RAINS WERE i 4 ! J A. CALAMITY
ON THIS SCORE DEFICIT IN CEN
sUs FUND MAY BE MADE GOOD
AT ONCE.

Thru the almost forgotten provisions
of chapter 80 OF the general laws Of
1899 the executive officers Of the state
Yesterday found that they were able to
arrange for the borrowing Of $4,000
for the state census bureau, without
having to become personally RESPONSE
BILE for the loan.
The chapter provides that Sit is un-
lawful for any state board or official
to incur any indebtedness on behalf of
said board, official, or the state OF
Minnesota, OF any nature whatsoever,
until after an appropriation therefor
has been made by the Legislature. =
This clause in the law seemed discour-
aging, but in reading further there
was found provision, exception in
cases of calamity which reads:
''Provided, that in case of calamity
or actions Of the elements (such as fire,
Gals may obtain the consent of the
governor, the state auditor, and state
treasurer, in writing, stating the spe.
cial amount of expense that may be
incurred, and such expenditure shall be
considered a valid claim against the
state of Minnesota. - .- d. =. .e..ss

sus Superintendent Wright will accord

and stormy weather it was impossible
to take the census in northern Mime
sofa counties inside Of the estimate
provided by law, and therefore request
the authorization of loan Of about
$4,000 with which to complete the work
