As usual, the automoliile testing plant is receiving its sliareof interest, which we hope to heighten soon by the acquisitionof a standard chassis, thus aftording facilities for the study ofdesign and performance of these machines. The laboratories are in a \cry crowded condition now. allof the space being taken uj) by machines. We hope that theLegislature will come to the rescue soon with an ajipropriationfor new shops for the Dei)artment of Practical Mechanics, sothat the iMechanical Engineering school can use all of the spacein the Engineering Mechanical Engineering Building 29
