Acting Governor Hart today vetoed senate bill 98 and section 2 of senate bill 222. He approved eight other bills, leaving a total of 17 to be acted upon by Tuesday. The vetoed bill amended regulation of school district sinking fund invest ments to authorise open market pur chase of liberty bonds or certificates of indebtedness to be sold again upon the " open market for the purpose of redeeming district bonds due. The dis trict would be required to bear any loss by depreciation of securities pur chased. Acting Governor Hart holds that. since the ' legislation is not needed to help float i government loan, there is no reason why a county treasurer should be authorized to purchase securi-' ties for district trust funds- that will not readily sell at par. when many stable securities are available. Executive .disapproval falls upon sec tion 2 of senate bill 122. the fraternal insurance measure, because of a trans position of the word "not" that re versed the intent .of the act. It was designed to bring insurance orders that have not . readjusted their rates on an adequate basis. Section 1,-which stands approved, makes no material chance in the existing law. l-'our house and four senate bills signed today appropriate 1150,000 for woman's industrials home and clinic. codify grain inspection regulations, -establish a small claims court, establish a state land settlement policy, validate a Snohomish tax levy, enlarge the farm development act, create a code of daicy regulations and provide, for recovery on seasonal labor contracts. - PRESENT STEEL PRICE GOT BASIC V.VLI E OF PJGIROX FIXED AT $25.75 A GROSS TON".
