COURT AFFRMS COUNTS RIGHT
 TOSELLGROUND
Cannot, However, Mort gage Court House Site.
 Board To Act

Official authority was given Thurs day by the Alabama supreme court to the Jefferson county board of revenue : to lease or sell the present court house and jail lot and use the proceeds for Construction of n new county admin istration building on the lot recently purchased for that purpose near Wood row Wilson park, according to special dispatch to The Age-Hera1d from Mont gomery Thursday.
 The supreme court ruling was an- Iiouneed after hearing on the appeal from the chancery' court of the petition for an injunction to restrain the board of revenue from selling, leasing or mort gazing the present court house and jail property. The ease was filed as a friendly suit by Fred AI, Jackson to test the validity of the boards right to dis pose of the property so as to assure |. prospective purchasers that there would be no legal strings to the sale or lease. When given hearing before Judge Will liam M. Walker, the petition was re- fused except insofar as it applied to - the right to mortgage the property An injunction to prevent placing a mortgage on the property was granted forthwith, but Judge Walker ruled that the board of revenue had a legal right to sell or lease it.s This ruling was Sustained by the supreme court ruling announced. Thursday.
 Chief Justice Anderson stated in his formal oponion sun the case that Section 130 of the Alabama code of 1907 gave the county commissioners. or other board of control of county affairs. general supervision and. control of county prop ertX, and that the right to lease or sell such property might be implied from the granting of this right.
 Immediate Steps Expected
 Removal of legal obstacles, to the sale of the old property is expected to re- suit in immediate steps on the part of the present hoard of revenue to dispose of it. President D. C. Ball. T. F. Huey md w. B. Copeland have been strongly m favor of tEe new site during the en-. tire campaign and Lacey Edmondson an- nounced that he was willing to abide by by the will of the people as expressed in the referendum Tuesday.
 q The fifth member of the board. Jerry GwinH, is expected to be guided largely by the result of the referendum, al- though he has advocated use of the pres- ent site. 1- :,
 The maioritxsof the new board have expressed themselves in favor of the new site or willing te abide by the verdict of the voters.
 At meeting of the board several weeks ago, a price of $I,200,O0O was announced for the present court house property. but no bid of more than SSOO,- OUo has been received, according to county officials.

WASHINGTON, May s15.-The text of the Presidents message yetoing ths soldier bonus bill, follows
 "To the House of Representative
 Herewith is returned, without ap- proyal. H. R. T959. aebill to provide adjusted compensation for veterans of the World war, and for other pur- poses "a p,a
 "The bill .pteyides bonus for the veterans of the World war and de pendents of those who fell. To cer- tain of it's beneficiaries whose maxi mum benefits do not exceed $50, this bonus is to be paid immediately in cash. To each of it's beneficiaries who are not to receive such immediate cash payment, there is to be provided free insurance under a twenty-year endoF- ment plan. The face value. Of each policy will be based upon the military service, the average amount being at least $962, payable at the expiration of twenty years, or at death prior thereto. After the lapse of two years the holder of policy may borrow thereon from banks at reasonable rates of interest. If amounts so borrowed are not. repaid by the veteran the government is obligated to pay to the banks this in debtedness which ultimately reduces the maturity value of the policy. '--
 "An appropriation of $f46, 6,O00, 900 for the fiscal year 1925 will be re- quired to provide the pro rated annual cost of the insurance and to meet cash payments to those not receiving such insurance. This does not include ad- ministrative. costs, which will amount to approximately $8,500,000 the first year. For the fiscal year 1926 an appropriation of $155, ,50O, 900 will be required and the annual appropriations for the twentylyear period will aggre- gate, according tQ the lowest estimate, $2,2S0, ,T5S, ,542. These and the other figures -hefein are from the Veterans Bureau, but the treasury estimates are materially more.
 That part of the annual appropria- tion not required to meet the cash bonus or to pay policies maturing on account of death will be invested in government bonds. The face value of the bonds thus acquired plus the in- terest thereon reinvested will equal during the twenty-year period the ma turity value of the insurance policies, aggregating at the lowest estimate $3,- 140,UOO,OUU.
 For No Other Purpose
 "The money sfent for the acquisition of these bonds manifestly cannot be spent for any other purpose, no matter how urgent our other requirements may be. In other words, we will be committing. this nation for period of twenty years tosan additional average annual appropriation of $114000, 900. f Il Il AZ ous reflection, but if we are to have such commitment. it should be in some form which would be in harmony with recognized principles of government finance. @t+
 "The provisions of this bill are not so in harmony.
 Under it the government will not have in the fund in 1945 two and a half billions of dollars. All it will have will be its own obligations. and it will owe two and half billions of
