The patrons and citizens of Glen
wood Springs are anxious to know
when they may expect the completion
of the new Junior High and Grade

year.

week Mr.. Groves is the architect
and supervisor of the work. He re-
ports that while there has been some
delay, the completion of the building
will be pushed rapidly and that he ex-
poets to have the building ready for
occupancy the first Monday in Sep
TENDER.
The lathing has been completed and
the plastering of some of the rooms
has been finished. Some of the mill
work has been shipped and floor laying
will begin next week Every effort
will be put forth that the building will
be ready for the opening of school on
time.
The school board and superintendent
feel that the emergency conditions for
the operation of successful schools de-
mands that unusual effort and means
be employed to complete the building
at the specified time. An emergency
existed which the school board had to
meet in the erection of building.

when prices were so much above nor
nal. The emergency still exists and
school should be opened this fall i'll
