No Cash Basis
Fund For New
School Houses
Garden Warns Supervisors Big
Expenditure Will Be Crimi-
nal Violation of Law

That any attempt on the part OF
the board of supervisors to authorize
the expenditure of ss4.2 for new
school buildings will be a criminal VIC.
lation OF the law, is a statement made
by Deputy Attorney W. r Garden in
an opinion rendered to the board last
night. and bearing the approval of
both the city attorney and the first
deputy. 49,. ..@:. .....- ..=
Until such time as the money is act
ually available in the Golfers Of the
city the extensive plan of the supervis.
ors and the school superintendent for
building new schools is blocked by the
decision. r.. :.--.. -.
Attorney Garden calls attention to
the fact that the total sum of $S4 200
will not be available at the end of the
fiscal year June 80, and that instead
only one-fourth Of this amount. or
$21 $50, will actually be on hand.
The law is quoted freely to the SUI
peryisors in the opinion, especially
that portion which states that super
visors who contract debts in excess
OF the amount of money available in a
fiscal year are liable TO fine or i'm:
prisonment, known in the statutes as
Section 2214, -: .
Even if it should be admitted"
says the opinion, for the sake of ar
gument, that the legislature has in
fact appropriated the entire amount
of the budget, WITHOUT giving any eff.
feet to the words, all revenues deriv.
ed from time to time form the collec-
ton of the school tax the board
would still be governed by Section
22l4 as to its spending or authorizing
the expenditure of money in excess of
the amount of money available for
such purposes prior to the end of the
fiscal year. ......~ ........ 49,. r..
Frowns On conkIine Plan. IT.. . -.
Treasurer Conklings suggestion
that the cash basis fund may be used
from which to take money as a. loan
to the school account is declared by
the attorney to be unsound in that he
has no money to repay the loan. +"
The only way says the opinion,
lin which the additional $685. can be
provided for would be by an appro-
priation from the general fund of the
city, if the necessary $3.50 will be
there available on or before June 80,
1916 ..:.* 49,.
Before the opinion had been read
Supervisor Hollinger urged that the
appropriation bill be passed and that
no attention be paid to the opinion,
which still lay on the clerks desk, on
the ground that the attorney had moi
been asked for an opinion by the
board. *-..~:. .::... .....:.. e.. ....s.-

HOW TO PREVENT
# ACID ST0MACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
By a Stomach Specialist

As a specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment OF
stomach troubles, have been forced
To the conclusion that NEST people
who complain OF stomach trouble pos
sess stomachs that are absolutely
healthy and normal. The real trouble.
that which causes, all the pain and
difficulty. is excessive acid in the
stomach, aggravated by food fermen-
tG ton. Hyper-acidity initiates the
delicate lining OF the stomach and
fcod fermentation causes wind which
Gistends the stomach abnormally,
causing that full bloated feeling Thus
both acid and fermentation interfere
with and retard the process Of diges-
ton. The stomach is usually healthy
and normal, but irritated almost past
endurance by these foreign elements
acid and wind In all such cases
and they comprise over go per cent
OF all stomach difficulties the first
and only step necessary is TO neutra-
lize the acid and stop the fermenta-
ton by taking in a little warm or
cold water Immediately after eating.
from one TO two teaSpoonfuls OF bisu-
rated magnesia which is doubtless
the best and only really effective ant
acid and food corrective known The
acid will be neutralized and the fer
incubation stopped almost instantly
and your stomach will a. once pro-
coed to digest the food in a healthy,
normal manner. BE sure 10 ask Your

secured through the commission.
That there are sufficient grounds

ton, and he will urge that the COM
mission take an immediate valuation
of the cOmpany's property in order
that an equitable rate may be estab-
lished.

ments meet with the mayor We'd
nesday afternoon the annual re-
