Since this consolidation has taken

overtures have been made for a further

BOARD OF CHILDREJVS
GUARDIANS MA Y BE SUED
BY HART FARM SCHOOL
Comptroller of he Treasury Rules That Act Of CongeesS
Making Appropriation for 90 Wards Was Mandatory.

1903. in accordance with an inteTpreta-
tfon of the law by Disbursing Agent
Douglass for the Board. Accordingly
the wards were removed from the farm
July 26. 1902, and all relations between
the farm and the board ceased.
On October IS, 1908, Mr. Hart agreed.
under protest. to enter into contract.
He has been paid for a portion of July
and October and the full months of No
yember. December January, and Feb
ruary the sum of $1.55z-09.
A Grant to the Farm
Mr.. Hart. in letter to the dis5ursing
agent of the board, claimed that under
the act of Congress the $4,000 year
was a grant to the farm. and that il
was mandatory upon the board to enter
into a contract for the full quota OF
wards, and that this would entitle the
farm to payment at the rate of 81 600
month. regardless of the number OF
wards cared for, the only provision be
ing that the claimant stood ready to re-
ceive the 200 provided for in the appro-
priatfon. On this Interpretation Nj.
Hart demanded the difference between
the amount paid him, st,567,09 and the
sum he alleged to be due on February
2s, being eight-twelfths of the $4,000
appropriation, OF s.. 000 This difference
he figured at Sc, ,392 81, though he cheat
ed himself 500 in making the deduction.
Disbursing Agent Douglass declined to
make the payment and was supported in
this by the decision of the auditor.
Comptroller TracewelI decides that no
appropriation is made to the Hart farm
and that institution is only indirectly in
terested in the appropriation itself. New
ertheIess. he holds, assuming that the
provision of the act making the appro-
priation is mandatory upon the board to
enter into the contract with Mr. Hart.
he is entitled 10 damages. These. how
ever. must not be paid out Of the ap-
! propriation. but must come from the
board itself by reason OF its non-ful-
hllment Of such contract.
An Opening for Action.
The decision leaves an opening for an
action and il is freely predicted By the
many friends of Mr. Hart that the end
is not yet.
