Big Calls for Money from Various In

The members are lining up now for
the discussion of the university troub-
les. The authoritative announce
ment that President Raymond will
resign his position II DR.. Hartigan
withdraws his libel suit will make it
much easier to secure good appropri
alton than would have been the case
had Raymond been destined to con-
tinue in Office The sentiment of the
majority of the members, both repub-
leans and democrats, is against Ray
mond, and there would have been
opposition to any appropriation for
the university that did not carry with
Ii proposition to investigate the
troubles that have beset the UNIVERSE
ty. Raymond's resignation will
smooth the way for goodly sum and
there will be no more trouble at the
states highest institution of learning.
The industrial school for girls at
Salem is after larger appropriation
than was granted two years ago. The
directors of the home have run out of
funds and went in the hole several
thousand dollars in order to keep the
f,,f This
has to be made up, and money is
expected for new buildings. The
home for incurables wants a largely
increased appropriation, and there
will be an effort to separate the school
for the deaf and dumb from the school
for the blind, on the lines laid down
and suggested by the governor in his
annual message. The state guard
wants four times as much money as it
ever had before, and the other insti-
buttons not mentioned want sums
greatly in excess of any former appro-
priation. Then efforts are TO be made
to create several new departments in
the state administration, more money
is needed for the capitol annex, Grim
inal charges are piling up high and
little amounts are being asked here
and there for the relief Of various
persons There is not enough to go
around by half, and the members of
the two finance committees are already
worrying over how they can divide
the limited sum at their disposal to
satisfy all the hungry.
Morgantown wants to expand.
Delegate Grant has introduced char
ter bill making the university town a
city and extending It's limits to
include the villages of Greenmont,
Seneca, South Morgantown and
another hamlet or two. If passed
Morgantown's population will be in
creased 1000.
The democrats tried to have the
right to appoint one of the four assis-
tant door-keepers in the house. In
explaining his negative vote on the
proposition Mr., Grant (rep. Mononga-
lia) said the millennium had not yet
arrived Several democrats voted
with the republicans to defeat this
motion not caring 20 establish pre-
cedent which would embarrass them
when the war-born state returns to
its Id political idols if such an event
ever comes to pass.
A new measure in West Virginia
