Counties May
Issue Warrants

The state budget law has not in
validated sections OF the revised
codes of Montana providing for the
issuance of emergency warrants by
county commissioners for the relief
of a stricken community overtaken
by a calamity" Attorney General L.
A.. Foot has said in an opinion re-
q~uested by Representative S. c. Ar
mold of Saltwater county.
"On the contrary" the attorney
general said, at is my opinion that
the county may issue warrants not
to exceed $4,000 to carry out the
provisions of the section. If the esti-
mate of the expenditure exceeds that
sum, then the board, before it is
authorized to spend anything under
the provisions, must submit the ques-
ton to the electors of the county"
The law, the attorney general ex-
planned, requires petitions signed by
not less than 100 freeholders of the
county to be filed, and the board car
then meet in special session to con.
slider the petition. Thereafter the pro
cedure depends upon what the esti-
mate of the board is of the amount
required to be expended. The proce-
dure is fully set forth in sections and
should be carefully observed, ne
added.

NEW BRITAIN HAS VALUABLE WORK
 OF ART IN VAULT

New Britain, Conn, June 29. (UP) Two art experts have been invited to examine a painting believed to be a self-portrait by Van Dyke. painted in 1923 and valued at nearly $Z6o,- 900.
 The painting is owned by Constan- tine Chaviaris, son of former gov ernor of Symi and II other Turkish islands in the Agean Sea. The paint ing. kept in vault here, has been examined by Rafael Cubbedu, New Britain artist, who has studied the old masters extensively in Europe. Cubbedu declared the painting authentic and very valuable and in- vited Professor Walter H. Klar or the University of Pennsylvania ana Professor Anson K. Cross of Colum- bia university, authorities on art, to study the supposed Van Dyke.
 Chaviaris said the painting was given to his father by Turkish con sul at Venice who owed his appoint ment to the governor. Originally, Chaviarsi believes, 1t was presented by the artist to Marchesa Elena Grimalda. The painting passed into the Possession of Austrians, during an invasion about 100 years later and 1t was acquired by the consul from an Austrian army officer.

Arthur Mcdonald Seeking Factory
 Inspector Place
William Monagan of Ham- den Also After That Position = Town Chair- man Crary Says the Ap- pointnlent Should G0 to Mcdonald - This City Has Not Been Treated Generously
ARTHUR J. MALONEY
 NEW SUPERINTENDENT

Althougi1 Labor Commission elect Joseph. Tone, who takes office at Hartford on Wednesday, has all ready named several prominent democrats to his staff, he still has several more men to name before his entire list of aides is complete With this fact in view, local demo cratic leaders to-day were bending every effort to gain for some local resident a position on the staff of factory inspectors in view of the fact that New Haven received five appointments and other cities and towns in Connecticut which have never had the democratic showing Waterbury has made in the years gone by have been given substantial recognition by Commissioner-elect Tone.
 Race Down to Two.
 Reliable reports to-day were to the effect that the question of the factory inspectors appointment in Waterbury. lies between two men, Arthur Mcdonald, formerly connect ed in similar capacity with factories in this district under the navy or- dinance department, but at present an active worker for the democratic party, and William Monagan of Hamden, formerly of this city. The unusual situation created here though, Is that while many of the recognized democratic leaders of the city are backing Mir Mcdonald sev- eral others have created a surprise by strongly recommending MT Mon- agan.
 Crary for Local Candidate
 Town Chairman John H. Crary early this afternoon declared that he Is not favorable to Mir Mon agan's appointment If 1t is to hurt the chances of any local resident from gaining a place on MT Tone staff. Mir Crary wrote letter of recommendation for Mir Monagan but when questioned earlier in the quest for places on the Tone stan declared emphatically that he would not favor the Hamdenite's selection if 1t, will defect from the candidacy of any Waterbury democrat.
 ''I am absolutely opposed to MI Monagan's appointment to MI Tones staff if 1t will hinder any local mans chances" stated Town Chairman Crary to-day. water bury has several candidates for the office of factory inspector and l be. lieye 1t Is the duty of the local administrati tion to take care of those residing here." he added.
