STATE FIRE BU
REAU GETS UNEX
PECTED FINANCES
! Ruling of Attorney General That De
partment Is Entitled to the Funds
Paid in by Insurance Co.
From Wednesday's Lally
Fire Marshal Frye was pleased to
hear Monday afternoon that the at
torney general had ruled that his de
partment was entitled to all of the
:., K,- h firn IrciirQrro
companie8 under the law that taxes;
them three-eighths of 1 per cent on
salaries and wages, in addition to
$10,000 for maintenance and $3,000
for fees and compensation. The re
niainder of $10,000 will he availablei
for the next twelve months.
The work has been in the hands
of Deputy Marshal Rutcher, with In
spector MsCloud in Omaha, Inspec
tor Mockenhaupt in the South Platte
and Inspector Requartte in the
North Platte. Mr. Frye has in minel
several new activities that ill now
be made possible.
The supreme court once ruled that
i th is is a continuing appropriation
with which the legislature has noth
ing to do, and for all funds are avail-
able onlv for the use specified
.. - . . ; . ,
The
attorney general says that under the
oil Inspection ruling this law is un
constitutional, by parity of reason, if
it creates a greater fund than is
necessary and if the fund is not
greater than necessary then those!
contributing it are entitled to have
it used for the purposes for which!
it was established. Several compa
nies had refused to pay the tax be
