Show IF THIS BE TREASON mm times dear sir P has bad ai othar mafs a meeting it appears to me th this last fric doting e ding wag gotten up for the express purpose of belittling or insulting the school board I 1 had supposed opposed that we SOCIAL selected a certain number of men who were fairly well qualified fled to take care of the school interests and they with the best judgement jud gement they had decided that the present school buil building dinst should be torn down inasmuch as aa it has haa been condemned by the state slate inspector and others as aa being entirety entirely unfit for a school house and furthermore the cost of refunding rei would be prohibitive I 1 had bad been much opposed to aa being torn down so you will pardon me for hanging changing my mind this once and accepting the school boards decision at least the majority of them as I 1 have some pretensions of being a law abiding citizen minding my own business and letting the school board mind theirs before this questionable school house was built the trustees in charge at that time were interfere red with in the legitimate discharge of their duties by a limited number of ambitious men who led the unthinking citizens and these gentlemen of leisure who get their education on the street corners and blacksmith shops into a great call down of the trustees who were in favor of engaging architects of well know ability and had built many school houses throughout the state at half or two thirds of what our failure cost none of them have been condemned and all are being used today I 1 do not put the entire blame on the designer he made some changes and alterations to please the street corner men from time to time as it was waa their custom to gather around and offer suggestions as to how it should be done and so the school house was built by mob law and mob law intends to have hae it stay where it to ia I 1 am pleased to see that the present contractor knows better than to be with theodle element his warning forbids them on the school grounds parowan carowan has had a very expensive lesson about school building but it has bas not profited by it experience is said to be a dear school but fools will learn in no other I 1 understand that injunctions have been filed in the district court against the action of the school board so I 1 will possess my soul in patience watchful waiting to we see what the outcome of tots inglorious business will be in conclusion let jet me say that if t the he obstructionists had bad not inter berred with the trub trustees eight gh ei ears ago there would have been a correct school housse built and no need of pulling down our beautiful school house home if this be treason treason make the most set of it ALEXANDER MATHESON |
