County Attorney Says
Donations Are Illegal
County Commissioners Have
No Right to Donate The
County Funds.

Moscow, Idaho, Sept. 12-Compli-
cations have arisen over the legal
opinion rendered by County Attorney
Frank l.. Moore, wherein he held il
unconstitutional for county COM
missioners to make donations Of
county funds to any fair association,
although it has been praticed by
many counties in Idaho.
The attorney holds that any such
appropriation automatically becomes
a personal liability of such officials
to the county. Attention is directed
to the law which provides that any
person indebted to the county from
any cause can not legally draw any
money or receive any warrant for
services or materials furnished the
county until the Indebtedness to the
county has been first paid.
Two members of the present board
of commissioners, J. L. Woody of
Kendrick, and A. B. McIntire of
Prinseton, and Deputy Sheriff John
E. Hall were. commissioners when
appropriations now held to be illegal
by Attorney Moore were made to the
Latah County Fair association.
1t appears also that an appropria-
tion of $10O per quarter has been
made for some time to a home-find-
ing association at Lewiston, which
it is asserted, comes under the same
head. County Attorney Moore said:
'Those appropriations to the fair
and home-finding associations were
illegal and the officials liable to the
county, and therefore, they cannot
legally draw their salaries while in
depted to the county"
The complication my involve the
auditor and treasurer for having is
sued and paid such illegal appria-
tions. 1t is held that the auditor
can not deliver warrants against the
county to any person who is indebt-
ed to the county.
Since the action as County Attorn-
ey Moore in filing his written opin-
ion a number of other acts added to
the already completed affair and
until legal steps are taken to have
the questions adjudciated the officials
are left in suspense as to what might
be the consequences if they ignored
; the countp attorneys opinion.

CALLED FOR
OCTOBER NTH,
Vote to Create Good High
way District.

Lewiston, Idaho, Sept. 1.-The
Nez Perce county board of COM
missioners yesterday acted upon the
petition filed recently asking that
good highway district be created to
embrace the city of Lewiston and
road districts number and 36. The
board authorized the issuance of
notice calling an election for October
IL, and the residents will have OBJ
portunity to vote upon the proposal
to create the district. The road dis
tricts north of the Clearwater river
to be embraced with Lewiston in the
good highway district include what
is known as the Hatwai and Rimrock
sections.
The petition which was filed ask
ing that the election be called con-
tained the names of $40 electors,
these including large numbers of the
taxpayers. The number signing the
petition indicates the strong senti-
ment in favor of the plan proposed.
The total area to be embraced within
the district is 43 square miles, di-
vided as follows: District No. 3, 19
square miles; No. 26, 18 square
miles; city of Lewiston, 6 square
miles. The total assessed valuation
of the proposed district is $6,225.-
$40, divided as follows: district No.
3, $545, sol; district No. 26, $133.-
767; city of Lewiston, SIS, ,556,1
total, $6,225, 500.
The primary object of the creation
of the proposed district is the solv.
ing of the good roads problem as il
relates to highways leading into the
city, and principally as it applies tt
the highway known as the Union
town Hill road. However, under
the jurisdiction of the good roads
highway law, even problems affect
ing thoroughafres within the city
can be handled, such for instance a,
the grades leading to the Hill. The
view that such a district should b.
created has developed largely as th'
result of action taken by the Lew
iston Orchards people and the people
of the Tammany and Waha localitie
who have created good highway dis
tricts to meet conditions there b,
providing permanent highway con
struction. Experience has show
that under the good highway distric
plan, better results can be secure
as the people within the distric
have direct personal knowledge a
5 to the roads Within such limited tel
ritory and can therefore act wit
fuller information in adopting pol
cies as to road improvement.
At this time no defnate plan
have been outlined for road worl
these being matters to be consider
I ed after the district has been created
). The advantages of such a plan ar
so apparant it is believed the vot
e to create the district will be prac
y ically unanimous.

Mr.. Gardner had a number of lively
passes with members of the commit
tee for not summoning Major Cen
erals Wood and Crozier to get their
views of preparedness.
He quoted figures to show that the
combined force of regulars and ma
tional guardmen would form battle
line sixty-fi miles long, two thirds of
the way around Greater New York, and
that, compared with Europeon nations.
