to be more or less difficulty at sew
eral places in the state at present
in regard to armory rentals, vouch-
ers coming to the state auditor be
irg looked upon by that depart
ment as not in com pliance with
law. The trouble appears to be
that renters have been allowed to
get behind schedule, and that the
bills that come in ere to cover time
back Of the beginning of the pres
ent fiscal year. and such bills are
failing to receive the endorsement
Of the auditor. All bills 70, rent.
ais within the fiscal year since July
first are being cared for, but moth
ing back OF that time can be allow
ed by the department, and that
appears to be the cause Of the
trouble.
