An editorial outlines six main points on the Roswell Independent School District bond measure. It cites Yucca Middle School’s aging structure and safety concerns, the need to close if unsafe, the burden of expanding grades six to eight into other middle schools, and the likelihood of half day schedules without new classrooms. It argues for additional middle school classrooms despite tax opposition.

State traffic data center lags as MVD delays slow progress
The partly completed state central traffic safety record center remains stalled as a $60,000 federal grant waits for the Motor Vehicle Department to provide input and a long range plan. Officials cite data cleanups, faulty records, and reorganizations as key bottlenecks. The project aims for a workable master file by early 1973 with merged driver records and citations. The MVD budget stands at 2.91 million for next year, with 232 current staff and a 251 peak.
