We do not believe there is a chance of approval of the present bond issue. £ thereon. Taxpayers who agree in that opinion will vote NO at the election May 15 and refuse to authorize an expenditure so greatly in excess of what it need be. j "Yet we _insist around $125,000 is to be saved by sale of the valuable county acreage in Libertyville, purchase of a smaller and less expensive site elsewhere and erection of new buildings | The amount of the proposed bond issue for purpose of erect-- Iing' new buildings at the county farm is under discussion in many quarters. Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, a quarter mil-- lion, rather staggers taxpayers and causes speculation among contractors familiar with construction work of the kind. Private enterprise would undoubtedly accomplish like result at less ex-- penditure. Public work always costs more than individuals or companies expend for §he same result, and yet it would seem the amount asked is in excess of what need be. Poor farm buildings are not ordinarily elaborate structures. They must be durable, fireproof and equipped to comfortably house the inmates. More than that is unnecessary. The offhand estimate of a couple of contractors places the amount needed under $200,000. Citizens, admittedly unfamiliar with construction work of the kind, are heard to express the belief $150,000 should be ample. However, that is something our board of supervisors must and have deter--. mined.' We are inclined to accept their judgment in the matteri of necessary costs. : . -- Lake county voters will have opportunity on May 15, when the bond issue proposition is submitted for approval, of register-- ing their convictions in the matter. If the $250,000 bonds are authorized then the supervisors will impro:ve the present site. If they are not there is nothing left to do but follow a course of better-- economy--sell the farm, buy a much smaller and less expensive site and apply the profit realized on necessary new Taxpayers will save themselves an added burden of from $125,000 to $140,000 by voting NO on May 15@ and they should avail themselves of the opportunity to do so. : 329 .. Don't fail to vote! ' Lake county is confronted with the necessity\{ new buildings to replace the dilapidated and unsanitary structures that have served more than half a century. It is estimated $250,000 will be required.to erect and equip the buildings contemplated. If the present valuable acreage comprising the county farm were sold for $135;000 to $150,000, which is undoubtedly can be and 15 to 20 acres purchased for from $7,500 to $i_0,00Q, the profit would reduce by one--half or more the amount required for new buildinigs, and expense of operation on the smaller site would constitute a further very material saving. < # .
