STATE AUDITOR MUST
APPROVE ALL BILLS
National Guard Funds Cannot
be Drawn Without Warrant
From Him.

Replying to State Auditor Daniel
Thompson. who asked for his opinion
as to whether or not appropriations
for the benefit of The Delaware Ma
tional Guard are required to be paid
out in accordance with the provisions
of an act relating 10 the property and
moneys of the state and how they
shall be handled, Attorney General $
ID, Townsend. Jr.. holds that appro-
priations TO the National Guard can
be paid out only In accordance with
the provisions of Chapter 80, Volume
80. Delaware laws.
This section referred to by him, he
says, is positive in its terms and con-
trols the whole situation TO the eX-
clusion OF the provisions of other acts
which were passed prior 10 it and
which Mr.. Townsend quotes in his
opinion. II Itprovi6es that:
No money shall be drawn from
the treasury OF this state TO pay
the salaries and expenses of en-
ployes of this state. or to defray
the expenses OF any State depart
/ ment, bureau, division, officer,
board or commission. or for or on
account of any contract for build
! ing or repairs, or for property
/ purchased, or for work and labor
performed. or for materials or
/ supplies furnished to any state
/ department, bureau, division. Of
/ ficer, board or commission except
upon itemized bills or state
ments" in confrmity with said act.
presented to and approved by the
auditor of accounts. There are
numerous other provisions in said
act 10 the some effect says Mr..
Townsend. but the above is suf-
ficient TO clearly show that ap-
preparations TO the Delaware Ma
tional Guard can be paid out only
in accordance with the provisions
of said Chapter 80, Volume 80, Del
aware laws.
Mr.. Townsend found othe- law
which left the inference that the stat,
treasurer would be required TO MAKE
payments upon presentation Of item
lied bills duly sworn to by the prope
officer and that the adjutant general
with the approval of the State Militar,
Board, would be permitted TO draw
his warrant on the state treasurer 70
the payment of current expenses from
funds duly appropriated. This how
ever. is counteracted by the provision
or the later ACT. as referred TO above
