THE UNIVERSITY SITE.
Conclusive Answer to the Objections to
TIE Lakeside Location.

the Lakeside Location.
"The question being raised as to the validity
ard wisdom OF fhe university law has no sound
basis, said J. 4. Moore to Posi- INTELLr6ENcER
reporter yesterday. 1.-The law is perfectly valid
as it stands, providing for the location OF the
university on l50 acres of school section i6,
township Is north, range east, and no other
1t is claimed that the setting aside of school
land as permanent site fer the university is
unconstitutional. The constitution does not re-
ouire school land to be sold, and the university
law sets this tract aside for school purposes re-
serves ii from sale forever and provides that s
per cent annually shall DC paid from the uni
versi,y fund into the common sc hool fund
This provision is perfectly valid.
.'Then il Is claimed that the university regents
would not erect expensive buildings on ground
10 which the state holds title. The regents win
not have charge OF the erection OF bil tings, for
that work IS 10 be- done by commissioners ap-
pointed for the purpose. The buildings will
have To be erected On this ground, for the law
has settled that question aud wisely retains title
in the state instead of in the city any indi-
yidnais.
This arrangement had received the consent
OF the donors OF the present site before the bill
vas passed, who viii give Quit clnira deeds to
TIE present site. The city has done the same
thing Even If they failed to do so, Judicial in
qGiry would show the state to have clear title
TO the present site, so that their consent is not
really necessary except to avoid dieratory iiti-
CATION.
..Not only is this plan constitutional, but il is
good one in itself II provides beautiful site
on high ground. bordering on both Lakes Wash
ington ana Union. without frst cost, aud leaves
the proceeds of the sale OF the present site to be
devoted 10 the erection and furnishing of new
buildings and the establishment of an endow-
ment fund. Ii also secures the permanent loca-
ton OF the Institution near, and practically in.
the city The site has the hearty approval of the
donors of the old site and is satisfactory TO every
body, except interested directors"
