Newsy Notes From Davis County's

KAYSVILLE, Dec. 21.-The matter of
providing more adequate accommoda-
tons for the school children of this
immediate vicinity is receiving much
attention of late, ard there is a good
prospect that something will be done
in the very near future to relieve the
present over-crowded condition of To-
cal school houses. Some action with
this end in view seems absolutely
necessary.
The board of school trustees has is
sued call for meeting of the resi-
dent taxpayers of the Eighth school
district, TO be held in the Central
school house next Saturday, December
%, at pm. 1t is not improbable that
Prof. T. B. Lewis will be at the meet
ing. At amy rate, the desirable of
increasing the seating capacity of the
local schools will be presented to those
who attend.
The Eighth school district comprises
all Of Kaysville and part of Layton
and West Layton wards. Two new
school houses are needed in the district;
one here, to be occupied by a high
school as we'll as the lower grades,
and one at Layton for primary and in
termediate grades. The trustees esti-
mate that $4,000 will be required for
the erection of these two buildings.
The meeting that has been called will
have to consider the proposition of
levying a tax to raise the necessary
funds.
The people Of the district will be
given chance to express their wishes
on the question by their ballots. The
AL L.,
from $3.50 to o'clock p. m. Every quail
flied voter in the district should see to
it that he casts vote. 1t is an i'm
portant matter; one that affects the
educa tional interests of the district
very materially, and IS such it de-
mands the calm consideration Of every
citizen, and especially of taxpayers,
for it will appeal to their judgments
through the medium of their pocket
books.
r. ". Barnes, of the school board,
said yesterday that he favored the
proposition to erect the new buildings.
1.-The matter stands Just this way
said Mr.. Barnes. ''The district now
has 500 school children, and there is
seating capacity for only $50. Allow
ing that the New West school has an
attendance of sixty, that leaves 200
children that cannot attend school
without over-crowding the school
rooms. We have one school in the dis
trict with an enrolment of seventy.
and the room has a capacity for seat
ing only forty-two. 1t is very unconl-
Portable and proper advancement can
not be made.
The reason our board took action
was that parents were coming to US
complaining that their children could
not attend school, and we wanted the
parents themselves to be made ac-
quainted with existing conditions. so
we would be released from the respon-
sibility. That is what the proposed
meeting and the voting for or against
a. special school tax will accomplish.
Personally, 1 would like to see Kays-
Vile in line with other progressive
Utah cities in matters pertaining to
the advancement of educational inter
ests and these new buildings are just
what we need"
The general sentiment is decidedly In
favor of a tax being levied, and the
necessary buildings being erected.
Some sketches of the proposed high
school building have already been
made and they will probably be pre-
scented at the meeting next week. If
erected as proposed, the building will
be decidedly modern in every way.
The Matrimonial Market.
In this department of last Sundays
Herald mention was made of the pre-
vailins frequency of marriages here
this month and of the apparently IL
limitable number of such alliances
that were i'm prospect Incidentally it
was predicted that one and perhaps
two such happy events would take
place this week. Those authorizations
have been more than realized, and
again it might be said, 1.-The end is not
Yet"
