legality of procedure under the
Governor Richardson budget passed

in the general fund to be used for
the support Of other departments.
The four cases being heard are
Will G. Wood, pcrintendcnt of
public instruction against Ray H.,
Riley, state controllers; Railroad
commission against Riley; Western
Shore Lumber company against
Riley; and Edwin T. Kiser, real
estate commissioner, against Riley.
Riley has turned all money re-
ccived into the general fund, and
has refused to credit it to the de-
partments until they obtain a court
decision on the legality of such pro.
