Mayor Lamb States Emphatically
Position as to New High School,
Says Expense Should Be Shared.

principally to help the adjacent towns.
In nearly everything for which the city
has expended money thus far, from the
waterworks to the shoe factories, they
have shared the advantages and had
none of the expense. The need for more
room, as | understand 1t, is brought
about by the increased number of tut
ton scholars. 1t would cost the city
as | figure it. just about double to run
a new and larger school. The money
now expended by the city for the High
school is about $1,000. With new build
ing on the outskirts of the town. we
should he obliged to go back to the one
session and this would mean the add
ing of at least one new teacher to the
number already employed at Il prob
able cost of $500 per year. Adding to
this, interest at $500 sinking fund for
the payment of the building at $4,000
increased cost of heating and lighting
at least $500, extra on janitor's salary Of
5000, thus costing the city nearly double
the amount now expended.
ION the other hand, the expenditure
of a comparatively small amount in re-
pairs, the present High school build
ing could be used by Gardiner pupils,
without being oVer-crowded FOR the
next or 10 years and at much less eX-
pense to the city, each year If we had
no tuition pupils we could. no doubt,
reduce the teaching force by at least
one Subtracting this from the $4,000
which we receive. each year, for tuition,
it would cost the city $500 more "a year
than at present.
"As an illustration of the benefits 10

tries Of Gardiner, | would call your at
tcntion to the fact that with the new

which | am told employs over coo
lands. the number of our real estate
owners hats slightly decreased and the
number of people have been increased
ofiy u or ~ per cent. over last year,
thus showing that the other towns are
getting rather more than we from
cur added industries. If we were un-
able To take out-of-town scholars, 1t
would perhaps in the end work to the
eit&'s advantage, as | know of ono or
two families now who are trying To
secure rents in Gardiner before the fail
term of school, in order that their chill
dren may be sure of entering our High
school

The question of the ACCESSIBILITY of
the erection of new High school
building by the city of Gardiner is one
of the most important that has been
before the citizens for some time.
That the city needs one is unquestion-
ed. That the present building can new
er be 50 reconstructed as to meet the
needs of the pupils is a question of
grave doubt. 1t can be made to AN
swer' for some few years. it is true,
but in these days when the education
of the young is making such vast i'm
provement, will the city be doing its
duty to its children if it fails to keep
UP With the other cities of our State =?
II an interview with the Journal re-
porter, Mayor Lamb stated his posi-
ton in tie matter tersely and to the
point. The mayor is heartily in favor
of a new and modern building for the
High school and hopes that the city
can have building that will be not
only a credit to the city but fulfil all
the requirements of a modern school
Under the present condition of the
city's finances and remembering the
losing by fire and other causes, more
buildings than are being erected, neces-
stating each year a slight increase in
the burden of taxation, the mayor
thinks that the matter should be thor
oughiy discussed before committing
the taxpayers to an increased tax rate,
and in this all agree.
IF, said the mayor. we are to build
a new High school building. il would
seem to be wise to do one of two things.
either form a school district. com
prising all the surrounding towns, who
low depend upon the Gardiner High
school TO" tie education of their pu-
pills, or il this is not feasible, have our
sec if these towns care to
make a contract with Gardiner for a
term of years. for the tuition Of their
pupils. In such case the amount of tut
ton should be based upon the actual
cost per pupil this To include interest
on the cost of the new building. heat
ing. lighting. teachers salaries. etc. in
fact the total cost of running the new
school, divided by the number of pu-
pills"
IF some such arrangement as this
is not possible, | do not see why Car
diner should exrend $4,000 or 500, 000

of the House, that Rep. James McDer-

gave 10 per cent of the total, said his
acquaintance with Rep. MeDermott
was slight and his conversation with
him about the loans bill was only cas-

Heidenhamer and Horning agreed
that part of the fund they raised to de-

Horning said he contributed 1926 to the
committee and that $500 of this amount
WAS taken from the common fund. He
said National Committeeman Costello of

hands. but the principal argument was
not reached in this instalment of the
document.
In the meantime news that subse
quently Mr.. Lind had resumed nego-
tiations with .Huerta, inspired feel
ing hope that something tangible
might result from the interchange OF
Views. There WAS an under current
of skeptcism among some officials,
however, who were inclined to credit
Senior Greiutia. Mexican minister OF
the Interior, with the responsibility
for the reports published today, that
recognition had been demanded of the
United States with a threat of sever
ing relations between the two coun-
tries.
At the White House and state depart
ment the denial authorized by Provision
al President Hnerta was accepted. Re-
ports of friction in the Huerta cabinet,
however were current and Ureiutias al
legged declarations were cited in official
circles as possible evidence of friction
It was pointed out that Ureiutia had is
sued the first statement declaring that
Mr.. Lind would not be received unless
he brought credentials recognizing the
Huerta government. This position later
was repudiated not only by Federico
Giamboa, minister of foreign relations,
but by Provisional President Huerta as
we'll It is believed here in some quar-
ters that Provisional President Huerta
has practically decided to resign in favor
of Senior Gamboa, with the intention of
being a candidate in the coming cleo
tions.
Constitutionaist representatives here
do not think anything definite will re-
suit from the present negotiations and
are pleading for the removal of the
American embargo on arms. Given per-
mission to buy munitions of war they
promise an early termination of HOSTILE
ties. Judgment was deferred until the
Mexican note had been received In full.
Additional parts of it were being receiv
ed during the night. The work of trans
lating 1t from Spanish into English and
placing it in cipher coupled with the
slow cable telegraph communication with
Mexico City made 1t probable that the
full extent would not be in hand before
late tomorrow

by John Lind. personal representative
of President Wilson in Mexico.
President Wilson and Sec. Bryan
had received during the past "A hours.
A summary from Mr.. Lind giving
briefly the Huerta governments re-
lection of the American proposals.
About 1000 words of the text of the
Huerta reply, reported to he 1000
words long.
A message from Mr.. Lind stating
that he had been in conference at an
early hour, today. with Provisional
President Huerta. that the interview
had been cordial and was brought
about at the suggestion of Huerta
himself.
A denial from Charge O'Shaughnes-
sy, authorized by Provisional Presi-
dent Huerta, declaring that there was
no truth in the report of an utimatum
demanding recognition from the Unit
ed states.
This information coming in diseon-
| neeted cipher messages, was given to
| members of the Senate committee on
foreign relations. Republicans as well
| as Democrats.
Officials though somewhat skepticai
of the outcome of the present negotia
lions. took the view that nothing could
be done by the United States at least
until Mr. Lind actually concluded his
parleys with Huerta and his cabinet
with whom the American envoy has
established pleasant unofficial rela-
| tons.
One thing that confused the situa-
| ton, today, was the fact that only tie
| first part of the Huerta note reject

received. This was couched in cordial
| terms, setting forth the reasons WIZ
