TOWN .\\l) VICINITY.Tin* Ti'iio Slat us.“Mountaineer. writing from Frost burg to the Cumberland -\7irs May 1,snvs :•In connection with your favorable remarks this morning concern ini' the probable establishment at this placeof State Normal School No. i', you state :Tin* Legislature rejected a hilll pr«»viding for ueh a sehnol. tmi atterthe general appmpria lion lull lia'I hi•cii passed it wa found that it contained an apprnpriat ion of si.’ii.ihh) t'm* t hat jmi'pose.This is wholly incorrect. The Legislature did not ‘‘reject the “bill providing for such a school.’' On the contrary, the bill passed the House, obtained excellent position on the Senate jile and enjoyed a fair chance to pass that body.The pressure of paramount business was very heavy, however. Its friends got together and, “to make assurance doubly sure, without abandoning the bill, they .con. pressed it into a provision of the general appropriation bill, got it inserted and passed along with all the other appropriations.One more word :it the Attorney-CJeneral, as you indicate, “is of opinion that as the appropriation is in the clause relating to ‘schools,’ the ditliculty can be overcome by paying the sum to the State Board of Education, that opinion is in exact accord with the design of the framers and projectors of the proposition and with the wishes of the people of Frostburg. Nobody here ever wanted to handle the money, and nobody wants to handle it now. The popular wish is that the State Board of Education shall use every cent of it in the erection of a model modern Normal School building, and the subsequent appropriations in the conduct of a useful, elhcient school.A statement both true and complete.
