JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, July g.
A bill providing for the appropriation
of $2.000,0o0 for the construction of a
plant to manufacture cement, tile and
brick, to be erected and maintained
by the state, was introduced in the
house yesterday by Representative
Hams of Saline county and Smith of

The plant, according to the bill,
would be controlled by a bipartisan
board of four members of which the
governor and state g~eologist wuld be
ex-officio members.
The sponsors o fthe bill are MEM
bers Of the special committee which
recently investigated the cement sit
uation in Missouri. Governor Hyde

cial message is necessary to get the
measure before the Legislature.
The sponsors of the bill claim that
cement and these other building ma
terials are altogether too high In Mis-
souri, and that the state by manu-
featuring them on a cost basis, could
provide people who would build with
the neesary materials to eliminate
