MANY REPAIRS ARE NEEDED
ON QUINCY ST. PAVEMENT

The asphalt pavement on Quincy
street, between Reservation and Mes
nard is i'm very bad condition, large
patches being broken out of the road
way, and the bricks alongside the car
tracks being loosened and missing in
many places, rendering the thorough
fare very unsightly. The need of re-
pairs is very apparent. and it was the
intention of the city authorities to
have the Barber Asphalt company send
an outfit here to make repairs this
summer. The question has been agi-
tated, however, by many citizens whe-
Their or not before anything is done to
the pavement, the old small rails of
the car tracks cannot be replaced with
heavier ones and a concrete foundation
be placed beneath the ties. When the
pavement was laid there was no such
foundation and IL has been the general
understanding that i'm time heavier
rails were to be installed. If ii should
be decided to do this 1t would be un-
wise. in the opinion of the authorities
~ Wv bhS 'hAiS WIN NhN pehNiA6 aheii
the change has been made. A large
section of the street will have to be
torn up to put in the concrete founda-
ton. amounting practically to re-
paving of one third or more of the
roadway A top dressing would also be
required along the entire length of the
asphalt paving to cover up the joints
that would be necessary, and also tC
conceal the patches resulting from the
cutting OF the asphalt in making vari-
Gus city improvements, such as plac-
ing the wires underground, etc.
1t is not generally known that the
city has not yet paid the amount due
on the bonds issued to pay for the lay
ing of the asphalt pavement eight years
ago. These bonds, amounting to $500
were included in the list presented b!
the finance committee to the council
last Monday night, and they have we
something over two years to run, tel
years having been fixed as the time 70
payment.

above answers will give you an idea of the work you have in view for your people.
 Knowing your community, it's advantages of location, soil and climate, as I do, I am satisfied that if there is built a high school at the cost of $50,000, the tax payers will realize in one year after it's completion that they have made the best investment for the general advancement, moral, religious, educational and financial, that they have made since their churches were built and the right of way through the community and county given to railroads.

gathered, and during the coming summer the students of the Uni versity geological department will complete the work so by next spring the commercial or ganizations of the state will be able to show to the people on the outside just what can be manu- factured from Arkansas claws. and in what part of the state those of commercial value can be found. The young surveyors have about half completed the work on the survey of the water power of the state, and this, too, will be completed during the coming summer. When the wa> ter power work is out of the way the students will commence a coal survey of the state.

 Superintendent 'Dunaway's Queries

Pine Bluff, Ark, March P. TO. Mr. o. l.. Dunnaway,
 Prescott, Ark.
 Dear Sir: Replying to your letter of February 21st, 1 answer as follows:
 Question 1.-::'If the tax pay. CTS want it, can the school board afford to borrow money and put ut new high school building?" Yes The legislature of 1909 passed the following law (see Acts of 1909, page 947, Sec. 3, authorizing any special school district to borrow money, on mortgage or otherwise for build ing proposes, when submitted to vote of the district. This is the section; That all school districts created under this act shall have the power to borrow money; as any other special or single district, in citins or incor- polated towns, when a majority Of the legal electors vote for the same, at any annual school meet ing"
 Question Would such a building, with a four years course ol study, Increase the value of rfescott property very much?"

latlon. The cities of Philadelphia. Searcy, Conway, Texarkana;War ren, Pine Bluff, Monticello, Mag
 nolla and several others are in evidence. There is every reason to believe, that if Prescott should erect high school building,
 equip it with up-to- date improve ments and put in a strong faculty with four yours course as now required by colleges and univer- sities, property values would easily increase p to 30 per cent.
 Question g. How much do you think should be invested in a new building?" Your present population rated at 5000, and growing, with an increase in six years of high school attendance from two to seventy pupils, would justify your people in spending not less than $50,000 in high school building. Bear in mind that your community, as all other communities, must build more for the future than for the pres ent. At the increase in high school attendance for the next six years, as on above basis, you will have to accommodate 150 to 200 pupils. Pine Bluff built a high school in 1908 at a cost of S150,000, equipments included, to accommodate 800 pupils, when five years ago we had IFS. Now we have in the second year 309 pupils, and the fact is apparent
