existing, and you will also find
that we have applications that
we are discouraging, owing to
the present congestion.
The ~" property can be turn
ed into q modern school building
at an approximate cost Of So, 600
and will take care Of between
300 and 400 scholars. The origi-
nal cost to US was SIS. 900, of
which s. 1000 will be paid in cash
and the balance paid next year
without raising our taxes to do
so. Can you shut your eyes to
such a proposition? | don't think
you can and | know the city
council did not. The matter of
location has been discussed, and
in reply to this will call your at
tention to the location of additi-
onal school buildings in towns as
large as Tupelo, and much larger.
The class of students to be sent
to the "" building will be the
larger ones, and the location will
in no way affect them. The
present tennis court and grounds
are ample for exercise, etc.
We must take care of our
school children, and to do this an
additional building must be Sc
cured and secured at once. We
could not possibly build one for
less than $40, 900 and the build
ing could not be completed in
less than IL or 18 months. TO
pay for this building a bond issue
would be necessary, and no bond
issue will carry in Tupelo in
either the near or far future. The
people of Tupelo on May 6, 1916.
purchased the ~" and it is up
to the city council to take care
of it. We can purchase and
equip the building for approx
mately $4,000, and have one of
the incest school buildings in the
state. We can pay for the
building without any sort of a
bond issue and without raising
our taxes. Would you for one
minute think of turning down a
proposition like this.
Concluding. will say | am not
writing this article to defend
myself in voting for the "Y'
school. 1t is just simply a state
ment of facts 1t may be of
some information to some of you
t. know that those people on the
Y" note had no idea whatever
of my intention to vote for the
proposition, and none of them
even mentioned the matter to me
in any manner, directly or indi-
recrly. No member of the coun-
ell had ever talked or suggested
the matter to me, and my vote
was not influenced in any wav
by anyone.

The Famous ~"

The Y. M. C A. building will
be converted into a school build
ing to relieve the congested con-
dition now existing in the Tupelo
schools, and to take care Of the
school children for the next sew.
erah years. The City Council SO
decided at their regular meeting,
Tuesday evening March 9th.
Several of my friends have asked
why | voted for the proposition,
and / have answered them, set
ting forth the following facts,
which very few seem to realize
or know.
An election was held May 6,
1916, to decide whether or not the
city wanted to purchase the ~"
If you will remember, the voters
said BUY" and the city was,
therefore, pledged to purchase.
On August 18th another election
was held to make the purchase
by a bond issue. The voters said
we do not want a bond issue"
and the proposed bond issue was
defeated, leaving it up to the city
to raise the amount in some
other way, and the only other
way was to pay cash. | voted
against the purchase, and also
against the bond issue, and would
do so again, but | did vote in
favor of converting the ~" into
q school building. 1st-because
the city had purchased it on May
9th and we had to pay for it.
2nd-because of the congested
conditions of our present school
buildings.
| have been giving this school
matter considerable study during
the past two months, and do not
hesitate to say, the present con-
ditions are very unsatisfactory,
and | would suggest that you go
to the main school building and
investigate. before passing an
opinion on the subject.
Some of you might say we
should build an additional build
ing on the present school grounds.
Let's see about this. The present
building cost US s32, 900 and the
money was raised by a bond
issue. A new building as large
as the ~" or a new building
similar to our present one will
cost us now, owing to the high
price of material-S4O. 000-and
to pay for the new building an
other bond issue will be neces-
sary. and you know as we'll as the
writer, no bond issue of any kind
will be tolerated by US at the
present time, Then too, we could
not possibly build the new build
ing within the next twelve
months. as it is practically i'm
possible to secure the necessary
steel. iron and general building
material. In the meantime our
children would be compelled to
stay in the present school build
ing, in some rooms almost like
sardines in a can. If you don't
believe this go out and investigate
and you will find such conditions

FIFTEEN DEFEATS ARE
MARKED BY One TALLY
Grifmen Show Lack Of Punch
When Hits Count.

The Griffs, losing yesterdays holi

down in the coal bin for fair.
The Griffs have lost nine straight
games, IL that tie game in Chicago is
not reckoned in the list
The Griffs yesterday afternoon
hungzup their hfteenth defeatsof the
season by one run.
The GrIffs have lost twenty FIVE
games, and, therefore, three-fifths OF
their total of defeats have been by
the slim margin OF one run.
Jim Shaw essayed to turn back the
but he failed. He was wild and any
thing but effective. Bader. opposing
him, was not much better, but the
Griffs could do nothing with him
when hits might have changed the
complexion Of things.
A walk, hit batsman. two scratch
hits. and a sacrifice gave the enemy
two runs in the first inning. and they
never lost their lead. In the sixth
three hits gave the Red Sox their
third tally, which was enough TO give
them the victory.
Rice's walk and steal. followed by
Morgan's dinky bingle to left. scored
the Griffs' first run in the third. In
the seventh Rice walked. took second
on a wild heave, and Tailed on Nor
gan's smite to center.
