SHOULD HONOR WARRANTS
ON APPROPRIATION

Auditor General Powell last Fri
day received from the attorney gen.
eral an opinion to the effect to hon
or warrants on appropriations made
by the recent legislature to depart
ments of the state government Great
ed since the adoption of the consti-
tuition of 1874.
The opinion says this system of
making appropriations has been in
vogue thirty-five years with the ap-
proval of the legislature, governors
and attorney general during that
time, and the effect of long estab-
lished custom would be to make it
lawful unless the constitution eX-
pressly prohibits it,
The constitution clearly authori-
zes the legislature to create such de-
partments as health, highways,
mines, etc., and these are properly
parts of the executive departments
because their duties are executive
rather than judicial or legislative.
AS to the point raised that such
appropriations as these for highway
construction are not, ordinary eX-
penses of government" the opinion
holds that the building of highways
is one of the regular duties of the
highway department and, therefore,
an ordinary expense, the same being
| true of the building of sanitoria by
the health department and other sim
liar activities. Auditor General
Powell said he would consult State
Treasurer Young before deciding
whether to accept the attorney gen.
erals decision or carry the matter
| into court.
A new chapter was added to the
controversy over appropriations to
departments of the state govern
ment by Auditor General Powell,
who issued a statement calling at
tention to the fact that while some
departments feared curtailment
through holding up Of appropriations
pending settlement of certain ques-
tions they were not entitled to draw
any money because there had been
advances made under the act oi
1909 to the amount of over a mil.
lion and half for which no vouch.
ers had been filed.

Or. Morgenstern. while inspecting
the chest of one of the children, felt
a heart beating on the right side. He
hastily shifted his hand over to the
left part of the chest and felt an
other heart beating there, apparently
as any we'll behaved heart should do.
Dr. Morgenstern then determined 10

in the other children. He called in two

one in each side of the chest. He then

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.--Mr. and Mrs.
Eugene Ross, of New Brunswick, N.

daily treatment in the Pasteur Insti-

Rags, an Airedale terrier, died of
rabies.

played with Rags, are fearing an
epidemic of the disease.
About a week ago Mr.. Ross noticed
that his dog was ailing. He admin
istered treatment without effect. A
veterinary ordered that the dog be
killed with chloroform.. That was
done, and the dogs head was sent to
the Pasteur Institute for examina-
ton.
The report from the institute was
that the dog was undoubtedly suffer
ing from rabies.
Mr.. Ross was so alarmed he
thought it best TO kill the other pet
of the family, a fine Angora cat, who
had been great friend. of Rags He
also decided to take precautionary
treatment and have it administered
to the rest of the family. So all the
ROSES have been coming to New
York every morning for this purpose.
