Flood at Higli School
Prolinlilu Cnrelessness of Student
Causes Coiistmintlon and
Slight I.os.s.
When Janitor Scurlo opened the
high school building on Tuesday
morning, ho thought that Noah's ex
perience was being repeated. Water
was dropping through tho celling and
running down the walls Into tho hall
way, the gym and tho domestic
scionco room In the basement, and
running out oiTto the floors, Oolng
to tho next floor ho found tho samo
conultlon, streams coming down tho
wails and through the hall celling.
tioing to tho next floor ho soon dls
cocrou tho causo to be due to Bomo
one having letl open the tap of tho
lire hyurnut.
i'no hyurnnt is Ideated In the hall
way nuil tho constant uso of this part
or iho building seems to hnvo caused
It to settle, thus restricting tho
flooded area chiefly to tho hallway
proper. Tho same condition existed
on tho middle floor, though somo
went over tho door sill Into tho as
sembly room. When tho water reached
the lower floor there was no other
escape, so It overflowed Into the gym
nnd tliu scionco room, covering only
n part ot these floors.
now tho accident came to happen
no one sccius to know. Apparently
somu thoughtless student opened tho
nro tap ana finding no water careless
ly loft it open. When tho lawn sprln
kioih ana water wagons nro being
operated down town tho water will
not How out of tho taps on tho upper
floor, and with only n low pressuro on
tho lower ones.
Tho only damage done Is where tho
water ran down and discolored tho
walls and caused somo plaster to drop
off tho ceilings of tho hallways. This
will probably amount to less than
$100 nnd can bo repaired by rcplas
terlng tho, ceillngRfcmidjaBlngtafllUJlo
calcimine. " "" T "? ""
On this account tho students had a
holiday Tuesday.
One thing has been established by
the accident, and that is that the (Ire
protection Is too Inadequate for such
n aluahlo building an tho high school,
and It should bo remedied lr possible.
Owing to tho many reports' being
circulated aboat tfio damage the trus
tees have Issued tho following state
ment, signed by tho architect and
builder of the school:
"We, tho undersigned, as n commit
tee having been nsked to mako a re
port of tho damage dono by tjio water
at tho high school building Monday
night, beg to report as follows:
"The wntor ran from tho Arc hy
drant on tho upper floor and sprend
over about one-third of that hallway
floor and soaked the two ceilings be
low. It ran over nlwul one-sixth tho
gjm floor and somo llttlo In ono or
two class rooms, and discolored tho
walls In a place or two.
"In tho main hall tho lop coat or
plaster lias fallen olT on a spot about
a foot snunro. There will likely bo
moio come off Inter.
"In tho main hall, whom the water
dripped on some pictures, the wall la
slightly streaked.
"On n whole, from all present ap
pearance, tho damage will bo slight.
Respectfully. ,,,.

polici: m:i:iikik
A movement In being agitated to
have the city appoint an extra ulgiit
pollwmiin. It appears that tho peoplo
agitating the question think Hint
there Is work for both the city mar
shal, the present night police nni
also mi additional one. It Is polntrd
out that many strangers an; com In,
to our city, and not all or them nu
of tho moiil desirable class. That the
work at night often calls for iiimo
help than one man can give, it i.
also pointed mil that violators o thr
prohibition laws can easily keep rases
on the present olllelnls, and that an
other man Is needed In this respect.
Crrtnin It Is that the best way to keep
crooks out of a town nnd Jo w;i,,'MM
fully regulnte those- already them is
lo have a good elllclent pollen force.
Library Movement
To Be Resurrected
1W of Male Librarian L'nth.rsrs
lommlltiT, nim win it(MulllU.
'I heir Marts
Tliu movement Tor securing the cB.
tnbllolinieiit of a Carnegie library for
American Fork has been mused back
to health again and will now bo
pushed lo a successful conclusion
Tho medicine Hint seemingly has
worked tho miracle was the visit of
Miss Downey here !ist Monday and
her talk in the Second Ward meeting
house. The lady Is girted talker and
Impresses her hearers with tho Idea
that what she says Is true Her lalk
was deoted on how to get books and
how to keep them.
She ndvocnted the commencement
or a library even before a Cumeglo
building was erected, saying thnt Jt
was or great Importance to have the
library spirit worked up In ndvanco
of securing the building. She told of
the catching of the library fever by
borne other town getting It llrst. When
Mantl got a library ICphralm wanted
one. When the little town or Unrlnnd
made application ror one costing $10,
000, llrlgliain City asked ror one cost
ing $L'0.000.
Tho committee having the matter
in charge will now redouble their ef
forts to secure signatures to tho peti
tions, which already are numerously
signed, and then the city council will
call a special election.
No community Is educationally com
plete without a public library. It Is
the people's college. It fills tho gap
that now exists In our educational
system, olTcrlng to both children and
parents a chance to continue their edu
cation when they arc out of bchool.
It reinforces the school, tho homo nnd
the church In their efforts to uplift
humanity. It Is the best kind of sub
stitute for the saloon and the street
corner, It gives to a community the
book leadership It miiBt have, and It
makes Tor all a center or uplifting,
refining Influences.
As to the expense or maintaining
a library; It Is the least expensive
or all the educational Institutions,
For a city tho size oi American Fork
lr a tax levy ot ono mill, which would
mean not moro than fifty cents to ono
dollar were made, the library could
bo splendidly maintained and tho
city could havo for the nsklng, jOli
brnryntldiiig?tCn'd-of"10,O6u. Tilh,
Carnegie will give such a fund pro
vided tho peoplo agree to maintain
the library. Wo do not know how
long this generous offering will re
main open. The question Is not, "Can
you afford It?" It is rather, "Can you
afford to do without It 7" Would It
be worth a dollar a year to each rani
lly lo have the privilege or going any
day to the library blocked with two
or three thousand good books? Would
it not save parents money, rather than
add to their burdens to have the pri
vilege or getting magazines, papers
anil books rree whenever they wish
ed? Would not the poorest homes get
tho greatest benefit?
Many other towns and cities in our
stato hove decided that the library
Is worth while. They have been wil
ling to tax themselves to maiutalti
one. Already 15 libraries agrcga
llng in cost more ilian $250,000 hnvo
been built or aro being built In Salt
Lake City, Ogden, Provo, Eureka,
Tooele. Cedar City, Garland, Parowan,
St. George, Illchlleld, Mantl, Price.
Klchiuoiiil mid Ephrnlm
We suggest that you write lo these
cities and llnd out what they think of
the advantages of the library. This
Is your problem. Faco it as you will.

In tho ease of American Fork City
vs. Joseph Ingcrsoll for tho Illicit sale
of liquor, tried beforo Justice Nlelson
Inst Saturday, tho Jury brought In a
verdict of not guilty.
The Jury consisted of Mark llczzaut,
T. V Corbet t, Alma Rowley and Jar
vis Adelott. Judgo Whltccotton rep
lesented the city and Jacob Kvans
represented Ingersoll. A. L. Woodruff
testllbd Unit he purchased the liquor,
which was drunk by Heber Wilds,
William Smith, a young man named
llrown and himself, Drown, who bad
previously acknowledged lo tho mayor
(hat In- Imd purchased liquor from
Ingersoll, refused lo go on tho stand,
and as Wilds and Smith testified thai
they weie present when Woodruff was
tliere but h"d neither drank nor pur--hased
any liquor, there was nothing
ror the jury to do but return tho ver
dict which was given.
A curious coincidence connected
with the affair was the visit or In
uersoll in Judge Nlelson prior lo the
trial and his asking the JiibIIco If
some settlement rould not be made
without going to trial; that he would
rather give the clly the money Ilian
give it to a lawyer.
