STATE INSPECTION REVEALS FILTH CONDITION HERE COLLEGE OIL Lloyd Shiner Released Because Of Insufficient Evidence KBP0TE Appropriation For Buildings Is Left To Governor Senate Bill No, 54, establishing a junior college at Roosevelt was passed by the Utah state house of representatives Wednesday by a vote of 51-after having been passed by the senate earlier in the week with a similarly large majority. The bill for a junior college at Richfield was also passed. Neither of the bills carried an appropriation for buildings, and the general appropriations bill passed by the senate Wednesday did not carry any specific appropriation for them. A large fund was placed in the bill, however, to be used at the discretion of Governor Henry H. Blood for state buildings if and when the money is available. Unless some change is written into the appropriations bid by the house, the fate of the jun-o- r college is left entirely In the hands of the governor, who also still has the power of veto over (Continued oh Page 8) 2, sanitation project fthd reservation roads.
