Walla Walla. Wash, Feb. Goth, 1904.
Board of County Commissioners, Wal
la Walla. Washington.
n:-ReferiIng Ito the resig
nation of Mr. A. A. Hauerbach, county
clerk together with his subsequent
withdrawal of the same and an ap-
parent shortage in his accounts as
such clerk. First am of the opin-
ion that the resignation of Mr. Hauer-
bach when presented to your board
had the effect of creating a vacancy
in the Office without any action of the
board of commissioners looking to the
| formal acceptance or rejection of such
resignation. (Sections 1547-154S,
BallingerS cOde) SecOnd-Under the
|
! if your board has proof that an officer
| has failed to account in a proper man
| ner for public funds in his possession
| as such officer it is the duty of the
board to declare the Office vacant.
! But regardless of the latter point l
| am of the opinion that Mr. Hauer-
bach's resignation vacated the office
! and that it was not within his power
| to recind such resignation by sub
sequent withdrawal.
! Yours very truly.
