LARNED IT IS.
Board of Control Formally Award
Asylum to That Town.

I,arned today landed the new 100000 in
sane hospital for which the 1911 legis
lature made appropriation. Announce
ment that Larned had been successful
was made today by the board of control,
when it received a report from State
Sanitary Engineer w. C. Hoad In which
he declared that the supply and quality
of water at Larned met all requirements.
For months the location of the new
asvl11n has been a matter of speculation
and a half dozen towns in the short
grass district were real live contenders
for the site. The Larned proposition was
finally accepted with the provision that
the towns water supply should prove sur
ficient to warrant tie location of one of
tha charities near the town. Water tess
were made two weeks ago and Prof.
Hoad's report was received last night by
the board.
orable report, Charles Shukers left fer
Larned and today filed condemnation
n~oceedings 1rt1 in the district court of Paw
nee county to condemn $40 acres of land
as a site for the new asylum. Under the
terms of a recent agreement, this land
will cost the state not to exceed $50 an
acre In event the maximum price is
paid, SIS, 200 of the appropriation will be
exhausted in the purchase of land.
No effort will be made by the board OF
control to prepare plans or arrange FOR
the construction of buildings until after
the 1913 session of the legislature. At the
next session, additional appropriations
will be asked and as soon as this money
is available bids will be asked for the
erection of buildings on the site of the
new western Kansas hospital.
