The Last One Burned.

School District No. 1, of which this
city is part, is completely out of
debt, and the last bond has been
burned. Six years ago the bonded
indebtedness of the district, was S33,
900, and the general fund not enough
to pay the running expenses of. the
schools. Last night the last one of
these bonds were paid off, there was a
balance in the sinking fund of S493. .6S
a balance in the general fund of
S4,025.19, and only one warrant of
S44 standing out. This is a good
showing, and the people will fully
realize it when their school taxes will
be reduced accordingly. 1t has been
hard pull and long one, but it has
come through, and the board of educa-
ton that we have had for the last six
years is deserving of great credit for
their businesslike conduct of the
schools. Some of this Indebtedness
had been dragging along for years,
with no effort made to pay it, but
thank fortune, its all off now.

An Opera House.

Keep talking it up. Great Bend can
build one this summer, either with a
couple of store rooms, or after the
auditorium plan. We favor the store
room plan, on some good corner
something after the plans outlined a
few weeks ago; because then the. city
would be improved, and there would
be other sources of revenue besides
from the show features. ~ n
AS soon as some further plans and
Specifications are received so that
there will be something definite to
work from, a meeting will becalIed to
organize and go after the matter prop
erly.
