WILL SUE FN-TREASURFRS,
Former County Treasurers Must Repa,
Interest to the State.

Former County Treasurers Must Repay
Interest to the state.
Instructions have been issued by the
encouragement of this state to circuit
court prosecutors in each of the ninety
two counties TO institute suits under a
recent decision of the supreme court
against excounty tressurers and the
Investigations now in progress now JUS
tlty the belief that the aggregate of
these suits will be not less than $1,000
900 and may exceed that figure. The
actions are to be instituted to recover
interest paid by counties to tressurers,
and the investigation extends back "a
period of about ten years.
Taxes levied by the counties are for
special purposes and these particular
funds are kept separate and used only
for the purpose for which the levies are
made. 1t has been the rule, and the
law appears TO require such a construc-
ton. for tressurers to refuse to honor
county warrants when drawn upon q
fund which has been exhausted, and in
that case the county commissioners
have borrowed money from its treasurer
to meet the deficiency till the next levy
could be made.
The result Is thst every county in the
state has been q borrower from it's
treasurer to greater or less amount
and the rate paid on these loans has
usually been 8 per cent. 1t was notori-
Gus in the great majority of cases that
the treasurer did not have money to
loan and II was equally notorious that
he took the money from the special
funds for other purposes and loaned it
TO the county, and thus paid interest
upon its own money.
1t is believed that many commits.
sioners throughout the state. desiring
to favor the treasurers. purposely lev.
led large sums for certain funds and
small sums for other funds, and when
the latter we're exhausted, as reasona-
bic foresight would have shown to be a
certainty, recourse was had to the treas
Grer for loans.
Under the ruling of the supreme
court i will not be q defense to suit
to show that the money belonged to the
treasurer and was not taken from the
county fund, for the court of last re-
sort has declared that the interest may
be recovered even where the money be-
longs to the treasurer. The investiga-
tions now in progress show that every
county has been borrower at one time
or another.

norman and two others were at the
mouth of the tunnel or mine, and de-
termined to lower light fastened to
the END of a rope before going into the
mine themselves. This caused the gas
in the mine to explode with such terrific
force that all three at the mouth of the
mine were badly burned and hurled
several feet away. Walter Zimmerman
was thrown violently against a project
ing rock or something of that character
and lived but three hours after the &C.
cident. His companions faces were
burned, but not seriously.
