buildings, but the library. The
work on the tunnel which conveys
the pipe to this, the most distant
building, will be complete within
few days. The new plant which
is the finest of any institution in
the State, was installed by the
Manufacturers Contracting Co. Of
Wilmington for the sum of $15, 900.
The plant is located at the north
west corner of the campus back of
the dormitories. Four boilers of
$50 horsepower each, built by the
Erie City Iron Works, will gen
crate the steam. They have been
set in pairs ten feet apart, and each
boiler is 16 feet long by 6 feet in
diameter. They are externally fir
ed and provided with shaking
CRATES. The building in which the
boilers have been installed is 10 feet
long by 40 feet wide and 16 feet
high to the top of the brick work.
The walls Of the building are Il
inches thick, Of which thickness 6
inches on the inside is white fire
brick. The walls are surmounted
by tl'lssed structural steel gable
roof.
A feature of the plant is the
smoke stack, which is the largest in
Newark. The foundation for the
stack which is 100 feet above
ground, starts II feet underground
It's first two feet is made of concrete
reinforced by square twisted steel
rods. This slab is II feet in dia-
meter and has a bearing surface of
3 IA tons per square foot. The re-
naming 9 feet Of the foundation
IS hollow concrete cylinder 13
feet outside diameter and 6 feet 5
inches inside diameter, with two
arched openings, lined with fire
brick, into which the hot ashes
from the boilers are drawn. The
stack proper was built of custodis
radial brick by the Alphons Custo-
dis Chimney Construction Com
pany of New York. 1t tapers from
II feet in diameter at the bottom
to 6 feet in diameter when the
height of 100 feet is reached.
The tunnel which runs from the
boiler house to the various build
ings is large enough for a man to
walk through and work in it il
case any of the pipes need looking
after. The tunnel is of concrete, 4
feet 6 inches wide and 6 feet high
at the highest point, the roof being
arched. The total length of the
tunnel is 531 feet and at one point
the floor is 15 feet underground.
1t is lined with asphalt and tar
paper to insure it being waterproof
Starting at the boiler house, the
tunnel runs straight for 12S feet
and then so feet diagonally be-
tween the gymnasium and dormi-
tories. 1t then continues straight
for 116 feet to a point near the en-

STATES UNIFORM
STANDARDS LOST
WEIGHTS And MEASURES
SECRETARY OF STATE CANNOT
COMPLY WITH RECENT ACT,
LACKING STANDARDS.

Little Rock, Sept 29.-The last leg
islature passed an act providing for
uniform system of weights and
measures throughout the state, or
rather for the enforcement of such
law that had already been enacted.
1t was provided, among other
things, that the SECRETARY of state
shall "seal," or 0. K, every county
standard of weight or measure. for
which he shall receive fee of "a per
county for $500 for the state.
But the state has no standards. 1t
may have had at one time, away back
in 1886, when the first act was passed,
but if so they have since been lost or
destroyed, and no vestige of them re-
mains.
That he might put the law into eff
feet, Secretary of State Hodges wrote
to S. w. Stratton of the Bureau of
Standards, Washington, D. c., re-
questing that the state be furnished
with a system of weights and meas
ures. He has just received a letter
from Mr.. Stratton, in which he says:
"The federal government does not
now manufacture standards for the
states, but recommends that they be
purchased from some reputable man.
ufacturer of standards and sent to
this bureau for certification and seal
ing, if found to comply with our re-
quirements."
He furnishes a list of the weights
and measures needed to make a COM
plete system, costing in the aggregate
So, 1926. But the secretary of state
has no funds with which to purchase
these standards, and under the law
tests made by county standards are
MT official unless they have been seal
ed by the state standards. And so it
appears that the law cannot be put in
to effect thoroughly until there has
been additional legislation. In the
meantime, many counties are under
taking to put the law into effect, for,
as a rule, their fees will be ample to
justify the purchase of a complete
system of standards.

neatness and accuracy, as well as in
fairness as to valuations, with any on

AUDITOR SAYS HIS
PLAN Is LAWFUL
TAKESISSUE With MOOSE
COLEMAN DECLARES STATE
HAS RIGHT TO BORROW
CAPITOL FUND.

Little Rock, Sept. Estate
Auditor l.. L. Coffman takes issue
with Attorney General w. L. Moose
on the provisions of the law which
the latter has construed to prohibit
Mr.. Coffman's plan of borrowing
money from the state capitol fund to
carry on the current expenses of the
state government and institutions.
In a statement just issued, he says:
"The governor having stated posi-
lively that he would not, under any
circumstances. call special session
of the legislature, l had given up
hopes of remedying the depleted con-
dition of our general revenue fund
by that means and had considered
the whole matter closed.
~'But in the light of the opinion of
the attorney general that the method
proposed by me, viz: to borrow from
the capitol fund, would be unconsti-
tutional, | feel that l owe it to my
self and the many people throughout
the state who have urged the same
course, to show that there is abso-
lutely nothing in the constitution
which the proposed remedy would
contravene.
at is not necessary to be lawyer
to read and construe the very few
lines which the attorney general
bases his opinion. Art. Is, Sec. H.,
reads: NO moneys arising from a
tax levied for one purpose shall be
used for any other purpose
Common sense alone will tell you
that the word used in this sentence
is synonymous with spent and when
you read the sentence, p" no
moneys arising from a tax levied for
one purpose shall be spent for any
other purpose you have exactly
what the trainers of it intended it to
mean.
"You had as well argue that the
particular pieces and denominations
of. money which were paid into the
capitol fund must be set aside and
kept intact, for otherwise it would
be used by the treasurer for paying
out money for warrants drawn on
other, funds.
1.-The attorney general himself sat
upon a board only some sixty days
ago and voted to lend part of this
same capitol fund and part of the
pension fund as we'll to certain banks
throughout the state, undr authority
given him by an act of the legisla-
ture. His very action in so doing
bears out my construction of the con-
stitution that the word use means
spend and that he die not consider
that ne was violating the constitution
in merely lending from those funds,
the purpose for which it was levied.
What. then, is the difference between
lending the capitol fund TO q bank
and lending it to the general revenue
fund.-"
