IS SAFE
Contract Is Between the State and the
National Government

An adjustment of the controversy
between state officials over the nav
ment of appropriations to state edu-
cational institutions seems probable
This evening at 7:30 State Auditor,
Kenehan, Auditor NJ. A. Leddy and
Attorney General Ben Griffith will
hold a special conference and try TO
reach an amicable agreement.
Attorney General Griffith says that
he will attend The conference us legal
adviser but it appears that he may
also have to serve AS peace arbiter
OF referee.
Roady Kenehan declares that he will
stand pat on the question and that il
will require large quantities of legal
evidence TO convince him that third
class appropriations shall take prece-
dence to those Of the first class. The
educational appropriations are fixed
by law in the third class. The law
further provides that all appropria-
tions shall be paid according to nu-
merical rank.
Auditor Leddy declares that heed
shall be given to the cry from the
state institutions that their allowances
be advanced to the first class. The
auditor is especially insistent that part
of the fund provided for the mainte
nance of the Fort Lewis Indian
school, near Durango, be advanced.
He believes that the status of this
school differs from the others for the
reason that the state entered into an
agreement with the government to
support and amintain it, He is sup
posed in this view by Attorney Grif
fifth.
Mr.. Leddy is willing to compromise
and pay half OF the appropriation, on
100000, to the school for the first
year, and the balance the year after.
There can be no objection raised
as to the legality of this procedure"
said Mr.. Leddy this morning. "The
orly unpleasant thing about it is that
rs soon as we pay anything for the
support of one schoef all the other
state schools will demand an equal
concession. | shall endeavor to have
all educational appropriations placed
in the first class and part of these
allowances made at once"
Representatives of the various insti-
tutions are becoming alarmed at the
attitude Of certain the state officials
in denying the maintenance funds.
The State Normal school is demanding
S2500O Of its appropriation. Presi-
dent Snyder has notified Treasurer
Kenehan that it must be forthcom-
ing at once. The treasur's reply is
that the Normal school, as in the
case of the other institutions, will
have to await its turn. If this policy
is adopted, say some of the state
officials, there may be no funds left
in the treasury after the first-class
appropriations are paid.
