Says Assembly Can't Lend State Cash

Attorney George P. Steele, repre-
senting State Treasurer Robert H.
Higgins. filed in the Supreme Court
his brief in support of his de-
murrer to the petition of the
State Land Board for a mandamus TO
compel the treasurer to comply with
the farm loan law. The principal CON
tention in the brief is that while the
Legislature can raise and expend
moneys. it has no power to compel the
treasurer to lend state moneys on the
order of any officer but the treasurer.

clusion has been reached that each
county will have to take up its own
problems and work them out in the
best way possible. the state commit
tee and the national government lend
Ing such assistance as may be found
practical and necessary.
After each county has organized in
scuh a way that every portion of the
county can be reached, the state COM
| mittee plans to take up the following
matters:
]. A complete survey of the agricul-
tural operations which will secure
needed Information as to the number
of acres under cultivation and the
number of acres in each crop, the
number of acres available for cultiva-
tion not in crop, the number of live

 Health Officer B. c.

 He has issued no order to keep the schools closed and such an order will opments within the next few days.
 The health ofics& declared that the epidemic in that city had no eonnec- ton with the development of several cases of the disease among recruits en route from the south to Fort

One of the recruits who was taken ill from the disease while in New Lon don about q month ago. since which time he has been a patient at the con taSion ward of Memorial hospital, was dismissed and sent to Fort Wright re- gently.
