WANTS MORE ROOM.
Each School House Should Have
an Entire Block.
SUGGESTIONS MADE.

To the Editor of the Citizen: Now
that the people of Albuquerque have
voted to issue bonds for the erection
of new school houses for the various
wards, 1t is quite important that these
new buildings he properly located.
When the present buildings were
erected, the school board at that time
made a very serious mistake In plac-
ing them upon small pieces of land.
Each ward school should have been
built on not less than a block OF
ground. This much ground Is extreme
ly necessary so as to provide ample
playground for the children. From
either false idea of economy or to
save trouble in endeavoring to secure
larger pieces of land, the First ward
and the Second ward schools were To-
Gated on a quarter of block each,
which gave them frontage of $50 feet
by a depth of 142 feet. The Third and
Fourth ward schools were located, the
one on eight lots and the other on nine
lots. subsequently an additional lot was
purchased for the Third so that they
are each located on nine lots, which
give them a frontage of 225 feet by
142.
AS the school houses began to fill up
these small pieces of ground were
found entirely too restricted for the
purposes designed. This was found es-
pecally to be true when the board
placed the outhouses on the grounds.
The result has been that the school
children have been driven to play In
the streets. and to invade the property
of the surrounding lot owners.
AS the city grows, this defect VIII
he more keenly felt OF course 1t is i'm
possible now to change the location OF
the present school buildings and in
many cases 1t will be difficult, II not
impossible, to enlarge the Fairgrounds.
The present board, however, in To-
eating the new buildings. which the
present bond issue provides, can Sc
lect land which will be ample for the
future uses OF the city.
In the First ward, beyond the st.
| Joseph's hospital, there is plenty OF
ground which can be secured with but
| little expense. In the Second ward,
the owners of the eastern addition
would undoubtedly willingly donate a
block of ground. In the Fourth ward
the owners of the Perea addition would
without question furnish the Board OF
Education with an entire block OF
ground. In the Third ward there is
/ less vacant space and ii might be
more difficult to secure land there at
reasonable figure but unquestionably
the enterprising citizens of that ward
would very gladly furnish the board
with sufficient ground.
In these matters we must build for
the future and it would be great mis-
take, especially as we now have the
prospect of the city becoming a large
one. to place the proposed new school
buildings on restricted quarters. Yours
very truly. HIGH SCHOOL.

MISMATED COUPLES.
The CoItax County Court Severed
Ties by the Wholesale.
DEsERTloN, DRUNKENNESS. ETC.

There was no lack of grist for the
divorce mill at Ration last session OF
district court of Colfax county. There
were a number of divorces granted and
a still larger number of applications on
file. Most of the complaints were for
abandonment and desertion and not
for more serious and sensational
charges. Following are a number OF
those released from the bonds OF mat
rimony:
Elizabeth G. Seek asked that the
court release her from the tie-up with
James r. Seek, on account of defend
ant being a confirmed drunkard most
of the time since their wedding day,
and also on account of desertion. The
court thought Elizabeth was asking for
nothing more than she deserved, and
the tie that binds was rent asunder
Ida Allen Darlington was released
from W. B. Darlington. on the grounds
of periodical desertion, and because
the court thought that if a living had
to be made by taking in washing, 1t
was easier for her to support one than
two. Mrs. Darlington testified that her
husband left her the last time with
nothing to eat in the house but two
potatoes. Lacey Everett, the attorney
who was on the docket for rape. was
her attorney and skipped town the day
after he got the decree.
Charles p. Miller got sympathy and
release from Abbie Z. Miller, on the
grounds that she had ceased to care
for him, the fire" having burned out.
and because Abbie insisted OIL chasing
about with other men. AbJie is now
free to her other lovers and Charlie Is
saved an extra board bill.
Martin r. Baker, an attorney in this
district, was married in Arkansas In
1873 and they have two children, IL
and 13 years of age respectively. His
wife abandoned him in 1896 and went
back to Arkansas, and he since has
had to live alone. The court thought
this sufficient grounds to break the
matrimonial tie and now Martin is in
the list of eligibles. Mrs. Baker Is
fairly well fixed with this world s
goods and will take care OF the chill
dren.
Mary Patterson said she had been a
true, kind and loving wife of John, her
husband, but Notwithstanding, he
without any fault whatever on heI
part. left, deserted and abandoned her
in 1896 and had also been cruel TO her
in many ways, such as throwing his
shoes at her and really striking her
Mary can marry again now.
May Ward was given a divorce from
w. L. Ward, and Adelaide Mayotte will
have to paddle her own canoe in the
future without any assistance what
ever from Frank X. Mayotte.

his anxiety to prevent her doing more
damage Mr.. Cameron strained himself

which he is still suffering or from the
