 According to the opinion Of the cir- cult solicitor appropriations to these institutions fall in the same cate gory as appropriations to the Chil- drens Aid society, which was recently upheld by Judge Greene in circuit court Judge Greene ordered pay ment of warrants by the board of revenue for this institution by M " Henry, county treasurer. after the latter had refused to pay the warrant on the ground that to do so would make him personally liable for the money so paid. His position followed a report of the state examiners some months ago holding that the amounts appropriated by tn board for number of charitable institutions of the county were unwarranted expen- ditures and that the treasurer would become personally liable by paying them.
 Must Be Legal Obligation
 The assistant solicitor holds in his opinion that the board of revenue is authorized under the law to employ individuals or corporations to do work or render services to the county when the board is authorized by law.

SYDNEY. n. S. w, Oct. 5.-Official
action to prohibit the expectation OF
Australian wild birds is likely on the
request of the Society for the Proven

clared that SO percent OF a recent
shinment of birds to England died en-
route while the remainder suffered
acutely.
The commonwealth has not control
at present over the export of any but
birds of Paradise and it cannot stlpu-
late under what conditions exported
birds should be treated. The states,
however, protect many varieties OF
birds and it has been suggested that
the states might take action under
their laws against any persons pos
sessing birds which are protected
which would include an exporter.
At the council meeting of the Royal
Australian Ornithologists' union let

shipment of birds was carried under
conditions involving extreme cruelty
and that the animals did not have suf-
ficient room in which to move. A
