TO DRAW
STATE SCHOOL PLANS.
Attorney General Hands Down Opin-
ion, Settling Feud Between De-
partmsnts of Commonwealth.


TRENTON, June 21.-An opinion
has been rendered by Attorney Gen
eral McCarter to the state board of
education, holding that under the act
Of 1905, creating the department of
charities and corrections. the new
normal school plans should be pre-
pared by State Architect George e.
Poole. The new normal school is to
be at Montclair Heights, on the
Great Notch road, lying between the
counties of Essex and Passaic. Work
on the school will proceed immedi-
ately.
In 1902 n resolution was passed,
directing the state board of educa-
ton to inquire into the necessity for
erecting a new normal school in
North Jersey. An act was passed up
on this report by the legislature of
1903, providing that the state board
should provide land and erect a bull
ding, employ architects, superintend-
ents of construction, etc, for the OPP
erations. The board employed Messrs.
Z%antzinger & Borie to make tentative
plans and secure estimates of the
cost in order that it could present an
accurate estimate to the legislature.
The plans were drawn and estimates
made with the understanding that the
architects would receive no compen-
sation unless an appropriation was
made for the purpose by the legisla-
ture.
At the following session of the leg
this sum was paid for the work. AS
the agreement with these men had
been closed, the board did not feel it
was obligated to employ them to
draw the plans. In 1908 the egisla-
made an appropriation of $780,
900 for buying the land and the con-
structing of the school.
The board received $4,000 in
904 in order that the plot could be
purchased. No further action was
aiken until an appropriation of $275,-
300 was made for the building by the
asst legislature. The board had new
