A MISTER BELLE VES WE NEED HIGH
 SCHOOLS
Although Heavy Taxpayer, He Is Willing to Pay His
 Share of Cost

"What this city needs more than any thing else in the way of public improve ments is a high school, and if the tax payers of Globe vote against a high school bond issue they are voting against their own best interests.''
 Such was the statement made to the Silver Belt yesterday by N. L. Amster, at the head of the Arizona Commercial Copper company and heavy taxpayer in this city.
 Mir. Amster holds that schools are one of the best investments community can make, and they are not only direct benefit to the children of the tax payers, but are an advertising feature which will draw many people.
 '' am heavy taxpayer in Globe and while l am not resident of this city, I would be more than willing to pay my proportion of the expense of erect ing new high school or any other schools that the city might need," con tinued Mr. Amster.
 "I am firm believer in the advan- tages of educational facilities and the people of Globe will not go wrong by coming to an early decision in favor of a high school bond issue.'
 Preparations for placing the high school bond issue before the people of this city are being rapidly completed by the members of the local school board and the high school committee of the chamber of commerce and it should be a matter of only short time until this very important proposition is submitted to the taxpayers of Globe.

.CULVERT COLLAPSES UNDER WEIGHT
 ON EARTH

Weighted down by mass or rock and and earth used to make fill in Suth erland street near Cottonwood, cul. vert eighty feet in length collapsed late Wednesday afternoon, nearly buryine two horses and two employees of the street department.
 The culvert was built several years ago and later enlarged and reinforced in order that a fill might be made in the street without blocking the natural watercourse during the rainy season. Since that time, the street department has hauled many thousands of loads of earth and rock to make fill over the culvert
 When an extra load of earth and rock was added to the fill Wednesday afternoon, the entire culvert collapsed with crash which aroused the neigh. bOrhoOd. The wagon was overturned and the horses were nearly buried. They were rescued however, and no damage was done except to the culvert.
