MARIETTA IS GRADE 1
SCHOOL ON STATE LIST
Has Improved Points Toward
Being Placed On Southern
Accredited Group.

Marietta High School maintains its
place in group one of the State list of
Accredited Schools.
Unfortunately, it has never regain
ed its place, lost some years ago, on
the Southern Accredited list of
schools. This position was lost on
accound of lack of proper laboratory
facilities, poor Library and too many
pupils to the teacher. Since the
Clarke Library has had so many
standard books of reference, etc.,
added to it, and has been made a
public library; and since the Labora-
tory has been improved, those two
obstacles have been removed. But
there are still entirely too many pu-
pills to each teacher; and until Mari
eta wakes to the need of more room
and more money for more teachers
in her High School, she will be omit
ted from the Southern list.
Gainesville, Cedartown, Rome and
Dalton, all of the Seventh District,
are on this list. Why can't Marietta
be there.
Local interest is growing in the
schools and it is generally hoped that
Marietta will soon regain her place
on the Southern list.

ROTAR|ANS HAVE
BRILLIANT DINNER
Invite Wives, Daughters And
Sweethearts 70 Installation
Program.
PULL AMUSING STUNTS
Ladies Are Given Presents Repre-
senting Line Of Business Of
- Members.

|&One OF the most brilliant affairs
yet pulled off by the Local Rotary
club was the installation program
Tuesday night at the golf club. The
attendance was nearly 100 per cent
not including the wives daughters,
sweethearts and friends of the Rota-
rians. The Club was beautifully de-
corated IN pink and lavender, roses
and irises being the flowers used.
The first thing on the program was
a delicious dinner, served in grand
style by pretty Marietta girls. At
each place was fancy cap, differing
in color with every hue Of the rain
bow. This added greatly to the at
tractiveness Of the gay tables not to
mention enhapcing the appearance Of
the guests.
Soon litter the guests were seated
the stunts began and everybody won-
defed what would be next. A lemon
and rose race was an opener and Ro-
tartan Len Baldwin and Mrs. NJ, L.
McNeel were the winners--or victims
may be more appropriate.
It had been previously arranged
that each Rotarian bring present re-
presenting his lire of business, and
these present were to be drawn by
the ladies present. The name of each
Rotarian was sealed in an envelope
and placed in hat to be drawn. The
lady drawing a Rotarian's name was
to receive the present he had provi-
ded, Conglomoration is the word to
express the presents arranged on a
large table for the ladies. They ram
ged all the way from box of candy
to a ton of coal
After part of the fun was over
two very distinguished Rotarians, Mr..
Bert Adams, Past international Pre-
sident and Mr. Tom Law president Of
1 the Atlanta club were introduced to
the meeting. Mr.. Adams made a
short talk and complimented MIR.
Hancock, the retiring president of
the local club on his success as head
Of the Marietta club. Mr.. Law OPEN
ed his remarks by stating that he had
been elected president of the Attain
ia club because he could not talk,
then showed the folly Of his fellow
Rotarian's scheme by making an in
teresting talk.
Last but by no means least, came
the installation of the new officers.
Mr.. Adrian Cortelyon, president; DR..
I. A. White, vice-president; Atty.
Charlie Brown, secretary. After
these men had taken the Rotary OBJ
legation Mr.. Cortelyou outlined the
policy of the Rotary club for the
coming year and appealed to his fell
low Rotarians to assist him in keep
ing up the Rotary standards.
The following were announced as

to complete the Verde water project control of the Cave creek flood wat CTS, construction of an armory, a police signal and alarm system, and paving along city property.
 Of these, the proposed issue of s1T5,000 to complete the Verde water project Is considered the most important. The original issue for the Verde project, voted in 1919, was for s1,300,0 900, which it was estimated would be sufficient to complete the work The entire project is now practically complete save for the in take and filtration systems on the Verde river. The s175,000 issue, if endorsed by members of the con- mission and voters, will provide for the completion of these important phases, it was declared.
 One hundred thousand dollars is proposed in an issue to control flood waters from Cave creek. Members of the Water Users association and the chamber of commerce recently ap- peared before the commission and asked the cooperation of the city to make this much needed improvement. The last legislature, they pointed out, had set aside a large sum to aid in the work, while funds from the Water Users association also were available. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage has been done in the city and surrounding community dur ing the past few years by Cave creek flood waters, it is estimated.
 Twenty thousand dollars will prob ably be asked for a police signal alarm and reporting system such as is used in the larger cities of the country The local department has been seriously handicapped for years because of the poor system now in use, it is stated, and need for an automatic signal and alarm system long has been felt.
 Another issue to be considered at the special meeting today is for s50,0 to be used in constructing state armory in Phoenix. An addi- tional s20,000 will be utilized to re- imburse the general fund for the purchase of the American Legion park at Seventh and Polk streets as a site for the armory.

PLEDGE
 IF THE BUILDERS

The Builders exchange meeting held Tuesday evening was attended by large crowd of the prominent builders and contractors of Phoenix, all pledging their moral support in a concerted effort to give the public greatest efficiency in the construc- tion line The public building pro- gram now in progress was gone over in detail and discussed from a finan cial angle. President Tracy outlined the bond issue which will be brought before the public today and called on the exchange as a body to support this movement in the fullest extent, as 1t will mean an expenditure within 50 days of more than $435,O00, which will be turned immediately back into the hands of Phoenix. It will give employment to hundreds of work in turn allowing them to spend and keep in circulation this much needed cash. The items brought before the exchange were: The Verde water system, si75 900: the Cave creek flood control. s1O0,00o; armory, which is needed badly. s50,000; athletic park, s4o,0o0; additional paving, s50,00O; police alarm system, S20,0 All the above expenditures will react directly on our population. Mir. Tracy also explained that, including the schools and other public work contemplated a $2,000.o00 program will be under way soon, to last throughout the summer months. It Is also under stood that Warren Brothers have at the present enough paving work to keep them busy for a period of more than two years, which all speaks well for local conditions at this time.

 There could hardly be any more falsehoods placed in the same words than are contained in the charge that l assisted a prisoner to escape from the Buckeye jail" said Dr. Hughes, Sr., last night. T would slap the authors face if it were not for hurt ing my hand, and I would take my boot to him good and plenty if it were not for soiling my boot.
 The boy got into a little trouble and l went down to see about it. found everything all right. I did not leave the doors unlocked; that charge is absolutely untrue. Knowing the authors reputation for truth and ve- racity to be thoroughly established, am willing to let the matter rest as 1t is."

The city is especially anxious to pave in front of the city water works on Ninth street, along Van Ruren street from First to Second avenues, the south side of Van Buren street from Seventh to Fifteenth avenues, and the north half of Woodland avenue from Seventh to Fifteenth avenues.
