Eight representatives were absent. Backers of the bill attributed the narrow setback to a memo distributed early today by the office of Gov. Calvin L. Rampton, which stated that the governor recognized the merit of the purchase, bnbIfeels the state could use that money imjre bemficially m other wavs and that our existing parks and recreation system could better use the money. The message also said Rampton hopes the matter will receive further study. The governor has been out of town all week attending the National Governor's Conference in Washington but apparently approved the statement by telephone. Todays vote provided an interesting tactical lesson for legislators, as some opponents apparently registered yes votes on the electronic scoreboard until backers were lulled into halting an effort to locate absent representatives. The cagey opponents then suddenly switched their votes to no just before the roll call was closed. rv: Hr "!SSJ 4 'V?
