Bismarck Woman Will Be Given
Capital Concession,
LANCER Says
FOUR BIDS WERE Received
Board Votes Four to One to
Give Governor Power Of
Appointment
by the Associated Press)


The state board Of administration
has voted to allow Gov. william Lam
ger to appoint q manager Of the
lunch room to be operated in the new
capitol building.
This action was taken by to ! vote
after the board received an opinion
from Attorney General p. O. Satire
that the appointment Is q ''preroga-
tive" Of the governor.
John HUSKY. commissioner Of ag-
riculture and labor, cast the dissent
ing vote on the ground that the at
torney generals opinion was not based
on law.
At the same time the board was In
formed by Gov. LANCER that Mrs. H.
w. Herman, operator OF the present
lunch room In the north wing Of the
old capitol building. will be appoint
ed to manage the new lunch room.
He did not indicate whether any
charge would be made for the priv
elegc.
The board, after voting to place
the matter of appointment Of lunch
room manager with the governor,
transmitted to him four bids received
for the concession.
Some Bids Offered
The bids were submitted by p. r.
Fossen, Blabon. N. D., who offered to
equip the dining room and pay a rem
tai Of $l55 q month: Isabel H. Olgier-
son, Bismarck, who offered rental
OF $125, and SIS extra II permitted to
operate on Sundays; Mrs. Elizabeth
Wenzel, Bismarck, who offered $50 6
month, and Marie 8. Koch. Hazelton,
who entered an application without
specifying the rental fee.
Late In December the board re-
quested an opinion regarding the
operation or maintenance Of the capt.
toll restaurant and Harold D. Shaft.
assistant state attorney general. re-
piled that the law never expressly au-
thorized the operation Of q restaurant
in the capitol building. He said it was
his understanding that such restau-
rant had been maintained. however.
under the direction Of the board Of
administration or its predecessors. for
80 or 70 years.
Could Continue Arrangement
He advised that the board could
continue the operation OF the lunch
room on its present scale as tenn
porary arrangement in the new build
ing, until legislative authority may
be secured for more extensive arrange
ments. He said it was his opinion the
board Is not authorized to enter into
any longtime agreement or lease and
suggested such action be withheld un-
til legislative authority Is obtained.
Sathre's opinion, given to the gov
ernor, said 1T has always been con-
coded that the appointment OF q man
ager Of the lunch room operated in the
capitol building has been q prerogative
exercised by the governor. and as far
as have been able to ascertain. the
appointment OF such manager always
has been made by the governor"
Satire said that since there is no
statute on the subject. and in view OF
the precedent. 1t Is his opinion the
governor Is authorized to make the
appointment by virtue of his executive
office. He also held there Is no au-
thority for advertising for bids or for
letting the operation Of the lunch room
to any bidder.
