Emergency Commission subject, how
ever, to the limitation that before
such commission can properly with
draw money from this fund it must
first appear that the object of neces.
sity of such expenditure had not been
called to the attention Of the last
legislative assembly and that by rea-
son thereof the expense of operating
the department involved had been un-
drestimated and it must further ap-
pear that the necessity for such ex-
penditure is Of such pressing nature
that the matter cannot be properly
postponed until the next legislative
assembly can appropriate money
therefor.

in expanding a sufficient amount OF
the Contingency fund to pay the
wages Of these employees.
There can be no doubt that the last
legislative assembly, if the matter
could have been called to it's atten-
ton. would have appropriated suffi-
cient money for this purpose. It like.
wise appears that these people, being
wage earners, depend for their liveli-
hood solely upon the money received
for their labor and they cannot, with
out great hardship, wait until the
next legislative assembly for compen-
sation. The State cannot, with good
grace, compel them to do so.
This matter appears. to be within
the spirit Of the law and your Hon

Respectfully submitted,
Board of Control Of State Institutions.
Il. S. LEWIS,
Chairman.
J. W. JACKSON,
Member.
Opinion in the Matter.
The opinion as handed down by
the Attorney Generals office with
the question is as follows:
Hon. Board of Control,
Bismarck, N. Oak,
Gentlemen:
BY Chapter 229 of the laws of 1915
your Honorable Board was made the
Board of Trustees Of public property.
Your Board was thereby given charge
and control of the State Capitol and
the employees therein. You state that
upon assuming such duty on the first
day Of July, 1915, you discovered that
wages of employees engaged in and
about the capitol as engineers, JAM
tors, etc., were not paid during the
months of May and June, 1915, by
reason Of the fact that the appropri-
EatioH therefor had been exhausted.
You further state at these men
are employees working for wages and
not assistants, deputies or clerks in
the various departments Of lAe state
government; that they have all per-
formed the labor required Of them and
have earned the money and at least
some of them are badly in need of it..
You ask this office whether or not
the situation presents a proper sub
ject for consideration by the State
Emergency Commission and the ex-
penditure Of money from the Contin-
gency Fund provided by Chapter rs,
Of the Laws Of 1915.
1t further appears that the forego-
ing condition occurred subsequent to
the adjournment of the last legisla-
tive assembly and was not within Its
contemplation.

NORFOLK AND RICHMOND
OFFICIALS WILL CONFER
Delegation Coming on Wednesday to
Discuss Street Railway
Franchise.
MEET IN COUNCIL CHAMBER
Underwater City Is Confronted With
Situation Similar to That Now
Being Considered Here, Though
Somewhat More Complex.

a delegation representing the City
Council Of Norfolk will visit Richmond
on Wednesday for the purpose of con-
sulting with members Of the City
Council and other city officials with
regard to the thirty-year blanket fran
chise sought by the Virginia Railway
and Power Company in exchange for
all existing grants under which the
company now operates. a similar con-
dillon has arisen in Norfolk. where the
power company has also applied to the
Council for a blanket franchise to
supplant the many grants under which
II operates its car lines which for
merly were owned by separate corpo-
rations.
The object of the conference with
Richmond officials. 1t is understood,
It not antagonistic toward the power
company, but II Is to arrive at some
satisfactory arrangement for the gem
eral attitude Of municipalities In
awarding franchises to public service
corporations.
MEET On WEDNESDAY
IN COUNCIL CHAMBER
City Clerk August announced last
night that he had arranged to hold the
conference on Wednesday morning at
1870 o'clock in the Council chamber
| Those who have been asked to be pres
ent include Mr.. August, Chairman Pol
lock, Of the Committee on Streets
Chairman Fuller. of the subcommittee
which Is now considering the power
company's application: Clerk of Com
mittees Mcdowell. City Attorney Pol
lard, City Auditor Crenshaw and City
Engineer Boiling. The Norfolk dele
cation will be accompanied by the
city engineer. city attorney and city
clerk Of Norfolk.
The conference is expected to have
a far-rcaching effect. 1t is expected
that following n discussion those pres
cnt will formulate some general idea
for the attitude of the two cities in
granting street railway franchises
The situation in Norfolk is probably
more complex than in Richmond. In
Norfolk the trolley lines in many cases
parallel each other, which was due to
competition OF companies which later
were absorbed by the Norfolk and
| Portsmouth Traction Company. for
merly the Norfolk Railway and Light
Company. all of which lines are now
owned by the Virginia Railway and
Power Company.
NORFOLK CITY Is
MUCH "OVER-TRACKED"
Some of thesa lines, which were
! formerly the Bay Shore Company, the
Atlantic Terminal Company, used
! standard gauge tracks. while the Nor
folk Hallway and Light Company put
down wide gauge tracks. In some
points within the city limits il became
necessary for the old company, which
took over the smaller concerns, to put
down third rails In order to make
connection between the branch roads
and the main tracks. BY this dupli-
| cation the result has been that Nor
/ folk is much "over-tra cked.' This is
only one among. other things which the
Norfolk government wants to elimi-
nate.
This and other questions, including
| those which are receiving considera-
| ton in this city, will be carefully gone
over at the conference.

CIR. JUNCTION GROW
ERS WANT A CHANGE

The members of the Fruit Growers
Association of Grand Junction, Colo,
made a number of changes at their re-
cent annual meeting. Andrew johnson,
for years the president of the associa.
tion, was dropped and an entirely new
board Of directors elected. The grow
ers demanded that they be paid part
of the returns on their crops AS soon as
the product is delivered at the doors of
the association, and they demand that
all returns be in in 80 days.
Manager Howard G. Fletcher report
ed that the poor prices received for
fruit had resulted from failure of grow
ers to observe rules, to panicky grow
ers, who tried to dispose of the fruit
themselves, the war, high sugar and
over production Of apples. He report
ed prices on apples of from 10 cents to
SLlO per box.
