Whereas, a question ot great importance is

val of the County seat from its present loca
tion to Curwensville, Be it
littolred, That the question of removal is
one which afTects all the citizens of Clearfield
County and its decision must havo an abiding
effect on the future prosperity of the county.
Resolved, That the present location is incon
venient and burdens the people of the county
with taxes and other expenses which could be
.saved by its removal.
Resolced, That when a county seat is not so
Socated as to afford the greatest facility to the
snsjority of the people to attend court and
transact necessary business, - it should be
changed.
Resolved, That Curwensville is more central
xs to location, population and business, that
it is on the great thoroughfares of the county,
3 hat it is in lhe heart of the agricultural dis
trict, and in every respect the most desirable
point for a county seat.
Resolced, That the removal of the county
et to Curwccsvillc will save to the people of
4his county over three thousand dollais per an
num in taxes and other expenses incident to
.attendance to county business.
Resolred, That the proposition of the citizens
of Curwensville and vicinity to erect the coun
ty buildings at private cost will save the tax
payers at least $40,000.
Resolred, That three-fourths of those who
transact business at the county seat wuuld be
better accomodated by removal.
Resolced, That for these reasons, we are in
rfavor of removal to Curwensville, and will
flise all honorable means to atfect that purpose,
by asking the Legislature to submit the ques
tion to a vote of the people of the county.
