WEATHER FORECAST Somewhat unsettled tonight and Wednesday, Warmer tonight, ES! TABLISHED 1873 CONSIDER NOT | OPENING NEW CITY SCHOOL’ , | *( School Board Members May| Postpone Use Until Next Fall ARE Lack of Greatly Increased Enrollment, _ Expense, Among the Reasons REASONS CITED; Because of an unusual condition arising in the city school enroll-. ment, the city board of education has, under consideration the qués- tion of whether it will open the new Riverview school this year. } The building, which is being built in the western part of the city, is| nearing completion and could be used for the last half of the school | iB year. The condition which has led board members ‘to’ consider not opening, the school is the fact that .the enrollment has not attained , the normal 10 percent increase this year.’ The question ‘of finance also enters intg, the consideration, as well as the disorganization which it is felt would be encountered in the transfer of some pupils to the | new school during the school year, } The enrollment in. the city) exclusive of the high| was on November first On November 1 last year it was 1119. Normally the total en- rollment reached during tfe pres- ent school year would be 10 per- cent greater than last year, when it reached 1,294. While there will this year—there already has been some increase sin ce November 1—} it Is hardly likely, according to| schodi authorities, that the total enrollment will reach 1294. On November 1 there was shown little increase in the various build- ings. Wachter ‘school had 133 pupils as compared to 126 the sam'> date last year; the North Ward 2717 compared *to"'275; the Wilk school 401 compared to. 396; Rich- holt 334 compared to 322. / ; Information Given Superintendent Saxvik, at re- quest of board members, has laid before them th@ facts regarding the situation without recommenda- tion, and for the information of the patrons of the schools. *'On the basis of the enrollment, it is questioned whether or not there is need“ to enter jthe new school building this year.. It is pointed out that the greatest in- erease in any grade school is in the Richholt school in.the extreme eastern part of the city, which would not be affected by the new school. The pupils for the new school would come chiefly from the Will school. There would be, it is held, dis- _ prganization in the Will school incilent to the transfer. Teach- ers in the Will school were inter- viewed for the board and it was. stated by. Superintendent Saxvik that they expressed @ willingness to continue teaching the same number of pupils they now are teaching. . Information was prepared on the number of pupils that might enter the four grades it was’ proposed to maintain this year in the new * Riverview school) The maximum. enrollment, baséd.on the June 1 census, would not exceed 125 and might be less, the superintendent said. Making First “street the dividing line, about 90 pupils would be transferred from the | Will school. West - of First street, based on the June 1 census, there were 180 children of ages from six to 2 i Will School Growth The, Will school has been the most crowded school. Its increase this ‘year is from 396 pupils’ to 401 pupils. However, the largest grade in the school this year has 47 pupils as compared to 49 last year. On the other. hand, Superintend- ent Saxvik and other school offi- cials do not recommend that any teacher have more than 40 pupils in one room and this number is exceeded in the. Will school. How- ever, his administration is /not demanding that the new schéol be opened at this time. Another, question which has caus- ed some inclination on the part of the board, not to open the new school is the question of finance. It was estimated by Superintend- ent Saxvik that it would cost about ,$10,000 to maintain the new school the rest of the year. Taxes Limited Under the limitation law of the last legislature the dmbunt ‘of tax- es that can be levied is limited. be an. increase in enrollment. yet | HE BISMARCK TRIBUN BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA.

Under the order of the railroad commission setting the case for hear- ing on December 17, many questions will be involved, and the case 1s re- garded as one of the most import- ant rate hearings ever held involving a local utility, because of the wide range of questions, About a year ago the commission started a hearing on petition of sev- eral consumers for a reduction in rates, but were enjoined. In a case which went to the supreme court the public utility. Wets were held valid. The commission is now proceeding to inquire into all phases of the matter, A number of consumers will be represented also by an attorney.

The city will charge for use of uditorium 121-2 per cent of the receipts.- Minimum rates also are established. They are $50 for one night's use, and $75 for one night and a practice night. Home talent and similar entertain- ments will be. gaected by the ruling th The definite | schedule was adopted at the request of the manager of a local home, talent show, who urged that a fixed schedule be maintained and that it be sufficient to protect the city. Expense of heating the auditorium is said to be very great, and the $50 minimum will Darely cover the cost to the city of keeping the auditorium open for a performance, it was said. It was proposed fo make the fee 15 per cent of the gross receipts, which would ordinarily meet the expense, but because the auditorium was built for public use and the commission did not desire to’ discourage use of it, it was decided to try the fee of 121-2 per cent of gross receipts. ditorium for such occasions as big conentions or patriotic day exercises. Each year an appropria- tion is made to cover the deficit on the building. If the schedule adopted is not sufficient to approximate the expense it may have to be faised.

No “appreciable increase” of rum running from Canada is anticipated by Federal Prohi ion Director A, A.

Governor R. A. Nestos, in an address opening a conference of state's attor- neys and other law enforcement of- ficers here this afternoon, declared that “the enforcement of the prohi bitory laws is the joint responsibili- ty of the states and the nation.” “Neither the executive nor people of North Dakota have any sympathy or patience with the @iews expressed by the officials of some of the eastern states, some of whom have given voice to doctrines and political theories that have scarcely been raised in these United States during the past half century and which I believe to have been buried by the sanguinary conflict of six decades ago, North Dakota has no disposition to shirk its responsibili- ty or to fail to do its share in the great work of maintaining the su- premacy of the constitution and in enforcing respect for and obedience to the laws of the land.” The executive, after calling atten- tion to President Coolidge’s demand before the Governors conference for law enforcement, set out a platform for law enforcement officers of the state. He urged: Those. charged: with * enforcement of Jaws should declare that persqns whe fail to yield obedianee to law are striking a vicious blow at the very foundation 6f the government. That codperation should be given federal prohibition forces, , That officials should set an exam- ple for others in obeying laws. That a good example might be set. in signing a total abstinence pledge. Civic organizations and patriotic organizations should be asked to sup- port law enforcement. The state's attorney's subpoena and injunctional processes should be used against public nuisances to close them. The Governor, in his talk, told the conference that while he had been a- total abstainer nearly al! of his life he had never thought much of signing a pledge until recently and because of the challenge to prohibi- tion law enforcement he had since done s0. the ‘ Tells of Purpose Attorney-General George Shafer, who called the state’s attorneys in conference, presided at the opening of the meeting in the house chamber in the statchouse, Governor “Nesto: had supplemented his call with a request for all law enforcement’ of- ficers to be present. Mr. Shafer told the state’s attor- neys that two benef! objects might be attained through a confe' ence—the benefits of mutual ex- change of views and the study of problems confronting the state prose- cutors; second, the formation of a permanent State Prosecutors Asso- ciation, through which state's attors neys might, cooperate in seeking im- provement in the laws affecting the office and functions of the state’s at- torneys, The program included an address by Judge A.
