APPROPRIATION FOR NORMAL
Reported FavOrably by SubcOmmit-
tee OF Both Houses

The appropriation as reported out
of the subcommittee for the State
Normal school amounts to 100000.
The subcommittee is composed of
members from both the senate and
the house, who were selected to pass
upon all appropriations for the state
institutions, and it is almost conclu-
sive that their recommendations will
be carried out.
This means that the new training
school at the Normal will be built
this year, The appropriation for
improvements last year was $50 200.
The amount recommended by the
committee is the amount asked for
by President Snyder and will cover
the cost of the new training school.

WATER DELAYS
CAMFIELD ANNEX
BIG PRESSURE L.RsTs FLOOR
Two Feet of Cement and Five Tons
of Steel Required

The contractors who installed the
concrete basement for the new addi-
ton for the Camtield are making
another ,effort to stop the flow tf
water through the bottom. One foot
of concrete reinforced by two tons
of iron was not sufficient to hold
back the water, which exerted such
a tremendous pressure from beneath
that the entire floor raised up and
cracked In several places as soon as
the weight was taken off the top
by pumping the water out.
The damaged floor will now be
covered with another foot of con-
crete and added to this will be ten
thousand pounds of iron. The iron
will be IN the shape of six inch l
beams and will be placed two feet
apart upCn the bottom and holes will
be made at the bottom of the side
walls to receive the ends of the iron
In this way the entire weight of the
whole structure will hold down the
floor. The construction of the build
ing proper, which has been delayed
three months on account of the foun
dation, will begin ut Cnce.
