Of many eastern states, where, in order

The Investigation committee, aP-
pointed % visit state institutions and
-ce whether they were efficiently con
Quoted, today made their report What
they had TO say concerning the GIr.i-
sou Normal School. follows:
! h, school has approximately 800
winter students and GOO summeF
students. There Is but one school
building proper, having two storcs
and a basement containing 10 class
rooms and several office room.
The floors arc in very poor conditI0u
and the building seems TO be IN
sound.
A new building is under coursa %
construction and only the baseT.u
Is completed. During the sum er
the sCh0o. mas been able 20 carr ON
BY using the Gunnison County HIGH
School building.
There Is adequate heating equip
mcnt for the new building, so That
II viii not be necessary TO add any
additional heating facilities.
The douiitoTy for girls is frame
building which cannot be used Tor
many years without the addition of
considerable repairs and impnve-
mcnts.
This school is now not only giving
work for teachers. in addition there
TO is giving a regular collegc course
and Is comforting the b. A. degree.
The school reported a deficit of
S26,ST9.O0 and asked for S75 10000 |
in addition thereto, which is claimed
would be necessary for the COM
plction of the structure now started. !
We recommend that an appropria-
tion be made to pay the deficit. We
also feel that sufficient funds should
be appropriated TO complete the
building now under construction.
Another important measure that
passed the house this week, appropri- I
ates S25, 900 to meet similar approp-
ration from the government for the !
eradication of tuberculosis of domestic
stock. This is wise appropriation,
and know that the stockmen of Gun |
nison county will be pleased to hear
of its passage.
House Bill No. 35, changing the
name of the Normal School 10 The
Western State College Of Colorado, is /
on the senate calender for second read /
ing today. Will phone you as 10 its
progress later. The deficiency bill is
coming along as well as could be ex-
pected.
Yours Very truly,
