The State ex rel. Gustavus A. Doren v. John F. Oglevee, Auditor of State.
    Application for a mandamus to compel the Auditor of State to issue a warrant on the state treasurer for $3,000, in favor of the institution for feeble-minded youth, on an order drawn by said Doren as its superintendent and financial officer, and approved by a majority of its trustees.
    
      W. J. Gilmore for the relator.
    
      G. K. Nash, attorney general, for the auditor of state.
   By the Court.

The provisions of the first, second and third chapters of the fifth title of the Revised Statutes, aj>ply to the institution for feeble-minded youth; these provisions require the appointment of a financial officer as well as a superintendent; and the same person cannot perform the duties of both offices in drawing money from the treasury under section 654.

Application overruled.
