'0FFICE HERE
State Board of Administration
To Direct This Department
After July l
GOES UNDER NEW LAW
Removal of Offices to Capitol
Is Dependent Upon the
Availability of Office

Headquarters for the administra-
tion Of the regulatory laws Of the
state will be in the state capitol
whenever sufficient office space be-
comes available, un~er resolution
passed by the state board Of admin
iatration in meeting here yesterday
afternoon. The time is indefinite
and may not be for many months.
The regulatory work is placed
under the general supervision OF
the state board Of administration
after July l, under new laws enact
ed by the 1923 legislature. The leg
islature's action was taken in part
upon the endation of Presi-
dent John Lee Coulter of the Agri-
cultural College and committee
named by Governor Nestos to con
slider the matter.
President Coulter had urged that
the regulatory works. be removed
from the duties - the administra-
tive force of the Agricultural Col
lege, holding that it's purpose was
not the same as that of the college
which was an educational institu-
tion. He had expressed belief that
since it was an administrative de-
partment the administration should
be conducted from the state capitol
The board of administration mem.
bers discussed the work of the de.
partment under the new law with
c. p. Guthrie, state food commits
sioner and chemist, and went over
the budget prepared by Mr.. Guthrie
for the ensuing year. The bulge,
provides for expenditures Of $50,
2S90O for one year.
The Legislature appropriated $44,
600 for the work of the division fol
two years, but it is expected to bt
self-sustaining. because of fees re
;; ceived.
The only material readjustment in
fees to be charged after July |, &C
cording to Mr.. Guthrie, is that the
oil inspection fee is reduced from :
to 2 l-2 cents per barrel.
The new regulatory division will
centralize administration of pure
food, hotel, oil and similar inspec
tion.
