In consentipg to assume this responsible

yet In existence many OF the obligations of the
state which have been funded by the Funding
Board and not cancelled. and that, therefore.
we are 10 danger OF being compelled to lay the
same claims twice; that there have been many
warrants Issued which have been issued with

treated. Z. f.. Of refusing TO pay the same; ali
