is received to have it completed. The
action of the board regarding the new

ROSE REFUSES TO CONCUR.
A Dissenting Opinion from Member
of the Supreme Court.

" tUc SNpTcWe COuTt.
court has filed a dissenting opinion in
the case wherein John ]. Ledwith
brought a suit for mandamus against
the state treasurer to compel him to
sign a warrant for $35 for services he
rendered as an instructor i'm the uni
versity and to compel him to credit
the university with the sum of $946.-
017.g6.
In his opinion, in which a majority
OF the court concurred, Judge G.. b.
Letton granted a mandamus to compel
the state treasurer to countersign the
warrant, but the relief for the credit
item was not granted. In the same
opinion the court also held that the
proceeds of the 1-mill levy" meant
the entire 1-mill levy. II was held
also that the proceeds arising from
the investment of the permanent uni.
versity fund and the fund donated by
the general regents without the legis-
lature appropriating the same bienni.
ally. In his conclusion Judge Letton
said:
A to the details regarding the
funds involved we are not fully adj
vised, but enough appears to justify
us in requiring the respondent to coun-
tersign the warrant presented by the
relator."
Judge Rose takes exceptions to this
statement on the part of Judge Letton.
He said:
IF there Is an u~nexpended appro-
priation out of which the state treas
urer may lawfully pay the warrant for
$35, | am of the opinion relator should
be required, as a condition of relief, to
describe 1t in definite and precise.
terms, especially under a constitution.
providing that each Legislature shall.
make appropriations for the expenses
OF the government, until the expira-
ton of the first fiscal quarter after
the adjournment of the next regular
session" and that mo money shall be
drawn from the treasury except in
pursuance of a specific appropriation
made by law. When these provisions
OF the constitution are respected, there
is never any mistake or uncertainty
about the identity of any appropria-
ton or the amount of any u%nnexpend-
ed balance in any fund in the state
treasury"
