Responsibilities Of Treasurer May Be Lessened Because of a ruling by the at-' torney general that it is illegal for either a county clerk or a county treasurer to serve as a county purchasing agent the county board finance committee was instructed this morning to make a survey of conditions in Racine county and report at the Nov.

15 meeting. Incompatible, Ruling. The subject was brought up by Dr. "Valter H. rncher, who read a copy of the attorney general's ruling.

County Treasurer John Carls has been serving as purchasing agent The ruling -was that inasmuch as either the county clerk or county treasurer, serving as a purchasing agent, would have to rule bn purchases for his or her partment, it is incompatible forJ either of them-to serve in the dual capacity. Dr. Fancher said the county board has no check on purchases made by the acting purchasing agent. In a discussion which followed, some members of the board recommended that the county go back to its old plan and permit heads of various departments to do their own purchasing. Estimated Cost Others held that a considerable saving can be made by purchasing articles in quantities and that a purchasing agent should be em-' ployed.

It was estimated this would cost $3,000 a year. The finance committee will make a 'survey to determine" how other counties handle their purchases. It was said that in several cases, aV.deputy in the county court is named for this, duty. County Treasurer Paris said after the morning session that he would be glad to relinquish the duties of purchasing agent Value of Old Jail Site Fixed at $28,000 by Special Appraisal Board Value of the old jail site, College avenue and Fifth street" was fixed at. $28,000 by a special appraisal board named by the county board of supervisors.

Report of the appraisers was read'at an adjourned meeting of the county board today when it was decided to offer the site at that price un til Nov. 18. Next meeting of the board will be oh Nov. 15. Reason for naming appraisers was because Walton, Miller, Racine real estate dealer, asked that a price be set as he had a client for the William Toohey and Harold Mann were named on the board.

They said the old jail site is best suited for an oil and greasing station and next as small mercantile, location. They called attention to an' existing city ordinance against licensing of additional gasoline stations within 500 feet of a theater, church, etc. and said this would bar the site from such Mr. Miller was ajked how much he would pay for the site and of- fered $15,000 which was" turned down by the board. It is under stood that his client wanted the site for a branch gasoline- and auto supply station and intended to put up a $30,000 building.

An ordinance fixing interest rae on the million dollar relief bond issue at 2 i per cent was given first reading and will probably be adopted late mum. jtmm kLL Pan features of the program Dn Miller, speaker at the rally i here, is pastor of Trinity Lutheran Reading, one of the largest and ntost influential congregations of the ministerium of Pennsylvania. Since his ordination, he has served two parishes, St. Paul's, Pittsford, N. and Resurrection, Buffalo, N.

Mr. Miller also is-president of the Ministcrium's Board of Home Missions. 000 votes to the 68,000 of his opponent. Rep. Thomas R.

Amlie, was interpreted as a demonstration that the followers of the late U. S. Scn. Robert M. La Follette still are strong within the party he founded despite the ingrafting of new elements.

Although the old line was shown to be still strong in the progressive party, Ekern will need to borrow support from the voters who favored Amlie to meet the challenge of his republican rival, Alexander Wiley, in the Nov. 8 final election. Wiley got 70,000 votes out of a republican poll which was divided among six candidates lor the nomination. The combined poll of his rivals totaled about 140,000 votes. A "Warning to Ekern.

The certainty that some of this support will be shifted to Wiley in the final election is a forewarning to Ekern and the demo cratic incumbent, U. S. Sen. ivcui uuuy inai mey must do a lot of political fence mending before the final election. Friction between the old line progressive and the left wing crowd drew Daniel W.

Hoan, socialist mayor of Milwaukee, into the fray in behalf of Amlie. al though the mayor refused to ac cept the endorsement of the far-! mer-labor-progressive federation to run for the senate nomination himself. Ekern was regarded as the choice of Gov. Philip La Fol-; lette, head of" the Wisconsin pro gressive party, although he did not make any announcement indicating where he stood. He had, however, appointed Ekern as lieutenant governor before opening of the campaign.

Amlie Irked. Amlie's followers were irked by La Follette's refusal to join the federation, and it was believed that they would show their displeasure by voting against Ekern. This constitutes a source of irritation which Ekern must soothe if he hopes to match votes with Wiley in the final election. i Professor Deplores Disunity of Schools MADISON, Sept. 22.

a) Prof. John G. Fawlkes of the University of Wisconsin. School of Education told about 300 educators, attending the state schoolmen's conference that the Wisconsin education program was "deplorable" in its lack of unity. "Instead of cohereat practice for a united educational system extending from kindergarten through the university, we have picked away at this and that until we now have a situation that is deplorably," he said.

"The first object is the erection of approximately 100 churches for mission congre- gations now forced to worship in store rooms, dance halls and 6th- er unattractive and undesirable places. "Failure of the appeal will mean the death of these missions, it is claimed. Lack of funds will result in their disbanding. The appeal seeks to provide funds also lor j.some 200 other rapidly-growing missions which have long since found their present temporary churches too small.

These over crowded mission churches present a picture of crowded aisles and Sunday school rooms that in many' instances made separate sessions necessary with resultant confusion and Inconvenience. Many of the churches I are without the most elementary i equipment necessary to a modern church buildmg. Some are active hazards to th safety of the chll- dren who attend service there.
