UNION MEETING
OF Parent-Teachers Organizations
Has Been Suggested as Fitting
Close for the School Year

1t has been suggested that the
last meeting of the various parent
teachers associations in the Rocky
Ford school district be joint
affair, aud the suggestion is meet
ing with approval at the different
school meetings. If carried out,
as appears quite probable, the
union meeting will be held some
time near the close of the school
year.
The parent teachers meeting
held at the high school last Tues
day was not very well attended.
The papers were brisk and full of
interest. These meetings are held
for the benefit of all, and every
one present can gain new ideas
concerning the school.
The next meeting of the par
ents and teachers of the Liberty
school will be held in the Liberty
building next Tuesday, March rs
at 1870 p. IN. The topic for dis
cussion will be ''The Study and
Use of Books, by Miss Bernice
Engels. An open discussion will
follow. A special program has
been arranged; the first part being
devoted to music and the next
part given over TO the children of
the primary grades. This meet
ing should be well attended, for
the paper and the special program
will be both interesting and in
structive.
School Notes
The senior class have chosen their
invitations for commencement, which
will be held on May lS this year.
Some changes in the manner of taking
care of the audience has been talked
of, and will probably be adopted.
The seniors will start work on their
class play soon. The play for this year
will be Brown of Harvard" This
play has been staged with great sue
cess by many large high schools, and is
play specially adopted to high school
students. The characters for the play
have been chosen, so work will be
started with great vigor soon.
The teachers convention was held at
La Junta on Saturday. Most of the
teachers were present at this meeting
and the time was spent both with
profit and enjoyment.
The different classes have started
reading Shakespeare plays. The
freshmen class will read Midsummer
Nights Dream; the sophomores,
"The Merchant of Vernice"; the
seniors, Macbeth.
The seniors taking the commercial
course have been visiting the different
business houses of the city and gaining
some facts about business which can
only be learned by observation.
The botany class have been studying
the buds on the trees this week and
also studying the plants just starting
to grow.
The trigonometry class has had some
practice at surveying.
The quarterly reports were given
out Thursday and the students now
know how they stand in their school
work.

new CITY
HALL ASSURED
By Passage of Appropriation
Ordinance Providing Fund
PROPOSED PLANS
AND SPECIFICATIONS
OF the New Edifice Will Be Discussed
ut Adjourned Meeting Next
Tuesday Evening

The most important news that
The Enterprise has to impart
this week is that the appropria-
ton ordinance was passed at an
adjourned meeting of the city
council on Tuesday evening.
This ordinance, which had the
approval of the mayor and coun-
Gil, is now in full force and effect
and we believe will have the
hearty and almost unanimous ap-
proval of Rocky Ford citizens
something unique in the history
of like Observation-Disclosures it
creates the nucleus of fund for
the building of city hall, to take
the place of the rookery of which
we are all ashamed.
According to the spparent con-
census of opinion of the aldermen
when an adjourned meeting was
called for next Tuesday evening,
it is not proposed to waste any
time in getting to work upon the
new city hall, now that $4,000 will
be available for this purpose after
the first of next month, and tenta.
tive plans for the new building
will be the main topic at this
meeting, SO that working idea
may be given the architect right
away.
At the request of the bonding
company an amendment to the
refunding water bond ordinance
recently passed, making minor
change in one section, was passed
upon first reading and will be
found i'll this issue by anyone in
terested.
A petition carrying the names
of 260 taxpayers was presented to
the council at the meeting on
Tuesday night, praying for the
alleviation of the seepage trouble
in the southwestern portion of
city. As the cure proposed was
to have tile line carry the ''seep"
to the Rocky Ford ditch the petit
TONERS were informed that the
ditch company would not allow
for such infection, and that the
only method that could be EN-.
ployed, in the opinion of the
council, was to put down sewer,
which would mean the organiza-
tion of sewer district in the ln-
fected portion of the city.
> Aid. Deweese had new sched-
ule of prices for irrigation water
that appeared to be more equit-
able than the present, but to
make the change would mean a
new ordinance and other "red
tape" that could not be unwound
in less than two months, before
which all users of ditch water
must have their rental paid, so it
was decided to defer action until
next fall and collect the old price,
which is 81 for the first lot, 50 for
the next and 81 for each addition
al lot enbloc.
Council then adjourned to
Tuesday, March 2S.

collecting all the available metal in Vienna. Up to the beginning of the compulsory surrender of metals, vol untary surrenders will be received as they are made. After that the city will specify days of surrender for all persons with names beginning with the letters A, B, etc. At the conclu- sion of the collection there will be granted one-day leeway during which delinquents can explain why they have not turned in their posses sions.
 In case the owner of metal utensils subject to surrender cannot afford in advance to purchase substitutes, they will be purchased for him and their price deducted from the amount al lowed him for his copper or nickel things. If the latter is less than the cost of new material, the city will bear the difference unless the utensils he turns in are not in usable condi- ton.
