! ordered paid by the Board of Super,
visors," is protected so far as the is
suance of his warrant upon the Treas
urer is concerned, and when a claim
has been legally examined, allowed
and ordered paid by the Board of Su-
pervisors,' it then becomes the duty
| of the County Auditor to issue a war
| rant on the Treasurer for the payment
| of the same. In other words, the Au-
ditor, in issuing such warrant, does SO
in purely ministerial or clerical cap
acity.
Subdivision 6 of Section 81, Chapter
2 of the County Act, with relation to
the duties of the County Treasurer,
reads as follows:
''Disburse County moneys only on
County Warrants issued by the County
Auditor except on settlement with the
Territory
Unquestionably, the County Treas
urer could not pay to any person any
money except upon the warrant issued
by the County Auditor.
When a warrant is issued upon the
County Treasurer by the County Audi
tor, it then becomes the duty of the
such warrant, and in this behalf it
County Treasurer in paying such war
rant is purely ministerial, the Coun-
ty Treasurer or Auditor not having any
discretion in the premises, such power
being vested in the Board of Super
visors as hereinabove pointed out.
Therefore, it seems to me that the
County Treasurer cannot go behind the
action of the Auditor or the Board of
Supervisors and refuse to- honor a
warrant presented to him which is in
due form, authorized and ordered paid
by the Board of Supervisors
Therefore. when warrant No. SO was
ordered paid to Mr.. johnson, the Coun-
ty Treasurer is protected when such
money is paid to Mr.. Johnson, and
the Treasurer is not authorized or ex-
pected to see to it that each and every
dollar embraced in the amount of the
warrant is properly paid to the per-
sons for whom the warrant is drawn
inasmuch as the warrant is payable to
Mr.. Johnson. If these moneys should
not be properly applied by Mr.. Johnson
to the persons entitled thereto. then !
either against Mr.. Johnson or the Coun-
ty of Oahu for non-payment of the
amounts due them.
In conclusion, 1 canno- see any rea- !
son why the~Treasurer should with
hold the payment of this warrant to
Mr. Johnson. 1 have the honor to be, I
Respectfully yours,
E. A. DOUTHITT.

Mr.. Douthitt was present and stated
hat he wrote the opinion under the
gained from Mr.. Bick-
lell, that the warrant in question had
,een authorized by the Board of Su-
,ervisors for payment to Mr.. Johnson,
Ie to disburse it to the individual en-

reasurer had no right to go behind the

DoUTHITT's OPINION.

Honolulu, August 2, 1905.
Hon. Geo. w. Smith, Chairman Board
of Supervisors, County of Oahu.
Dear Sir: In reply to communication
annexed hereto, handed to me today by
you, I beg to reply as follows:
Section 62, Subdivision 3. Chapter IA
of the County Act, vests the power of
the authorization and expenditure of
County funds in the Board of Super
yisors. and reads as follows:
ITO authorize and supervise the ex-
penditure of all funds belonging to the
County"
The language of this paragraph is
plain. and unquestionably the Board
of Supervisors has the power to direct
how public funds may be expended.
The duties of the County Auditor
with relation to the issuance of Coun-
ty warrants will be found in Section
IS, Chapter is of the County Act, which
Section does not authorize the Auditor
to issue any warrants upon the Treas
urer. unless the claims of the persons
entitled thereto shall be first legally
examined, allowed and ordered paid by
the Board of Supervisors
Right here it may be remarked that
the Board of Supervisors has legally
examined, allowed and ordered paid
warrant Ne. 63 in favor of Mr.. Samuel
Johnson for the sum of S144644. 1t is
plainly apparent that the Auditor could
not issue warrant upon the County
Treasurer. unless in pursuance of ac-
tt9n previously taken by the Board OF
Supervisors with regard to the issu-
ance of such warrant. The Auditor,
when the claim has been allowed and

/ All the supervisors, excepting Arch
er, were present at yesterday after
moons meeting. which was held in the
board rooms at 3 2. m. Chairman
Smith opened the business session by
stating that he had received a COM
munication from the County Treasurer
announcing that he had refused to
able to Samuel Johnson for disburse-
ment to employees of the garbage de-
partment. Chairman Smith also said
that he had obtained an opinion from
the County Attorney on the matter.
The communication and opinion were
read by the clerk as follows:
TRENT's REFUSAL
Honolulu, August 2. 1905.
Mr.. George w Smith, Chairman Board
of Supervisors, County of Oahu.
Dear Sir: There has just been pre-
sented to me Warrant No. 63 for ST.
446.44 payable out of Garbage De-
partnent' to Samuel Johnson.
This seems TO be intended to cover
the pay of some forty men, more or
less. working in the Garbage Depart
ment. Under the law providing for the
payment OF persons having claims
against the County. l do not feel that
/ have authority to pay this total sum
to Mr.. Johnson, and 1 must therefore
respectfully decline to honor this war
rant in its present shape. l am sir,
Your obedient servant,
II RICHARD H. TRENT. !
