The points raised were Whether the existing laws of the District authorize the controller to draw his warrant on the treasury for this latter amount, ($15,972.15) dif authorized to draw his warrant, whether e charge is to be made against the school fund | this or the succeeding fiscal year, in antici- pation of the revenues for the schoo! fund for the fiscal year ending -Fune 30, 1573.” The attorney is of opinion that under the acts pres ertbing the duties of the officers, which pro- S for their payment monthiy, and prohibits payment in whole or in part unless their adnties shall be actually performed, and unler the provision requiring al! schoo! accounts to be settled after the expiration of each month, the controller cannot draw a warrant for the sala- ties due them in July and August.

As respects its tinances whether in relation to amount, collection or payment, he holds that the present government }s entirely distinct from the old corporations and the high- est court of the District has so determined. The government has therefore adopted the system of monthly payments. Advance pay- ments or payments in the nature of advances, or by anticipation have not been author- ized or sanctioned by legislative enactments for any class of officers, employes, or laborers. He closes by saying ‘‘it has been suggested that the conclusion arrived at will be bardon the officers, employes, and teachers. But the sug- gested hardships capnot furnish a rule of legui construction. The law-making power alone can correct the evil, if any, of legislation alleged to be wrong or op ive.” The first question of the acting controller having been answered in the negative, an answer to the second he says is unneccpeary. It may allay uneasiness in the minds of those interested to add that this opinion only affects the payment of the salaries imadvance. At the termination of this month and of August, on the presentation of the pay- rolls, properly approved, the requisitions of the treasurer ot the public schools will be duly honored.
