Community Club Has on1lof Best
Meetings in Year.---Baelktss School School B Board

The Arvada Community Club had
on eof the best meetings held in
many months last Tuesday evening.
There was good representation
of not only business men, but those
interested in the community's well
fare of the community.
The main purpose of the meeting
was to hear n report Of the commit
tee on Home Coming Day, "but aft
err that part of the work was done
other things Of interest were discuss
ed at length.
Mr.. Recht, chairman Of the COM
mittee, reported that the committee
had met Monday evening, and after
learning of the big celebration to be
held in Denver on "Armistics Day."
November IL, had decided it would
be well to change the date and Sat-
urday, November LIST, was the day
fixed by unanimous vote of the
Club.
The committee has not fully de-
cided upon the features Of entertain
ment, but it is believed that the after
noon, beginning at about two o'clock
with outdoor sports and games in
which the soldier boys will be invited
to join, will be carried out and that
supper will be served to the soldier
boys at about six o'clock p. M, in
Barth Hall. 1t was also thought that
another supper might be served at
Grange hall, or Bank hall, or some
place, by some ladies organization, to
accommodate those who help swell
crowd. It was thought to be out of
tho question to feed all who come
free. or that Barth Hall would take
care Of the crowd that is expected to
join in the gala day fete.
It is probable that in the evening,
after the boys have been treated to
q real feed" an entertainment will
be given that will meet with their full
expectations. Many suggestions were
made, but the committee, which con-
'slsts 81 5Svek meh from the club and
several ladies'. was given free hand
to prepare suitable entertainment.
After all these things had been dis
posed Of, a report from the members
OF the School Board was had, Presi-
dent Foster, Secretary Weber and
Treasurer Munal being present. DIR.
Foster was called away, and Mr. Mu-
nal and Mr.. Webbcr explained the
predicament the District is in ut the
present time. The bids on the build
ing were opened ut the meeting call
cd for that purpose, and the advisory
committee was called in for consulta-
ton. AS has been generally cxpcc-
ted, the bids did not come within the
amount of money furnished by the
bond issue, but the nearest possible
bid for completing what was actually
necessary, to accommodate the school
was something over $4,000. The
School Board and the Advisory com
mittee were -plussed To know the
next move To make. because the bond
issue voted upon was only $40. 900,
and the people no doubt will be
disappointed when they lcnrn that il
Is not enough money to build the
building complete. But the contrac-
tor explained that had the bids been
let in July or the cnrlypart Of Au-
gust, about the time of the election,
tho building might have been erected
within the amount specified, but that
since then prices ON material have
taken another big jump, md labor to
$1.O0 per day more, 10 that the bid
Is merely in proportion to the in
crcnScd cost of materials. labor. ctc.,
The members of the School Board
and the advisory committee felt TINT
there WINS nothing To be gnincd by
further delay. So. the School Board
decided to put the matter before the
Community to get nm expression
from the Club ms TO how IL felt on
the proposition Of going ahead with
out further delay and depending up
on the patrons OF the District To vote
additional bonds. before the building
IN finished. The contractor, Mr..
Criss. who has just completed the
Holyokc school building. could go
right to work, and have the building
under roof by January Ist. lie is nj
