The Normal Training School

The situatiou in regard to the Normal training school at Ypsilauti is in a very much mixed up mess. Governor Bich had decreed that the building must be finished within the appropria;ion of $25,000, so Contractor Whalen figured on changing the tile roof to one of slate, pressed brick for the walls to cornmon brick, and pine finishings for the interior instead of oak. He then Eound that the building could be ooinpleted inside of the appropriation. It was supposed that in view of this state of affairs the erection of the building could be gone on with.but the governor bas put another block in the way of the wheels of progression, this time in the statement that the heating and furnishing of it must also come out of the $25,000. The contractor will not make any further move in the matter until the architect furuishes uew plans and specifications for tbe building. The school shouid have been in readiness Eor occupancy by this time, but it is just as far off completion now as it was [ast f all. The fouundations for the buildings have already cost $5,000.
