for at several points, will depend en-
tirely upon the action of the legisla-
ture with respect to the resolution
passed by our board,' said G. H.
Crownhart, the Superior regent.
eve will go before the legislative
committees this winter and endeavor
to secure the passage of the one-sixth
mill tax to give the normal schools a
fixed income as was done with the
university some years ago. If we OBJ
tain that and the specific appropria-
ton asked for we will then consider
the needs of the different schools in
expanding the money obtained"
The various normal schools put in
their requests for appropriations, the
Oshkosh normal asking for an addi-
ton and remodeling; the River Falls
school for an addition; the Milwaukee
school for a model school the Platte
vile school for a dormitory the SUI
perior and Stevens Point schools for
new wings, etc, the total amount asked
for being $4,000, as follows:
