A. J. Recht Gives
Views on School.


The Editor of the Enterprise,
Dear SIR
AS you have kindly offered the
columns of your paper to the pat
rons of the School District for
the discussion of the proposed
Bond Issue to build a High School
building, wish to take advant-
age of this and give a few reasons
why l think the building of a
High School at this time is the
proper and right thing to do.
In 1900 the first half of our
present large building was erected
and in 1906 or 6 years later its
size was doubled, In the last nine
years no further school facilities
have been provided though for at
least two years the high school
portion of the school has been
suffering on account of lack of
room sufficiently to seat all schol-
as 70 say nothing of proper reci-
tation and laboratory rooms which
are considered just as necessary
now to the proper training in
high school subjects as desk
room.
Another thing l might point
out is the poor facilities provided
at the present time for the teach
ing of the first and second grades,
the building is very old, the rooms
small and poorly ventilated and
certainly not a credit to our COM
munity.
The prospect for the growth of
the town and district for the
coming few years will certainly
be as great as it has been during
the past few years and as the
value of an education is becoming
recognized more every day the
need for proper buildings will be
greater.
Naturally the question comes to
the taxpayea how much greater
will my taxes be if the proposed
bond issue comes and the whole
amount is needed to erect this
building.
Well. off hand l would say the
tax levy would not be increased
over mill considering the life
of the proposed bonds to be 20 to
80 years, which means they are
to be paid off 20 years
from now and can be paid in the
following 10 years so you can see
it is not likely that the present
generation will pay off any of
the bonds.
l understand from good finian-
cial sources that at the present
moment there is plenty of money
seeking investment in gilt edge
security such as these school
bonds will be.
Should we therefore wait and
let the we'll established reputa-
ton of our schools go down be-
cause we do not wish to give our
School Board. who are compelled
by law TO furnish proper school
facilities the funds needed to
keep our schools among the best
in the State and the country. |
say no, let US rather build ahead
and give the future generation
who is going to pay these bonds
the opportunities we ourselves
have not been able to get.
Very Earnestly,
A. J. RECHT.

Commercial Club
Has Good Meeting

uoO OUUu UCCUIS
The Arvada Commercial Climb
held an interesting meeting Mon
day night to discuss the needs of
the town and community in gen.
eral. Reports. heard from the
roads committee with reference
to North Wadsworth Avenue and
the Rollinsville scenic route
which is proposed by the State
Good Roads Association. Mr..
Staley reported that he and Mr..
Hurst accompanied party of
prominent Denver men on an in
spection trip to Leyden. thru
Oberon. and that they were great
ly pleased with it.
They asked Mr.. Staley to circu-
late a petition for donations from
those interested in this road to
provide for survey to be made
so that there would be no delay
when the 1916 ! mill tax levy
comes in. A committee compos-
ed of Mr.. Staley, Rob't. Swadley
and j. A. Hogan was appointed
by the chair to circulate the Pc
tition. 1t is declared by those
who have been over this route
that it will make one Of the
grandest trips by auto that can
possibly be found in all the beau
tlful mountain park routes. The
road would lead to Rollinsville
and Netherlands and back thru
Boulder. making a circuit for a
fine days drive for tourists. Its
would bring u great many tour
lists thru Arvada.
The irrigation ditch crossing
Wadsworth Avenue on the hill
: north of town is considered the
knottiest problem the road build
/. ers will have to solve in improv-
; ing Wadsworth Avenue, as it
causes an abrupt incline that can
only be overcome by a big fill be-
, tween it and the Moffat crossing
or by moving the ditch furth-
Y er up the hill. The railroad cross
4 ing is also a bad bump and to do
the thing right u All should be
made, but it will be an expensive
! proposition. The committee
will take the matter in hand.
, The school question was dis.
r cussed and it was the general
] opinion of those present that the
High school building should be
built. A committee to make in
vestigations regarding the actual
!, increase in taxes and the SUISSE
quent advantages of an up-to-
date High school, and report back
at next meeting which will be on
July 9th with n set of resolu-
tons to be adopted. In the mean
, time the result of their invcsti-
cations will be published in the
local papers. The committee APP
pointed by the char is A. j.
ltecht, w. w. Mobcrly and c. M.

A copy Of the Boulder News
