Ten Year Building Plan Shunted In Kansas Senate
In Topeka on February 13 the Senate sent back to committee a proposed ten year building program for Kansas state schools. Senator Rolla W. Coleman defended the plan to tax tangible property to raise about $600,000 yearly for KU, Kansas State, and the state colleges at Hays Emporia and Pittsburg, while opponents urged legislative control and funding limits. The debate centered on whether the plan would end piecemeal spending or cede building power to a regents board and risk stalemate.
