The P*r-Reichlni Effects at Treasurer Park’s
Celebrated Case.
Atlanta, Ga,, Jttne 18,—The deolsion
of the supreme ooiitt in the mandamna
oase growing outfof the refusal of Treas
urer Park to make temporary uae of the
funds in the state treasury arising from
the sale of publio’ property for tye pur
pose of paying- the school toaohersis
perhaps the moat important and far-
reaohlng rendered by the supreme oourt
in many yean. 1 »d
It means that the teachers of the state
most all wait until next December for
their pay, unless the- state can borrow
the money. If means that the new
olass of widow penslonists, created by
the last legislature, will not get a penny
ot pension money this year. It moans
that the state is confronted by an an
" aotual dofloit of $600,000, whioh amount
is made up of 8800,000 difo the touchers,
1160,000 to $176,000 needed for general
running Expenses, and mbre than $112,-
000 derived from the salebf public prop
erty between 1878 and 1890, which
was expended for general purposes, and
whioh most now be credited to pnbllo
property fund and neonfbd by taxation.
It means, according to the statement ot
oonnael for Ool. Park, that the public
property fand mast be withdrawn from
the state depositories, add the state will
lose the interest, amounting to $8,000 a
year, should this have to be done.
The next legislature will probably be
asked to pass a hill appropriating the
pnbllo property fund to the payment of
interest on bonds, whioh lione way ont
ot the dilemma. If this be done, It is
believed Treasurer Park would refuse to
use the fund in this manner and the
question would again have to go to the
Supreme Court.
A constitutional convention, it is said,
oonld not change the seotlon of the con
stitution in question, because it is a con
tract between tho state and the bond
holders, and suoh a Change would be
against the constitution of the United
8tates.
WILL BORROW $300,000.
Gov. Candler said today he did not
know how he would manage to get
money enough to pay the running ex-
penses of the state. He will have to bor
row $200,000, bnt there is not enough
money now In the treasury to pay the
July interest of $168,000, and part, of the
money borrowed will have to be used
for that purpose.
I cannot tell what I will do," the
governor said, "until I get a statement
as to the condition of the treasury from
the treasurer. I have asked him to give
it to me by Friday. I am In hopes that
I will be able to pay a part of the teach
ers’ salaries, but even that is In doubt.
I have nothing to say about the deolsion,
exoept that the supreme oourt knows
more about It than I do, and that must
be the law.”
The offioials at tho oapltol generally
were dumbfounded over the deolsion.
All, with one or two exceptions, had ex-
peoted the oourt would sustain the at
torney general.
State Sohool Commissioner Glenn says
It is a great blow to the pnbllo sohool
system, and it ie believed some other
plan to provide for the schools will hava
to be made.
