Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1907-01-04

the prominent citizens of Lewiston to |
donate that portion of ground ad
joining the Normal school, which is
now known as the city park, TO the
board of trustees of the school, pro-
vidiug the state Legislature makes the
appropriation of ) $4,000 which has
been requested for the erection of
womans dormitory.
In. the plan of President Black in
asking for the appropriation of $55,-
600 for the erection of the dormitory
he states that $4,000 are to be used
in the purchase of a favorable build
ing site-the site preferred being the
portion Of the city park mentioned
School to Care for Grounds.
Rather than have the appropriation
bill go before the house and senate
bearing a clause stating that $4,000
will be reserved for a site, and to have
it noised about the state capitol that
Lewiston practically is to receive
bonus of $4,000 for a site for a public
building which will be credit to the
community. the interested people of
the city have taken the matter UP
with the purpose of bringing the mat
ter before the council and asking that
the site be donated to the board of
trustees for the dormitory.
Another clause in the deed, should
the ground be given to the school will,
be that the plat Of ground be main
tanned by the directors Of the school
| in such manner as will warrant its
being used at all times as a city park
This arrangements will take the re-
sponsibility of management from the
hands of the city superintendent of
parks.
| viii Have No "eack Door,"
Some objection arose today on the
ground that should the building be
erected. the back yard Of the dormi-
tory" would be in the city park. II
the plans Of President Black mature,
there will be no back yard" to the
building
The plans which have been drawn
by an eastern architect portray a
building, long narrow structure, hav-
ing no inside rooms, plenty of light,
the kitchen on the third floor and the
dining room and reception rooms on
the first floor. The offices of the dean
of women and others will be on the
second floor.
The arrangement placing the kitch-
en- on the third floor is done so as to
keep the hired help and students
from intermingling. 1t also does
away with all odors throughout the
lower floors.
The proposed building will have ac-
lcommodations for 80 young women.
1t will face the park on the west
while the school campus will occupy
the eastern side of the structure.
| Soions Like the Plans.
1.-THE representatives and senators
elect from botn Idaho and Nez Perez
counties have examined the plans and
specifications, and / find them hearii:

building, said President Black to-
day.
II I will leave the city In about tw
weeks for Boise to properly present the

Nez Perez county. l. am confident o.
success" continued Mr.. Black.
Speaking of the PROPOSED donation
OF portion OF the park to the schoo
directors, 0. A. Kjos said:
"As a citizen Of Lewiston, and anx
ious for the welfare Of the city.
: would be heartily in favor of the prol
osition. Should we, as citizens, ALLOW
the clause to remain in the bill stain!
u that $4,000 will be given to city o
E Lewiston to enrich it's Golfers, the ap
! preparation would in all probabilitie
5 die natural death, or should 1t pass
e would stamp Lewiston as SO unpro
gressive as to refuse to push a pub
licity affair of this kind.
i Councilman Morsy Favorable.
