Plans for the Normal School.

New York, 1895

The local board of managers of the Jamaica normal school, at their meeting on Thursday, directed the building committee to notify the architect, Mr. Pierce, to go to Albany and consult with the state superintendent of public instruction as to plans for the school building, and make a draft of the plan that the superintendent selects.

Commissioner McCormick sent in his resignation as a member of the board of managers. Action on it was deferred.


Migration of West End Lawyers.

A panic seems to have struck the lawyers of the west end of the town. Counselor G. T. Walker has removed to Boston, Mass.; Counselor F. B. Downing has given up his practice and is working on a farm at Orange Centre, and Counselor Lorenzo Lovejoy has given up his office. But Counselor Merrill is still there.
