MAY ACCEPT OFFER
FOR ACADEMY SITE
If a plan presented to Attorney Gen
eral Crawford by John Kollock, a mem
ber of the board of directors of the
Bishop Scott academy, is approved by
the attorney general, it is probable that
the Ashland offer of a site for the
academy will be accepted.
in the course of Investigation of the
orrered site tha board of directors found
that certain details of title were not ab
solutely satisfactory and It is on this
matter of title aa well as some other
features of the- offer that the attorney
general has been asked to pass. ,
One of the provisions of the Ashland
offer was that no definite action la to
be taken until after the next meeting
of the state legislature, - when, it was
promised, the offer would be ratified by
that body. The directors of the acad
emy do not wish to delay that long If it
can be helped and the plan proposed by
Mr. Kollock would make Immediate ac
tion possible
"If we accept the Ashland offer," said
Mr, Kollock, this morning, "it will mean
the expenditure of about $10,000 en the
part of the board. We dlo not care to
assume such expenditures on promises
of what the legislature may do. We
want to know for sure, and will know if
the proposition we have placed before
the attorney general is favorably report
ed on. We expect an answer in the
course of a week or two.?
