New School House Approved.

Honorable Joseph H. Kibbey, gov
ernor of Arizona, and J. H. Page,
territorial auditor. both members of
the board of control of Arizona, Wis
tied Clifton last week, one of their
missions being to inspect and pass
upon the new school building in South
Clifton. They spent the greatest
portion of Saturday morning at the
ground and were more than well sat-
isfed, and approved the building.
They we're very complimentary to
the appearances of the new building,
being of the opinion that district 80
has as good a school building as any
other district in the territory. The
lower floor is now being occupied by
the school and it is to be regretted
that sufficient funds are not on hand
to complete the upper floor.
District 80 has met with unlimited
misfortune, consisting of flood dam
age and other drawbacks and as
result the Indebtedness is so great
that it will require wise counsel
from the board OF trustees in the
future to pull it through. In former
years that district has been subjected
to larger expenditure than was re-
ceived from the county superintend-
emit As its appcrtionment. This state
of affairs must be corrected in the
future and the district not permitted
to advance any deeper in debt.
