There is nothing particularly new to report in connection with the coming school bond election, which will be held on Saturday, March 1st. The work of tearing down the brick walls of the destroyed building has been in progress the past week, though this morning’s storm has prevented activity today. Saturday morning W.R. Jones, superintendent of the Pagosa schools, Chas. A. Day, secretary of the school board, and J.R. Martinez, treasurer of the board, departed on a several days’ business trip which will take them to Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Denver, where they will investigate different schools, confer with architects and purchase equipment for the new building to be erected.
We understand from confidential sources that negotiations are in progress for the sale of the springs property, to be followed by the erection of a new and modern hotel building as stated in these columns last week.

A new fee schedule was adopted Tuesday night by the Pagosa Area Water and Sanitation District at its director’s regular monthly meeting. The action conforms with recent PAWS board policy of reviewing the utility’s charges and expenses.
The new fee schedule affects all charges except inclusion fees, currently $6,500. Board members decided to review conditions relating to inclusion fees before changing that item.
Monthly service charges were raised for the first time since 1990, PAWS general manager Carrie Campbell said.
A minimum service charge of $27 per month is levied per equivalent unit for 10,000 gallons of water with wastewater service.
A minimum service charge of $13 per month is levied per equivalent unit, or E.U., for 10,000 gallons of water without wastewater service.
For wastewater service only, $14 per month per E.U. will be levied.
