'While there has been a heavy drain made on the finances for carrying on the schools, yet It Is believed by the taxpayers of this city that they have been managed with economy, dearness and with honesty of purpose. In 1890 (the year In which Ogden was set apart as a separate district), the district owned seven small buildings, with the number of rooms aggregating but seventeen, while twelve additional rooms were rented. At the present time the district owns sixteen large, handsome, modern school buildings. aggregating 110 rooms; none Is rented.
