Prison, Bat Xspairs and Supplies Axe Board's Job. Balem. Or.. Aug. 2. Governor Wlthycombe Is the sole supervisor of the Oregon atate penitentiary, accord-ins- to an opinion of Attorney General Brown, handed down Wednesday at the request of the state board of control, but the board of control is the pur chasing agent for supplies and for the construction of improvements. There was some difference of opin ion between Governor Wlthycombe and Secretary Olcott and Treasurer Kay as to how far the authority of the board Of control went in- the affairs of the penitentiary since the new law trans ferred the control of the prison to the shoulders of the governor. It was held by fhe governor that the board of control had authority over purchasing supplies, while the other two members thought that eince the governor was given full control that the board was entirely relieved of responsibility for everything connected with the institu tion. In his opinion Attorney General Brown says that the law is to be lib erally construed so as to give the gov ernor authority where the statute is ambiguous. Chapter 174 .of the lawi of 1917 places all authority fop' the state's activities at the penitentiary with the governor. But the at does not repeal or supercede the authority of the board of control acting as a purchasing agent. Including such ac tion for the penitentiary. This au thority extends only to the purchasing of such supplies, repairs, improve ments, etc., as are necessary. Road Changes Possible Salem, Or., Aug. 2.

This opinion was rendered at the re quest of the state highway commission and it shows that the commission is vested with a wide discretion with reference to roads to be Improved. The law says: "No description of any highway pro vided for herein shall be construed to prevent the state highway commission from making such local changes in the location thereof aa they may deem proper."
