DEP0SITING OF COUNTY MONEYS.
Treasurers Can Make Only Special
Deposits.
The Attorney General Declines to Ash
Rehearing of the Oakland
Water Front Case.

The State Board of Examiners held a
meeting at the Capitol last evening, at
which many subjects were discussed in
formally. There were present Governor
Budd and Attorney General Fitzgerald.
Secretary of State Brown being out of
the city.
Attorney General Fitzgerald stated that
he had been asked to give his opinion as
to the legality of County Treasurers de-
posting public moneys ih banks. He
said the question involved was whether a
County Treasurer could deposit county
funds in bank. under the law, and re-
ceive therefor from the bank certificate
of deposit. which under our law Is ne
gotiable.
| He held that while under the law the
Treasurer may deposit county funds with
bank, still the deposit would have to be
a special one, and q special deposit,
within the meaning of the law, Is de-
posit of particular thing. This particu-
lar thing must be returned to the de-
pOsitor.
In other words, the Identical county
money that is deposited with the bank
must be returned to the treasurer.
oAKhAND WATER FRONT.
The matter of the litigation over the
Oakland water front was also discussed.
The Attorney-General said he had been
| asked by the attorneys for the railroad
| company and those representing the city
of Oakland, to join in petition to the
United States,Supreme Court for rehear-
ing Of the case recently dismissed by that
tribunal because OF lack OF jurisdiction.
| This he said he had declined to do be-
cause the court had been asked to decide
as to the ownership Of only portion OF
the property in dispute. If the case in
volved the ownership of all the water
front territory he would consent to ask
for rehearing.
| He also said he had been notified by
the attorneys for the railroad company
that on the 9th of this month they would
| move the United States Supreme Court
| to tax the costs in the case to the State.
| The costs amount to some SS, 900. This
| he said he would oppose, aud would
probably 60 to Washington for that pur-
pose.
MINOR MATTERS.
| During the meeting of the board vari.
Gus other matters were considered and
! discussed. including the rental of rooms
occupied by the Labor Bureau. Yosemite
affairs, etc.
The Attorney General said, in relation
to Notaries Public, that their term OF
office is not for any stated period.
