Is The Opposition to Frame Buildings
Result of Dissatisfaction Over Election?

Another obstacle in the way
of this building program is the
refusal of the town board to give
a temporary permit to build them
on the primary grounds, it being
in the fire limits. Only four
trustees were present at a special
meeting Tuesday morning, be-
sides the mayor. 1t was tie
vote, Campbell and Williams vot-
ing aye and Sanderson and
Gorich voting nay. Mr.. Davis
voted nay thus defeating the
motion.
While the board was strictly
within its authority, yet some
think that the proposition for the
benefit Of the school was differ.
ent from that of an individual
and that a temporary permit
should have been granted.
1t is either a case of building
these temporary buildings or
turn pupils away from the high
school. The buttons last year
were nearly 81, 900 and it would
be committing crime against
the good name of our school and
the interest Of the taxpayers of
the district to shut the doors of
the high school to those outside
the district.
Now as to the tax commission
it is supposed to be non-partisan
in its administration and the
fact that it is now generally
known that certain politicians
have visited it personally for the
express purpose OF Locking the
proposed plan of the school
board, may, in its final ramif-
cations furnish grounds for i'm
parchment of the acts of its
members, and the undue activity
Of the said politicians may mean
the handwriting on the wall next
November.

ANONYMOUSLY defeated by a vote
of more than two to one, the
Arvada Sun, which seems to
represent an element Of for
Minister'S" to the present school
board, stated that the bond is
sue was defeated because of dis
satisfaction which grew out of
the election of school director.
The Sun further averred that
every movement made for the
betterment of school conditions
would be opposed by the same
element until their grievance
was adjusted.
Everyone who has taken any
interest in school affairs knows
that this movement is decidedly
political. They also know it was
not strong enough to come out
in the open and fight its side of
the contention but it was and has
been strong enough, politically,
to place stumbling blocks in the
path Of the present school board.
We refer to the recent attempt
of the school board to do some
thing to alleviate the crowded
condition of the schools.
In Denver the system of build
ing one room frame buildings
has proved very satisfactory and
after looking into the matter the
school board decided this was the
thing to do for District No. 2.
In order to build the two frame
buildings proposed it was first
necessary to secure the consent
of the tax commission and in or
der to do this it was necessary
to have the petition signed by
the school board, the county su-
perintendent. the county COM
missioners, the county treasurer,
clerk, and assessor. The petit
ton was signed by all but Mr..
NeWcomb, the assessor, who, as
all know, is eX-school secretary,
having been succeeded by j. }.
Webber at the last. school cleo
ton. Mr.. Newcomb, while adj
hitting that something should
be done to relieve the congestion
of the schools, decided that he
would not sign the petition.
His action raises the question
of motive was it to carry out
the program Of opposition fore
Swallowed by the Arvada Sun,
was it for political effect, or was
it purely for personal reasons?
We hesitate to impugn Mr..
Newcomb's motives and we
trust that he believes he is act;
ing for the best interests 81
School District No. 2, but il
would seem that when his sigma
ture was the only one needed tc
complete the petition that he
should have a very pronounced
reason for refusing to sign it.
Surely he would not stoop tc
use his elective Office to thwart
the interests of the people who
entrusted him with the office.
Another very significant evi.
dence that some political inilu.
ence has been brought to bear
on the school situation is that
when the tax commission was
first visited they indicated, ac.
cording to President Minges,
that the request would doubtless
be granted, but on the second
visit the commission revealed the
fact that some pressure had been
brought to bear in opposition to
the raising of 50, 800 by special
levy, and in a couple OF days d
letter Of refusal with the figures
distorted from 81. 500 to Sl2 SOC
increase. was received.
This made the board think
that perhaps a clerical error was
responsible for the refusal and
they went back to see them. but
were turned down very unccre'
