WHAT IS THE CASH BALANCE?

The opening gun of what promises to be quite bat te looms at Territorial headquarters Juneau where the Examining Board created by he~last Legislature and composed of the "Three Horsemen" - Governor George A. Parks chairman; w. c. Smith, treasurer and Attorney General John Rustgard, secreta1y-is aligned against Auditor Cash Cole.
 War clouds have been gathering in the Panhandle area for weeks the first Imblngs reverberating here just recently Both sides appear to be firmly trenched the first gas bombs being tossed into Coles dugout last week when the Board reversed Cole II claims.
 Eight of the claims originated with the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners two in the office of Edu caton and from the Territorial Legislature. The involved was small, S1,974O0
 All the opinions were written by the Attorney Gen eral
 Rustgard The Gateway is informed contends that the Auditors office has right authority to review any action of any Territorial agency under whose supervision money is expended.
 The Auditors law has this to say: The Auditor shall audit and allow all claims demands which just and true and legal charge against the Territory and for the payment of which appropriation has been made by the Legislature"
 Auditor Cole believes if any Territorial agency is spending money in unbusinessike his office has the right to provide pr0mu gate such rules and regulations will permit right determination as to whether not the claims just demands against the Territory.
 Coles contention seems to be that the opposition is attempting to bolster up the Territorial Treasury cash balance by delaying the payment of legitimate claims while secondary claims passed for payment contin- uousy He intends to follow the literal meaning of the wording in the Appropriation Bill in expenditures The Auditor feels owing to the condition of the Treasury that primary expenditures, which include school and pension funds, mperiled.
 However the Juneau Empire, in it's opening para graph reporting the Boards findings, says: {" that no shortage of Territorial funds is imminent and that the Territorial Auditor has authority to sit in review on any decision within the proper functions delegated to other officials or boards ..."
 There IS no question as to fraud deceit entering the picture from Coles standpoint only that of proper procedure and protection of the Terrtory's funds
 Viewing the situation from a distance it seems that Cole far from being satisfied with the idea of giving an lmpersonation of Rameses II in mummy costume at ball The conroversey is not settled to his satisfaction and ii the matter is carried to the courts he Iees tat every Alaskan taxpayer and person who has child in school we'll as every pioneer will be vitalv interested. N '
 In any case, what is the Territorial Treasury cash balance? We haven't seen published heard anything about thls important item for months
