The truce is concluded and the drive

to provide IL a home here. Biby and

tors to the fund last spring are of one
opinion in the matter. and that is the

that the citizens of Topeka and Shaw

ization which is on the job conducting
its services seven days, in each week
and fifty-two weeks in each year. And
he also asked that the memories be

measure which will take from the
state treasurer's hooks az False ball
ance" of $121,750 in the state school
fund, Twhicffs sl1ss fzbeen:a carried for
years, said State Treasurer Walter L.
Payne. sIshis sGnf is divided into two
funds: I'd City. of Lawrence bonds
of 100000, known as the old Frazier
Hall bonds. and CD, bonds to the vail
'ue of $z1, Tb0. issued by school dis
tricts in western Kansas, which have
proven to sbesworthless. "a number of
bonds in the latter classification are
said to have been issued many years
ago by school district, boards which
did not have the legal authority to is
sue tf1eH5A @zs<S u Eugas4e xZF y
The Situation revolving about the
Lawrence bonds is said to be one of
the most peculiar financial tangles in
the states history. Some wears ago
when the state attempted thru court
action to compel thes city of Lawrence
to redeem the bonds, Lawrence won
on the contention that it had fulfilled
its contract and the bonds should be
cancelled Bat the courts were, unable
to devise any method whereby the
state treasurer could return the bonds
without creating a shortage.
THE only way the false balance
can be rectified is by legislative ac-
Payne. Past legislatures have been
importuned to do this but no action
has been taken.'
The Lawrence bonds were issued
when that city sought to encourage
the state to establish a state univer-
sity. The 100000 they represent was
used in the erection of Frazier hall,
the original university building BY
contract with the state Lawrence was
to receive back the bonds as can
celled at such time as the total amount
Of interest paid on them equaled the
face value of the bonds. But in later
years state officials found the con-
tract faulty. The interest paid on the
bonds went into the state school inter
est fund, as is the case with all bonds
in which the state school fund is in
vested. This fund is distributed semi
annually TO all the state school dis
tricts in the state. Thus. nothing will
be left in the permanent school fund
to represent the 500, 900 investment
in case the contract were carried out
and the bonds refunded to Lawrence
AS yet no court order has been issued
demanding that the state treasurer re-
turn the bonds. But meanwhile Meth
er the Lawrence bonds nor the $21,75O
of school district bonds are drawing
any interest.
