Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry objected to the practice of the Joint Ways and Means committee of writing notes to administrative heads telling them how appropriated funds were to be spent. State Treas urer Sig Unander pointed out that the memorandums do not have the status of law. Gov. Paul Patterson commented that there was an increasing tenden cy on the part of legislative com mittees to address directives to the executive branch. One of the members of the joint committee, Rep. Alfred Corbett (D-Portland), had ob jected to the practice during the session which ended last week. He demanded copies of all such memorandums which he said should have the backing of the entire Legislature, not just com mittee chairmen. Cell Block Approved Completion of a cell block at the state penitentiary and relo cation of the power plant out side the walls of the prison, authorized by the 1955 Legisla ture, won approval of the board. The work will cost some $100,000. The board allowed a claim of $4,429 fqr repair of the roof on the state garage build ing. The board was also advised that the congregation of the First Presbyterian church here would accept the $332,000 offer the state has made for the property. It is within the Capitol Mall area and eventually will be used for state purposes. Newbry Speaks Up As for that $4,429 item $4, 429.77 to be exact Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry, who is custodian of state buildings and grounds, noted with a bit of bite in his voice that the legislative Ways and Means committee was "very kind" in suggesting that the roof repair cost come out of the general operating and maintenance fund of the capitol buildings - and grounds account. He said ways and means gives him a budget, then takes part of it away from him. He expressed belief the bill should have been paid by the emergency board. Gov. Paul L. Patterson sug gested that the Emergency Board be advised that the bill had been paid as suggested so that if Newbry must call on the board for funds later to replace it, the board will be on notice. The board decided to tighten the procedure involving han dling of funds of institutional in mates and patients . by raising the bonds of some . superinten dents to $10,000. Superinten dents affected are those at Ore gon State hospital, Eastern Ore gon State hospital, Fairview home and the state penitentiary.
