stood the Great Western would take II

The surveys have been completed from

Plan for New Buildings.

tect Liebbe of the state board of control
went to Glenwood today from Vinton,
where they will look after the immediate
needs OF the state institution there and

1t is anticipated that the board will have
some difficulty in providing for the repair
