YUMA COUNTY COURT HOUSE, ERECTED AT A 

 COST OF $50,000 



Yuma County's new court house was erected in 1910 at a cost of 

 $50,000. It is a modern and sightly structure with every modern 

 convenience. It houses all of the county officials, and contains two 

 court rooms. In the rear is a substantial and modern jail structure 

 and on the Southwest side a new garage for the county car has been 

 recently built. The court house occupies a sightly position and from 



its dome a magnificent view of all of the surrounding country may 

 be obtained. 



Yuma county is one of the largest counties in Arizona. It is 200 

 miles North and South and 80 miles from East to West. At the last 

 election 2650 voters were registered. It has $13,500,000 of taxable 

 property. The tax rate last year was $1.42 on the $100 of taxable 

 property, a very low rate for a new and rapidly developing country. 



The development of Yuma County is not confined to any one 

 particular section. In addition to the lands under the Yuma project 

 great development is going on in the Gila valley and in the Cibola 

 and Parker valleys along the Colorado River North of Yuma.
