II. S. Building
Needed Now

Since the Normal Trustees have pas.
sed resolution that II Is advisable that
GunnisOn county provide building for
its high school students, the voters can
hardly feel justified in voting against
the High School bond issue on May 7th
There il no building IN Gunnison that
would be IN any way adequate TO the
needs Of the County High School. 1t
seems more practIca! to build suitable
building for tins purpose than to buy or
rent one that l. not suitable On first
thought. So. 800 may seem more than is
necessary for thl, building. but when
the high cost Of building material. the
constant increase in the number of stu
dents and the variety Of courses offered
Is considered. it will be seen that this
sum ~ not eXorbitAnt.
Therefore vote for the High School
bond issue on May 7th.

From Standpoint Of Normal
Continued from Firs, Page

passed the following resolutions:
Resolved: That since the growt h
both Of the Gunnison County High
School and the Colorado State Norm a
School Is Gro wding the Normal School
building to such an extent that the
efficiency gf the work of both schoo
Is impaired, the Board of Trustee.
while assuring the patrons of the Gu.
nlsOn County High School of their de-
sire to continue the present u Ilually
beneficial cooperative relatious, deem
il advisable that the County High
School Committee should provide a
building of its own for the High ~chool
thus leaving the Normal School Build.
ing free for the exclusive use Of the
Normal School.
Anticipating the above action and
realizing the urgent need Of 4 High
School building, the County High
School Committee at their meeting on
February S, 1917, voted to submit to
the taxpayers the proposition Of vot-
ing bonds at the May election for the
erection of suitable High school
building. Thus the Boards of Control
of both institutions agree that the
time is at hand when the County High
school should be housed in its own
building.
The tax valuation of Gunnison coun-
ty is approximately Sl4,00O, 10000 A
S5,0OO.00 bond issue for ten years
would require a tax of about thirty.
five hundredths of mill. A conserva-
tive estimate of the value Of the aver
age home is 100000 The required
tax on such home would amount to
seve,lty cents a year. The financial
burden, therefore, would scarcely be
felt, and yet what an incalculable
amount of good would be accom-
plished by the increased facilities for
training the next generation of citi-
zens.

TO ask them to cut prices against each

ably do the work below cost is mighty
poor policy. In a political campaign.
when one party Is elected, the winning
side Is entitled to the patronage OF the
officers It helped elect, but with non
partisan board like our town council.
where nomination and election was har-
monlous and entirely without politics.
all the papers should be recognized as
they deserve. We hope the time never
will come when our town council will 90

newspaper is worthy of getting the
market value for the things it has to
sell.

 New London. Nov. -2.-Partial1y due to the unwarranted attacks by the purity committeeman upon the lnab1l- ity of General George Haven to en- force discipline and secure efficiency in the police department, after near ly thirty. years experience. and with the acknowledged ability to. command a brigade of troops, the general has resigned the position Of captain Of police of the city of New London to take effect with the New Year. The resignation has been accepted and the retirement will be under half pay, all that can be allowed under the local law, though it was stated in council meeting that the pay was inadequate. when the long and faithful service of the captain is given consideration. Perhaps the persistent newspaper crf- ticism' of the captain of police and the depa rtment in general speeded the captain to action, as he is very much adverse to being in the food1ight, be the rays favorable or u1savorable.
 LOW that Captain Haven has for .nally resigned to take effect in two months, out comes newspaper com 1nent to the effect that not only is the captain incompetent to command tine police, but that there is not a man on the force from lieutenant to sta- tion house keeper fitted for the place! Now that is going some. and some E1ore- If some newspaper writer is
 
 on police matters and is permitted to name the successor of Captain Ha- ven, and select him from the outside, then surely there must be something wrong with the powers that be in the department. The police committee was appointed by Mayor Rogers, it is presumed, by reason of their fitness to serve on that committee and with intelligence sufficient to do their full duty without the aid of the voice or the pen of any citizen. or anybody representing 8. certain bunch of dis satisfied citizens, dissatisfied, perhaps, for personal reasons. Some pretty strong statements have appeared in print touching the probity Of the lieu tenant of police. and it would not sur prise that when the present police tur- bulence subside, the captain may call his accuser to the front and centre and make him prove his allegations or take the consequences.
 There is little game in the works to make a substantial increase in the
