DIVIDED BOARD
CERTIFIES FUND
Governor and Treasurer
Agree to Give Money
for Institutions.
ONE MEMBER BALKS

Madison, Wis. - Two members of
the emergency board at meeting held
late Thursday certified $156,800 in
emergency funds to state educational
institutions. Secretary of State Zim-
norman declined to certify the APP
preparation.
of the sum appropriated the normal
schools will receive s41,800, and for
the university $4,000. A consider
able cut was made in the sum orig
inally requested by the educational in
stitutions of the state, left without an
appropriation through the failure of
the 1923 legislature to pass tax legis-
lation. The schools requested approx
imately $550,00O from the emergency
board.
1t also represents saving of 1885,
700 over the joint finance committee
appropriation to the normals and the
university.
The money appropriated TO the nor
NAL schools was as follows:
Textbooks for nine normals, $4,000;
educational apparatus, $4,000; addi-
tional needs under accounts 612, post
age, printing, supplies, ETC., $4,000;
remodeling toilet room at Stevens
Point, $1,000; supports for the library
at Stevens Point, $4,000. 1t was agreed
by board members that the sum of
$4,000 for miscellaneous repairs on
normal school buildings was also need
ed but this was not passed upon.
Appropriation for University.
The appropriation to the university
was divided as follows:
For books and apparatus, 100000;
for the extension division, the same
amount granted by the legislature in
1921, $4,000; for medical extension,
$500; for hog cholera serum, $4,000;
for the memorial park, $1,000.
The $15O,OO0 request for mainte-
nance was not granted because the uni
versity has an available balance out of
which ordinary repairs and mainte-
nance may be paid, it was brought out
at the meeting. This increases the
saving over the joint finance commit
tee appropriation on the university
fund of $15O,O00. The board was also
not convinced that the request for
100000 for research work can be con-
sidered as part of the ordinary reg
ular work Of the university as con-
strued in the statutes permitting
emergency appropriation to be made.
Attorney General Ekern will not
draw up the forms for certification of
the funds allowed by the two members
OF the board and they will be signed
by Governor Blaine and State Treas
urer Levitan who voted in favor of
issuing the certificate.
The next step in making the funds
available to the schools will be to
present the certificates to the secre-
tary of state who is required to trans
fer the funds allowed from the general
fund to the university and normal
school fund. Should the secretary of
state hold that. it was illegal for two
members of the board to make the APP
preparation he would refuse to make
the transfer, mandamus action would
be brought to compel him and the
question of legality would be carried
to the state supreme court.

CONGRESS TO AID
DEEP WATERWAY
Report on Great Lakes
J Ocean Canal is Most
Optimistic.
PLAN FOR FINANCING

Chicago, Ill-A report featured by
optimistic predictions of success IN
developments leading to lake to the
ocean waterway, was submitted today
to the council of states Of the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater associ-
alton by Charles P. Craig, its execu-
tive director.
Mr.. Craig in his report declared
that proponents of the waterway pro-
ject were assured that "a majority in
both houses of Congress is impatient
to act favorably upon suitable meas
ures" He said that the administra-
ton in Washington is firmly COM
mitted" to the undertaking, that favor
able action in Canada is promised and
that public opinion is consolidating.
president Coolidge in his message
to Congress endorsed the development
of the great power and navigation
project of the st. Lawrence river as a
reproductive investment, distinguished
from public expenditure" the report
stated. "He placed chief emphasis up
on cheap freight by bringing ocean GO
ing ships to the Great Lakes. He has
renewed the invitation to Canada to
meet for discussion for appropriate
terms"
Kellogg Appointment Helps.
In the appointment of former Sem
ator Kellogg to be ambassador to
Great Britain, the report added, the
lakes to-ocean project is well placed.
Considering further the foreign angle
involved, it said that "for the first
time Canadian supporters of the wat
erway are carrying on systematic
campaign of education in the north
west provinces. In the Ontario cleo
tions this fall the province got behind
the immediate improvement of the st.
Lawrence, and endorsed the pivotal
policy of the Ontario power COM
mission"
Financing Plans.
1.-TWO suggestions for financing the
proposed deep water way have come
from Canada, the report said. One
would provide that the work be di-
vided so that the cost between the
two countries would be approximately
equal. The other would provide that
in lieu of participation of this country
in work that lies in Canada, the United
OkdtcS SuOuAu JUN VAIN SohN0@ Al
underwriting the bonds.
whatever mode of cooperation is
adopted, the formation Of working
agreement between the two countries
is a necessary precedent to legisla-
ton of which it will be the basis"
Director Craig wrote.
He said that New England states
were now behint the project and that
"New York continues to be the seat
of opposition. the center of the only
opposition that remains"
Farmers Are Interested.
1.-THE interest of farmers throughout
the middle west in transportation in
water transportation, in the iakes-to-
ocean route as the leading factor in
the correction Of an impossible sit
uation, steadily grows" the report set
out It also said that western rail
way executives gave general assent
to the waterway theses"
The opinion was expressed by the
report that the waterway project
should not be made subordinate to
power development.

Food Situation Perilous.

Concerning the fod situation, Mr..
MacMaster said: t"The actual procur-
ing of food stuffs is increasingly diff
ficult particularly as foodshops are
often closed and stocks on hand are
invariably quickly depleted. Bacon and
other fats are not in stock at most
retail shops. The dollar is temporarily
officially sanctioned as circulating

Pastor Of First Methodist Church. On Summer Cruise To South European Waters, Describes Journey Across At lantic Ocean To Madeira Island

delightful way to travel. Our days are spent reading, writing and chat ting with delightful newly made friends, with refreshing maps inter- spersed The evenings are taken up with lectures, picture shows giving to us the countries we are to visit and what we are to see.
 We reach Madeira Island tomor- row morning, which is our first stop. My shaving brush has set on lit tie shelf by the mirror from New York to Madeira and there has not been movement in the ship enough to overturn it. The wireless keeps us in constant touch with the world. At the breakfast table on the morning of the fifth, we got the news of the prize fight in America, which-ex- cept for the national disgrace-in- terested me about as much as If l had read that Bill Jones' mule had kicked Tom smiths. gray horse out of the stable.
 Larder Well Stocked.
 The head steward informed me that he left New York with 5000 chickens. 1900 ducks, 2,5O0 squabs, 400 turkeys, 35,000 pounds of beef, 10000 pounds of bacon, 15,000 pounds of fish 5000 pounds of pork, 6,000 pounds of veal, 2,000 quarts of ice CISdiIl, OUiUUU ROuHuS Ol HUT dIlQ OtH CT things In proportion-so we are not likely to starve. All these meats are frozen in an immense refrigera- tor. Ice for use Is manufactured on board.
 In no department of modern prog ress have the steps been more, rapid and significant than in ocean steam CTS. From the man at the steering wheel to the engineers, everything aboard has beeM changed. The ma n at the wheel no longer drives the ship by the compass, whose needle may be deflected even by the cargo in the ship, but by the newly discovered gyroscope with which the ship pro- ceeds with the accuracy of the laws of mathematics. The ship Is built in sections so that if a misfortune should put any one part of the ship in a dangerous condition, that part could be eliminated and the ship could proceed. It has two bottoms fifteen feet apart. If by any means the ship should strike an iceberg or anything else and cut hole in any part of the ship, 1t would proceed as if nothing had happened. The in jured section would only be affect ed. The ship has nine wate-tight compartments so designed that each can be closed off at a moments Curtis double reduction geared tur- pines which reduce vibration to the minimum. The old ocean mastered by this tremendous work of man 8 genius becomes our friend and we look peacefully and restfully on her white-capped waves.

O o o Commissioners Busy at Capital.

O o O
 Commissioners Busy at Capital. 1 The two commissi and two attorneys of the city are working also, wAile in Montgomery, to pro tect Birmingham interests in regard l to legislation affecting the division of the ten mill road tax, two thirds of which Is of city origin, but all of which, for several years, has been handled entirely by the Jefferson county board of revenue. In this re gard also, the city contingent Is working to prevent the upkeep oi | the main state highways, passing through the city, from being placed as a burden on Birmingham | In addition, Commissioner Harris on Is fostering a bill to have re- turned to Birmingham the supervis- ion of pubic utilities serving the city, where the city's interests are affected, but now entirely in the hands of the Alabama Public Serv- ice commission. This home rule bill is also of much interest to several other Alabama cities who have del egations in Montgomery working for the restoration of authority for the cities affected.
 President McLendon, as a result of his drawing attention to the pen atty on municipal bonds of Alabama origin, has seen realized his call for a joint conference Of municipalities in BlrMingham, and fourteen cities, towns and county organizations, whose representatives met here a few daN ago, have appointed an ex- ecutivsSHstatewide committee that is working out ways and means for the passage of legislation that will put bonds of Alabama origin on a parity with the municipal bonds of commun- ities in other states.
 The city hall has been busy place during the week passed, and the of fices of the commissioners have been run the gamut from intensive eff fort to exhaustion. Conference after conference has been held in the legal department and many bills and acts have received during the past week the final touch of ultimate revision, as far as the city's interests are con- cerned.
 Now the municipality has it's big questions in working order, the. pre- liminary work is done, and officials say it is simply a question of what the legislature does and how the questions are placed before that body. The city has done all it could do.
