Dawes Opinion Forbids Paying Personal Expenses From State Funds
Attorney General Dawes states the governor cannot pay private secretary and stenographers from the state treasury. Vouchers for December 1884 to January 1885 were improper as the workers were not state employees then, and salaries must be paid from funds for specific purposes or the governor’s contingent fund only for official duties. The ruling reinforces that public funds cover state services, not personal expenses. The note ends with an advertisement for Dr Price's Baking Powder.
