OLYMPIA. May 1S.-While the legis-
lature cannot increase the salary of a
public officer during the term for
which he was elected, it has perfect
right to increase his duties and to
require him to give an additional bond
for the faithful discharge of those
added duties. This is the effect of a de-
cision rendered yesterday by Attorney
General Atkinson in relation to the
Office of county surveyor. The inn
portance of this contract was greatly
increased by the recent legislature.
additional bonds We're prescribed and
the salary considerably increased. All
the new requirements become applic-
able when the law goes into effect on
June II, except the salary increase.
The opinion of the attorney general
is as follows:
wv. H. Reed, ESQ.,, County Surveyor,
Davenport, Wash:
Dear Sir-Your favor of May II re-
received. in which you inquire as to
when chapter 100, laws of 1907, re-
lating to county surveyors will become
effective. The prosecuting attorney is
the legally constituted advisor for all
county officers and l always hesitate

MAY INCREASE DUTIES BUT NOT
SALARIES Of COUNTY SURVEYORS

advising any county officer except up
on request of the prosecuting attorney.
This answer is then to be treated as
unofficial and if the prosecuting attOr-
ney has advised differently it is your
duty to follow his advice.
THE act in question apparently in
creases the duties and responsibility of
county surveyors. 1t has no emergen-
cy clause and becomes a law June IL,
1907
LAS a rule the sureties upon an Off
cial bond can be held liable for the
faithful performance of those duties
only which adhered as mere germane
to the office at the time their under
taking was entered into and not for
other and different reasons added to
the Office after execution of the bond"
I'm order to remove any question 1t
would be advisable to give bond in
the full amount as the new law re-
uuires. upon it's taking effect. The
legislatur has the undOubted right to
increase the duties of county survey
Ors.
1.-THE increase of salary, however,
can not be effective during the terms
of the present incumbents.'
