TG ENFORCE LAW .
ON new SCHOOLS
State Supervisor To Insist
Buildings Comply With
Statute.

Frankfort. Ky, June 2S.--County
superintendents and boards of edrca-
zion must observe the state Law re-
qniring that plans for new school
buildings be submitted to the office
of the state superintendent for APP
prevail. according to a letter just sent
cut from thu ,sf'ce of j. Nirgl Chap
Il on, state super .,.r OF rural schools
The letter calls the attention of the
superintenderts cHd boards to the
law and urges that 1t be kept in
mind and that those who nave not
been observing 1t do so.
Mr.. Chapman stated in giving out
the letter that most of the counties
have been observing the law, but
that in visiting summer schools he
had found that in a number of coun-
ties buildings had been erected with
out compliance with the law.
Wants Building Commissioners.
1--WE hope later" said Mr.. Chap
man. Ito have a law providing for a
commissioner of school buildings. At
present. however the office of the
state superintendent. with the CO.
operation Of the State Board of
Health, passes on the plans"
The letter calls attention to the
fact that nineteen-twentieths of the
regulations governing school building
construction in the various states
have been passed within the last fiji
teen years. At least forty-four of
the forty-eight states have some legal
requirements in this connection.
In two-thirds OF the states, he
says. approval of the plans and speci-
fications or even plans for enlarge
ment of school buildings is vested in
the state authorities. In some
states the boards of health cooper
ate.
Judging from reports to the Unit
ed States Bureau of Education" he
said, general satisfaction has result
ed from such laws. 1t results in
freeing the local boards of demands
of persons with some influence and
who have personal demands to make,
and often results in securing local CO.
operation which could not be OBJ
tanned otherwise II the plans were
made and passed upon solely by To-
cal agencies"
In some states, he said, state funds
are being used to secure local aid.

YEARS
OF AGE LAST FRIDAY

The Republican, with the current
issue, begins the thirty-fourth year
of its existence in this community.
During the period of its issue much
fought, pestience, flood and drouth
have been abroad in the land, both
at home and elsewhere. Times have
been good and otherwise, yet thru
it all the Republican has managed
to weather the storms and we are
pleased to start the 34th year with
determination to pursue that course,
which in our humble judgment makes
for the best interest of the communi-
ty wherein we most largely circulate,
in fact our maxim shall be "Devot-
ed to The Interests of All The Peo-
pie of Ohio County" During our
brief connection with the Paper it
has been our aim to give publicity
TO all worthy causes, endeavoring to
promote that which in our judgment
appeared to the best interest of the
general public. We realize our fee
bleness, and inability to always prop
erly grasp that position which might
prove best for all, yet we have con-
sceiciously tried, and for whatever
may have been extended to us in the
way of mantle of charity for our
frailties we are indeed very greatful.
To those who have given of their
support, in both word and deed, we
acknowledge our thanks and appre-
citation, and with the start of this,
new year, pledge that the maxim
above quoted shall be scrupulously
followed to the end.

BORDEN INQUIRY IS NOW
ENDED; TO REPORT LATER
BY Evening News CORRESPONDENT

TBy Evening News Correspondent
TRENTON, June 6:--The investi-
cation into the circumstances con-
nected with the election of Colonel
Howard s. Borden. of Oceanic. as
brigadier general by the Mackay
probe committee, may now be said
to be at an end. 1t Is expected that
later the committee will have a re-
port of the work Of the examination
into the Borden controversy and
other matters pertaining to the Ma
tional Guard. Senator Mackay,
chairman of the committee, stated
at the conclusion of the hearing here
last Saturday that the committee
will likely have a report later on.
Probably the only unfinished busi-
ness, so far as the controversy is
concerned, is the receipt by the
probe committee of a communica-
ton from Adjutant General Frede-
rick Gilkyson in answer to the
charges made against him at Satur-
days hearing by Borden. General
Gilkyson has obtained permission
from Chairman Mackay to make a
statement of his side of the matter
at a later date, in the event that he
decides he ought to make answer to
the brigadier generals savage at
tack in which he charged the ad-
jutant general with duplicity.
