"Whereas, The war gardens in the
city and suburbs are evidencing in
dustrious. patient and patriotic at
tention given thom from early spring
and during the heat of the summer
and are now being harvested with a
generous and prolific crop, and
"Whereas, The surplus of such
gardens should be put on sale, no
waste be allowed and those who have
raised these crops .should -be re
munerated for their labor.

they be allowed the use of the curbs

To Prevent Was to
By establishing curb markets

other persons passing purchase the

Opinions From the
Attorney (General
An opinion has been given to Com
missioner of Banking l>afean by
Deputy Attorney General Kun to the
effect that there is no authority for
a building and loan association In
corporated under the act of 1874.
to make investment of
funds In an office building.
In an opinion by Deputy Attornay
General Collins Dr. Nathan C.
Schueffer, superintendent of public
instruction, is advised that the acts
of 1917 increasing salaries of school
superintendents and their assistants
can not apply to incumbents who
hold office because ol election or ap
pointment prior to enactment of the
new statutes. This ruling will apply
to such superintendents and Mr. Col
lins says that while the Increases are
richly merited the constitution
stands in the way of their being paid
the additional salary.
Mr. Collins has also advised Dr.
Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the
board of game commissioners, that
game commissioners have no author
ity to arrest persons caught violat
ing the game laws.
