OPINION ON SCHOOL LAW.
Dlsposition of School Funds Clearly Set
Forth by the Solicitor
General.

Hon, Plaeido Sandova., Superintendent of
Public Instruction, Santa Fe, \. NJ
Santa Fe, N. NJ; Dec. %, 1997.-Dear
Sir: ! am in receipt Of your letter dated
Dec. 9th, enclosing letter from Treas
urer Bergere, OF Valencia county, and in
which you request my official opinion as
to whether any part of the school fund
in the hands OF the county treasurer to
the credit OF the several school districts
may lawfully be used in erecting or re
pairing school houses.
Replying thereto, | beg to say that l
find from the records OF my Office that
this precise question was in 1892 submit
ted to the then solicitor general, Hon. E.
l.. Bartlett. and that in his two opinions
addressed to your predecessor in office
and dated respectively May 4, 1892, and
August 3. 1892, the matter was fully con
sldered. I assume that copies Of these
opinions are among the files OF your Of
fee and for that reason they are not
more fully set forth herein. 1t seems
sufficient for me to say that upon care.
full re.eIaminatiou OF the subject, | see
no reason to doubt the soundness of the
conclusions reached by General Bartlett
in those opinions, and the following Ian
guage taken from his letter to your Of.
flee, dated May 4, 1892. is reiterated as
the law in my opinion:
From all which ii. e. the law quoted)
il appears that the only limitation upon
the use OF school funds for legitimate
echool purposes. including the purchase
Of sites and erection of buildings, is in
the expenditure OF the proceeds OF the
general territorial levy (secton "a, chap
ter %, laws OF 1917 which can only be
used for paying expenses, OF necessary
forms and blank reports and school laws
the salary OF the county superintendent
OF public instruction and the expense.
Of his cffice, and paying school teachers
(See law just cited) and that all othel
funds from whatever source derived may
properly bo applied 10 building schoo
house sites"
So far therefore as the warrant ISSUED
upon Treasurer Bergere aud mentioned
10 his letter to you, dated December 6
is designed to subject to its payment tn,
proceeds OF the general tax levy fo
school purposes, the same is illegal ant
it is the duty OF Mr.. Bergere to refuse
payment. The proceeds OF the genera
tax levy are. as above pointed out, de
dicatcd TO the purposes above mentioned
among thom the payment Of teachers
and such funds cannot be lawfully div
erted to another use, such as the erec
tim or repairing Of school houses. Funds
derived from sources other than the

Things just Booming.

The NeW MCrtcdn recived, last week,
news from Bland that greater activity
and more cheering conditions prevail in
The Cochlti mining district than ever be.
fore in the five years history Of the phe.
nominal gold camp.
The hotels, restaurants, and boarding
houses in Bland are crowded with people
from the outside, every body has plenty
of work aud business OF all kinds is good.
As result OF tho materially improved
conditions Arthur A. Henry, who closed
his business place in Nov. and went to
Albuquerque to spend the winter, will
return in few days and reopen his
house soon after the new year. This
pIeases his masy friends at the Cochiti

Trans-Mississippi and International Ex-
position.

Trans NJ 1sSisSippi and International Ex-
position.
Forming the great entrance to the ex-
position grounds, and to remain after
the magnificent buildings now beng
erected have disappeared, is the Arch
OF States, built of massive masonary and
commemorative of the unison of the
states in the Trans Mississippi region.
In harmony with the ilea, an invitation
has been issued by Governor Silas A.
Holcomb, of Nebraska, to all of the ex-
ecutives Of the states named asking
them to contribute one course OF stone
from the quarries of their respective
states. The foundation layer will be
composed of Nebraska stone Of enduring
qualify and on this the courses con-
tributed by the different states will be
laid in symmetrical order. The form of
the structure is that of a triumphal arch,
fifty feet high, twenty five feet deep, and
sixty eight feet to the top Of its parapet.
The opening in the arch is twenty feet
wide and thrtyfve feet high to the
keystone. Strong, simple abutments on
either side assist the arch to carry an
extremely rich and broad frieze Of a
double arcade of twenty-four arches,
containing shields decorated in color
with the coats of arms of the Trans Mis-
eissippi states. Upon the opposite side
the frieze is repeated and the coats of
arms of the remaining states of the
union are displayed at the ends. The
approximate cost Of construction, mate
rial and ornaments is about $4,000.
Tue executive committee of the Trans.
Mississippi exposition and Gov. Hol
comb are strongly IN favor of triumphal
arch suggestive of all the states in the
Trans Mississippi country, that shall
endure for generations upon the site of
the coming great international exposi
ton.
Rapid progress is being made in all
departments OF building on the grounds
of the exposition. The Mines and Min.
ing, Agriculture, Machinery, and Elec-
trIcity, Manufactures, Liberal Arts, and
Fine Arts buildings are all inclosed.
The government building in the Grand
Court OF Honor is rapidly assuming
shape. Activity prevails on all sides
and the work is being pushed with an
euergy on the part of the builders that
promises its complete readiness between
now and the first Of March.
The staff workers who are at work on
the Auditorium are skillfully weaving
into artistic beauty and form friezes,
entablature and other ornaments that
will add to the finishing Of the building.
The Omaha Fire Department has in
stalled fire brigade on the grounds for
the safety and protection Of the eXposi
tion buildings and other property. The
engine house is nearly finished aud will
be equipped with the most approved ap.
paratus.
There are no dull days on the exposi.
tion grounds this season. Work is being
promoted in manner more lively than
ever before since the inception Of the
undertaking Everybody is obliged to
push with a will that counts for large
results at the end Of each week. The
coming great show is rapidly assuming
its completed form, due to the detern.
iuation and energy displayed, to the
end that everything may be in readiness
when the gates of the enchanted city
shall be opened on June /, 1898.
White Oaks eagle. (White Oaks, N.M.) 189?-190?, 1898-01-06

general school levy may, however, be
used by the district directors. as above
pointed out, for any legitimate school
expense, such as the repair or erection
of school houses.
Irrespective OF the considerations
above advanced it would not be proper
for the school directors to utilize all the
funds OF their district in paying parties
for repairs to the exclusion of other
creditors such as school teachers. Under
section II Of chapter 42 of the laws of
1897, generally known as the Bateman
act, where the funds on hand are INSULT.
cient to pay all creditors, the proper
course for the directors to pursue is to
pay such creditors pro rata quarterly.
The payment Of anyone creditor to the
exclusion of others, as has been attempt
ed in the case instanced by Mr.. Bergere,
Is contrary to the law just cited.
In communicating to Mr.. Bergere so
much Of the contents OF this letter as
You think proper, it would not be amiss
to call his attention to the fact that
under the laws of 1889, chapter Sc, sec
ton 6, it is his privilege to call upon the
district attorney for the counties of Ber
nalllo and Valencia for any legal advice
he may desire in the performance of his
official duties. Very truly yours,

Contributions of Flowers
 For the BattIeship Alabama

As is we'll known the battleship Alabama will be clfristened on the 18th inst by Miss Morgan, the daughter of Senator John T. Morgan.
 The Alabama Press association will at- tend the ceremonies and there will be many features of interest to render the occasion notable one to Alabamans. The following letter from Mrs. Sue Murphy Nel-- son, of Decatur, Ala, suggests that con- tributions of flowers from the state should be sent for the decoration of 'The Ala bama.' It is to be hoped that Mrs. Nell sons proposition will meet with the read jest response from every portion of the state.
 Expressions from the people on this sub 5ect would be helpful and would result in arranging the matter satisfactorily. Mrs. Nelson says: 'I beg to suggest that the papers throughout the state make a call upon the ladies and citizens of their respective towns to gather and send floral tribute for the decoration of the Ala bama" on the occasion of her christening. It seems 1t would be fitting and beautiful expression of our state pride in the vessel and tribute to its lovely sponsor from Alabamians."
