SITE OF TECHNICAL INSTITUTE.
PhfIa lthropists Spend the Morning in
Inspecting the Grounds.

After the visiting philanthropists had
completed their inspection of the old Ar
senal grounds yesterday morning Alexander
Mcdonald, of Cincinnati, said: These
grounds are worth three times what they
cost the people of Indianapolis" AS the
price paid the government was sl54.000
Mr. McDonald's estimate Of their value.
from the point of view of a man thorough
" conversant with realty values. is about
s462, OOO surely an asset of wonderful rich
ness for the technical school to start life
on The views OF John NJ. Studebaker. the
South Bend millionaire. and others coincide
closely with those of Mr.. Mcdonald.
The trip To the site OF the trades school
was made in trolley cars at o'clock yes
terday morning and the visitors spent about
three hours in carefully looking over the
grounds and the buildings. All were en-
thusiastic about the great expanse of the
grounds, the wealth OF forest trees, the
orchard, the vineyard and all the natural
advantages that enhance the beauty and
value of the site. All were unprepared for
the treat that DR.. Dickey had held in store
for them. The buildings now standing can
be utilized with ease. the members Of the
party think. with a minimum of expense
The old barracks can be used as q dormi-
tory. the old storehouse would make an
excellent workshop, the powder magazine
could be used as a cold-storage plant. and
every building on the grounds could be
