WIN Ignore State Board.

70

are concerned, their relation to the
state board Of control. They will not
recognize the authority of the state
board of control. The regents rely on
a decision of Acknowledgement Douglas,

isdiction of the board of control in
furious rather than beneficial.

was $500, 200. The estimated cost of
the dam, however, was placed at $780,
900; while the recent Investigations
prove that it cannot be completed for
less than 1925, ZOO.
