DEPARTMENT PAYROLL MAY
AWAIT DECISION 0E C0IIRT

Possibility that the entire payroll
for the state highway department
may be held up until the legality
of the recent highway department
reorganization is determined by a
court, existed here today.
State Auditor John Stecn today
was awaiting the institution of a
court action seeking to force him
to pay certain bills approved by the
new highway organization and pre-
sented to Steen for payment
If the highway department payroll
is certified to him in the same man
ner in which the other bills were
certified he will refuse to pay it,
Steen said.
The auditor has suggested that in
order to avoid such contingency
and make sure that the employees Of
the highway department get their
money on time, the payroll be GER
titled in manner used prior to the
reorganization. This would mean
that it would be signed by H. &.
Frahm as chief engineer and secre-
reorganization plan Frahm retains
Ermatinger was named secretary.
The bills which Steen has rejected
were signed by Ermatingcr in his Of
fetal capacity.
Bronson Retained
Ermatinger said today that the
highway department has retained
Judge H. A. Bronson Of Grand Forks
to represent it in the court decision
which will be filed within a day or
two.
An effort will be made to take the
case directly to the supreme court,
it was indicated, thereby avoiding
the delay which would result if the
case were first tried in the district
court and then appealed to the SUI
preme court.
Some way may be found to adjust
the differences between the highway
Ermatinger said. so that the payroll
may be paid without question. It is
possible, however, that it will be GER
titled in the same manner as the
other bills and that Steen will hold
it up until the court renders its de-
cision.
Steen will be represented by the
attorney generals office which re-
Gently advised him that the highway
department reorganization was il
legal because the emergency clause
contained in the act authorizing the
reorganization had not legally car
ried. The attorney general held that
the department may not be legally
recognized until July l when the
bill would become effective in the
ordinary course of events.
