THE QUESTION OF SITES

.
For the reason that there seems
to be a misunderstanding by the
people regarding the necessity for
holding second election TO choose
a site for the high school, we pub
lish the following communication
from the Board Of Trustees of School
District, No. /, which explains the
matter fully:
EDITOR GUARDIAN: In view of
the fact that an election was held
upon February %, 1914, to settle
on High School site for School
District, No. /, and the fact that
the Board of Trustees have decided
to hold another election upon the
question, we think it advisable that
we should explain our reasons for
the action taken.
In the first place, the election of
February 28th gave the trustees no
authority to purchase any tract OF
land. and it is absolutely necessary
before the Beebe tract could be
purchased that an election be held
in order to authorize the trustees to
purchase. If majority Of the vot'
ers favored some other tract. they
could refuse to authorize the board
to purchase the Beebe tract, and
another election would be necessary.
The election of February 28th was
not called by the Board of Trustees.
but by the County Superintendent:
thatitwasnota final decision upon the
site question is not the fault Of either
the County Superintendent or the
Board Of Trustees. If any one is at
fault, it is the Legislature that passed
the law.
In the second place, at the election
of February 28th. the two tracts
voted upon were not presented to
the voters in a business-like manner.
We had rumors, reports and state
ments concerning the price at which
the two tracts could be purchased.
No one knew the number Of acres
in either tract. The price reported
upon the Hampton tract, with one
side Of II cut off, so that it presum.
ably included from 8 to 10 acres,
was $4,650.00. This election came
on one week after the consolidation
election. There WAS no board of
trustees authorized to act, and IL was
impossible In the short time that
the matter had been up for consid-
GRAFTON to get options upon either
tract. Today, the trustees hold
options In the name Of the School
District upon both tracts. The price
of each is $4,50O.0O. Each tract has
been surveyed. The option upon
the Beebe tract calls for l4,68 acres;
these measurements are taken to the
center Of the road on both the south
and east. The option upon the
Hampton tract calls for l4,70 acres;
these measurements are taken to
the center Of the road on the wes,
and to the quarter quarter line on
the south, which Is about rs fee,
north of the fence. One share of
water goes with each tract.
In the third place, IL majority
of the people prefer the Hampton
tract at Mr.. Hsmpton's present
figures, there is no reason why they
should not be given an opportunity |
to say 30. II a majority still prefer

ayr to do the same for 4. IA acres
on the west side of that tract?
However, l do not think it advis-
able for the District to sell any part
of the tract. The school borrows
the money at Sd per cent and pays
no taxes. If we want to sell later,
that Ala acres is worth at least
$2,500.00.
Very truly,

upon a full vote after careful and
intelligent discussion before single
dollar has been expended, than it
would be to finally see that mis-
take had been made after we have
spent from $4,000 to $4,000 on
the property.
In the fourth place, we are unani-
mously of the opinion that at the
price Mr.. Hampton now offers his
property, it is much to be preferred
to the Beebe tract. Our reasons
for preferrihg the Hampton tract
may be briefly stated.
First, A building can be located
$50 feet farther from the railroad
on the Hampton tract than on the
Beehe tract. The advantages OF
this can be ascertained by talking
with pupils and teachers who notice
the annoyance Of even two freight
trains day at the present time on
account of the proximity of our old
school building to the railroad.
Secondly, This site will at once
be used not only for High School
building, but for a building that vii
accommodate children from the
south side of the district in the
lower grades, and for all pupils
above the 9th grade. In the future,
perhaps in ten years, perhaps in
twenty, perhaps in thirty, other
buildings may be necessary, and the
advantage in location with reference
to the center Of population is all in
favor of the Hampton tract. On
the Beebe tract you can build a
building in the southeast corner, and
as the proponents of this tract say.
il is only across the street from the
west side of the Hampton tract, but
when you come to build other build.
ings, as we have a right to suppose
the district may do at some future
time. you must go still farther west.
and still farther from the center of
population. -.
The assembly room, as planned in
the new building, will seat 200 pupils.
l, will be so equipped that it can be
used for public meetings, lectures
and entertainments; the school
library can be thrown open to the
public. The advantages of central
location can readily be seen.
We have no desire to dictate to
any voter how he shall cast his ballot
upon any of the questions to be pre-
sen,ed On May 18th. We recognize
the fact that there is room for honest
difference of opinion, and We hope
that The GUARDIAN, as public
spirited newspaper. will keep its
columns open to any one who has
argument to offer upon any prop
osition. We shall purchase that
tract receiving the greater number
of votes, provided we are so author.
lied by a majority vote. i
In the interest of higher and bet
ter education in the community, we
urge every voter to vote YES
upon the question as to whether or
not we shall purchase and build. We
urge every taxpayer to vote for the
bonds and help to build up a school
system in Stafford that will be second |
to none in the State. Upon the ex-
penditure of the money, we promise
the exercise of our best business
and experience. We may |
make mistakes, but we shall do our
best to see that the public gets value
received for every dollar expended. |
