OUTLOOK FAVORABLE
NORMAL MAY OBTAIN NEEDED
MONEY FROM LEGIS-
LATURE.

State Regents Of Education T. W.
Dwight, of Sioux Falls, and j. W.
Campbell. Of Huron. were in the city
yesterday on a visit TO the local Nor
NAL school and while here they ap-
proved the newly completed model
school which until yesterday was in
the hands of the contractor.
DR.. Heston received the informa-
ton in a letter from J. II. Groce yes
terday that three bills. affecting the
Normal school, have passed the lower
house. The letter stated the three
bills had gone through without a vote
against them and the prospects look
ed good for their passage in the sen
ate.
The bills call for an appropriation
Of nearly $4,000. One provides for
an expenditure Of S11.17O for the
paving of Egan avenue and Eleventh
street, where these streets abut the
grounds of the school. Another asks
for $4,000 for repairs. improve
ments and equipment. especially the
new model school furniture, for
which $1,000 alone is needed as well
as $4,000 for its completion. The
third requests the sum of $4,000 to
reimburse the maintenance fund of
the school which has heretofore been
drawn upon 10 pay for the connection
of the heating plant with the new
building and for coal.
In case this bill becomes a law, it
is construed as an emergency act and
will take effect at once. The two
other bills, if passed, will not become
operative until the close Of the SEES
sion mex month. 1t appears now as
though DR.. j. w. Heston will not
have to present himself at Pierre TO
testify before the committee on state
appropriations, inasmuch as the pres
ent acts have met with such success
in the house.
Among the many things provided
in the $4,000 asked for repairs and
improvements is $500 for three fire
escapes for East hall. two for the
west wing and one for the east. Nee
essary dormitory repairs for the east
and west wings will cost $4,000 and
these are also included.
In his letter, Mr.. Groee said that
all were well and feeling fine.
Cleaned up our calendar yesterday
afternoon friday which has been
behind for several days" Since his
arrival at Pierre. our representative
from Lake county has been working
a%ssiduously for these appropriations
and if they are obtained a large
share of the credit will go to him.

CIVIC CLUB Meeting
INTERESTING MEETING - IN
STRUCTiAE ADDRESS BY
DIR. III. A. HARTMICH.

Contributed: The Civic club is
growing. not only in activities and in
terest, but in numbers. The women
of the city are beginning to recognize
that the club is a wide awake, ener-
getic organization.
At the regular meeting on Monday
afternoon twenty new members were
elected. Another place of meeting
will again be the question of the club
on account of the large attendance.
The Sunday school room in the base
ment of the Methodist church which
had recently been secured as a meet
ing place. was full to ogerflowing.
The committee, who had charge of
the ticket sale for Haydn's Gre
alton" could not give a full report.
but the ladies of the club expressed
themselves as well pleased with the
interest that was shown and hoped
that since the Choral society had aid
ed them financially with the proceeds
of the evening, that the club had
been able in a small way TO assist the
Choral society and make that organ
ization a permanent affair.
The ladies of the w. C. T. u. pre-
sented TO the club a petition to be
signed for the bone dry" law which
is now being considered in our state
legislature. The club, as a whole,
did not endorse it, but urged thai
every member see the committee and
sign the petition personally.
The music for the afternoon was
furnished by Miss Gladly Powell, who
sang Promise Me-" which was very
much appreciated by the audience.
The program was very instructive
as well as interesting. Mrs. Hart

mentary Practice" In an organiza-
ton of this kind every member

how to put a motion and secure her

principles to be remembered. First,

ity; third, free discussion; fourth, the

DR.. H. A. Hartwich gave a talk on

woman in Madison should have

ton devoted 10 activities of East hall,
the young ladies' dormitory. The So
eial section will be much larger this
year than aver before, due 10 the
wider range of these activities during
the present school year.
The humorous section will also
come in for a larger share of atten-
ton as there is enough good stuff"
let loose around the north end of
Egan e N to make such a division
bigger and better than ever.

those in the 1917 book aside from
the normal changes which accompany
any new review of the schools activ-
tiles.

CAR TERMINAL
PLANS DISCUSSED
Valley Railways Officials
Confer With City Or
ganiZations

Tentative plans for double-track-
ing Walnut street and trackage for
n proposed terminal to be erected
at Walnut and River street by the
Valley Railways Company, We're gone
over yesterday at a meeting of rep
resentatives of the trolley company.
City Council, the City Planning Com
mission and the Municipal League.
While the plans did not include
any extensive provision for the ter
minal building the general scheme
of development which will eliminate
much of the car congestion in Mar
ket square was presented for dis
cussion.
During the last few weeks engi.
neers and architects have been at
work making an extensive study of
the situation and preparing neces-
sary data for consideration. 1t IS
understood that the company soon
VII be ready to proceed when the
city grants it franchise.
Double Track in Walnut Street
The arrangement which has met
with general approval so far pro-
vides for doubletracking Walnut
street from near Front street to
Second street, connecting the VAL
ley Railways trackage with the Har-
risburg Railways lines. This will
he done TO make the lines intercon-
meeting for special occasions. An
other feature of the plan will be a
loop connecting with the double
taacks in Walnut street, passing into
the terminal building and under
cover. Inside the loop an aisle of
safety is planned for passengers
waiting on the cross river cars.
Nothing definite has been decided
q bout the proDosed buildinny for tho
terminal. Further plans for this will
be made in the near future, it is
but the main feature of
the scheme is the provision to re-
lieve congestion at Second and Wal
nut streets and in Market square.
