SCOTTSDALE VOTES
BONDS To ERECT
NEW HIGH SCHOOL

Bonds for purchasing ground, build
ing and equipping high school build
ings for this district carried on Sat
urday at an enthusiastic election by
a very large majority The same pro-
gressive spirit that has predominated
throughout the past two months,
when the four-year course was voted
on and again when the site was voted
on, was shown Saturday, when lS2
taxpayers of the district voted on the
$4,000 bond issue. The people of the
district realize that if ScottSdale is
to progress it must have more and
better equipped buildings. The larg-
est number that ever voted at an
election in Scottsdale cat votes for
it. At the last bond election in this
district a number of years ago five
votes were cast. SO the ballot on Sat
urday proved how the district has
grown.
The school board. consisting of
Charles Miller, president; G. NJ.
Loomis. clerk. and Walter Dom,
member, are going to do their best
to have the best for the money and
at the same time build with the idea
of adding on as conditions demand It.
The board has given considerable
time to the question of the proper
kind of buildings and have visited
the high schools of the valley and
have a number of architects drawing
plans and figuring on equipment. The
people of the district can rest assured
that the bond money will be economl-
cally spent.

that manner instead of each farmer
housing tI.F pickers On the ranch. he
stated that the expense attached TO
this would be about one-fourth a cent

the seed at the rate not to exceed
S225 a ton. This plan would enable
the association to collect the money
