Governor Leedy Seeks Urgent Aid After University Fire
Governor Leedy traveled to Lawrence to meet with state university regents about rebuilding the power house destroyed by fire. The loss imperils heat and light and motor power, risking a shutdown. Temporary heating could be found with about $3,000, while a July 1 maintenance funds gap and possible special session loom if funds fall short. A chemistry hall could cost $40,000 to $350,000, potentially tied to the same appropriation.
