Authorization of $200,000 Issue for School Purposes Will
Be Added to General Issue, Mayor Promises; the
School Board, After Discussion, Accepts the
Proposal of Mayor; Committee Re-
ports High School in Good
Condition.
FOi. once mayor C B. Kelly forgot
to rcb his chin in bis character
istic manner. "What you want
and what you can get are two differ
ent things," declared mayor C B. Kelly.
The mayor looked first at R. J. Tighe.
superintendent of the elty schools and
then at each member of the school
board gathered around tlie table In the
school auditor's office Saturday night.
It was the occasion of the meeting for
thp purpose of arranging the prelim
inaries of a bond issue for the building
of the proposed high school.
Superintendent Tighe made a rough
estimate that the city schools would
need J6C4.000. Of that amount, ?320.000
would be for the erection of the new
building. $161,000 would be expended
in adding 4n rooms to the elementary
schools, meaning the lnstalation in the
public schools of vocational training,
complete in every particular. The sum
of J50.0H0 wojld be for repairs. Super
intendent Ti?ne stated that those
Rhom he had interviewed on the suB
ject of vocational training had ex
pressed themselves as being heartily

water. It needs sanitary conditions.
It needs streets. .
"The schools," the mayorvent on.
"are but a wing of tha city." what kind
of a city can you build without water
or sanitary conditions? Those are the
two most important things in the life
of a city. Water comes first, sanitary
conditions next, and schools, third. If
you have the water and the sanitary
conditions the schools are bound to
come. I take as much Interest in the
schools as anyone."
"Mr. mayor, would it be possible."
superintendent Tighe said, addressing
mayor Kelly, "by hook or crook to
push that bond issue up to ?759,0M)?"
The mayor's face flushed up. "No,
sir,"" he declared emphatically. "When
I went into office four years ago the
schools were behind $180,000. The
schools got $50,000 more than they
needed. It was given just to run the
schools. Now you are on a cash basis.
Three years ago you had $180,000 In
the banks. You had $19,000 when you
opened the schools this year. That was
last year's taxes.
Vrses Members to Get Tosether.
"You re getting ready to do just
what the people did when you were In
debt. Four years ago the city owed the
banks $294,000. In the first place should

be provided for every school child in
El Paso who wanted an education. The
proposed high school, the superintend
ent stated would have It rooms and
be complete in every respect. He ad
vocated the addition of a gymnasium
nd auditorium, stating that, of course,
these added features would greatly in
crease the expense.
Beard Glad to Get 9200,000.
Before the mayor finished his talk
the school board gladly accepted the
5100 000 he offered to be used for the
purpose of erecting the first unit of
-, toAAnn hirt school building. Just
as a starter on the $500,000 high school
fcuilding," said ClatDorne Adams.
"How much can we get next year?"
H R McClintock asked mayor Kelly.
"You tad better wait until next year
comes," replied the mayor. ,,.
"Do you think it wise to spendll
that monev on the high school?" su
perintendent Tighe asked the members
of the board. After a discussion it
teas decided that the motion should
specify that the amount was to be ex
pended for the purpose of school build- t ings.
issued the attorney ceneral would not
approve them. You could not spll them.
"There is no reason," said the mayor
addressing all the members present,
"yhv we could not get together in a
minute and decide to spend what
r'oney you can get. If you are willing J
to accept tne szuu.ouv to ouna tne nrst
unit of the high school, I will include
that amount in the ordinance which
will be presented next Thursday ask
ing for the election on the proposition
of issuing bonds for the 'water and
sewer departments."
"I agree with you in one thing," Dr.
E. H. Irvln said to the mayor, "and
that is, I do not want to go in debt. I
know what that is, and how I had to
work with the others to get out. I also
know that you cannot build a high
school for $100,000. I am not in favor
of putting up an inferior building, one
that would have to be replaced."
After a further discussion it was
agreed to accept the mayor's proposi
tion. On motion of Mr. Adams, Trost
& Trost were appointed architects to
look after the matter of school build
ings.
Means Bond Election Soon.
The ma or's promise that the schools
are to h&-. e $200,000 means that the
c.tizens at an early date will be voting
on the question of the city's issuing
5500,000 worth of municipal bonds. In
the ordinance which is scheduled to
come up for its first reading Thursday,
aside from the $200,000 for the schools,
1150 000 will be specified for the water
works department and $100,000 for the
sewer department. The sm of $50,000
will be kept in reserve The ordinance
will authorize an election on the issu
ance of the bonds, and then it will be
up to the voters on election day.
" Mr. Tighe's plea for $604,000 for
school purposes was based on the lack
of school facilities and accommoda
tions In the arious districts, he "said,
there were 3500 school children who
could not be admitted to school. In the
plans he suggested, 1500 of these were
taken care of There were 2000 cut out
"Have these 2000 applied for admis
sion to the school?" mayor Kelly asked
him. . ,
"No, but as fast as we open a school
room it is filled." Tighe said.
Cost ot Equipment.
Superintendent Tighe figured that
the equipment of the $320,000 high
school would cost $15,000 and the beat
ing plant, $10 000. The sum of $50,000
would be needed for repairs on the
present school buildings.
He stated that by the middle of Jan
uarv there would be 80 or 70 pupils en
tering the high school and he did not
know how thev would be accommo
dated Putting in partitions in the
present rooms of the high school was
his only suggestion.
"The question, I think," said Mr.
Adams, "is, how much can the city af
ford to spend'"
"The full bonding power of the city,"
said the maior. "is $500,000, just $104.
000 less than the professor's figures."
Superintendent Tighe after figuring
for a while thought the bond issue
could be made
Tt Rate 1V1II Be S1.SS, Says Mayor.
' Not under our system," the mayor
aured him "Professor," the mayor
continued, "vou are in a good deal
poorer community than you think you
are I believe that all propertv should

then hare a less tax rate. But the min
tite vou would raise the valuations you

the valuations have not been increased

property valuation of the city which.

Bnllclinir Safe, Committee Reports.
After the motion was passed, mayor
Kelly said: "Gentlemen, you need not
be afraid about the safety of your
high school. The committee I appoint
ed Saturday morning reported that the
building was as safe as it could be.
You know I was in hopes that they
would not find that building alright,
for this reason: because the Times re
porter had said that the building was
not safe and was not sanitary- Had
the committee found such to be the
case I was going to give that reporter
the jobs of Dr. Anderson and Ted Bart
lett. J figured that he must be a doc
tor, a health officer and a building in
spector and, therefore, a mighty smart
man."
"When I first read
the Daoer." said J. E. Morgan.
It seriously. But when I turned it
over in my mind and found that the
patrons were all satisfied and not in
the least worried I thought that It
would be useless to make any reply."
Before the meeting finally broke up
the mayor took a gentle slap at the
school teachers. "I understand," he
said, "that the teachers have b.een in
structing the pupils to write these let
ters t the Times. One child brought
one of these letters to me. It had been
framed up for him. This ought to be
stopped. It is doing nothing but cre
ating dissension and furthering no
purpose. If I was professor," and the
mayor looked at superintendent Tighe,
"I would stop this,"
"I understand," said superintendent
Tighe, "that they have a boosters' club
and naturally the children 'want the
high school."
"I don't think that it is any of the
teachers' business," hotly declared
Frank Simmons.
J. T. Grant and C R. Brownlie, health
officers, who were appointed by mayor
Kelly Saturday to inspect the high
school, reported that each room had
been inspected and found to be clean
and well ventilated. The sanitary con
ditions they reported were all right.
A. E. Bartiett, building inspector and
N. A. Comstock. assistant building in
spector reported that the building was
in first class condition, with the ex
ception Of a few minor repairs.
Sanitary Conditions Improved.
As to the sanitary conditions, Ed
ward Kneezell, A. H. Thorman and
Frank Powers, found that the changes
made in the heating and ventilation of
the building, had, in connection with
the changes made in the location of
the toilet rooms, added greatly to the
present unsatisfactory conditions com
plained of. The committee recommend
ed that the growth of the city demand
ed a building more commodius than
the present building affords or that it
was ever intended to. As to the safety
of the building the committee reported
there was no question as to Its stability.
Alice in Wonderland was produced
by the children of the Lamar school
Saturday afternoon at the Crawford
theater. The performance was splen
didly given and established a record
for amateur performances, because not
once did a child have to be prompted.
All of the children entered so enthusi
astically and spontaneously into the
spirit of the quaint little play that
there was no one particular star. Clio
Russell, as Alice, made a very winsome
heroine and had a remarkably good
stage presence Her enunciation was
very good. After her solo in the third
act she was presented with a large bo
quet of roses. Lowdon Wingo made the
part of the turtle irreslstably droll and
got a good deal of fun out of the role
himself. His costume was capital, with
a turtle shell back. His scenes with
the gryphon, played by Charles Over
street, were very amusing. The
gryphon looked his name. He had red
wings and a long tail that had to be
neiu up wnen ne danced.
Lois McChesney was very good In the
part of the Duchess, and in one of the
intermissions recited "Billy says" quite
cleverly. Robert Page Meyers, as the
white rabbit, acted the fussy little
courtier perfectly. His costume was of
white with a tabard of red hearts and
a little trumpet.
Willard Brown made a jaunty, rakish
March hare. He was a brown rabbit,
with a scarlet vest and black coat, and
his long brown ears flapped very ex
pressively. The Cheshire cat, played
by Blythe Johnson, and the dormouse,
acted by Jack Lewis, were both well
done and excellently costumed. Madi
son Mudd. as the king of heart, strutted
about with appropriate dignity, and his
queen. Maybelle Cunningham, put just
the right amount of temper into her
part with her frequent orders of "cut
off their heads." The cook was played
by Bartow Morris. Charles Thurston
was the hatter; Hurley Griffith, the
knave of hearts: Henry Kidwell, the
executioner, and William Bias and Cecil
Boyd, the guards.
Choruses Are RewKchlng.
The play opened with the chorus of
fairies, led by Elizabeth Hudspeth as
tne rairy queen. The fairies were: 4
Virginia Gardner, Marjone Congdon,
Margaret Hamel, Margaret Gibson, Hel
en Winters. Martha Langston. Lorraine
Wheeler. Edna May Schresfler, Eliza
beth Kenton and Gladys Pr,lmm. The
fairies were bewitchingly costumed in
fluffy white and tinsels, with dainty,
fluttery wings. Their graceful dancing
about the sleeping Alice was one of the
prettiest pictures of the play.
The sneezing chorus of girls, in Pier
rot costumes, was a big hit. Those tak
ing part wjre: Sophia Williams, Dan
Ella Burke. Marguerite Protho. Victo
ria Leascb, Pauline Leasch, Willie John
son, Bernice Clark. Christiana Adams,
Madeline Burney and Ruby Henry.
The white rabbit chorus was very
well given, the. costumes being as cute
as could be. Henry Thomas was the
hunter and Joseph Osborne, Clifford
Heffler, Rudell Parker. Wendell Carton,
Elvis Lee. Robert Gibson, Thomas Phil
lips, James Witholder, J. C. Holford,
Claude Hudspeth, Gregory Kranzthor,
Harris Hennlng and Richard Finley,
the rabbits.
Another very effective scene was the
chorus of the pack of cards and the
dance of the cards and courtiers, which
was perfectly acted. Those taking part
in this were: William Bias, Cecil Boyd,
John Crockett, Wilfred Kranzthor, Hu
bert Littleton, Henry Kidwell, Robson
