INTRODUCED BILL
FOR SCHOOL TAXES
MEANS A HIGH SCHOOL FOR US
Raise Amit to 3 Per Coat In First
snd Second Class District.

Senator Carpenter has introduced I
bill in the legislature providing for q
change In the manner of bonding
school districts for the purpose Of
building schools. The bill 10 framed
for the benefit Of first and second
class districts which are now far be-
hind In the matter OF adequate school
buildings owing to . lack OF funds
and the phenomenal increase in pop
ulation in the frst and second class
districts.
Denver. Pueblo. Colorado Springs
Greeley and several other towns are
up against the same proposition. Tn
der the present law q district csu on
ly be bonded for ~ per cent of the
assessed valuation. At the pre- ent
time nearly all first and second Class
districts are bonded to that amount
and are still suffering for want of
school buildings The new bill, II
passed will allow both first and aec-
ond class districts to be bonded for
per cent of the assessed valuation
and this would allow the Greeley dis
trict to borrow sufiicient funds for
the immediate erection Of the con-
templated high school and relieve the
situation here. The crowded cOnli'
tion OF the Greeley schools has reach
ed stage where something must
be Gone.
The bill was drawn by Attorney II.
NJ Haynes of Greeley and will he
presented to both houses Of the as
sembly at once.

than the top notch last year. and the
spud growers in this vicinity are as

the growers are making every effort

GA emorts to secure as large a dis
play OF feeder cattle for the coming
snow as possible, in order to be able
10 supply the hundreds of cattle feed
ers who are coming to the show for
the purpose of buying the feeders
exhibited. This feature of the show
mas always been of great interest and
last year the feeders exhibited sold
at very high prices tothe MANY buy-
ers who were here. A watch has
been carefully kept upon the feeding
ana marketing of these cattle and
as far as they have been heard from
al have made big money for the feed
ers. The cattle feeders have dis
covered that there is more money in
the fancy feeders shown at the an
nual Denver show than in the best
they can buy on the eastern markets
The cattle exhibited here have the
breeding and health and the mini
mum amount of feed produces the
amount of gain. II is ex-
pected that the prices paid at the
coming show will be higher than
ever before as the demand il Like
~ to exceed the supply. Western
cattle growers should bear this in
mind and If possible arrange to have
load or two at the show. The
date OF the coming show is January
