Petitions Drive for New Humboldt County Court House
Petitions circulate across Humboldt County urging the Board of Supervisors to place a November 3 1936 general election vote on financing a new Dakota City court house. The proposal asks to borrow 95000 dollars for construction and equipment with a seven tenths mill tax levy until bonds and interest are paid, aided by an estimated 80000 dollar government grant toward a 175000 dollar project. The piece argues the current building is antiquated and that debt now is preferable to later higher costs, noting the county has long avoided debt despite the need.
