 FOR NEW EDI I7ICEl Wooden Structure Will Now Be Used As De-
 partment HOme MONEY TO BE USED IN ADMINISTRATION No Arrangements Made For
 Erection Of Special
 Building :
MONEY TO BE USED
 IN ADMINISTRATION
(State Capital Bureau.)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 9.-The plan of the State Forest commission to spend S2O,O00 of the forestry fund for il brick building, to be used exclusively as quarters of the state forestry de partment, has been upset by an opinion from Attorney General Harwell C.. Davis. In his opinion, furnished today, Attorney General Davis held that the commission had no right under the law tt, erect building from the forestry fund and that the provision of the for estry act that an- office be provided for the state forester at Montgomery did not mean that a $20,000 building could be erected to provide the office.
 Lot Already Bought.
 The state had already bought q lot on Dexter avenue, adjacent to the old Starke's school building, and the for cstry commission was preparing to erect q building thereon. It was stated from the office of the governor that as re- suit of the attorney generals opinion, the forestry department will be housed in the wooden building now on the lot. which was to have been moved to make way for the new structure.
 Attorney General Davis. in his opir- ion furnished to Page Bunker. state forester. called attention to the faht that the forestry commission. act pro- vided that the forestry fund shall be used for no other purpose than for the administration of this act and the pay ment of the appropriations" made in the act. Referring to the section which provided that the state forester should be provided with an office in the city of Montgomery, the attorney general stated:
 Davis Statement.
 "There are many provisions of the law which require that an office in Montgomery be provided for" certain department or officer. None of these sections have ever been construed to- authorize the expenditure of money ap- propriated for the expense of such de-- partment or officer to be used for the purpose of constructing permdnent buildings. It will be noted that Section Is, supra provides specifically for the payment out of the state forestry fund of the expense of the Furnishings of said office. but makes no provision for the payment for the expense of erecting a building to be used exclusively by the commissioner of forestry.
 ''Thp state forestry fund by this act is limited by unmistakable provisions to the expendinS of funds for the ads ministration of the act In my opinion. the act clearly indicates no legislative intent to appropriate funds to be used in the erection of building to be used exclusively by the commissioner of forestry"
