fortunate IN being located ia the prlu-
eipal comfy or the state because when
King county sends harmonious delega-
ton 20 the legislature tho interests Of
the university are sure 10 be property
cared for. This WIS true. "a the result
viii ehow la the recent session OF the
state legislature Tho board OF regents
carefully considered al the future needs
Of the university and set them forth In
detail In the third biennial report 10 the
governor Soon after the session Of the
legislature convened IL WAS demonstrated
that II would be impossible 20 carry out
all the improvements desired and recon-
meudHd by the board OF regents The
principal obstruction 10 these plans was.
OF course the lack OF money to make the
appropriations desired. IN fact II soon
became evident that 1t would be i'm
possible 90 make new improvements IN
less some special provision was made
to meet the expense thus Incurred A
plan was therefore devised TO issue bonds
on the landed interests of the university
10 raise sufficient money To permit the
legislature 10 make the appropriations
that we're absolutely necessary TO carry
out the essential parts Of the regents
plans for the new institution The bin 10
