AMENDMENT TO SCHOOL
SAID TO HAVE ERROR
Weird "Stream" Used Instead
of Steam" in Act Passed
by Last Legislature.

WARSAW, Ind, May 6.-As the re-
suit of a clerical or typographical
error in the new Indiana acts, a school
building in Indiana might be bounded
on four sides BY a steam railroad.
This fact has been brought to the at
tentiOn of school authoritits here in
a letter from DR. J. n Hurry. secre-
tary OF the state board of health.
The new law, which was passed as
an amendment to the law governing
the sites Of school buildings, says a
school building can not be erected
nearer than 500 feet Of a stream or
interurban railway" unless the con-
sent OF the secretary of the state board
Of health and the superintendent OF
public instruction be obtained. The
law was intended to read steam or
interurban railway" but by mistake
the word stream" was used. In his
letter Or. Hurry said:
1T is wholly unnecessary to secure
any written opinion from the attOr-
ney-general concerning the word
stream in the amendment to the
school law. Tht word stream is
there. and there is no power on earth
TO change it except the legislature
itself There is now no law whatever
preventing schoOlhouses from being
built as near to steam railroad as
the school authorities wish to build
them -
