of Conejos County Sunday schools
was held in the Methodist church
at La Jara on Saturday and Sun
day, April Sth and 9th. The en-
thusiastic interest manifested in

Town trustees met Tuesday

iournment was taken until Wednes-
day morning when the board met
again with Mr.. f. A Mock, an at
torney for the D. g. R. g., to con-
slider an ordinance which the rail
road company desires passed before
beginning work on the new depot
at La Jara. The proposed ordin-
ance was read and ordered publish
ed. 1t will be found i'll another
column in this paper 1t vacates
strip 20 feet wide and two blocks
long on the west side of Broadway
which may be used by the railroad
company at some future time for
trackage purposes. 1t is the pur-
pose of the railroad company to
build the new depot on the north
side of Main street east of the track.
The company owns 80 feet there
but desires an additional 20 feet in
case they should find it necessary
to put in a switch on the east side
of the depot. This will leave Broad
way so feet wide including side
walks and knock the middle out of
the civic center but of course La
Jara needs a new depot much worse
than she needs civic center. The
ordinance will be passed at the
next regular meeting.
