GENERAL CARRANZA THREATENS HOSTILITIES IF AMERICANS MOVE TROOPS LANDSGAPE ENGINEERS GONFER WITH GOUNGIL ABOUT NORMAL SITE Twin City Architects in Bemidji to Make Plans for New Normal School, COUNCIL MAY IMPROVE DIAMOND POINT PARK Plans and Reports to Be Made With- in Two Weeks; Board Meets Here August 9. C. H. Johnson, architect, and A. R. Nichols, landscape engineer, both of the Twin Cities, were in the city yes- terday and inspected the new normal school grounds with a view of mak- ing plans for the buildings of the school and for the park around the school. Location Ideal. Both men stated that they believed the location of the new sixth normal school to be ideal. Mr. Nichols was enthusiastic in regard to the large grounds around the normal school and the Diamonad Point park. At an informal meeting of the city council last evening the two engineers outlined their plans for the school and the improvement of the grounds. They suggested that the city at the sam>» time improve Diamond Point park on the same plan as the nor- mal school grounds. The suggestion ‘was received very favorably by mem- bers of the council and it is believed action will be taken to have the landscape architect of the normal school draw plans for the improve- ment of Diamond Point. Board Here August 8. Plans for the new normal school and for the normal school grounds will be completed in several weeks. Contracts will then be awarded for the work. The state normal school board will meet in Bemidji August 8. The appropriation of $25,000 made by the state legislature for the new school here will be available August first. Work on part of the new build- ings and the improving of the grounds may be begun immediately after Au- gust first, At a recent meeting of the normal school board it was decided to ask the next legislature for an appropria- tion of $250,000 for the construction of buildings. The buildings will in- clude a main structure, dormitory and central heating plant. Best in State. “The Bemidji site is one of the best in the state,” said Architect Johnson. “For beauty it cannot be surpassed. Conditions for study are vnequalled. I shall unqualifiedly recommend it when I appear before the state normal board Monday.” Not in Underbrush. “The location is beautiful, perched there on the shore of the placid and beautiful Lake Bemidji. I suggested to the council that the city improve its park property and the state will improve its property. The people of Bemidji do not want their normal school erected in the underbrush. The state will cut out much woods from its land. Immediately after my meet- ing with the state normal board next Monday I will begin sketching plans to be ready for ratification at the state board of control meeting in Au- gust.” MRS.
