County Boards Must be Commissioned.

COLUMBIA, June q. 9.-Attorncy Genera !
Bcllingcr has rendered an opinion which
is of far-rcaching importance TO The
appointment Of members Of County
boards Of Control Of diSpcnsarics The
question came before him through the
matter being submitted to him as to the
right Of the State Board Of Directors to
make changes in the County Board Of
Bamhcrg as recommended by the Scna-
tor from that county and delegation.
In reviewing at some length the law and
statutes incident to the particular case
the Attorney General draws the COnclu-
sion that no board is legally appointed
unless the members have a commission
from the Governor. 1t has not been Gus
tOmary heretofore for County Boards to
receive such commissions and according
to the opinion all must receive sue, com
missions to make their acts legal The
state Board Of Control did not act ON
the matter, but it will be brought up at
the meeting next Wednesday.
