Jefferson City, Mo.
There is gloom among the deputies
and other attaches Of the state hotel
inspection department. There Is no
money available for the maintenance
of the department outside of the sal
ary OF Inspector J. H. Dickbrader. nor
is there likely to be sufficient funds
until next May or June.
So acute has become the situation
that Inspector Dickbrader has laid off
the entire force, and the outlook for
a resumption of the inspection Of ho.
tells and boarding houses at an early
date is not reassuring.
Prior to the enactment Of the change
in the hotel inspection law by the
last legislature, the deputy inspector,
when he inspected hotel or board
ing,house, collected on the spot for
the work done and the license.
Under the new la wdeputies make
no collection. They merely inspect
and give the proprietor clean bill
Of health, and the license fee is sent
direct to the state inspector. That
is supposed to be the way the new
law is to operate. The license year
begins on May 81 This is the first
year under the new law
Inspector Dickbrader has writer

fed prosecuting attorneys Throughout
! tile state of the delinqucnts; yet the

Under the new law the annual II

| $40: 40 to 30, $2h: 30 to Is, SIS; u

Hold Up Pension Payments.

There is a hitch in St Louis in pay
ing the pensions due former Conteder-
ate soldiers. Banks throughout the
state are also returning the warrants.
Each warrant is for $3.50. and there
are 1907 Of them. Fronl what tae
auditor can learn, the ST. Louis clear
ing house is waiting for an opinion
from its attorneys as 10 the status OF
these warrants. The attorneys have
not returned from their vacations. The
clearing house has not rejected pay
ments, but wants legal advice first.
Payment of the Confederate pen
sions ceased Sept. l, 1915 The last
legislature appropriated $l98,oVo to
pay off the delinquent claims, and
Gov, Gardner vetoed the appropriation
for 1917 and 1915, The claims that
the auditor has sought 10 pay come un-
der the general deficiencies Of the last
state administration.
The auditors department is at a
loss to know why the payment Of these
warrants should be questioned. Audi
tor Hackmann said that they clearly
came under the head OF deficiencies,
which arc being paid from the loan Of

through the 81. Louis clearing house.

mann that they will cease paying old
claims Sept. 10. The auditor expects
that the clearing house attorneys will
have completed their vacations about
| the 1st OF next month, and that they
will approve these claims.

often indicates a general weakness of
