STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
Mr. FANCHER offered a resolution that the Trustees of the State Normal School be requested to report to this House at an early day, showing how much of the $2,000, appropriated in 1879, has been expended for repairing the buildings and grounds, and how much money the city of Terre Haute has placed in the hands of the Trustees for such improvements, and what disposition has been made of the same. He said: In 1879 the Legislature appropriated $2,000 for repairing and improving the ground of the State Normal. The statute under which the Institution was incorporated provides that the city of Terre Haute shall pay one-half of the expense toward keeping the buildings and ground in repair. When this $2,000 was appropriated in 1879, it was on the condition that no part was to be expended until Terre Haute paid in a like sum. He wanted to know if the city paid its portion for this improvement.
The resolution was adopted.
