City Solicitor Hastings in his opin-
ion to City Auditor White today says:
October 10, 1915.
Hon. William j. White, City Auditor,
Wilmington. Delaware.
Dear Sir Further replying to your
letter stating that you have refused
to approve certain vouchers presented
TO the Board of Education for work
performed January 2, 1914, and May
and June, 1915, ] desire to say
Section 10 of the act creating the
Board of Education, makes il the duty
of the City Auditor to examine all
/ bills against said board, and endorse
them as correct before they are pre-
scented TO the board for payment.
/ This is a very peculiar provision. 1t
| seems TO me it would be next to an
impossibility for the City Auditor to
endorse as correct, bills contracted
/ by the board, unless such bills are
/ first approved by the board or some
of its committee. This, however, is
/ exactly what the law would seem
! to demand. / understand the prac-
tice is for the committee who con-
tracted the bill, to approve it before
it was submitted to the City Auditor.
4 This undoubtedly is the only reason
able way it could be done.
The said section also makes 1t the
duty of the City Auditor to examine
, and counter-sign all drafts OF orders
and to withhold his signature in case
the draft or order is made without
sanction of law, or with any circum
stance Of fraud actual or presumably
attached thereto. II would seem clear
, therefore, that there is a plain duty
resting upon you as City Auditor, e
!, be satisfied in the first place, thai
Z the bills are correct, and secondly
p that the drafts or orders for money
! are made within the law and withou
! any circumstance of fraud
Your only reason, as | understand
q II. for refusing TO approve these TIVE
items. is because the work was don'
I in 1914 and the early part of 1915
; Section 9. Of the act creating thu
Board of Education provides that:

| less the same be voted for by two

shall be made upon the minutes"
The board should furnish to thu
City Auditor a copy of this apportion
ment. and the City Auditor shout,

proved by him, are charged to thu

much the law with respect to The

No leave YET FOR
Sergeant WARDLE
If Council Will Sanction En-
ployment OF Extra Man,
He May Get Off
GEN. WICKERSHAM
ENTERS OBJECTION

Members Of the Police Commission !
in session yesterday afternoon re-
ceived a request from Street Sergeant
Wardle for six months leave OF
absence 1t was explained that Ser
geant Wardle had an offer from the
dupont Powder Company but he de-
sired to have the leave of absence so
that IL he did not like the new posi-
ton he could return TO the depart
ment Sergeant Wardle has served
sixteen years in the local department
and, having but nine more years to
serve before going on the department
pension fund. he did not want to lose
his place on the list in case his new
position was not congenial.
The commissioners, having heard
the request. debated the matter for
some time. Commissioner Bowers max
/ ing a motion that the request be
granted. Mr.. Mogear seconded the
motion, saying that he would like
! Chief OF Police Black 10 consider the
matter and If, in his Judgment, he
could get along that length OF time
without Sergeant Wardle or someone
else in his place. to 50 inform the
commission. Chief Black retired to
his private Office and on his return
he said the department is now short
two men and a further shortage
would be made II Sergeant Wardle's
request was granted.
Mr.. Megear said this turn made It
doubly hard for the commission to
grant the request and he suggested
that the matter be held in allegiance
and City Council asked 70 pass an
extra appropriation to cover the ex-
pense of a temporary successor TO
Sergeant Wardle. Mr.. Bowers then
withdrew his motion and Il was de-
cided to defer action.
President Wickersham said he
would like TO grant the request but
under the circumstances he would be
compelled TO vote against the request
as the department is short two men
and several are on sick leave. He
also objected to establishing such {
