Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. May 3.-The letting
of the contract for the construction of the
new building for the State Normal School
by the board Of trustees, last night, made
apparent the fact that the false policy of
economy of the recent Legislature will
cost the State about $4,000. The
amount asked was 100000. and this
was agreed to by both branches of
the Legislature, but in conference
committee the amount was reduced
to $4,000. Under the law this money must
be used for the object for which it was ap-
propriated before Nov. /. else 1t is covered
into the State treasury. Therefore. con-
tracts had To be let for as much work as
the 81. 900 would pay for, and the incom-
pleted building Will remain in that condi-
tion for two years. The contract for the
remaining work will then be let. If all
were let az one time the bids would have
been lower. The $4,000 of the States
money is practically idle for two years. the
interest on which, and the lose in contract
price. will amount to not less than $4,000.
