START WORK ON
HEATING PLANT

Work was begun Tuesday morning
breaking the ground for the install
alton of the new heating plant for
the Normal Training school. Hugh
Merwin. of Colorado Springs, has
the contract for the excavating and
brick work, and the st. John
Plumbing company, OF Colorado
Springs, was awarded the heating

On account of the lack Of funds,
the work of installing the plant has
been delayed and during the early
cool weather the new building was
kept warm by an extension of the
plant used in the main building.
The money from the appropria-
ton for the heating plant is now
available and this morning num-
ber of teams from the Owens Trans
fer company were started at work
on the excavation. The plant will
cost about $4,000.

statements by S NJ. Edgell, manager

KENEHAN and
LEDDY DIFFER

There may not be enough money
in the state treasury to pay officials
and employees of the state depart
ment this year.
This question has caused the old
feud between the state treasurer
and the state auditor to break out
anew at the Capitol building.
Treasurer Kenehan made the
statement that he believed it would
be very close call if first and sec
ond class appropriations were paid
this year. He intimated that he
would rather hold up salaries than
run the chance Of not paying the
appropriations to penal institu-
tions.
"If there isn't enough money to
pay BOTH" said Kenehan, II think
the second class should be paid
first, because all the penal institu-
tions come in that class. If we
didn't pay second class appropria-
tions we should have to open the
doors and let the inmates out on
the public. Salaries come in the
first class
State Auditor Leddy is on the
other side of the fence. He believes
there is enough money in the treas
ury to pay all first and second class
appropriations and at least one
third of the third class.
