ARBUCKLE DELIVERS OPINION.

Special to Independent
 Little Rock, Oct. 5.-The quorum courts of the state will be asked to make appropriations for the support of the county council of defense.
 In an opinion on the subject, At torney General Arbuckle said
 "In general, in the opinion of this office, it could not be considered a county purpose, but I can readily see how a condition might arise when, under Section 6, of Section 1499 of Kirby's Digest, such county councils might. in time of war, become a county purpose, and even a necessity, in taking care of public property"
 General Arbuckle says further; "The validity of appropriations by the quorum courts of the various counties of the states for the main tenance of county councils must de- pend in the first instance on the fact as to whether or not such appropria- tions are for county purposes. This would be a matter to be determlned by the court itself when considering such an appropriations.
