proposition to Attorney General Massey l.. Wilson. This was done and an opin- ion from the latter was given Secretary MoDavid yesterday The opinion. how ever, leaves Secretary McDavid in a httle dubious attitude, as it is mat = ter of Judgment for him after all He Still has the matter under advisement and does not wish to delay acceptance or the bonds as securities until the court gives judgment for or against their validity.
 IT the bond is a valid obligation of the municipality" says the Attorney general. lt is sufficient for the pur- poses indicated regardless of the mar ket value. The mere fact that the mu- inequality denies liability or that liti- Ratlon is pending to test the validity or the bond is insufficient 10 authorize you to declare the bond invalid. You should consider the infrmity charged against it and decide for yourself Whether or not it is valid. If a court or competent Jurisdiction has given Judgment against it's validity, that is another matter. In such d case you should assume that the court has cor rectly decided. Neither do l think the feet that the funds constituting the proceeds of the bond sale having been diverted from their legitimate purpose w uld be q good defense by the city to an action to compel payment of the bond unless the purchaser participated in or is in some way chargeable with such misrepresentation.
 If the statute regulating these asso- cations had specified that the bonds should have d market" value of $l.oOO and not a face" value. of the amount, Secretary of State McDavid says he would have no doubt in the premises.
 There are nine such associations op- erating in Alabama already and should the courts declare the bonds invalid after they were accepted, it is Consid- cred that the people may be done an injustice especially since all nine asso- ciations could purchase the bonds cheaply and substitute them for their present good securities

MUTUAL AID BONDS
\ kNOTTY QUESTION BEFORE SEC.
 RETARY OF STATE.
He is In Doubt Whether to Accept Bridgeport City Bonds ns Se- curity for Indemnity
 to State.

Secretary of State F. R. McDavid is in a legal quandary. He wishes to pro tect the people of Alabama and at the same time not impede the organization of mutual aid associations.
 The last Legislature amended the statute regulating mutual aid and kind red corporations which propose to do business in the State. The statute. as amended. provides that the charters or constitutions of such corporations when filed with the Secretary of State shall be accompanied by cash in the sum of $1,O00, or State. county or mu- nicipal bonds with a total face value of S1,000.
 The filing of these securities is made compulsory in order to furnish an in demnity fund to protect any claims of policy or certificate holders who are members of the mutual aid associa- tionS.
 A few days ago the Secretary of State received copies of charters of the American Mutual Aid Association and the Royal Union Mutual Aid As sociation With the charters and ac Companying papers were enclosed Bridgeport city bonds of the denomi- nation of s1.OOO. These were intended to fulfill the requirements of an in- demnity to policy holders.
 Secretary McDavid Is delaying in ac- cepting these two bonds as valid se- curities. By investigation he has found that these bonds have no market value he alleges. and the validity of them is being tested by the present Mayor Of Bridgeport. The validity is being at tackled on the ground that money ob- tained by the bond issue of s5o,00O by the city of Bridgeport has been divert cd from the specified use. The bonds were issued, il is alleged. for the pur- pose of street improvements, and some of the money Herived therefrom has been used for improving the electric light plant of Bridgeport.
 John B. Weakley, counsel for the two associations, being informed of the position of the Secretary of State in the matter, wrote him to refer the
