At the called meeting Of the tax
payers Of School District No. 2, at
the High School building Monday
night, which was we'll attended, the
following persons were chosen to CO
operate with the School Board in the
selection Of = suitable location and
other matters pertaining to the new
High School building for which the
bonds were voted week ago Mon
day:
Walter P. Smith, Griffith.
Walter T. Daigle, Oberon.
John L. Miller, northeast of town.
A. L. Davis and R. o. Graves. Of
Arvada.
Walter P. Smith while not wishing
to shirk public duty, felt that he
could not very well serve on the COM
mittee, and nominated Thomas Bot
terill, very prominent business man
Of Griffith. At the time Mr.. Smiths
remarka were not taken seriously as
to his serving on the committee, and
he was elected. Since, however, he
has rendered his resignation because
he is in the real estate business, and
did not want to be accused of work.
ing some deal to his own interest.
Mr.. Botterill will be asked to fill the
vacancy, and in asmuch a, he is an
entirely disinterested person, and is
known to be man of sound judg-
ment and thoro business integrity,
he should make q very desirable
member Of the committee.
DR.. E. L. Foster, president of the
Board. called the meeting to order
and announced the purpose, which As
all remember, was to make good the
promise made by the Board before
the bond election, in order to salts
fy certain critics, who claimed to be
opposed to allowing the School Trus-
tees 10 handle the funds and attend
to the entire work Of selecting q site
and building = school building.
The work in hand-was soon dis
posed Of, and DR.. Foster then an
nouneed that he would entertain q
motion TO adjourn. F. R. Schellen-
ger arose and stated that he was un-
der the impression that q discussion
~ to the location Of the building
was to be had At this meeting, but
DR.. Foster told him he had been mis-
informed on that point, and q motion
was then made to adjourn.
Some criticism was heard after the
meeting because . discussion was
not permitted, and the discussions
which followed in groups about the
school house, soon convinced most Of
the listeners Of the wise diplomacy
Of the chairman Of the meeting, for
unfortunately, at this present mo-
msnt on two seem to have very we'll
defined idsas, either - to the most
suitable location or - to the amount
Of ground necessary to make q sat

Some favor Nelba gardens. while
Others think that d out Of all con.
alteration. Others think that a plot
Of ground near the new park, posi-
bly, the Ysaeer place. would be the
most attractive place that could be
found. because II would be near the
park and near the tramway. Still
Others think that opposite the park
on Luther Secrsst's tract would be
the ideal spot. And still others are
Of the opinion that at the corner Of
Wordsworth and Ralston Is the most
suitable place. And. 20 the arRu-

Now. ladies and gentlemen, how
would you like to be assigned to the
task Of selecting . sits and take the
chance Of being accused Of having
been influenced by some Interior
motives? Already we have been told
to our face that 1--WE" have been
hired to falsify In the interests Of q
few "crooks" who were going to ret
some pscunfary benefits out Of the
school house deal. Two or three Of
our hitherto very good friends-at
