Purchase
SACRAMENTO, Call, July 2O.-At the
meeting of the State Board of Examiners
to-day resolution authorizing the pur-
chase from the Germania Savings and
Loan Society of San Francisco OF $50, 900
worth of Los Angeles Courthouse Az per
cent bonds was adopted. With the accrued
interest of $11s and $3.50 premium the
bonds will cost $780, 1926.
When the claim from the Santa Clara
County Woman's Relief Corps Home As
sociation was presented IN the sum of
$1297 So it caused considerable discus
sion, and Governor Budd refused to sign
it, on the ground that he believed it to be
unconstitutional. Deputy Attorney-Ge
eral Anderson signed 1t, however, and said
he would run the bill up against Controller
Colgan. who could settle the dispute on its
legality withholding the warrant and
awaiting legal proceedings.
Labor Com mmissioner Fitzgerald ap-
peared before the board in relation to de-
ticiency. The board agreed upon allowing
deficiency some time ago, but it
rescinded its action because it felt upon
investigation that it could not legally
grant the deficiency. In the meantime
Fitzgerald has been paving office rent out
OF his own pocket and his deputies have
been working without compensation.
Governor Budd said he could not find any
law favorable to Fitzgerald, and could not
grant a deficiency; but eventually the
claims for running expenses of the labor
bureau were referred to the Attorney Gen.
eral. This decision was evidently disap-
pointing to Labor Commissioner Fitzger-
aid, who stated that if no deficiency was
created he could do nothing.
"Then don't do anything" cheerily re-
turned the Governor, as he closed the ses-

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, July 2o.-The
Oiai Valley Railroad is now assured and
its construction will begin not later than
September 1. A subsidy of $4,000 has
been given by the inhabitants OF the val
ley and the necessary right of way secured.
The construction is in charge of Captain
Cross. This railroad will in a measure
revolutionize the Oiai, but the mountain
valley is spacious enough to, in measure,
preserve its quiet and its wild picturesque
ness, even though a train of cars glides
through it several times a day. Such a
connection With the outside world will be
an infinite benefit to farmers and fruit
growers, while to the travelling public it
will open new privileges and new delights.
