The Strange Death of Carbon to Elect Representative the Bond Issue In State Body Exceed 1930 E Price-llclp- INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER ng n, The final vote climaxed three weeks of intense interest. The proposal to bond the city was a topic for discussion at numerous meetings of civic organizations. Opponents of the proposal based their arguments' on the fact that taxpayers of Price were being overburdened and that increasing the bonded indebtedness would place an undue hardship on the property - owners. The proponents of the issue, led by Mayor W. F. Olson, contended that building the concrete reservoir was necessary for the health of the community, that money for financing tlie project could be obtained at a very reasonable rate at the present time and that construction work would alleviate the unemployment situation. The vote in general was large for a bond issue. Tho vote showed almost a three to one sentiihent against bonding. Mayor W. F. Olson made the following statement to The Sun regarding 1 feel happy and greatly relieved of a big responsibility, in the defeat of the bond issue Saturday. My election pledge to you has been fulfilled and it was a question for you to debate. I abide with pleasure your decision. Who ever may have this question to handle in' the future, 1 promise to support in their efforts for the best good of the people. I have no regrets. It will take time for all to be convinced of my sincerity. The question has been decided for the present, but will always be before the people until the water conditions are solved. To my opponents, as well as my supporters, I wish you well and send my kindest and best regards. I am yours always for a bigger and better Price. : SECOND CHARGE New Complaint Filed Charging Auto Death Responsibility. A second eomplaint charging Thom- as Jenkins of Spring Canyon with involuntary manslaughter has been filed by County Attorney Walter C. Gease. Jenkins was the driver of an automobile which struck and fatally injured Dan Uzelae at Helper February 12. At a preliminary hearing held before Justice Byron Carter at Helper two weeks ago, he was absolved of blame for Uzelae a death. The second eomplaint is the. same as the first except that it alleges Jenkins, was driving under the influence of liquor at the time of the crash, whereas the first one contained no information regarding this. Jenkins was arraigned before Justice J. W. Hammond Tuesday at Price, and entered a plea of not guilty. His preliminary was set for Monday at 10 a. m. and he waa released furnishing bond of $1000. after . ..

Report Is Submitted to Board of Education. Explanation of the junior high pro- Superintendent Christensens sur- gram in the Carbon school district is contained in a report prepared by Superintendent W. W. Christensen and submitted, to the board of education. It waa compiled to show the comparison between the generally recognised plan and the old 8--4 plan. Both plans are in use in the Curbon district, and there was a feeling among some, of the school officials that the district should return to the old system. -3 vey explains the relative valuea of the two types of arrangement. The' report states: "A comparison of the courses of the two types of schools will convince the most critical that tho junior high school organization is vastly better fitted to train boya and girla for living in our modern civilization than the traditional eighth-grad- e school. The report further explains that the limiting factors of the junior high program are costs of bperation and number of pupils available, and that there should be at least 20 pupils in each of the three junior high grades to warrant the expense of providing special room facilities. Among items entering into the increased expehae is additional equipment, special rooms and salaried teachers. Aside : Judge F. E.

He is paralyzed on one .aide, and Considering these facts, the report explains, it is apparent that the Carbon district, with its large number of relatively small schools cannot support a junior high program unless consolidation of these numerous small junior high groups into larger units ia possible. Fortunately, the motorised school buses and good roads make sneh consolidation desirable from the standpoints of economy and child wet-fare- .
