(Associated Press Photo) $24,137 FOR CAPITOL VAULT TO REVERT The $24,137 appropriated by the 1031 legislature for an underground vault for the state capltol cannot be used in construction of the new Cap itol and the law should be repealed to permit the money to revert back to the general fund, Attorney Gen eral I. H. Van winkle ruled today. The legislature appropriated $25.- 000 for a vault, and plans were drawn for the construction. The board of control was given control over the matter and during the year 1931 the proposal was vetoed several times by Governor Julius L. Meier. Voting with him at that time was Rufus C. Holman, state treasurer. Secretary of State Hal E. Hoss was sponsor of the move to construct the vault. ' Van Winkle stated the fund can not be used for any other purpose since the old capltol was destroyed by fire, and that the law should be repealed to permit reversion of the balance to the state.

Realty Partnership Formed Last Week Monmouth Fred Huber, who has been working the past summer on Klger Island, south of Corvallis, Is back in Monmouth and has formed a partnership with Fred O'Rourke in the real estate business. O'Rourke has been handicapped because of poor health and Mr. Huber will do the outside work. Mr. Huber has lived in Monmouth 48 years and has seen the city pass through many ups and downs, in the interval. His work has given him familiarity with all of the prop erty and roads in this section and his experience should be of service to him in the real estate business.
