In the succeeding part of this editorial I shall try to point out some of the most glaring reasons why every qualified taxpayer in the County of Duchesne should vote in favor of the proposition that would give the board of county commissioners the right to bond the county to build a new, modern courthouse. It was approximately 38 years ago that Duchesne County became a separate governmental unit, or political In all those years subdivision of the State of Utah. county offices have been housed in rented buildings, wherever they were able to find quarters Today they occupy an old, broken down hotel building that was constructed over 40 years ago, and which still carries a sign on the east end of the building which reads "Grant Hotel." The courtroom facilities are inadequate and condemnation of the courthouse has been suggested several tifines over .the years by district court judges, who have the power to condemn any building used for court purposes If, and there is no question that eventually this will be done, this should become a reality it is the responsibility of the board of county commissioners to supply a building for holding court. Walls, ceilings and roofs of the old building are parting, and one side of the building must be braced if valThe vaults, uable county records are to be preserved such as they are, are tilled to overcapacity and expensive law books and records are being piled in the corner of the small library on the upstairs floor because shelves are filled to overflowing. Not only are the vaults full, but in some offices rain and melting snow has run down through the records, making preservation of them an almost impossible job. Daylight can be seen in various rooms of the building and into the vaults which in case of a fire would serve as a first class incinerator. If the building were not condemned, before it could be used in the future several hundreds of dollars would have to be expended to repair various parts of the building , . . Already this summer and fall repairing has been done which might last until next spring. With the vaults filled, where will our public effietek who man the county offices store the ever increasing valuable records? Will .they pile them in the leaky upstairs room of the courthouse, or will a new vault at the rear of the building have to be built, which will require a custodian in order for the public to use the records. Surely the importance of .those records which belong to YOU and to ME is understood by all of us. Whether they are preserved for our posterity is a question you will answer when you have a chance to vote on this issue on NOVEMBER FOURTH. Now is the time to build a new courthouse' in DuThere Our county is chesne County all the countys debts have is no bonded indebtedness been liquidated in the past five years , .. Surely .there will be a slight increase in taxes, but estimates and information prove the increase will not exceed 2 mills A rather small sum when one considers the things that are at stake if we were to suddenly find the county without a place to hold court and house the val--i uable records. Earlier in this article I tried to point out that every ' logical answer to the question, "Does Duchesne County . . . Only narrow Need a New Courthouse, mut be and of or lack progress would pride community prejudice, prompt a person to oppose the issue that will be voted on at the same time you select your next President and November 4.

They are now completing the necessary casing and other details proparatory to beginning commercial production at the Elmer Moon well. The well is located about 6 miles northeast of Duchesne City. Optimism was high in the company as to the prospects of their Joseph Smith No. 1 wildcat in the Flat Mesa, two miles north of the Citv of Duchesne, where they were coring ahead early this week at about 8,913 feet. Everything points to another discovery well at the Joseph Smith No. 1, but we are no ready to announce it a? a well, an official of the company said Wednesday. Officials of tha affiliate of Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey said the Elmer Moon wildcat was being tested through a gauge. The flow was obtained after treatment of an interval in the Greenriver formation estimated at between 6400 and 6571 feet, plugged back total depth of the Antelope area test. Some 4000 gallons of acid were introduced into the well under pressure in the treatment program. Recovery of the 20 barrels of oil, cut 110 of 1 per cent with basic sediments, through inch choke was one the of several gauges made by the firm. An earlier gauge over a period through a inch choke saw a flow of 62 barrels of fluid, of which 99.4 per cent was oil. As gauging is continuing md as there is sometimes a bounce back after introduction of acid under pressure ir a productive formation no accurate estimate could be made of what he well would do under regular commercial production. h one-ha- lf six-ho- one-fourt- h G01 Exhibits In A total of 601 exhibits were entered in the , 1952 Duchesne County Fair for all departments combined, reports Louis A..
