McAdoo's Acts n Surprise.


Despite assertions to the contrary the
impression created here by these and
other indications 10 that Secretary Me
Adoo has been folei by Attorney General
Gregory IN an att"mp; 20 make the Fed
eral Reserve Board a mere bureau or ad-
juprt Of the Treasury Department. In
/ this connection IL is pointed out thai.
the Secretarys importance in the direc-
ton Of the boa rds affairs since It's or
ganizaton has surprised many persons
who thought themselves familiar with the
purposes of the oil ss-Owen act.
There was "A belief widely entertained
before the organization OF the board that
the Secretary OF he Treasury uld not
be the chief figure in the boards pro-
ccedings. Persons who credited this belief
have been disappointed by developments
Of the past few months The governor OF
the Reserve Board, although described
in the law as "the active executive officer"
has, so far as public appearances give
evidence. played a role secondary to Mr..
/ MCAdoo.
Statements have been made since the
orGa uzatlon OF the board that certain
members themselves had been surprised
al the extent to which the Secretary OF
the Treasury had assumed executive pre-
negatives.
As stated by AIr. Gregory. the question
which the Secretary Of the Treasury had
raised was whether the Federal Reserve
Board Is au INDEPENDENT board, currmis-
sion or Government establishment, or
whether Il Is bureau or division or
Otherwise par; OF the Treasury Depart
mcrt.'
TIE A:iornoy-Genegil expressed the
opinion that the funds accumulated by
IT, board through the lcvrs made upon
tho reserve banks in accordance with the
Gldss-Owen act are Government public
moneys and therefore subject to audit
by the Auaitor of the Treasury
E%cerrts from the Attorney Generals
opinion bearing on the Independence Of
the board follow:
Consideration of the history OF the
Federal reserve act, of the general
scheme of the whole act, of the func-
t.Jus to BE- performed by the Federal
Reserve Board and of the method of
their performance leads me 10 tho
clear opinion that the board IL an
independent board or Government
establishment.
The Federal Reserve Board In not
merely supervisory. but IL dis
tnctly administrative board with OK
tcnsivc powers.
The act contains no express pro
vision that the Federal Reserve BOARD
shall b" considered AS a bureau. di-
vision or Office of the Treasury De-
partmeut, a Significant omission in
view Of the fac; that IN section 10
II amended the Revised Statutes
relative TO that "hureau" of which
IN" Comptroller of the Currency was
tine "chief officer" and the provision
/ in section !. that "tho Secretary of
the Treasury may assign officers in
the Department of the Treasury for
the use Of the Federal Resetv, Board"
"a provision added TO the House bill
by the Senate Commlttee) would be
highly superfuous II the board were

which thr Secretary already possessed
complete authority to assign offices In

EDUCATION BOARD STILL UNDECIDED
 AS ID INSPECTOR
Members Expect to, Appoint Man At Next Mondays
 Meeting.

Members of the Board of Educa- ton are still undecided as to whom to appoint as inspector on the new High school building, and in the, meantime, the contractors on the building are using material that is,5 in the estimation of local building and tradesnen, unfitted for such a, large and costly building.
 At the meeting held May eleventh, the attention of the board was di- rected to the fact that the contractors were placing stone of mediocre character in the foundation, which in the specifications. is required to be of first class material. Pressed brick of a decide1y lower standard than those demanded in the specifications have also arrived on the grounds, and unless some steps are taken by. the board in the very near future, will be used in the walls of the building. Shortly previous to this. many thous- ands of brick were brought to this city and, only for the expose in the Farmer, would have been used in the foundations.
 The members of the board rea1-l ized that the time for action had ar rived and several were in favor of ap- pointing a man at once. However, a number thought the qualifications of this. man should be investigated, and
  secretary At this time, several members declared that they would come to a decision within a couple of days. or by Monday at the latest.
 As far as can be ascertained from the members, little or nothing has been done to select 9 competent man to the position. In fact, four of the members admitted that they had taken no further interest in the mat ter, believing that the other members of the board would do the investi- gating.
 While stones of a decide1y better character are now being placed in the foundation than previous to The Farmers expose last Tuesday, there is still need for an inspector on the ground as the contractors will have an opportunity to place cement upon tFe foundation walls, so that the in spector will be unable to determine the nature of the stones. This, ac- cording to the contractors, is water proo1ng. which, when once hard. requires the use of a chisel and ham mer to remove.

CITY NEEDS PARKS, SAYS
 NOLAN TO COMMISSION

Preliminary plans for the beautify- ing of the city were discussed by John No1en, city planning expert at meet ing in the StratfieId last night of the city planning commission. The expert declared that there are not sufficient parks in the city, and that the first need is to add several of the 20 to 30 acres in area.
 ' resolution was passed by the committee calling the attention of the common council to the variance in the building lines and urging the body to do all in their power to prevent prop erty owners from encroaching on es- tablished lines.
