Il Novel Legal Point.

1t Is unfortunate that an oversight OF
the legislature In considering the ap-
preparation bill may cause two years
delay, at least. in the construction Of
the miners hospitals provided for by an
act passed during the session. The act
creating the hospitals In the mining
districts provides for liberal appropria-
tons for the buildings and for conduct
Ing them. but the general appropriation
bill ignores the matter. The oversight
may delay the establishment OF these
humane institutions. and it is all the
more unfortunate because it was one of
the acts OF the legislature that met with
popular approval.
In connection with this subject Gov
ernor Atkinson Issues 4 statement,
which will be found in n Charleston
special elsewhere. in which he holds
that n special act OF the legislature
which carries with 1t IN appropriation
necessary to enforce 1t, need not be
mentioned In the general appropriation
bill to make 1t obligatory on the audi
tor to pay 1t. He believes the hospital
act carrying with it the appropriation is
mandatory upon the auditor. and
whether the money appropriated In the
act creating the hospitals shall he paid
rests wholly with the auditors con-
structlou Of the law. The auditor has
rendered no opinion. 1t Is question
which may require supreme court de-
clsion before 1t is settled.
