It had been the intention at that time for the board either to abandon the building program for Carbon county, or to launch a bond election, and take advantage of a federal grant outright of about $68,000, which would have to be matched by about $148,000 provided by school district bonds. It is reported that four members of the board held out for a lesser bond issue, enough to carry out the proposed building program at Price, and abandon the remainder of the program, which included a new building for Helper. The local member of the board, Henry H. Jones, entered strenuous objection, and by motion in parliamentary procedure, succeeded in blocking the exclusive Price program. 8 -- Hour Day in Mines As "Seen by Chez State's Attorney General Con strues It Meaning From Portal to Portal; Gives Rec ommendations. vice-preside- nt making arrangements with the Utah coal operators for a convention Immediately upon receipt of report of the outcome of the deliberations at Washington.
