Fl. S. STUDENTS TO
GET STATE AID

PHOENIX, Jan. 9.-Ari-
zona high schools may draw
state and county school
funds for postgraduate high
school students who are in
attendance and following
courses regularly operated
for undergraduates, it was
announced this week by
John w. Murphy, assistant
attorney general. The an
nouncement came in the form
of an oral opinion to H. E.
Hendrix, superintendent of
public instruction.
The amounts to be re-
ceived by the high school
for such attendance is exact
ly the same as that received
for undergraduate h j G h
school pupils. If the post
graduate pupil is registered
for four full-unit courses, the
attendance shall be consid-
cred a full day for each day
the pupil is present in the
school. For only one unit,
the attendance would be
considered one-fourth day.
The opinion was sought
by the state superintendent
as a result of a request for
information by G. E. Rose,
city superintendent Of
schools at Tucson. County
superintendent of schools
throughout the state have
been notified of the opinion.

KEN-WAL PARK
HAS FIRE

A fire broke out in Ken
Wal Park in North Coolidge
last Thursday, supposed to
originate from some boys
playing there, when a light
ed match was probably
dropped into the dry grass
and weeds. The fire was
brought under control be-
fore it spread to adjoining
trees and nearby residences
by back firing. A few nice
trees and palms were de-
stroyed.
1t seems that it would be
a beneficial action on the
part of the citizenship or
some civic organization to
clean this park of dead
weeds and dry grass. There
are valuable trees and shrub
berry there that should be
protected and the hazard of
fire destruction of homes in
that vicinity is very great.
1t requires attention and
cooperation to take care of
such matters.

Response Indicates Greater
Success Than Last
Year

The Birthday Ball for the
President is now being ar
ranged and the program
seems to meet the enthusias-
tic approval of the commu-
nifty. 1t is quite natural that
the normal citizen enjoys a
pleasant evening; likewise,
he feels the satisfaction of a
deed we'll done when he
helps some innocent unfor-
tunate. Both of these de-
sires may be satiated at the
Presidents Birthday Ball at
the Legion hall in Coolidge
on the night of January 80.
Chairman Paul Hobby ad-
vises that he is receiving CO.
operation of local clubs and
civic organizations who are
anxious to assist in this
event with a feeling of salts
faction that they have a part
in contributing to a most de-
serving cause.
A characteristic of the
American people is that they
come to the aid of those in
distress.

nounce full list of commit
teemen next week.

High School Board Busy On
Details, Ask For
Bids Soon

Plans for the new Coolidge
High School building have
been discussed at three
meetings of the Board of
Trustees recently and with
Principal Mangum and Ar
chitect Bell in attendance.
AS soon as plans are made
efficiently for printing. they
will be placed on public ex-
hibit in Coolidge.
Funds which will be avail
able by the P. w. A. loan
and grant amount to $105,-
$4,000. Of this amount
47,450.00 is a grant and
S58.OOO.OO must be covered
by bonds of the district. The
grant of S47,450.00 gives
just that much more to use
on the school building than
any other method of financ-
ing the proposition and the
District is very fortunate to
secure the P. w. A. loan and
grant.
Even with this sizeable
amount for the work, it is
hard to decide Just what to
put in and what to leave out.
The main building is planned
for two floors and to have
twelve class rooms with ad-
ditional rooms for Principal,
teachers, st u d y. library,
wash rooms. etc. Plans pro-
vide for a large auditorium
at the south end of the main
building and a gymnasium
at the north end of the
main building and a gymna-
sium at the north end of the
building. While the entire
building might be construct
ed with the money available.
there are other items of cost
to be considered. namely
Purchase of lands, S8,-
10000.
Furniture and equipment,
S7.50O.OO to S10,000.00. .
Improvement of grounds
and athletic fields, $1,000.
The lands must. of course,
be paid for out of the P. w.
A. funds. The purchase of
furniture and equipment and
Improvement of the grounds
might be paid for by an in
creased levy of taxation
against the school district
and thus allow a larger ex-
penditure for the building.
Other alternatives are to
build an auditorium with a
level floor that can be used
for school social events and
for basket ball in place of
having a slopfng floor audi
torium and a separate room
for the social events and ath-
letics.
The board feels that it
will be a long time before
any more funds will be
available for building pur-
poses, that the high school
attendance will increase
rapidly, that as much of the
available funds as possible
should be used to get ade-
quate quarters and that it
might be better to increase
the annual school levy to
buy furniture than to cut
down on the building pro-
gram.
In any event the main
building which will provide
class rooms, ETC., for $50 or
more pupils. will be COM
pleted in the building pro-
gram and such other accom-
modations as may be built
based ON the prices bid for
the construction contract.
If everything can be had
for the money, the district
will have a fine and COM
plete school building. Even
if it is necessary to cut down
on the auditorium plans, the
school will still be we'll pro-
vided for in the available
space which can be secured.
Comments on the proposed
schemes will be welcomed.

FEDERAL RESERVE
EXCESS OPPOSED
Advisory Council Suggests
Use of Cash Carried
Above Legal Limit.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Renewing its warning that excess
bank reserves hold possibilities Of in
flation, the Federal Advisory Council
recommended yesterday that they be
greatly reduced or eliminated.
A spokesman for the Federal Re-
serve Board, which received the recon-
mendation without public comment,
said the councils position was virtual
ly identical with the one it took last
November. ,. ---..
At that time, the council reported
1t was strongly of the opinion that,
In order to obviate the probability OF
an undue and dangerous credit in
flation, it is desirable from every point
OF view to eliminate or at least greatly
reduce the excess reserve now being
carried in the system"
Under the law, banks in the Fed
eral Reserve System must keep per-
centage of their deposits in liquid
form with Federal Reserve banks. At
present, they have $1,000, 100000 in
excess of legal requirements on de-
posit with the Federal Reserve. This
represents a surplus of loanable bank
funds, and some economists, say it
could provide base for 10 times
that amount in credit.
Two Methods Suggested.
The council in November told the
old Federal Reserve Board the ex-
cess reserves could be reduced by two
methods:
/. Sale Of Government bonds by
Federal Reserve banks.
Commercial banks presumably
would use their idle money to pur-
chase the Government securities
placed on sale. The Federal Reserve
now holds about $2,240,000,000 in
Government obligations)
2. Action by the Federal Reserve
Board to raise reserve requirements.
Doubling Of the present require
ments, it was said, would practically
wipe out the present surplus of
loanable funds, or excess reserves.)
- Decline Either Course.
Following the November meeting,
the board declined to pursue either
of the recommended steps. Since
then, however, there have been these
developments affecting the situation:
/. The Federal Reserve Board
stiffened stock market margin require
ments by 20 per cent, a move inter-
preted by some as intended to ap-
ply the brakes to any boom in security
prices.
2. The Treasury is keeping more
than $500,000,0o0 of Government
funds on deposit in Federal Reserve
banks, rather than in commercial
banks. Observers say this policy has
the effect Of decreasing excess reserve;
by that amount.
8. About s30,OO0,0Oo in gold has
been shipped from the country re-
Gently. The former constant stream
of incoming gold was said to have
had much to do with the jump in
excess reserves.
