Battenberg Salary Limited To $2,400
Oklahoma City July Pi James P Battenberg assistant to the state bank commissioner in charge of securities is entitled to a salary of 2400 a year as set up by statute rather than 3000 as provided in the general departmental appropriation Attorney General Williamson ruled today. Other opinions held: monies in a county general fund cannot legally be transferred to the county highway fund. County commissioners may spend money from a county highway fund to construct buildings to house road machinery equipment and materials. The board of affairs is the purchasing agent for the state board of education. A licensed cosmetologist may cut hair without obtaining a hair cutting permit from the state board of barber examiners.
