district for these western states, Dep
uty Inspector Dr. Schumacher finds
his duties increased. He will hence

ttorney General Lucey made today In
briefs and arguments answering the
suit OF the boards.
The institute and the board of agri-
culture in their suit are maintaining
that because they were created by
special acts of the legislature they
are not Estate boards" in the same
sense az other state departments and
hence are not subject to civil service
control. The attorney general today
cites that these appropriations for
years had been in omnibus bills which
specify that appropriations are made
for salaries of officers Of state boards
and DEPARTMENTS" and for "the state
government ordinary ana contingent
expenses" He pointed out further,
unless the boards could qualify as
ordinary state departments they could
not be entitled to receive the appro-
priations
The supreme court will decide the
case in February.
