President Raymond. OF the university,
has made an estimate OF the approprl-
alton necessary to be made by the
present legislature for the expenses of
running the institution for the coming
two years. 1t reaches the sum OF
100000. This Is so much in excess of
former appropriations that II IS feared
some difficulty will be encountered In
securing the appropriation and Presi-
dent Raymond and several members OF
the board OF regents will be on the
ground to personally look after Il.
Among the items provided for in the
report Is $4,000 for a woman's ,hall.
which has become q necessity because
of the Increasing number OF young wo-
men students. Ore hundred and seven
tS-fvc are now attending. A law IL
brary, equipment In many OF the de-
partments, $4,000 for wing to one OF
the buildings and $4,000 for a library
building and museum are some OF the
Items included In the estimate. ~
President Raymond strongly recon-
rends the levy OF 4 special tax for the
support Of the university. He has In
vestiSated the operations of the millnge
system for the support OF the state uni
versities of Minnesota. Michigan. Colo-
RADIO and other states dsfd Is convinced
of its merit. a levy Of one mill on
each hundred dollars Of property as

manent income OF sl11,OoO each year.

State Bar Association. which will meet
this month In Charleston. have eX-
pressed their intention of proposing at

the present law. The closeness of the
last election and the tricliery with the
ballots incident to it have shown up
several grave G.:fects In the present law
and there is demand on all sides that
they be remedied either by amend
ment or by absolute repeal.

Of this county directed the clerk to re-
quest Senator Elkins and Congressman
Dayton to petition Congress for per-
mission for the county court to con-
struct and maintain 4 free public

owners of the toll bridge across the
river want a higher price for their
bridge than the court is willing TO
pay, and so great Is the clam
or of the citizens for a free
bridge that the court will construct 4
new one unless the toll bridge owners
come to terms.
