When the New Appropriation Becomes Available-Some of the Speeches Made

This morning's Detroit papers contain the following additional particulars of the passage of the one-quarter mill University tax:

Rep. Waterbury, of Oakland County, was the only man that took the floor against the bill,  and Reps. Carton, Chamberlain, Lusk, Cheever, Dingley, and Heineman all made eloquent addresses for the state's greatest institution. Carton said that a man might send an express package to "John Jones, Ann Arbor, " with no other address, from any corner of the English-speaking world, and it would go straight to Ann Arbor, Mich., so famous has the university made the town. Even Uncle Ben. Colvin made a good speech for the bill, saying he had never been to school but 30 days in his life but he wanted the young men and women of today to have educational advantages. It was first considered in committee of the whole, and when the committee arose the rules were suspended on Dudley's motion, and it was passed at once. An amendment was added on Chamberlain's motion, so as to give the university the benefit of the increase in 1899. Representative Dingley called attention to the fact that the state appropriates half a million every year to take care of the insane and that it ought not to begrudge half that amount to improve the minds of its men and women.

Dan Hutchins, Secretary Wade, and Dr. R. S. Copeland, of the university, were in Lansing and were delighted with the passage of the bill. The increased income will enable the regents to build a science building and homeopathic hospital. There are now two hospitals, both of which are crowded. The present homeopathic hospital will be turned over to the regular school, and a new one will be built, probably across from the gymnasium, on the corner of N. University and Washtenaw ave.
