MAY LOSE FUND TO BUY MORE LAND
Bill in House Provides for Ad-
dition Printing Plant.
Land ON West Tenth Would Be
Condemned by State.

Condemnation proceedings may be
brought by the state to secure addi.
tional grounds for new wing of the
state printing plant if the legislature
passes a bill introduced in the house
today by Hill, of Pottawatomie county.
The bill carries an appropriation of
$4,000 which may be increased to
$500 in the committee.
1t is Representative Hills plan to
secure possession of property west Of
the state plant on West Tenth avenue.
This property would give to the state
that portion of the block between the
present plant and the new Masonic
temple on Tenth avenue between jack
son and Van Buren streets. The tract
is so feet wide and 130 feet deep and
would give to the state adequate
grounds for construction of a new
wing to the present state printing
plant.
There is no provision in the bill for
immediate construction of an addition
to the printing plant. The building is
already crowded, tho, and additional
space must soon be provided. Acquisi-
ton of lots west of the present plant
would be provided under the condem-
nation act. If the committee finds
that the $4,000 appropriation is in
adequate, a fund of $4,000 may be
asked
