School Board Meeting.The board of directors of school dis-
trict No. 1 held quite a lengthy sessionat the office of the secretary last nightAbout the main thing that was done atthe meeting was the adoption of theplans for the new building which is tobe erected this fall for school purposes.
A large number of plans were submit-ted for the inspection of the board, someof them coming from Denver and Colo-rado Springs and other outside cities.After carefully going over the entire listthe board finally adopted the set sub-mitted by Architect J. B. Boyer of thiscity as being the best in the number.
From 4 o’clock yesterday afternoonuntil after the midnight hour the memhers of the school board spent the timein carefully reviewing every detail of thevarious plana submitted, takiug intoconsideration each item of expense thatwould be incurred, and making their de-cision according to the plans that wereto the best interests of the county.
Among all the plans that were sub-mitted for the consideration of the di-rectors there were none that equalledthose of Architect Boyer. These werethe plane adopted and Mr. Boyer was in-structed to furnish specifications forsame within 12 daya. It is certainly acompliment to Mr, Boyer that out of allthe plans submitted bis has been select-ed as the beet.
It was decided to open school on thesecond Monday of September.
A number of bills were allowed and asmany more referred until the next meet-ing to receive the o. k.’s.
Nothing was done in regard to thebids for the repairs on the old schoolbuildings and tbe matter was deferreduntil tomorrow night when the boardwill hold another meeting.
Fire Department Organized.The volunteer portion of the fire de-
partment of this city was organized lastnight at the city hall and fourteen nameswere enrolled. The law provides forfifteen volunteers, to be organized into adepartment, who shall work with thopaid portion, and for the actual servicesat each fire shall receive a stated amountof pay.
The volunteers are all experienced infire department work. A most remark-able fact in regard to the organization isthat eight of them are employed witbina stone’s throw of the hose house, sothat in case of a fire they can be onhand at almost the first riug of the bell.
The three paid men have been at theirplacep at the city hall for the past week—ever since their contract with the citywent imo effect.
John Dickerson, was elected chief ofthe volunteers, as he has been of thepaid department. Mr. Dickerson hasbeen one of the faithful volunteer fire-men of tbe city for several years pastand deserves any mark of favor that maybe shown him.
The department is now pretty wellequipped to handle a fire of any propor-tion, and it is well that it is so, as thereis no telling at what minute there maybe occasion for their serviaes.
