county, and situated far enough from
Henderson to satisfy requirements
Set up by the committee, who Will
approve the site selected for the

Mr.. Kittrell has offered the State
some 60 to IS acres of the tract free
if they can use this amount, without
any obligation to buy more. II more

to the State at not more than ten
dollars an acre.
One member of the State COM
mittee, all three of whom are mem
bers of the State legislature, has Civ
en- the assurance that the offer of a
free site will not influence the COM
mittee, so long as the price to he
charged is reasonable. Prior to this

quirement as to the amount of land
required.
While definite information was not
available, it was understood here,
Mr. Allen said, that the State COM

ment and an asset to the section,
and those who have inspected the
site are confident, it is said, that the
offer made by Mr.. Kittrell will re-
ceive favorable consideration.
