A second improvement district com plication has arisen at the state con- viet farm at Cummins, according to officials of the penitentiary Recently the board for the Linn-Auburn district announced it intends to build levee that will bisect the farm and leave more than 5000 acres in a basin with out drainage. Last week the directors Of the Long Lake Drainage District called on the commission to complete its part of 5000 worth of labor it was to perform for the district. The commission has hesitated to comply. because, should the Linn-Auburn dij- tr1ct be allowed to continue its plans, the state will receive no benefits from the Long Lake District.
 The Big Lake Levee Board proposes to dredge a large ditch that would drain Big Lake and a part of the state farm. To pay the states share of the cost, the commission agreed to fur nish the labor to clear the land, where the ditch is to be dug. Work on the ditch already has been started.
 The commission is making efforts to arbitrate the Linn-Auburn levee mat ter. An engineer will be taken to the state farm next week in an effort to convince the Levee Board that a levee can be built without rendering useless half of the state farm. A con- ference between the Penitentiary Com mission, the Linn-Auburn Levee Board and the engineer probably will ba held this week. The commission will not work on the Long Lake district pending the settlement, according to Commissioner John T. Burkett

ItGtit Whether the revenue to come into the state treasury in the next 20 days will be sufficient to take up all out standing state warrants is a question now confronting state officials. It had been thought when all county collec- tors had settled and all franchise tax collected there would be. a balance of approximately S100,000 in the treasury after all warrants were taken up. An official check was made of the settle ments, and this showed that while more than half of the counties have settled the amount of outstanding war rants has not been reduced one-half. A few weeks ago the outstanding war rants amounted to S768,000, the high est in many years.
 The reason the amount does not de- crease faster despite the large amounts paid in is that more are being con- stantly issued to provide for the TUT ming expenses of the state government and institutions; s32,2S9S4 was paid into the treasury from four county col lections and fronchise tax. But S14. 905.14 in warrants was issued, and thus the amount of outstanding war rants reduced only S17,3S470, in spite of the four settlements. Two of the largest counties in the state have still to settle with the state treasury. Pu- laski County is expected to pay in ap- proximately sS0,000 to the general revenue fund and Sebastian County s35,o00
