that his belief was that s125,OOO was all
the institution could hope to get. II
any new buildings we're erected, a dining
room and kitchen, costing not to exceed
$4,000, might be secured. The present
kitchen and laundry could then be used
as sleeping rooms. An additional amount
OF $4.0OO for heating, sewerage. electric
lighting, etc., will aleo be- necessary il
the new building is secured.
The public generally Is not aware tina,
large Deficiencies exist in several of the
appropriations for state institutions. IL
other words the trustees Or directors
have spent more than they we're author
lied to make under the law. For In
stance, the state normal school at Valley
City has $1O,8OO deficiency, divided as
follows: $2,4OO on salaries, 81 900 or
coal, $1,000 ON building and the remain
der for other accounts. The Valley Git,
school has, however, about 100 students
aud a very complete building.
The Mayville normal school has not
been completed. The board asks fol
S20.0h0 to finish the addition planned to
be used as a dormltory, besides the
maintenance for two years.
1t is said that nearly $4,000 have been
spent by the trustees of the soldiers
home at Lisbon, in excess of the appro.
priatlons. The building is erected bnt
not furnished. OF course the trustees
had no authority to do this. 1t ls not
known what additional sum will be
asked for to maintain this institution.
The Grand Forks university wants
$4,000.
The Fargo agricultural college wants
$4,000
| The Devils Lake deaf and dumb
school wants $4,000.
The penitentiary at Bismarck wants
| $4,000.
Take it all in all, the North Dakota
tax payer will have big bill to foot for
expenses il half OF the amounts asked
for are granted. 1t is estimated that
considerable over half million of dollars
will be required for the charitable, penal
and educational institutions of the state
for the next two years. There now
seems to be strong disposition on the
part Of the house at least to curtail these
expenses, which are only portion of the
bills the people pay for statehood. The
! wisdom of Governor Shortridge III
recommending that unnecessary Offices
and institutions he abolished for the
present, ls quite apparent in the light ot
the immense sum asked for the main
tenance Of them.
