PUZZLED OVER WAY TO
SUPPORT NEW BUREAU
Appropriation For Markets
Department.
AUDITOR ASKS FOR ADVICE
Attorney General to Pass On Question
Of How Intention of Legislature
Shall Be Carried Out-May Render
His Opinion Today.

State Auditor c. Lee Moore yester-
day called the attention of Commits
sioner George w. Koiner. Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, that he had
no funds for the maintenance of the
recently established Bureau of Mar
kets within the Department of Agri-
culture, since the title o. the bill cre-
ating the bureau did not mention an
appropriation, and there was also no
provision made for II in the appro-
priation bill which passed the Legis-
lature. The matter has been referred
to Attorney General Pollard for an
opinion on the intention of the kill
creating the Bureau of Markets. and
his decision will likely be known to-
day.
1t Is believed that through an over
sight the fact that an appropriation
was to be made for the bureau was
omitted from the title. but in the body
of the bill 1t Is stated that $1,000 Is to
be made available for the new de-
partment. 1t was also pointed out
that no appropriation was made for
the bureau, because the appropriations
bill had been passed before the enc
creating the Bureau OF Markets. and
the amount therefore, could not have
been included.
Mr.. Moore. on account of this. does
not know where the money is to be
obtained for the bureau, and has asked
Mr.. Pollard to advise him on the mat
ter. In his letter to the attorney
general, Mr.. Moore asks: rs the
money is to be drawn from the funds
in the treasury of the State, for which
appropriations have not been made.
or IL 1t to be paid out of the funds
received into the treasury from the
Department of Agricultural"
1t has been pointed out that the
funds received from the Agricultural
Department are fees levied on inter-
state business in fertilizers. and under
the law this Is to be used for carry
Ing on inspections of seeds, any sur
plus to be devoted to any purpose add
ing to the efficiency of the department
The revenue from this source Is not
more than enough to conduct the in
spections, and. therefore. 1t is not pos
sfble to maintain the Bureau Of Mar
kets on the surplus Of fertilizer fees.
The new department was esta blish ID
last Monday. in charge of B. c. Moo
NAV Jr., of Barber, Va. Since the
intention OF the law. 1t is believed
was for a special appropriation OF
$4,000 Mr.. Pollard will likely instruct
Mr.. Moore to honor warrants from the
Department Of Agriculture to be paid
out of the general treasury.
