WANT THREE SCHOOLS
Bill For Appropriation For Only One
Normal Re-referred To Ways and
Means Committee.

The Normal school battle was
opened in earnest in the House We'd
nesday, when the bill for an appro-
priation for single centrally located
school was brought up for considera-
tion.
Advocates Of three normal schools
won the opening skirmish in the
House by vote of 3S to q the bill
recommended by the committee on
ways and means was rejected. AT the
same time the House re-referred the
bill tolthat committee with instructions
to make provision for the three
schools at Weston, Ashland and Mon
mouth.
The bill came up as special order
at 10 o'clock in the morning, Jones.
Lincoln and Polk, Immediately
moved the re-referrence of the bill,
with instructions that provision be
made for state support Of the three
schools as recommended by majority
OF the Board of Normal School Reg
ents. Hawley, also of Polk, the home
of the Monmouth school, supported
Jones by contending that the geog-
raphical conditions of the state are
such as naturally to require at least
three normal schooIf.
Opponents Of the Normal school
combination, however, gained one
slight advantage when, by standing
vote of 80 to IS, they adopted motion
instructing the ways and means COM
mittee to report three separate bills
providing separate appropriations for
each of the three schools"

cannot be well evaded. The credit Of
having proven all OF this rests with
Trinidad mon WHO pushed the project
to the test and expended tims and
money in proving the wisdom of their
theories.
Engineer Danford has prepared q
statement showing the cost Of hand
ling the materiai thus far. Dirt has
beSn handled at . cost Of cents .
cuHic yard. loose rock at 10 cents q
yard and solin rock at . cost 81 38
cents q x6rd. The price that would
have been charged BY the average
contractor would have. been Is. 10
and 80 CENTS respectively.
These figures. when shown to the
members OF the 'penitentiar1' board
and delegates from different Good
Roads organizations have caused uni
versal surprise andiwill doubtless re-
suit In many hundreds of miles Of
fine highways being built, not only in
Colorado, but all over the Union. at .
small cost BY convict labor.
Six bridges have been built thus far
at total cost OF material and haul
age OF $736.41. A conservative esti-
mate of what this would have cost by
contract is &4.400. The biennial report
of State Engineer Jaycox which will
appear In a short time will show that
the entire cost of building the highway
including the cost Of feeding and
housing the men. equipment and ma
terial. is 81 per cent less than It would
have been BY free labor.
The success OF tho work thus, Tar
has encouraged those in charge to lay
moro extensive plans for the ensuing
season. The present equipment has
not been large enough and. now that
the rockiest portion Of the road has
been completed, more teams and
scrapers are almost u necessity. North
of Trinidad 1t IL planned to rock bal
last the highway all the way. For this
work a portable rock crusher will be
needed. II the $780, 900 appropriation
is made. this crusher will be purchas-
ed as will also whatever other equip
ment IL needed.
