TRAVEL MONEY
NOT TO BE USED
IN BUYING CAR
Attorney General Gives Ruling
At Request Of State Au-
ditor Steen
When the state legislature makes

When the state legislature makes
an appropriation for travelling ex-
pense it doesn't mean that the money
may be used for the purchase Of
automobiles in which to do the
travelling, Attorney General George
F. Shafer's office has informed State
Auditor John Steen.
The attorney generals ruling came
in response to . request by Steen
for information on the point. The
auditor sought legal advice when one
Of the. state departments sought to
use. money appropriated to it for
travelling expense in the purchase
Of an automobile in which to do the
travelling.
In another opinion to Steen, the
attorney general ruled that the state
auditing board must pass on all
bills incurred in connection with the
upkeep or repair of the state capitol
and grounds and the governors
mansion.
Commenting on the question the
opinion said: "The statute makes
it the duty of the state auditing
board to audit all claims, accounts,
bills or demands against the state,
except those Of state-owned utilities,
enterprises and business projects,
and such others as are specifically
excepted by law. There appears to
be no statute specifically excepting
expenditures for the capitol, capitol
grounds or executive mansion from
the requirement that they be audit
ed by the state auditing board.
"The board Of administration has
succeeded to the rights, powers and
duties Of the board Of trustees Of
public property and, therefore, has
charge and control Of the capitol.
mansion. Claims and accounts in
connection with the expenditures for
such purposes are required to be
acted upon by the state auditing
board"

Postal men estimated the number
Of letters consigned to the flight

than 100000 pieces Of mail had been
collected last night, and collections
were to be continued almost to
plane time.
The flight was scheduled to start

mailed by persons outside of st.
Louis. These had been enclosed in

ter and contained instructions to
