SOnoma'S Treasurer Must Look Out
for Those in His Hands.
SANTA ROSA, Jan. .12-Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Butts filed with the Su-
pervisors yesterday a written opinion
defining the powers of the board in re-
gard to taking steps for the future
safety of public money. County Treas
urer Woodward had applied to the
board for relief in the matter, suggest
ing three plans, viz: To hire guards
and keep the money in the county safe
to make arrangements with some
county bank to receive the funds as
special deposits; or to improve the pres
ent vault or build new one that would
afford safe protection for money in the
Treasurer's charge.
The opinion holds that the board has
nc authority either to hire guards or
make arrangements with banking in
stitution. The law is just the same
now" it declares, ''as when the Treas
urer took his oath of office. At that
time he agreed to safely care for funds
intrusted to his keeping, and if guards
are hired or arrangements made with
banks it must be at the Treasurer's ex-
pense and not at the county
Regarding the third plan the District
Attorney says the board has full power
enc, or take any steps the board may
see fit to afford proper protection to the
county's treasure.
