PARENTS URGED TO HELP
SCHOOL ENUIMERATORS
Judge Edwards Writes of Importance
Of Census Now in Progress.

To the People of Dawson: The
school census OF the children of Daw-
son is now being taken by Messrs
T. J. Slade and ]. H. Whitchard. It
is vitality important to the schools
that the name of each and every child
in Dawson between the age of six
and eighteen be secured by the enum-
orators.
The money which is appropriated
for five years by the state of Georgia
to Dawson is based on this census.
Each child is entitled to at least five
dollars, and failure to be counted will
deprive the schools of that money.
l urge every child, every parent and
every citizen to see that not one is
missed, for each child overlooked
means five dollars additional tax on
the city OF Dawson.

land adjoining Garnet Mesa grade for
home site?'
Second: "Shall the city of Delta.
release Crawford avenue to Delta
county for purposes of Improvement
Third: "Shall the ordinance grant

which to build the Gunnison river
bridge?"

moved quickly and If some means of
better transportation could be brought
about it would be one of the greatest
things to help cut the overhead cost
of the farmers on this Mesa; 1t would
also tend to enable all the land
owners under the Gunnison Tunnel on
that Mesa to pay for the heavy water
charge.
Whether railroad spur could be
built from Delta out over this Mesa to
Montrose is the problem which now
confronts US. We believe with the
railroad in the hands of receiver and
the willingness of Federal Judge
Symes to make the road one of service
the people of the Uncompahgre Valley
should unite in an honest endeavor to
secure some relief.
