$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itol and the law should be repealed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repealed to permit reversion of the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.
