and manufacturers and even labor are
given the preference by the board OF
control in all expenditures relating to
the various state institutions. Only on
one or two occasions has there been
any attempt at a combine and these
were quickly dissipated when the board
gave notice of its independence and
called for new appropriations or went
abroad for it's wants.
Recently additions were made in the
power plant of the Anoka asylum. The
amount Of the contract was $14, ia. OF
this amount over $4,000 was invested
in local material and work. At the
same institution a service building was
erected at a cost of $38,498, and OF
the amount, 1886 covered Mlnneso-
ia materials and labor.
Of the forty-one improvements made
| by the board and included in the list
!! submitted in answer to the demand OF
the legislature better than a majority
show a decided preference for home
material and labor. Because Of lack
Of development and the cost in olved
| in it's manufacture some Minnesota
building materials are considerably
higher than those Of outside manufac'
ture, but they are specified just the
same and in the proposals made, the
specifications for the buildings or i'm
|provements under consideration are Of
ten remodeled in order to meet them.
How Minnesota material and labor
figures in many Of the building con:
tracts let by the board can be- judged
from the following

THE STATE BOARD Of CONTROL
BULLETIN NO. 27-MINNESOTA
MATERIAL USED IN STATE
BUILDINGS
Resume of Operations of the 1nst1-
buttons under the State Board Of Con-
troll for the Biennial Period Ending
July 81, 1915.

New buildings, alterations, additions
and improvements made at the various
state institutions the past three years
represented an investment Of $780,
1853; and the gratifying feature Of it
all is that better than 70 per cent OF
the material used and the labor en-
ployed was Minnesota product.
Answering demand made by the
Minnesota legislature few weeks ago
for information relative to the use OF
Minnesota building materials and Ia
Dor in the enlargement and improve
ment of the various state institutions
under it's jurisdiction the state board
of control specified forty-one improve
ments and of the $1,862,768 invested
it was able to state that 81, 3lS,7S9 OF
the amount had remained in the state.
Of the total 70.S per cent had been
invested in building material and labor
bearing the Minnesota stamp. Only
1912 per cent had gone outside the state
and this was because of the fact that
the material required could not oe OBJ
tanned in Minnesota or that there was
such a marked difference in bids that
the board in justice to the taxpayers OF
the state was compelled to accept the
outside offers.
All things being equal or in a meas
ure so, Minnesota contractors, dealers,

/ These two grades happened to be the
only ones to hold sessions the latter
part Of last week, the others being dis
missed to allow the teachers to attend
the Central Minnesota Educational as
ISOLATION convention at St. Cloud. Evi-
IDENTIFY the pupils in these grades decid-
ed that just because their teachers
would not attend the convention was
no reason for keeping them at school
and they took steps to make it SO I'M
comfortable for all in the school that
it would be necessary to dismiss the
classes. Their scheme, if such was
their plan, worked out very well, for
the odor became so unbearable that
the teachers consulted the members Of
the school board and were advised to
dismiss the classes for the remainder
of the week.
