LICENSE TAG PLANT
Will COST $4,000
Contract Awarded Monday By
Board Of Administration;
Thompson Votes No

The contract for installing a plant
at the state prison for manufacture
Of automobile license tags was let
by the state board OF administration
late Monday to John r. Valid, Hunt
ingdon, Penn, who bid $4,000.
This action was taken by four-to-
one vote after the board, by similar
vote, held the plant is warranted.
Governor William LANCER met with
the board and approved the project
which was voted by the last legis-
lature. The law provides that tho
governor and board of administration
must hold the plant is warranted be-
fore it is established.
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton Arthur E. Thompson, ex-officio
member of the board, voted against
establishing the plant and against
acceptance OF the bid. Nelson Sau-
vain, chairman, r. M. Rishworth,
Mrs. Jennie Ulsrud and Commission
er of Agriculture John HUSKY voted
for the project.
The board approved a bill for $3.50
submitted by the Pillsbury Engineer
ing company for plans and specifica.
tons OF the proposed license tag
plant. The vote was three to two,
with HUSKY and Thompson opposing
payment Of the bill, and Sauvaiu,
Rishworth and Mrs. Ulsrud voting
for payment.
AS originally presented, the bill
called for $3.50 but later was reduced
500 by the Pillsbury company.
Get Legal Opinion
The board acted after securing an
opinion from Assistant Attorney
General Harold Shaft which passed
on the legality OF the action In en-
ploying the Pillsbury company to
prepare plans and specifications.
The opinion after reciting the facts
that the company had been informal-
ly employed by the board at a regu-
larry called meeting at which no
minutes were made showing the en-
ployment, and that at later meet
ing of the board. attended by the
three appointive members only, the
plans and specifications prepared by
the company were accepted and ad-
vertisement for bids were directed to
be made, which was made q part Of
the minutes OF the meeting, Shaft ad-
yised that inasmuch as the company
had prepared the plans and specifica-
tons they should be paid. He ad-
vised, however, that the employment
of individuals or firms should appear
in the minutes and the compensa-
ton should be fixed by formal action
of the board.
The opinion also advised the board
that the bids should be opened, read
and filed and that if, after meeting
with the governor it should decide
that the expenditure for the plant
was warranted, it should accept the
bid Of the lowest responsible bidder.

Mahatma Gandhi Is
Again Held in Jail

Ahmedabad, India, Aug. LIP
The Mahatma Gandhi, his
wife, and 80 followers were ar
rested by civil authorities Tues
day at the outset Of their new
disobedience campaign for In
dian independence, but their
early release on parole was con-
sidered likely.
Plans to march to the village
Of Ras in Kara district, where
they hoped to gain converts for
the individual movement, were
thwarted when Gandhi was ar
rested at the home of a wealthy
mill owner, Seth Ranchooddass.
The arrests were made under
provisions of ordin airy law,
whereby they became state pri-
soners to be detained at the gov
ernment's pleasure. If parole is
broken they must stand an open
trial.
Only recently Gandhi an
nounced he would disband the
Ashram, which he called the most
precious thing In his life, and
that Its 30 members, his wife,
and secretary, Mahadev Desai,
would march to Ras. It was
planned that If Gandhi were ar
rested the others would continue.
In the projected movement, in
diyidual acts would replace the
previous mass campaign.
