ANOTHER VIEWPOINT

From a commercial stand
point. the building Of the
Coolidge Union High school
will be a big factor. or
some sixteen thousand dol
lars il takes each year to
educate these students. very
little drifts back into the
community that supplies II.
With the school in operation
in Coolidge practically every
cent of this money would be
spent at home. With this
much additional money put
into circulation in Coolidge
every school year, IT Will
make for better business,
and is sure TO create more
employment. Some of this
money will be spent for
homes. This will add to the
employment in Coolidge. II
will add TO the Identification
of the city. It will add to
the volume of busines done
through our business houses
II will add to the tax rolls OF
our district, which will go far
in the supporting OF our
public institution.
Coolidge needs this money
needs to keep it in Cool
idge. Also Coolidge needs
the new citizens who will be
brought here by the opera,
ton of the high school IN
Coolidge. Any town needs
the kind of citizens who are
attracted there by the educa-
tional institutions. They are
usually of the very highest
type of citizenship, who take
a pride in building up then
community.
Lets keep Coolidge money
in Coolidge and build up our
town.

COOLIDGE TO STAGE GALA
BIRTHDAY PARTY THIS FALL
ClTY'S BIRTHDAY CAKE
TO HAVE TEN CANDLES
AT BIG CELEBRATION

The Coolidge Civic club
met last Monday night by
special call of the president
on the lawn at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Hobby.
There was a good repre-
sentation of the business men
of the town and the meeting
was called to order by the
president, DR.. Jackson.
By a vote of the body, the
club went into the election
of new officers the follow
ing officers being elected
Geo. Dell, president; J.
NJ. Hines, 1st vice-preident;
M. l.. Durham, End vice
president and c. c. Hamil-
ton, secretary and treasurer.
The most important mat
ter that came up before the
club was a plan to have a
celebration in Coolidge COM
memorating the 10th ami
versary of the founding of
Coolidge. 1t will be remem-
bered by the older residents
that in the summer of 1925
the original townsite of
Coolidge was laid out and
plated by R. J. Jones, since
which time the town has
made steady and rapid pro-
gress along all lines. People
were alert to the advantages
offered by this location and
settlement began immediate
ly which has continued
steadily. Being in the center
Of a rich farming district, its
possibilities were recognlz-
ed businesses and different
industries were established;
and the San Carlos irrigation
project came on to water the
land and greatly increase the
farming area, which hither-
to had been served by pump
ing plants. Upon a grease
wood desert of ten years ago
now stands the enterprislng
town of Coolidge with mod
ern buildings, substantial
businesses a population OF
1,4O0 progressive people, IN
the midst of one of the
richest farming districts in
the nation. 1t is but fitting
that a decade of such pheno-
menal progress should be
observed with appropriate
celebration.
The club selected Septem-
her 18th and 18th as an ap-
nropriate time for this cele-
bration the details Of which
will be taken up and worked
out in the near future.

men of affairs who have in

own to look after; yet they
are sacrificing personal inte-
rests in order to give this
district the best service of
which they are capable, and
are making progress in the
problems before them. They
are doing constructive work
and we join an approciative
public in commendation Of
their efforts. County At
torney Virgil Chandler is CO.
operating diligently to as
sist the board to dispatch the
volume of business they
have on hand. Virgii has the
necessary papers prepared to
file with the PWA board to
secure the building funds
and everything seems to be
going along in tip-top shape.
The board Will call for the
bond election very soon and
the machinery will be kept
well in motion. They have
under consideration the mat
ter of calling for 4 per
cent bond election which will
I be sufficient to take care of
the needs Of the district.
Based on the valuation of
the district, this levy will
produce 100000, which with
the PWA funds will provide
about 100000 for building
and grounds. After the site
lis naid for. this should leave
over 100000 for building
and ground improvement
which should be mcic than
enough. and the board plans
4 some reserve for emergencies
that may arise.

nix architects, with whom
the board contracted to
draw up plans for the build
ing. have delivered the plans
which have been approved
and ready to submit. There
are two sets Of plans. how
ever: one calls for one

shows a two story plan. The
sentiment of the board IS 10
exhibit these two plans to the
neople of the district and
adopt the popular one.
Both plans call for 8 class
rooms. being more than
sufficient for present needs,
but they are well justified IN
their vision Of multiple at
tendance in a few years, and
vet the plans easily allow
for addition. The estimated
high school attendance for
the coming year is 125. The
eight class class rooms wall
accommodate 800 pupils, and
it is the purpose Of the board
to extend the grammar
school the use of two rooms
for the seventh and eighth
grades to relieve the congest-
