March 31st, 1921: Bids will be received on the courthouse May 10th, and awards on heating, ventilating, plumbing, and electric wiring will be made at the same time. It is hoped that building materials and labor will be a condition of normalcy by that time so that the work of erecting the long look for the courthouse. The limit of the cost of the entire structure is now by general acceptance put at $200,000.00 of which the county has now on hand considerably more than half which will be materially increased when the last half of the 1920 taxes are in. It will make everybody feel good when the scrapers begin to drag out the dirt from the basement. With the courthouse, the new school house and the sewerage system under full headway together with the dozen or more new homes that are planned, Stockton bids fair to be a pretty lively community next summer and fall.
