City Election

The city election last Monday
passed off very quietly, there be-
ing but one ticket in the field,
and while previous to election
day there was rumor that the
names of certain parties would
be written IN, nothing of that
nature materialized. The elec-
ton is over now, and the present
Mayor and one Councilman are
all of the present administration
who were candidates for re-elec.
ton. While there may be
those who think that a complete
change in the City administra-
ton would have been better, and
that two tickets would have bet.
ter secured an expression of the
people, it is too late now to La
ment the fact that such was not
the case. All there is left to do
is to accept the result as it is,
and regardless of whether or
not you are pleased with the out
come, get busy and boost. If
you have grievance, report it
to the proper authority, and if
as public officials. they do not do
their duty in adjusting matters,
then when time to nominate a
City ticket rolls around again, il
is your privilege as citizens, to
nominate men whom you think
will better fill their places.
Following is the ticket:
Mayor S. d. Adams
| Councllmen
E. w. Fletcher

A New Court House

Perhaps before this issue of
The News reaches you, rumors
of new Court House will have
preceded it. Now before you
are misinfor med, or before you
form the, opinion that such an
improvement, would mean a
drain on the taxpayers, we will
endeayor to place the facts be-
fore you, just as they are.
No forceful argument is neces-
sary to convince the average
person that new court house
is necessary, = if for no other
reason than that for years the
court room has been considered
unsafe when crowded, and for
other reasons which it IS un-
necessary to enumerate.
AS Taxpayers, you are inter-
ested in knowing what a new
building would cost and how the
money would be raised.
The assessed valuation of all
the property in Meade county is
ten million dollars.
The cost of a new court house
including the buying of few
more lots, would be 100000, and
this amount would also include
steel fixtures and Jail.
The cost can be paid by levy
ling taxes or by issuing bonds.
If by levying taxes, a levy of four
mills on the dollar this year and
two mills on the dollar in 1916
would be sufficient. In other
words, this means, $500 on the
average quarter section in 1915
and $500 in 1916.
If raised by the issuing of
bonds, the bonds to be saleabe
would have to run twenty years
and the interest would be five
per cent, or $4,000 a year, and in
twenty years $4,000 interest
would be paid, provided none Of
the bonds we're paid before ma.
turIty, so the levying of taxes
would be the cheaper by just one
half. More Information regard.
ing this question will appear in
this paper IN future issues.

Considering the earlyness of

The early sown wheat is up

while that sown little later is

Annual School Meeting

Next Friday, April 9th is the
day for the annual School Meet
ing of this district and the same
will be held in the high school
building,
AS was stated in a recent is.
sue of The News, several Impor-
tant issues are to come before
this meeting, and they are mat
ters for the taxpayers to decide,
matters which you should weigh
carefully and study from all
points Of of the issue, that the
ultimate decision of the meeting
may be for what is best for the
school and the taxpayers as
we'll.
This meeting should not re-
suit IN what might be termed a
fight for supremacy by any one
clique or faction for such play
would be detrimental to the best
interests of our school. Rather
than this, the meeting should
afford opportunity for friendly
discussion of all matters per-
tanning to conservative upbuild
ing and betterment of the school.
No other public institution in
terests the general public as
yitally as the school. 1t is pub
lie ipstitutisn in which we are
all interested.
The problem of more room is
before us and must be threshed
out at this time. 1t seems that
some sort of building will have
10 be erected.
There is no reason why every
taxpayer in the district should
not be present to lend their as
slstance in devising some means
of overcoming the difficulties.
There is one impression prev
alent which we believe ought tC
be corrected. 1t seems that ;
number of our people have the
idea that the present schoo
building will be condemned ant
cannot be used. This is by M
means the case. The only par
of the present building that can
not be used, is the south-eas
basement room, which is nov
occupied by the manual tram
ing classes. Other than that
the present building will serve
very nicely, but the question o
additional room for the grade:
is what you must ponder over.
