NAV VET BUILD
STATE ARMoRIEs

PHOENIX. Sept. 6.-Attorney Gen erai Wiley E. Jones is about to make I ruling that may have far reaching effects on the future wording of op- propriation measures.
 Jones has received the same inquiry from three persons, Adjutant General Ingalls,. former Adiutant General liar. ris. who still is con;esting the place. and from George Harben of Flagstaff. former assistant to the attorney general.
 All three are interested in whether the moneys appropriated in sections i5 and 4s of chapter 30 of the laws of 1917. for the purposes of building state armories at various points for the use Of the militia. and of build ing state Arsenal. are still available for this purpose.
 Jones will send copy of his opin- ion, when he gets t written, to each inquirer
 The attorney general stated yester- day. that although he had not as yet written the opinion. that his present impression Is that the funds mention. el are still available.
 He bases this impression" or )pin- ion, thus verbally expressed. on the language of the laws h some laws he appropriation clause states :hst ihe money appropriated for a certain purpose must be expended within cer- tain dates. In this case. the attorney general thinks. if the money is not spent in the specific time, i. reve-ts 10 the general fund.
 1T. however. the money is appro- pr.ated Ito become available during a stated year, the attorney general is under the impression that it remains available for that purpose until used
 This ruling. if confirmed by a writ ten opinion, makes it still possible to build the armories and the arsenal. and though no search o: the records has been made 10 determine if there are ether appropriations worded like this il the past history Of the state. that were not used as they are still available if any such exist
