        A NEW COURT HOUSE.
        
        Whereas, on the 20th day of October, A.D. 1882, the board of
      supervisors of Mason county, Michigan, then convened in annual
      session, passed a resolution to submit to a vote of the electors
      of said Mason county, a proposition to borrow the sum of
                        FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
      for the purpose of building a Court House in said county, on land
      then owned by or to be donated to said county, and that fifteen
      several bonds of the denomination of one thousand dollars each
      be issued, the rate of interest to be paid not to exceed six per
      cent; said bonds to be payable after three years, and at any time
      within ten years thereafter, at the option of the county. There-
      fore, notice is hereby given that the question of borrowing the
      sum of fifteen thousand dollars for the purpose of building a
      Court House in Mason county, Michigan, as above set forth, will
      be submitted to the legal electors of said  Mason county at the
      annual township meeting in April, A.D., 1883.
                                 Robert Caswell,
                       Chairman of the Board of Supervisors 
                       of Mason County.
                       
                       Attest: Lucious E. Hawley, Clerk.

        The above notice will be posted in conspicuous places in every
      ward and township in the county at least thirty days before the
      spring election. The question of bonding the county for such sum
      and for such purpose is one that is, or ought to be, of interest
      to every taxpayer in the county. It is not too soon for the pub-
      lic to turn their attention to the question, and we invite cor-
      respondence from any or all quarters apropos of the subject. Let
      us consider the matter.
