STATE AUDITOR
CALLS LANCER
Refuses to Pay Huge Survey
Bill Marked Legal
IS Expense.

Bismarck. N. D., Nov. 2o.-"some
of our state departments seem to
have gained the impression that
money grows on trees in this state
said State Auditor Koatzky yesterday
morning as he pigeon-holed a bill
from q high-priced firm Of Chicago,
engineers calling for part payment
on q public utilities survey. The bill
was for $1,000; it represented Just
y OF the contract price, and the at
torney general had asked that 1t be
paid out Of his huge legal expense
fund. State Auditor Kositzky fails to
see where this item can be listed as
legal expense in the attorney generals
office. If any state department has .
right to contract for such a survey"
said the auditor. II should think it
would be the tax commission. The
state auditing board has had the mat
ter up Qnce, and has held the bill
vel. When 1t comes up again I
think I will oppose its payment"
There have accumulated in the
state auditors office bills approved
by the state auditing board calling for
$3.50 900. and there are no funds with
which to pay them. The state auditor
has been very diligent in collecting
delinquent taxes and in increasing
the states revenues wherever possible,
but at this moment the income IL
about a third million behind the out
go, n the state auditor has put q
substantial foot down very fatty.
