acted.

and 100000 had been collected.

Gov. Price Refuses
Further Answer on
Size Of State Pay Roll
Controller Hodges Says
Delegate Misinterpreted
Figures on Suluries
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, March 49,
Gov. Price last night said II still
stand on my original statement,
figures and ALL" when asked for
comment on new charges by Dele
gate E. Blackburn Moore Of Berry,
vile that he had increased by ex-
ecutive order the State pay roll
approximately 100000.
"Col. Hodges has answered Mr..
Moore very fully and effectively"
the Governor added.
In q statement from Winchester
last night, Delegate Moore said he
had noted that an aide of Gov.
Price had denied that the Governor,
in a statement Monday, had des-
cribed as false" figures on salaries
and new positions supplied by de-
partment heads to the House Of
Delegates.
Mr.. Moore said that "if the
figures were not false they must be
correct and since they are correct,
Gov. Price, by executive order. in
creased the State pay roll approu-
mately $2,O00,000
In his statement last Monday,
Gov. Price denied that he had in
creased salaries $4,000 900 in 1899.
The reply of Controller Leroy
Hodges mentioned by Gov. Price
was in the form of q letter last
Wednesday sent by Mr.. Hodges to
Mr.. Moore, who had dispatched a
telegram to the controller asking
If information furnished the House
were false"
Col. Hodges said in his letter
that "The limitations of the figures
furnished by the controllers office
pursuant to House resolution No. 6
were explained to you the morning
you visited this office to discuss the
provisions of your resolution. I was
therefore very much surprised at
the Interpretation you placed on
them in your speeches before the
House Of Delegates.
The principal factor which you
apparently have overlooked, and
which created most of the mis-
understanding that has arisen re-
garding State salaries, is that my
reply to House resolution No. 6 dealt
with persons and not With positions.
For this reason we did not add the
f1gures listed, and the tabulation of
our report which was prepared by
the auditor of public accounts at
the request of the clerk of the House
OF Delegates is absolutely meaning
less and grossly misleading. - ."
