Supt. Eggleston Makes Plea to FL
lance Committee-Questions
Cost of Laurel School.

MIR. j. ID, Egg,eston, Jr., Superin-
tefdent OF Public instruction, was
cahed upon Friday by the House
Committee on Finance to explain the
expenditure Of $4,000 on the public
schooi building at. the Laurel Re-
frmttory.
Tho members of the committee
were of the opinion that too much
money was expended, and that the
Department of Education exceeded its
authority in expanding such a large
amount. IL was explained that at
the last session of the Genera AS
sembly an appropriation of $500
was made for the school at Laurel.
MIR. Eggleston stated hat ex-Gover-
nor Swanson had made an agreement
with members of the Assembly and
had agreed TO sign the bill If the
building could be erected for $4,000,
but would veto the bill If more money
was expended. When the school had
been completed IT was found to have
cost about $4,000.
Mr.. Eggieston stated that he would
not allow q school building TO be
erected for $2,500, as 1t would be
nothing but a rattle trap and not
suitable for a dog to stay In" Il
do not know how much the building
cost" he admitted, but understand
that Governor Swanson agreed to
double the appropriation for erect
ing the school. making 1T $4,000"
with this amount appropriated an
additional $4,000 was required to erect
the building, which the Finance Com
mittee could not account for. and
which was considered excessive.
superintendent Eggleston request
ed the committee to increase several
Of the items in his appropriation list.
The summer normal school fund is
now SIS, 1000, and an additional $4,000
was asked for this purpose. 1.-The
work has grown to such an extent"
explained Mr.. Eggleston. that II is
impossible to get along on the pres
ent appropriation"
An increase of 5000 was also asked
for In the travelling expenses OF the
superintendeut. At present he is only
allowed $500 a year. and this does
not enable him to attend N of the
educational conventions outside of
the State, which are very instructive.
