PECULIAR INTERPRETATION

The attorney general of the terri
tors has given a peculiar interpre'a'
ton of the laws relating to the bond
ing Of county treasurers The last
legislature passed a law which re,
uuirea county treaSurers 10 give n
bond Of twenty-five per cent OF tn"
none handled during II year, and
~treasurer's were required TO give a
surety bond AZ only a small amount
Of the money handled during the
yeag lin In the hands ~ the treasurer
at one time. IL was felt that the old
law requiring the 'treasurers to give
IA bond amounting to twice the sum
of money handled during a year was
severe.
Under the old Law. however. IA per
snnal bond, only, was required. me
ATTORNEY general holds that the old
law requiring IA bond in twice tn"
sum Of money handled Is still in
force. aud under the new law he
holds tina, surely bonds must be Civ
en-.
This mean that the treasurer ol
San Miguel county must pay $4m for
his bond, whereas If he were requir
al TO give bond only for the amount
Of twenty-five per cent OF the money
handled, the cost would mount only
IN about $50. II he gives bond az re
auired by the old law and surety IN
the manner therein provided. he need
he AT no cost as he could give a per
sonai bond.
Attorneys generally say that II thu
