Plans Revised For College Buildings
The board of control updated blueprints for Fairmont College gymnasium and Concord College library after PWA Director M. L. O Neale warned that allotments may be cancelled without starting work. PWA loans and grants exceeding 200000 were approved for 1935. The state seeks to fund these with student fees, but the attorney general says fees cannot be charged for building use. The board considers extra recreational facilities to be paid after use, and the supreme court will decide legality. Construction begins for Potomac State College faculty homes as a PWA project.
