NAY ABOLISH 1T
State Considers AboIishing
State House Heating Plant.
Members Of Executive Council
Say It's Too Expensive.
COMMITTEE WILL INVESTIGATE
Property at Tenth and Jackson
Needed for Buildings.
Proposal to Next Leg isIature
To Relieve Congestion.

State operation of its central heat
ing and lighting plant for the state
house may be abolished with the next
session OF the legislature. Members
of the state executive council today
decided to make a thoro investigation
of costs of operating an independent
plant and cost of purchasing heat and
light from the Edison company
Governor Allen and other members
of the council have maintained that
the state heating plant has been an
expensive and more or less inefficient
luxury. Heavy expense bills for sOper-
and the fact that the plant consumes
a large amount of coal from the state
prison mines, have tended to discour-
age operation of the pla Mt.
Committee to Investigate.
A special committee composed of
L. J. Pettijohn. secretary Of state;
n. A Turner, state auditor, and Z. T.
Thompson, state treasurer, Will inves-
tigate the heating and lighting plant
costs and make recommendations to
the next legislature. Estimates as to
cost when purchased from the Edison
company will alsorb be made
The state owns the property at
Tenth avenue and Jackson street, on
which the present heating and light
ing plant is located. Several state Of
flciai Is bel1eYed today that IN event the
legislature decided to junk the ex-
pensiye plant that the site might be
used by the state for erection of a
needed new building for state depart
ments.
For several years the state house
has been over crowded. On several
occasions erection of a department of
justice building to house the supreme
court and state library has been urged.
Site For New Buildings.
State officials and many members
of the legislature believe the heating
plant site would provide an excellent
loca ton for d new state building. The
site overlooks the state house grounds
and is opposite the state printing plant
and Memorial hall. In event recon-
mendat lions are made to the legisla
ture to abolish the heating and light
ing plant a proposal may also be car
ried in the report to relieve state
house congestion by construction of a
needed new state building.
In keeping with state heating plant
troubles the executive council voted to
ask the public utilities commission to
look into switching charges for coal.
The switching from railroad yards to
the heating plant is done by the To-
peka Street Railway COMPANY. The
present switching charge is IS cents a
ton, it was stated today.
