effect that there is no authority for

instruction, is advised that the acts

superintendents and their assistants
can not apply to incumbents who

to such superintendents and Mr.. COL
Inns says that while the increases are
richly merited the constitution
stands, in the way of their being paid
the additional salary.
Mr.. Collins has also advised DR.
Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the
board of game commissioners, that
game commissioners have no author
ity to arrest persons caught violat-
ing the game laws.
