FUNDS LACKING
FOR ELEVATOR
BONDING WORK
Work to be Stopped Unless
\ Funds are Made Available,
MIR. Hagan Says
TRANSFER is REFUSED

Funds for the state grain grading
department Of which John N. Hagan
is supervisor have been reduced to
between $500 and $500 and unless sd-
ditional funds are obtained the work
of bonding elevators which accept
grain for storage, which was permit
ted under modified decree of the
federal court when an order was is-
sued restraining enforcement Of tn,
initiated act, will cease, Mr.. Hagan
said today.
Operation of the weights and meas
ures inspection department probably
will not be put into effect, because
of lack of funds, he added. This
duty was transferred to the sheriffs
Of the state but the act was held in
valid by the attorney general because
it attempted to modify an initiated
act with less than two-thirds vote
in the legislature. Consequently
there is no appropriation for the
work.
Attorney General Shafer recently
gave an opinion to the effect that
the unused balance in the former
grain grading fund might be expend-
ed by Mr.. Hagan's, department: The
emergency commission, with the gov
ernor and secretary Of state acting.
made an order for the transfer of
$4,000 to the department of Mr.,
Hagan. The transfer has not been
made by Treasurer Steen.
The order Of the emergency COM
mission, Mr.. Steen said today, was
for the transfer Of $4,000 from the
unused balance of the board of rail
road commissioners grain inspection.
fund. No such fund exists, he says.
There is grain grading fund with
small balance available for Mr..
Hagan's department without trans
fer, he said. The treasurer added
that he had been informed the emer-
gency commission order referred to
an appropriation of the 1921 lepis-
lature for the state division of
grades, weights and measures which,
according to the books Of Mr.. Hagan
as reported by him to the emergency
commission, contains $4,000 but
which, according to the records of
the treasurer's Office. contains slb.-
900.
Treasurer Steen said the attorney
general held the appropriation was
from the general fund, while he held
that 1t was out Of the grain grading
and weighing fund.
"This appropriation, reesrdlss. Of
what fund it is. was for q specified
time from July l, 1921, to July !.
1929" Mr. Steen said, "and to pro
vide funds for the Grain Inspection
and Grading Department
which law the United States suprem,
court has held unconstitutional. It has
been my contention that this appr..
'pr'ation became unavailable as soon
as the law, for which it was intend
ed to provide funds, became null and
void."
The treasurer added that ut could
not be made available after July l bv
any pretense at transferring, az It
would still remain an appropriation
out Of the general fund, and the at
torney general, in an opinion on
June 10. 1923, has held that the an.
propriations Of the General Budget
Law OF 1921, which is for a specif3ed
time from July 1. 1921, to July /.
1923, is not available. and cannot be
used after July l."

The town of Nmburg, Just be-

troops yesterday as permanent

Gus recent frontier incidents. Bar

that town.
Day before yesterday two
French soldiers following some
German smugglers were surround
