Work on the new dormitory at the
state scltool for blind was gotten un­
der way ^this week. This announce­
ment marks the culmination of a long
fight on the part of the friends of
blind wards of the state who have
for years been housed in the frame
administration building, long re­
garded as a serious fire hazard. The
new building will be of brick con­
struction, strictly fireproof through­
out, 47 by 180 feet, one story with
full basement. Completely furnished
it will cost approximately 381,950
with the federal government supply­
ing 831,950 through a PWA grant and
the state putting up 360,000 through
in appropriation by the 1935 regular
session. The building is to be com­
pleted within six months.
