PRICE FIVE CENTS APPRAISE ESTATE | Comptroller Opposes Any Transfer Of Funds To Pay State's Operating Expenses All Funds Will Be Used For Purpose As Was In-| tended By Legislative, Action (Speeint to The Citizen) TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 1.—Into the tempest created by the gover- mor’s suggestion that State oper- ating expenses be paid by trans- ferring funds—including transfers from such funds as the Confed- #rate pension fund—State Comp- troller J. M. Lee hurled a bomb of under, special funds, that seems to some- what clarify the situation. @ssurance to beneficiaries “There will be no diversion of moneys from those for whose benefit the legislature levied the. taxes,” the comptroller stated in unequivocable language. “When taxpayers are asked to pay taxes fora specific purpose, it is my constitutional duty as comptroller to see that the funds go to that purpose. And if the legislature does not levy the taxes to take care of certain functions of the state government, it is not our duty to take the money from spe- cial funds to do what the _legis- declined to do, ‘is just ad improper’ "to “at vert funds raised for Confederate, pensions as it is to divert funds raised for road building. I have previously made my position clear on this latter diversion and I want it distinctly understood that as far as it is in my power | prevent same, there will be no di- version of pension funds—either Confederate or old age assist- ance, nor teachers’ salary moneys. “If salaries of state officials can’t be paid, we can wait until! the legislature provides a way— and that goes for my salary as) well as the others. “To sum it up simply and inj; very plain language, I _ will not} approve aiy transfers that divert’ any moneys needed to carry out the purposes for which the taney were levied.” “To insure availability of these’ 7 special funds when needed, not! ever temporary loans will be ap- | proved by me except upon resolu- tions that provide for automatic} repayment from assured income; that is to be available before pet elal funds need the money. There will be no raids upon special funds} for the benefit of the general fund unless I am required to on them by the Supreme Court of our State.” BELGIUM TO GUARD COLD REINFORCED CONCRETE ‘UN. | DERGROUND STRONG ROOMS t ARE BEING BUILT | i) | {By Axsocinted Press) BRUSSELS, Nov. 1.—Rein- forced concrete underground strongrooms, capable of resisting! 200-pound bombs dropped. from! 6,000 feet, are being built at Os-| tend for the Belgian National Bank.
