Announcement was made this
week by Mrs. Esta l.. Bayless OF
her candidacy for reelection as co
unity recorder of Pinal county, sub
ject to the action of the voters al
the primary election on September
13.
Basing her request for nomination
and rejection solely upon the rec
ord of her administration during the
past, Mrs. Bayless promises her
constituency nothing more than a
continuation of the efficient and
personaliZed service which has been
customary during her tenure.
For the first time in the history
of Pinal county the office of the
county recorder is being operated
for a sum no greater than the
amount annually received in rec
orders fees. That this is true OF
but one or two other Arizona CO.
unties is a distinct compliment to
the efficient and economical man
ner in which Mrs Bayless has con-
Quoted the affairs of her office.
This is not only true of the opera
ton and management of her office
but. in addition, Mrs. Bayless has
purchased all necessary equipment
and paid for needed maintenance
and repairs without the need of a
special levy or appropriation from
the general county fund.
Mrs. Bayless has been resident
of Casa Grande until she as
eumed the duties of county recorder
end her two young deputies are
native daughter not only of Arizona
but of Pinal county.

BY the early part of 1885 the
population of Coolidge and vicinity
had increased to a point where

necessary petitions and calling two
elections the Coolidge Union High
School District No. H4 was created
This district was composed of the
Coolidge and Mcdowell Grammar
school districts.
After a careful canvas of al
available building sites for a high
school an election was called to
determine the one most desired by
the community, and by a decisive
vote the present plot containing
twenty acres was chosen.
