Lincoln. Neb.. Dec 11.-An opinion rendered at
tho request Of Governor Holcomb by Attorney Gen.
eral Churchill caused CONSERVATION among incom-
ing State officials to-day 1t is In effect. that the
law passed by the last Legislature. allowing State
county city officers to give bonds furnished by
guarantee companies Is unconstitutional. 1t has
been reported that State Treasurer-eect Meserve
proposed to be prepared for any emergency by
presenting to the Governor two bonds one executed
by guarantee company. and another signed by

porters OF the incoming administration that the
State would have no right to pay the fee demand
cd by guarantee companies In such cases. and that

State. though admitting that there are elements OF
doubt In the question.
