Writs in the mandamus suits brought by Green Lane borough and Ambler independent school districts of this county to compell full payment of the school fund were returnable Monday in the Dauphin County Court, but by request of Attorney General ELKIN they were continued ten days, on account of State Treasurer BARNETT's absence in Florida. These are the first of the many suits in the Dauphin County Court the veto defenders have not compromised before the writs were returnable by paying the districts more than their share of the appropriation for the current year on the basis of $5,500.000, and the docket costs, amounting to $7.25 in each case.
