TERRITORY CAN'T
PAYEEPENSES OF
CHARTER SESSION
Legal Opinion Leaves Delegates
Minus Funds Logan to
the Rescue
s.Nothing doing. !

In much more polite and formal
language which means the same thing
1.-The city charter convention has beer
told by the territory that the territory
can't foct its estimated $1,000 of ex'
penses. ...s.1'. =.
Upon opinion OF the attorney general
Governor Pinkhem N has transmitted to
w. o. Smith and the committee on ex'
penses named by the convention let
ter stating that he has. no power or
discretion as to the expenses of the
convention and is unable to comply
with the request that $1,000 be taken
from the governors contingent fund
for that purpose. ,#4. T.
NIn his opinion the attorney-general
says; H.. .--saar ~ :~.-. -
This convention, as well as the
matter of election of delegates there
to, is purely a city and county matter
He goes on to point out that all ex.
penses OF general municipal election
are to be paid by the municipality.
He continues:
1T has been urged that because the
Legislature specifically provided that
convention shall be borne by the mu-
nicipality, the only proper inference
from legal standpoint is that all
other expenses were intended to be
borne by the territory. 1t seems in
disputable that the legislature consid.
ered-and properly sc-this election
and the convention itself as purely
municipal matter. The territorial Off.
cials, including yourself tthe governor)
have 40 control whatsoever over the
expenses of the convention. The gov,
ernor's contingent fund is properly for
territorial matters = and not for local
affairs, and the amount or amounts to
be expended therefrom are and must
be subject to your discretion. which
is not the case in the present in
stance,
Moreover, in my opinion, the city
and county has the power to pay these
expenses If 1t so desires"
The opinion is rendered by Deputy
Attorney-genera Smith, who adds that
Attorney-general Stainback concurs in
It.
This decision and the governors re-
ply to the committee would seem tc
leave the convention up a tree" but

Positive and authentic information

THE matter OF establishing such a

actually considered said the distin-

board the liner, con being interviewed
BY q Star-BuIletin representative.
am not at liberty to make public the
names Of the American capitalists who
are backing the project but that they
are doing so is true.
al the present time, of course, the
line Is In q formative state. but I
know that American capitalists In the
East are looking the field over, with
an active desire TO establish trans

to be done Is TO buy ships and my

anything to do with the disaster last

8 There are three of the ballast tanks
amidships, and one large trimming"
tank at each end of the fll-fated under
sea raider. The tanks were used to
depress or raise the submarine in the
water, and the trimming" tank to
keep 1t level while in motion. When
they were filled with water their
weight caused the submarine to. des-
cend, and when they were enptied by
means of. air forced into them, the
added buoyancy made the craft rise
to the surface. :zssr r.. +
Lieut.. K B. Crittenden, commander
of the submarine flotilla, said today
tnat so far as the actual investigation
OF the wreck is concerned, the board
will have finished by tomorrow night.
