MinOt Normal
IS Provided For
MILL TAX FOR EDUCATIONAL
PURPOSES RAISED AN EIGHTH
-MAYVilLE LOSES.

Bismarck, N. ID, Feb. 27.--Liberal
improvement appropriations as we'll
as provision for future maintenance.
have been secured by the northwest
ern delegates to the assembly for the
Minot normal school. From the
house and senate appropriation Of
$6S,0O0, $4,000 Of which is granted to
complete fund of $4,000 which will
be used in the construction of girls
dormitory, and $4,000 of which will
be utilized for the equipment of the
main normal building, upon which
work was begun last fall.
The mill tax feature, however, is
probably the most important. 1t al
ready has been passed by both branch
es of the assembly, and has been sign
ed by Governor Hanna. Under it's
provisions the Minot school will re-
ceive approximately $4,000 biennial
ly, or $4,000 annually, the nrst bene-
fits being derived in 1914.
MayviIe Normal Loses $4,000.
This feature is accomplished
through the raising of the mill tax for
educational purposes to a mill and an
eighth All of the institutions with
the exception Of the Mayville normal
school retain their old proportion of
that tax The A1ayville Institution is
reduced .01 mill, and that is attached
to the Minot normal share, which is
placed at 1885 mills.
BY this switch, the mill tax income
for maintenance for the Mayville nor
NAL school is reduced about $4,000.
Crane Gets Salary. ...
At the opening of the session there
was an interesting point raised by the
state auditing board, which refused to-
allow President "A. G. Crane his sal
.ry for services to date. Mr. Crane
vas employed by the normal board of
control to begin his work last fall, and
when the account for the three-month
period was presented, the auditing
board contended that as there was, as
yet, no normal school, that there was
no need of a president, and it was
further contended that the board of
control had overstepped its powers in
employing a president.
president Crane was here recently
and the matter was finally amicably
adjusted, and he continues his work as
executive agent of the board in charge
of the establishment of the new Mi
not institution.
