NEWS OF THE STATE HOUSE
Items of General Interest Gathered
From Reliable Sources at
' State House.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Governor Morehead has returned to
his office after a stay of several days
at his homo at FallB City where ho as
sisted in harvesting a part of his ap
ple crop. Fire Commissioner W. S.
Rldgell called on tho governor Im
mediately after his arrival and dlB
cussed tho proposed suit against Stato
Treasurer Hall. Mr. Rldgell explained
that tho treasurer had found a clauso
in tho general appropriation bill of
1013 that appropriated Tees for tho
use of the flro commissioner's office up
to September 1, that .Mr. Hnll had Im
mediately countersigned warrants that
ho had formerly refused to sign, and
had them sent to tho lire commission
er's office. Mr. Rldgell refused to re
ceipt for tho warrants, but lIey wero
receipted for by a clerk In his office.
After his conference with the gover
nor Mr. Rldgell said n suit would bo
commenced nt once to compel h
stato treasurer to pay out feos In tho
trensury on claims orlcinatinc from
the lire commissioner's office after
September 1. Tho warrants tendered
by the Btnte treasurer on claims prior
to September 1 will not be cashed for
the present by Mr. Rldgell.
., ;
May Reach $20,000
After making a closer check of re
'elpts and expenditures of the stato
fair, Secretary Mellor and Treasurer
Dickman of the stato board of agricul
ture find that the balance remaining
on hand will be larger than they fig
ured at first. Instead of $12,000 or
$15,000. tho board will havo $18,000
or more, after paying all debts. Tho
surplus may possibly reach $20,000,
but It is hardly expected to go as
high as that. Receipts will not much
exceed the first estimate of $105,000,
but the profits of tho fair wero In
creased by holding down expenses. Of
the $18,000 or more left as a balance,
$10,000 will be set aside as a surplus
for the ensuing year. The board will
bo able to take care of all obligations
until that time and start the fair freo
of debt, with an additional $10,000 to
insure against a deficit duo to unfav
orable weather.
No Improvements at Fair Grounds
While tho recent stato fair was one
of the most successful over held, no
Improvements will bo mado at tho
state fair grounds next year by tho
state board of agriculture. This is
tho opinion of Secretary W. It. Mel
lor. It Is tho policy of the stato board
to make improvements with Its own
earnings whenever possible, but this
year It Is not believed the net profits
will bo sufficient to Justify the expendi
ture of any of tho funds that may bo
on hand. Just how much will be on
hand after all bills nre paid will not
be known for some time, but it is not
likely thnt the net amount will ex.
ceed $15,000 or $18,000.
Bank Deposits Greatest Known
Stato banks of Nebraska now have
on deposit moro than $110,000,000
tho largest amount by several million
dollars that they havo ever had and
their loans for the first tlmn hnv
passed the $100,000,000 mark. The
number of banks operating under state
laws is also greater than ever boforo
being 791. Theso are tho figures
ehown by reports mado to tho state)
banking department giving business;
conditions on August 20. Tho growth
of the banks in resources and business
items has been greater during tbo past
year than In any previous twelve
months.
August, this year, was the coldest
such month In forty years, according
to the government weather bureau.
Tho monthly mean temperature as
shown by the records of elghty-soven
stations was 67.2 degrees, which Is B.fr
degrees below the average for forty
years, and Is the lowest record in that
time.
'To Commemorate Dr. Bessey's Work
