DAYTON, Wash, Jan. 4.-(Special)
The problem of erecting new school
buildings is the most serious now
confronting the school directors ana
people of Dayton. With the rapid
growth of the public schools during
the last four years it is found neces-
sary to provide additional facilities.
For seeing this the board has adopted
policy of cutting expense accounts
to the minimum. 1t is estimated by
members of the board that at the end
of the present school year, the warrant

stormy winter days.
