dress by Mr.. Morris. who told of Its great

FOR UNIVERSITY
Sentiment in Favor of improve
mentS, but There Is Doubt
About Method of Loan.

From remarks made on the floor of the
house yesterday, it is evident that there
will be little, If, indeed, any opposition
to the appropriation of $50, go for the new
central building at the state university.
The bill Is No. s.. In its present form il
reads that $4,000 shall become available
at once. by direct appropriation; that the
state land board shall proceed as speed
lily as possible to convert into cash tho
investments which it has made of perma-
nent university funds. and these are 70
become available in instaliments of S1z,590
on the first of January of each year until
the total shall have reached 500. 000
/ The question was asked to the effect
that If this money was to be used for the
purpose indicated, why should not the en-
tire $4,000 be included in a lump sum
Instead of splitting il by making a direct
appropriation of $50, 200, and then the other
sdivisiOns as noted.
In order that the members may study
the matter further the bill was made a
special order for Thursday.
