ECONOMICAL MANAGEMENT
Of Yuma Public Schools and Who
 is Responsible for it.
A Good Record.


 trustee for district No, l, Captain J. H. Godfrey, the present incumbent, Is a candidate for reelection. AS a sub- stantial basis for the claims which en- title him to reelection, it may be mentioned, first:
 That no other trustee of this district has ever given so much of his time nor shown so much interest in the up building of the schools as he, and none has endeavored so assiduously and with such success to reduce the school ex- penses to an economical, yet iudicious, point.
 For the past two years Capt. Godfrey has been the active member as well as clerk of the board, and in the latter capacity has had almost the sole con- trol and management of the financial and business affairs of the district. As proof of his economical management, it is a remarkable fact that the total expenses of the district during his two terms of office were over six hundred dollars less than the total expenses of the one school year ending March, 1899. This favorable showing is made more emphatic by the greatly increased en- r0llment of pupils, necessitating addi- tional school room and facilities, which have been provided, and also by the additional school paraphernalia and other useful property that has been acquired within the present school year. Through the energy of Capt. Godfrey, the school building and grounds, which had been neglected and permitted to lapse into most di- lapidated condition, have been re- paired and put in frst-class order. People who are familiar with the do- ings of the board know that Captain Godfrey is the enthusiastic, and, as already stated, the active and energetic member, and deserves a great deal more credit than is perhaps given him lCI UllC SUdl1Oeblu VI OlAS uIAles schools and the economical manage ment of the districts affairs. The fol- lowing comparative statement of ex- penses of the school years from 1898 to 1902, inclusive, is printed to show the effect of careful and economical meth ods which have been followed during Capt. Godfrey's incumbency:

 The above total expenses, of course, do not include the salaries of teachers.
 MT. l. H. Gilbert, superintendent ot the King of Arizona mine, died last Sunday after only a few hours illness. The cause of his death is not certainly known here. It has been learned that he went into the jline Saturday, and whtn he came out was taken suddenly very ill, presumably with congestive chill, from which he never recovered. The body was brought to Yuma Tues day morning to be embalmed by pr. Cotter for shipment to the former home of deceased, Dillon, Montana.
