Would Cut Allowance

Senator j. f. Eastgate Of Grand
Forks arose to ask a question. 81
want to know whether this school is
to be run as a school Of forestry OF
just as another normal school," he
said. 81 can see where the state
may need a school of forestry and il
that is what this school is to be il
may be all right to reopen it but i
it's just going to be a joke, thinl
it had better be kept closed"
