The Eleventh Wyoming legislature passed extensive reforms and created more counties than in decades while approving large appropriations. Outlays include about $95 000 to add to the state penitentiary funded by a quarter mill tax, increased university funding, $25 000 extra for the Lander institute for the mentally impaired, a liberal state fair grant, and a new state industrial institute estimated to cost over $100 000. The dead and blind building will serve its original purpose with deaf and blind care relocated there. A late session bill allows licensed athletic clubs to hold boxing contests up to 25 rounds with five ounce gloves for annual license fees of $2560. Governor Casey vetoed a $4 500 reimbursement for Hugh Clark related to Arbuckle cattle dipping, but the amount remains in the general appropriations bill.
