GREASY FAILS To
MAKE ANY THUNDER
[Continued from First Page. j

lump sum estimate and then pro-
claim that the department had the
money to improve and maintain roads
and would not spend it.
Auditor General Powell replied that
he approximated the sum at $ 100000,
but could not give it exactly.
Greasy Loses Out
Greasy was overjoyed, but Powell
remarked that people must remember
that the Legislature appropriated the
money and that there were possibly a
score of funds in the Highway Depart
ment and that the money was appor-
toned for salaries, experimental work
and the like, including State-aid roads.
The Auditor General said frankly
that not much money was left for re-
pairs of roads; in fact, very little, and
certainly not enough for this year
This put a damper on the Demo-
cratic farmer and it was worse when
Deputy Highway Commissioner Hunter
said that part of the balance was COW
cred by existing contracts for State
aid roads and that more would be let
soon. Mr.. Hunter also said that the
department had counted on the auto
mobile license money which is in con-
troversy and failure to get 1t had put
a crimp in the work.
General Powell said he did not see
how the auto money could be secured
without legislative action.
Drag Work Held Over
The matter came to a head when
the resolutions committee reported and
1t kept the board in session an hour
longer than would otherwise have
been the case. Last night DR.. Donald
McCaskey, of Lancaster, had urged
the board to request the Highway
Department to hold local conventions
all over the State and to use the split
log drag. 1t was decided at the time
that such a movement could come
only through the resolutions commit
tee. The committee reported to-day
that it had deferred action on such
Stroudsburg.
During discussion on this G. G..
Hutchison, of Warriors Mark, said the
Highway Department already had
LOO drags, but that 1t had to stop
using them last summer when the
Auditor Generals Department held up
the automobile license funds.
This looked to Greasy like good
chance. He intimated that big sum
is available for maintenance of Sproul
routes and suggested that Auditor
General Powell be asked in to explain
matters. Not only Powell, but Deputy
Highway Commissioners Hunter was
invited.
Powelrs Side oft
Powell went into detail to explain
his position. He said not equisition
from the Highway Department lies be-
fore him which has been refused. He
said he had honored acquisitions on
s1,800,000 of accumulated automobile
license fees which had been specifically
appropriated and that the appro-
priation which he questions is the act
appropriating automobile fees. as rap
idly as they come in, to road main
tenance. He asserted that this act is
in conflict with the specific appropri-
alton act of 1909 and said ex-Attorney
General Todd. who drew the act of
1909. is in accord with him.
IT am thoroughly honest about this,
gentlemen" he said. THE fault is
with the Legislature for not doing it's
work properly. 1 want to stay where
I am and I don't want to visit John

Powell said that in pruning the
Highway Department appropriations
last summer the Governor had made
the cuts in the funds for highway
work. Had he made the cuts on the
salary list or in some other direction" !"
said the Auditor General, "the sit
uation now might be different. But
we are dealing with facts and the
real fault lies with the legislature
The question on the automobile
license appropriation had not been
seen at the time the appropriation
bill was disposed of.
Deputy Commissioner Hunter, fol-
lowing Powell, confessed that he could
say little, as he is not familiar with

Francies or Warden McKenty. I am
not going to do anything which would
put me in peril"
Then how can we get this money
for roads?" asked e. A. Studholme,
of Mexican.
IT know of no way except to have
the Legislature meet and pass proper
act" said Powell.
Greasy asked how much money is
now available for highway work
which is not questioned by Powell.
II think about $1,500,000," said
Powell, speaking from memory. But
remember that this is the total in a
number of different funds. 1t cannot
all be used for one purpose"

the financial details, but he explained
that numerous contracts which have
been let are charged against whatever
appropriations may be available.
A committee was then appointed to
confer with Powell and the Highway
Department and determine the sit
uation as accurately as possible. 1t
consists Of ]. H. Schultz, of Norris
Mark, and Matthew Rodgers, of Mex
leo. The board adjourned at 1890
p. m. until May, but the committees
report will be printed in the proceed
ings of this weeks meeting. The COM
mittee is in conference with the State
