that $4,000 for the purchase OF sew
eral acres OF land be sliced off the
amount. The bill carried an appro-
priation Of $4,000 Of which s1b0. 900

building destroyed by fire and $4,000
for acquiring additional ground. John
sen pointed out that the city of Lewis
ton was donating over five acres OF
ground to the state normal, that there
were TWO houses on the land sought to

economy on the part of the state to cut
off $4,000 for the purchase of lanl
which had been secured at a bargain
and then be obliged to pay $4,000 q
few years later. He cited the appro-
priation for the technical institute 1T
Pocatello. which he said was turned
down for economy reasons a few years
ago and now the state was obliged to
pay moro than double the amount for
the same land.
