Joint University Bill Passes the House by Huge Vote
The Sleeper bill to permanently fund Ohio and Miami Universities passed the Ohio House by 78 to 13, levying three hundredths of a mill on taxable property. It would allocate seven twelfths to Ohio University and five twelfths to Miami, securing about $30,500 yearly for Ohio University, scalable with state wealth. The measure follows debate led by Speaker Sleeper, with praise for the colleges and notable alumni cited. The Senate is expected to act next week. The Athens infirmary board accepted the resignation of Mr. and Mrs. Dent and appointed Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Baker as superintendent and matron, effective once arrangements are made.
