1t seems there was an error in the bill
appropriating money for the Agricultural
College farm. Mr.. A. Leonard and Hon.
Wm E. Coleman both claim that the Leg
islature only intended to appropriate
$4,000 for cattle, sheep and hog barns, and
that an amendment to that effect passed
the House. but by some mistake the
original S., 900, as well as the $4,000, was
left in the bill, making an appropriation
of $14,0 900 instead of $4,000. Mr.. Leonard
and Prof. Coleman object to the board at
tempting to use what the Legislature did
not intend to give. The wording of the
bill. however, gives ST., 600 for ''barns" and
the $1,000 for farms" instead of complet-
ing the unfinished barn with it. The mat
ter is now before the Supreme Court, in
the shape of a maudamus against Auditor
Walker to compel him to pay out the
SIS. 900.
