In reintroducing it today as a separate bill, Senator Blaine said | he would seek a vote on it at the vegu- lar session in December. The bill authorizes a $5,000,000 bond | issue to cover construction, and directs that the new dormitories be placed | | either on the present site or within one mile of the Capitol Building, with accommodations for not less than 1,500 or more than 2,500 persons.
