Ten Days More Granted for Technical School Fund Drive
Canvassers for the National Technical Institute fund receive ten additional days to raise funds to purchase the Arsenal grounds from the United States. Subscriptions come in steadily with several $100 pledges. Promoters say the extra time should secure success and aim for about $20,000 from popular pledges, plus larger gifts to reach $150,000 for site purchase. A Propylaeum musicale tonight features prominent Indianapolis performers to aid the drive.
