SIN Protests Against 1t.

Still Protests Against It,
"The board, by resolution adopted at
the April meeting, 1913, authorized the
payment OF certain salaries of instruc-
tors OF tho summer school rs in said
resolution Is mentioned. The reports
show that under this resolution there
has been paid out $4,000, and by doing
so the board appropriated $1,000 moro
money than the board had any right to
control or appropriate, for tho reason
that the board, In my opinion. could
only properly deal with the sum of
$4,000 appropriated by the Legisla-
ture.
II objected 10 this action OF tho
board when 1t was taken. I protest
against il now. because, in my judg-
mcnt. II is not warranted by law.
II not only maintain that the said
amount OF S1S.54S.97, collected from
teachers attending the summer schools,
was without authority OF law, but was
wrong in principle.
II further protest against this reso-
luton because it confirms and approves
tho collection and expenditure OF said
sum OF Sl5,5S4.I0 after the transactions
had been made, and when tho board,
in tho nature OF things. could and did
have no other information on tho sub
ject than such MS is afforded by the
reports of the several conductors OF
tho several summer schools and by
the vouchers accompanying the same,
there having been no previous rosolu-
ton authorizing the collection OF this
sum; and certainly no action on tho
part OF tho board in passing upon the
disbursement OF this fund before tho
disbursements wero made. and. there |
