DALLAS, Tx, May 26.-A goodlJ
number OF the citizens Of Dallas are
worked up on the purchase Of the Daila'
Female college building and grounds BY
the city for public school house Ihess
people think II a great wrong, II not on
outrage, TO expend so much money ia one
building. That the property Is worth the
money there Is hardly & question, but the
Obiectors think tbs purchase ga big
thing on lcein entirely too huge q luxury
for Dallas to indulge In. The school tax
voted at tile last city election was limited
An amount % One-fOurth Of one per cent.
Of city values and was for the specific
purpose Of building one or more public
school.houses, and for this reason, II Is
argued, cannot be used for the payment
Of the purchase tits further argued the
city hos no charter right 20 make such a
purchase consequently tits null and void.
Quld nunc4, you know, will talk, and
some OF them rush into print, but they
hardly ever trouble quiet waters. II the
city gets deed TO the property and Prot
