The Board of Capitol Managers at a
meeting held Aug. 5th, spent most of
the time in settling up old debts owed
by the state for the state building.
Among other things they turned ST.
5T0.75 over to the city Of Denver on ac-
count of the money owed for paving
the streets surrounding the capitol.
This money Is part OF the appropria-
tion Of 1899 Which has not been avail
able until this year This leaves them
still owing the city some $4,000. Then
they paid a little over $4,000 to the
contractors who have had charge OF
the painting and decorating Of the in
terror of the capitol. Ten per cent. of
this. or sl,700, is still held out as a Sc
curity reservation until the work has
been approved by the state architect.
II is claimed that the best and most
extensive list of premiums ever Of
fered in Colorado is included in the
pamphlet just issued by the Colorado
State Fair Association and these pre-
miums will be paid in full. no matter
what happens with the state appro-
priation and the promise Of the Fair
Association TO this effect will be suf-
ficicat assurance TO those who were
former exhibitors and are familiar
with the character and past record Of
the gentlemen comprising the manage
ment. If there is only one time in
the year that the people OF Colorado
can get away from their home sur
roundings and give themselves a
glimpse of the broader world. II should
be when the people of the state get
together to compare experience and
progress at the State Fair.

COL ORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND

Auditor vii! Honor Vouchers.

The vouchers issued by the Worlds
Fair Board at its last session will be
paid. Auditor Holmberg has received
an opinion from Attorney General Mil
Ter to the effect that he is warranted in
honoring them.
The opinion states that If the vouch
er is acted upon by the board and
signed by the president and secretary.
a possible error as to the correct COM
missioner-in-chief. who is required to
sign ii, will not make the auditor liable
for assuming or paying the warrant.
The material requisite is that the
voucher be acted upon by the board,
and the signature of the officers is on
ly evidence that this has been done
The attorney general also says that
Commissioner-in-C Chief Wilson is the
proper person to sign vouchers, and
that their payment is protected by the
action of the board, of which quorum
is three.
The contention that the members of
the board were appointed by the Leg
islature is deemed fallacy, as in the
act calling for the increase Of the board
from three to five members it was or
dercd that the governor should appoint
the new members, so showing that the
Legislature meant that the appointing
power should be In the hands of the
governor. The opinion also cites arti-
cles of the constitution which permit
the governor to remove any person ap-
pointed by him for misconduct, NAL
feasance or incompetency in office.
Unless Van Il. Rouse gives up the
$4,000 belonging to the fund, which
he has in his possession, within the
next few days suit will be commenced
to recover ii. Rouse has said that he
does not want to hinder the board in
the performance of its duty, but that
he has been advised by his attorneys
not to give up the money until the mat
ter is settled in the courts.
