Progress Is Made ' On Hi School Plan SANDY, March 7. News from the office of the county superintendent says that the site donated by Ed. F. I'.runs and wife for a high school building is already a matter of record - the county recorder's office. How ever, this option Is for six months, only, and in case the voters of the union district to issue warrants fails, this valuable donation will be lost, as six months was considered suffi cient time in which to start building. The proposed building will probably cost about $30,000 and will be practi cally fire proof, and entirely modern, with full basement the plan includes a water system. A direct tax of four -or five mills to run four or five years will cover the expense of building. The tax rate sheet for 1921 shows that Marmot, Brightwood, Welches, Phone Day 1901 Night 99X J. E.
