(% f Will Lei Contracts For Food Supplies Let Contract Despite Rejection By Board IN DI A NAPOLIS (I,N S) —Director j William E. ClaAtson of the dfcpart- , inent of public works and supply announced today that contracts will be let Tuesday for $139,000 worth of state institution food supplies. He added that the action would ■ be taken despite the refusal of the state board of finance to provide the funds. Governor George N. : Craig, a finance board member, attempted to transfer the_neeesSary money to ClarksophTrevolving fund to effect a purported saving of $20,700, but the other two board members, state treasurer John' Peters and state auditor Curtis E. I Rardin. refused to approve it. Clarkson said, however, that the food purchases could be financed through requisitions from the Central and Logansport state hospitals, which would involve much bookj keeping. The governor and Peters dashed I sharply at the meeting. Peters said: I "We set a precedent by which : the surplus in every fund could be transferred just before the end of , : the fiscal year. This is a dangerous j | thing and It permits the executive branch of government to invade i the legislative branch.” Craig interrupted, saying: “You are making a Fourth of July speech. John. You came here to make a political speech. You are here for political reasons. I : declare you out of order. I will ' not waste my time with such j monkeyshines and listening to such 1 poppycock. You are not blessed with a conscientious desire to serve i the public. You are engaged in political chicanery for the purpose jof running up the state's food i costs.” Peters said he was irked at the manner in which the governor put the question to him and Rarditi, sayipg: t 'T felt like I was being led to the slaughter. There was no .ex-, cuse for the "Way he handled us. in effect, he backed us up against the wal land used a whip. | “If we can transfer $200,000 as ' Craig says we can. then we can transfer $2 million or any other amount and there will be no need Tor the legislature to appropriate j funds for state departments.”
