USE APPROPRIATION.
Chance for Agricultural College to
Get $4,000.

Attorney General Coleman has point
ed out the way in which the govern
ment appropriation of $4,000 for the
State Agricultural college can be legal
ly handled For some time President
Nichols of the agricultural college has
been worried for fear the change in the
law abolishing the position of treas
urer of the agricultural college would
tie I'D the schools money.
Attorney General Coleman says in
letter to State Treasurer Kelly: The
effect of the law passed by the legisla-
ture last winter is to abolish the posi-
ton of treasurer of the board of re-
gents, and there being no such office as
treasurer of the board of regents, nc
person can legally qualify as such Off
Ger, nor give any bonds which would
be legal and binding. In my opinion
the ERECT of such legislation would be
to make you, the state treasurer, ex-
ofticio treasurer of the board of regents,
and to place upon you, not as state
treasurer, but as ex-Officio treasurer of
the board of regents all the duties and
obligations which the treasurer of the
board of regents heretofore exercised
and sustained while such Office was in
existence.
4 am therefore of the opinion that
this annual appropriation from the fed
eral government, when it comes into
your hands as state treasurer, immedi-
ately, by virtue of the law as it exists,
passes to you as ex-off1ciO treasurer of
the board of regents, and is to be paid
out by you on warrants drawn by the
proper authority, just as the same would
have been paid out by the treasurer of
the board of regents when such an off,
Gel was in existence. and is to be paid
out without reference to the provisions
of chapter II of the laws of 1903, and
without the vouchers being submitted
to or approved by the state auditor. The
provisions of chapter IS. above referred
to, apply only to state funds and state
appropriations for the benefit of the Ag
ricultural college, and have no reference
to or control over the general appro-
priation which is to be expended by the
management of the college independent
" of state authorities"

Committee Recommends Passage of
Plumbing Ordinance.

At its meeting Friday afternoon the
streets and walks committee of the
council made a favorable recommended
ton upon the proposed plumbing and ex-
cavation ordinance which will be taken
up in the next council meeting for ac-
ton.
The ordinance provides for the ap-
pointment of a plumbing inspector. His
salary will be paid by fees collected by
him. His work will be to inspect not
only plumbing done in buildings in To-
peka, but to see that excavations made
by plumbers and other are properly fill
ed for the protection of the public A
plumber will be required to pay a fee
of 81 for the privilege of excavating in
the streets. When a plumber pays a
license to do work at his trade, which is
to be provided for in another ordinance
his excavation fee will be nothing.
About twenty-five expressmen were
before the committee yesterday to see
if they could not secure the reconsidera-
ton of the dray stand ordinance which
prohibits the use of East Sixth street
by drays, express wagons and hacks
while waiting for traffic. The commit
tee declined to make such recommended
ton and the fight will probably be taken
into the council Unfavorab& action
was taken also upon the petition for the
opening of Second street between Fill
more and Western avenue. The street
will not be opened till another year.

A LITTLE THING.
Which Would Add to the Peoples
Pleasure.

Several thousand people gathered at
the corner of Eighth and Harrison
streets last evening and were entertain
ed by an open air concert given by
MarshalPs band.
1t is. not creditable to the city that
a place where so many people congre-
gate is not in better condition. A larger
portion of the lots on which the band
stand is located is overspread with long
grass, tall weeds and bushy under
growth, with a scattering of limbs of
trees and more or less debris.
A few hours work by a man with a
hoe, scythe and a rake would put the
ground in neat and presentable shape.
OF course, this morning the ground is
Uttered with papers, programmes and
popcorn sacks. 1t goes without saying
that these should be picked up before
Sunday.
When the band gives the citizens so
much pleasure free, the board of educa-
tion or the city authorities can certainly
afford to keep the ground presentable
until the work begins for the new high
school.
