That the state board of education
is not empowered TO require the uni
versity. Stout Training school at Men
ominee, or the Wisconsin Mining
school at Platteville to submit to the
board for its approval budgets or es-
Inmates and that the authority Of the
officers and governing boards Of these
institutions to make expenditures for
these schools is not conditioned upon
approval Of such expenditures by the
board is the conclusion of Attorney
General Owen in a lengthy opinion to
the board.
This is not in conflict but in ac-
cord with and fully recognizes the
duty and authority OF the board Of ed
ucation to require such budgets and
estimates" says Attorney General
Owen, ito be submitted to it in the
aid of its duties to inquire and ad-
wise. 1t is not intended, however, to
deal with or intimate any opinion with
respect to the authority of the board

in those cases. where the legislature
has made the appropriation directly
to the state board of education"
In commenting upon his interpreta-
ton of the state board of education
law. Mr. Owen says that he is fully

tion of the legislature to give the
board positive or direct control over
the disbursements of moneys appro-
priated to the officers or governing
boards of any of the educational insti-
tutions of the state receiving state
aid, except where expressly provided
in the statute. This conclusion, of
course. does not apply to expenditures
for new buildings constructed or lands
purchased for the schools.

For the first time Since salvage
work started on the sunken submar-

took hand and mussed things up. 1t
was 50 rough in the fairway where
the FL lies that no dragging or lift
ing could be done, and by 10 o'clock
it was a case CT hang on and wait for
mere favorable conditions.
A new cable was to have been
dragged under the bow of the F-4, to
take the place CT the one that was
carried away early Monday morning,
but the sea that made trouble early
in the day knocked out this plan.
Even had the new cable been passed
under the submarine and made Sc
cure tC the scow, it would have been
cut Of the question to do any lifting
as the sudden strains from the tossing
barges would probably have carried
away some of the holds. AS soon as
the sea moderates the new line will
be run and when all is secure another
lift will be given to the sunken craft
SCundings show that the water
shadows very rapidly near where the
F-4 lies. In fact, the sunken boat is
resting at the bottom of a steep hill,
for while the lead gets 46 fathoms
over here, the dredge, only few hun
dred feet away, is anchored in only
II fathoms. If this distance can be
covered the divers will be able to
work below with ease, and if neces-
sary better holds can be secured.
