El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1914-01-24

during the year I think the best
things for 1914 that are in view are
the improvements contemplated for
Washington Park, which will make
the park more attractive, more like
real city park, and a more pleasant
place for FL Paso TO take its rccrea-
ton. Perhaps the really most impor-
tant thing is the prospect of the new
high school building. Besides the
value OF the new school to the city,
as an educational training place for
its children the school viii bring more
good to the city from an advertising
standpoint than any thing else"
