Bisbee, Ariz., Dec. 31.-Present indi-
cation are that it will not be long be-
fore a firstclass high school building
will be erected in this city. The mat

citizens in that the school board has
decided not to recommend the building
of the high school unless they are as
sured that the citizens wish it. A
number of the most prominent business
men IN the city have been interviewed
and all are favorable to the project
Mayor Williams. in speaking of the
project said: 4 am heartily in IA
YOr of the building OF the school. 9th

schools and find that it is a paying in

cannot be brought to a community IN
less they see that there is a firstclass
school system for their children and
no system is really complete without a
firstclass high school"

maintained in a room in one of the
graded schools and is causing much
congestion in the school
