State Textile
Institute
Plans Widened
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In tho Sir Walter Hotel
nv HENRY AVERILL.

Raleigh, May l5.-As plans for the
state Textile Institute unfold it be-
comes clear that the project is broad
er in scope than was generally as
sumed when the 1871 legislature Ell
acted the bill setting up a commis-
sion to pick a site for the project.
The commission is authorized to
select this site, and an appropriation
of $50, 700 for construction OF the M
stitute and installation Of machinery
is authorized subject to guberna-
torial approval; but it now appears
that it will be much more than q
$4,000 setup.
In the first place it is thought GER
tain that a site for the Institute will
be donated without cost 10 the state.
At least eight different localities
are in competition for the plant,
which should insure that it Will take
a really handsome offer to land 1t.
Charlotte, Gastonia, Concord, ohel-
by and other cities are known to be
after the schoOl-and there are 9th
ers equally anxious.
When the location has been select
ed. the next question Wall be con-
structlon and equipment-and here
again it is believed that there Will
be little. if amy, cost to ne state
Probabilities are that the site Sc
lected will already have a ready
made plant building or buildings,
which will leave only machinery and
installation u~naccounted for. Here
again, il is expected that manutac-
tuners and distributors OF textile
continent will be glad to give
with the expectation that graduates
of the Institute will be, llgufallVely'
statesmen for their products.
SO the state thinks 1t VIII get a
lot for its $4,000.
