In another column we publish the
call of the chairman and secretary of
the citizens committee for a mass
CITY convention to be held at the
court house on Friday evening,
March 10Th. All voters of the town
of Lamar are eligible as delegates to
the convention, and all are inyited
to attend. The present members of
the council, both the outgoing and
holdovers, were elected by this party
on the issue of making public I'M
provements. This policy has been
faithfully carried out so far, but
many of the proposed improvements
sidewalks, sewers, etc, are still un-
completed, and there is general
sentiment that it is best for the town
to have the work finished by the
men familiar with the work already
done. These men haye devoted q
large amount of time free to the
city's interests and might claim to
be entitled to a rest, but as all are
heavily interested in the future well
fare of Lamar, they can not refuse
to go ahead with the work they have
begun.
These improvements have added
no small amount towards the general
prosperity which Lamar has been
enjoying in the past year. and with
the great growth now going on here
and in store for the future, not only
these but other improvements will
be of greater necessity than ever.
The retiring members of the council
are thoroughly familiar with the
work of the city government, are all
good business men, and they should
be returned by unanimous vote.
The Lamar register. [volume] (Lamar, Colo.) 1889-1952, 1906-03-14

the Government has grown. The
total amount asked for the next fis-
cal year is $l92,00O,OOO, an increase
of alb out $25,O00,0O0 over the sum
voted for the present year. The
amount allotted to the rural free de-
livery service is $2S,OOO,O0O, which
is more than the expenditure of the
entire Postoffice Department thirty
years ago.
In 1876 the cost OF the nation IS
postal service was S33,0OO,OOO; in
1886 it was $50, 100000, and in 1896
S90.000,000. Thus it will be seen
that the cost has more than doubled
in the last ten years, and in three de-
cades it has increased skiold. The
present expenditure exceeds half a
million a day, which is more than
twice the sum spent by any foreign
nation on its postal service. 1t is
true that in Germany the cost of the
Postoce Department is a little more
than S1OO,O00,000 a year, but this
includes the telegraph service also
Great Britain comes next with $780,
100000 snd France third with $780,
100000; and no other nation even
approaches these figures.
The increase in the cost of our
Posioffice Department we'll SHOWS the
growth and prosperity of the coun-
try. The expenditure for postage,
which last year was $500 per capita,
is increasing rapidly. The depart
ment is scarcely able to supply the
demand for new rural free delivery
routes caused by the remarkable sue
cess of this branch of the service. 1t
is now possible for farmers living at
considerable distances from postof
fees, to have their mail delivered
and collected daily, thus enjoying al
most the same benefits as are receiv-
ed by the urban population.
The Postoffice Department is not
and never bas been self supporting,
though it could easily be made so by
cutting off the franking privilege, or
by reducing the rural free delivery
service. The Government does not
operate the department to make
money, nor could it do SO without
greatly reducing the benefits receiv-
ed by the people, but there is no
reason why it should tolerate an an
nual deficit of several million dollars
when balance on the right side
could be had by merely cutting off
a privilege which has become an
abuse.-Ex.

New School House

The special election to vote on the
question of bonding the Lamar
School District for the purpose of
raising funds to erect new school
building was held on Monday. The
meeting of voters before the opening
of the election brought out some in
teresting information as to the rapid
increase in the population of the dis
trict. Last year the enrolment for
the entire year was 42O, although a
truant officer was employed by the
district to enforce the compulsory
laws. This year the schools have
been so crowded to overfowing that
the board has been compelled to drop
all efforts to enforce these laws as
they were hardly able to care for
those that came voluntarily, and yet
the enrolment has already reached
$50, gain of one third, and more
than two months of school yet to
hear from.
On the basis of last years enroll
ment to the actual school census,
there must now be considerably over
300 children of school age in the dis
trict, and it is evident that by the
time another year rolls around this

cording to the figures of the assessor
would only permit a bond issue Of
$4,000 in addition to those already
outstanding, and the unanimous sem
timent of the meeting, as expressed
by the resolution of N. N. Mclean,

kept open three hours. The bonds
