HIGk yd 1,9UfOsITION

The Rio Blanco County High
School Board and the committee ap-
pointed at the previous meeting, met
at the Court house Wednesday after.
noon March 10Th, to further consider
county high school matters.
At the meeting held on March oath
a committee from the Taxpayers Ad.
visory committee was appointed to go
into matters ip detail.
This committee was composed of Mr.
Reuben Oldland OF Meeker, Mr. r II
Crawford. Powell Park. and 2 A
Hauser Of Strawberry school. It's dut-
les were to advise as to the advisibil-
ity Of erecting new high school
building and the amount OF bonds to
be called for. 1t will be remembered
that at the meeting held on March
24th, 1t was the unanimous verdict of
all present that 1t would be a waste
Of money to try to repair. remodel or
enlarge the present high school build
ing. Therefore. 1t was thought, the
best thing possible to do was to put
the matter up to the people of the
county BY calling for bond issue.
After consulting with a number OF
the largest taxpayers 1t was determin-
ed to call for at $4,000 bond ISSUE 1t
may not be necessary to dispose Of
this amount. II acceptable plans can
he secured many favor erecting say
the central part Of the building now
and the wings later, as needed.
Another meeting of the high school
board and advisory committee will be
held on Saturday April 18th. All mem
bers of the Advisory committee are
urged to attend this meeting. when 1t
Is hoped definite plans will be pre-
sented.
Mr. r G Graham was appointed as n
committee Of one to confer with the
Town Council and see II Meeker will
provide cite for proposed high school
building. Many citizens favor turning
over the town park as a cite for the
new structure.
In connection with this vital school
matter, The Herald ures all qualified
voters to turn out at the coming school
election In May and elect men and
women as members Of the various
boards In whom you have confidence;
and, later, when the county superin
tendeat Of school calls the mambers OF
the deferent district boards to meet
In Meeker to elect 4 new high school
board, see to 1t that the district
boards attend to this duty. Remem-
her. taxpayers and all interested In
school matters, everything is in your
hands. The present high school hoard
goes out Of once last Of May. What
ever II done in the way Of providing
adequate high school privileges for
Rio Blanco county will be done un-
der the management of the incoming
high school board.

THE TOWN ELECTION
BOND ISSUE WINS

The most important town election
in the history of Meeker took place on
Tuesday, April 4th. The selection or
u mayor and town council was lost
sight Of In the more important aues-
tion of whether the town woul re-
sumo its electric light franchise or
part with 1t forever. BY q decisive
majority the qualified taxpayers wise
ly decided In favor Of holding on TO
the franchise.
As soon as some legal matters are
ironed out the town will take over
the light plant; lease 1t for 10 or ~
years; instead Of paying $3.50 for very
poor street lighting will get Its street
lights free and have a net income
from the plant Of over 5000 a'yenr.
And there were some supposedly In
telligent people who favored giving
the towns advantages away.
Following Is the vote on the bond
question and town officers:
