little was 1 ever mentioned in this end of the county and in fact many of ; the people are not pleased with , the actions of the commissioners commission-ers for calling the election with out consulting the people. The Mt. Pleasant Commercial Club, the leading organization of the North end of the county does not approve of being over looked in matters of such vital importance; and hereafter it would be well to consult them and get a voice of the people before going to such expense. The club feels that the expense thus incurred would go a long way towards keeping up the xpenses of an experienced man to instruct the farmers in agricultural pursuits in the county. In round figures the expense of this election will reach near the thousand dollar mark. There are a great many things which would be well for the county to have, but just at pres ent Mt. Pleasant has a very heavy load to carry in building an Electric Light & Power plant Fairview just laid new side walks, Moroni is building a Waterworks system, Fountain Green has enough for a year and Spring City is going to en ter the new field and bond for the laying of cement sidewalks. Had the question been brought up the right way at the right time North Sanpete would have given more support to the movement. |
