No Warrants Can Be Cashed
Until Attorney General Re-
turns to the State.

Governor Brown today declined to
discuss the interview of Comptroller
General William A. Wright concerning
the new insurance lay given out yes
terday
The governor has retired the law to
the attorney general for an opinion as
to its constitutionality. and will say
nothing for publication until the opin-
ion is furnished
The governor states that the laws
constitutionality has been seriously
questioned, and. as frequently happens
in the executive office, he wishes the
attorney general to advise him as to the
probable validity of the objection inter-
posed. The governor expresses no opin-
ion himself as to the organic legality
of the act

other warrants have been held up for
one reason and Notwithstanding be-
cause the treasury is very shy of funds

school teachers and others very much

Attorney General Fielder has been
absent in Washington for several days,
and for several days before leaving he
was very busy with the states inter-
ests in the supreme court. 1t is not
likely that he will give the governor an
opinion in the insurance matter before
the latter part of next week.
1t is the opinion Of some lawyers that,
even if the new law is found to con-
flict with the provision of the constitu-
ton limiting the expenses of the insur-
ance department to $4,000 per annum,
it still might be conducted within that
limit, and the legislature depended upon
next summer to supply the deficiency
between the legal limit and the limit
set up in the new law.
1t is their contention that there will
exist no necessity, in any event, for
closing the insurance department.

Immediately confronted with police
court fines or sentences to the city
stockade for violating the smoke ordi-
nance, according to statements today
by R. NJ, Harwell, chairman of the
smoke commission, and Paul McMich-
ael, smoke inspector.
Inspector McMichael today is engaged
in making final observations of smoke
stocks that have been violating the city
smoke ordinance. These final tests will
have much to do with deciding against
whom cases are to be made in the res
cOrder's court.
The law provides that black smoke
shall not be emitted from a stationary
plant for more than twelve minutes to
the hour. Chairman Harwell said cases
would be made against all owners OF
plants where the ordinance is violated
except where compliance with the
law has been a physical impossibilitY
The punishment will be up to Re-

1t is in Recorder Broyles' power I'd

Inspector McMichael said that his
observations of smokestacks show that
the smoke evil has been considerably
reduced in Atlanta since the agitation
to abate it began. He said the rail-
roads were practically complying with
the law, with the exception of the
Southern, and that road is making an
effort to comply with the law The
railroads were notified to comply by
October Is.
Inspector McMichael said that many
owners of stationary plants were max

smoke law, but that a great many had

He already has the evidence against
them.
He and Chairman Harwell will go
through the records today and decide
against whom to make the cases.
Chairman Harwell said 1t was clear
that vigorous prosecution was neces-
sary to abate the smoke nuisance in
Atlanta and that he. as one member Of
the commission, was ready to proceed
He said the commission had ordered
