OGDEN DOES WELL. ' 9 The people of the city of Ogden are to be congratulated heartil3' upon the public spirit and good .will towards their own best Interests which they have displayed dis-played in voting bonds for the construction con-struction of a high school in that city. Tho vote on Friday last authorizing the issue of $75,000 for building a high school was decisive, and a credit to the city. The amount called for is by no means large, aud yot, wjth other resources re-sources at tho command of the board, it will 3llow of the construction of a very fine, commodious building, well adapted to the purposes for which it is intended. It was well pointed out during tho campaign for the issue of theso bonds that the old high school quarters were sadly inadequate. Tho fact that the3' were so was personally known to tho hundreds of pupilB who attended that sqhool last year. This knowledge thej carried juto tho hundreds of liomes from which those pupils came, and natujally this had an effect favorable to tho issue is-sue of the bonds, upon those of tho adult members who were property ownr ers and competent to vote upon tho question. Inasmuch as tho liberality of Mr. and Mrs, Iviesel have relieved the board of the necessity of buyinc a site, tbjs public-spirited couplo having generously donated do-nated the site for the high school building, build-ing, all tho mone3' voted will be avail-ablo avail-ablo for construction purposes. And $75,000 will build a good school house, one that will be a great aid in the con venience of doing tho high school work, I both for the pupils and the teachers, will be an ornament to the locality in I which it is placed, and a pride to tho I wholo city.
