At the Monday night school meeting in Greeley residents debated east and west side ward school buildings to ease crossing dangers and crowding. Directors urged central higher grade space and cost plans, with the board to report specifics after obtaining plans and estimates for future district action.
The discussion centers on best water source with Sanborn's Mountain reservoir plan favored for abundance and later filtration near Greeley. Critics warn against long open ditch routes due to warmth and contamination. Pipe connections to the main reservoir are urged despite higher costs. Also notes uncertainty about Blaine's health and candidacy with Allison or Gresham as leading western contenders.
The article discusses Senatorial prospects with Allison favored for the West, Sherman and Gresham strength, and W E Pabor taking editorship of the Denver Journal of Commerce. It also covers the annual School District No 6 election with 51 votes, reelecting A E Gipson, and a heated discussion on building needs including a two story plan, ward schools, and a $15 000 appropriation for southwest corner development.
Town board debates building a new ward school east of the railroad and a central high school. J L Brush proposes $20,000 for a new building plus existing debt, while others favor site plans and cost estimates from an architect before advancing resolutions. Adjournment follows after motions to secure sites and cost plans are adopted.
