Maine School For the
Feeble Minded,
Doubtful II Site Is Selected
Before Another Year.
Trustees OF State Normal Schools
Hold Meeting Wednesday.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting Of Governor and Coun.
Gil Tuesday, Nov. IL, ct 10 A. NJ.

It is now considered very doubtful if
a location for the proposed Maine
School for the Feeble Minded. an APP
preparation for which was made at the
last session of the Legislature. will be
secured before another year. This was
the opinion expressed by one Of he
members of the committee who have
the matter of q location for the school
in hand. in speaking OF the institution
yesterday.
Continuing he said that the COM
mittee had visited many PAGES but
had not agreed upon any one place for
a site for the school. All of the places
visited possess some advantages. but
one of the greatest obstacles encoun-
tered by the committee is the high
price which has been charged in nearly
every ease when il became known that
the location had been favorably con-
stlercd. An instance of this nature
may be mentioned in the case Of oae
man who was approached regarding
The price Of his land. He had pur-
chased the farm, together with large
lot of stock and farming tools for $1,000.
and had since his purchase Of The pro-
perry taken off about $4,000 worth of
when Il came to setting a price on the
property he quoted the very modest
price of 81 2.090
When asked about the prospect of
locating the school at ArrowSic, Op.
positn III" cit.- of Saith the member Of
the Committee said i!lat thu place had
not bner considered. and that so far as
he ENeW none OF the committee had
Viewed the" site except from a distance.
The place would. he said. be considered
with the others. if IL possessed the re
qtiired advantages.
THE committee has ti,us far visited
| many places III various sections of the
State and has found some that would
be desirable for the location of the in
stitutiOH. b!it has been confronted IN
| a lmOstgevery case hy the same tronhlc
reRartling price They are willing to
nay AZ. reasonable price for the site
desired, but do not propose in making
the purchase for the State to pay any
more than they would if conducting the
business for themselves. Among the
| places which have thus far been visited
[ are winslOw, Waterville, Fairfield,
| Pittsf1eld. Newport FOxcroft, Winthrop
Readfield Farningdale. Brunswick.
| lewiston, Monmouth. I.tchfield, West
| Gardiner. kennebnnk, Damarscotta.
| Union and ROc<land.
| In the selection of a site il is the de-
| sire of the cunmittec to be not farther
| than two on three miles from RTE IA IL
! road, and it would like 10 he near the
tYnain line and as nearly as possible
fnear the geographical center of popula-
ton of the State. I, is also desired
+ that the location should have good
\ drainage and good water supply. as ne
