Last Saturday at the election held
here for the voting on the bonding of
our county for the purpose OF erecting
a high school building, there was
very large number came from all over
the county. All the taxpayers or near
ly all, came over from Basalt, the rail
roads having furnished them with free
transportation, to vote against the
bond. That part of it wasn't nearly
so provoking as to have them come
here, and then make all manner of re-
marks about our town and people. Our
those who came all the way over from
Basalt to cast their vote against the
establishment of high school building
which would be great benefit to our
county if they only knew it, but from
all appearances they are not the kind
who are going to help the advancement
of their neighboring towns as some of
them even brought their lunches with
them and then went into the hotel to
eat it. They wouldn't patronize our
hotels for one meal even.
The Basalt people do not seem to
think one favor is worth another in
return, as there are more people at
Basalt holding county offices than in
any other town in the county and if
they didn't get any aid or support
from Gypsum they wouldn't stand such
a very good show as our town ism It so
awfully small. When the next election
is held they will undoubtedly notice a
slight change in matters as we do not
feel inclined to help those who do not
help us any in our achievements.
We will help those from our sister
town, Red Cliff, who stood by us faith
fully and gave us a solid vote for the
bonding of the county.
Eagle, our neighboring town, gave
us few for it but by far more against
it.
