The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1908-04-17

There was some unavoidable delay in per-
fecting his Bond OF office until which time the
| funds could not be turned over to him and he
| could not act as Treasurer, but he was the duly
! elected Treasurer for the year. Until the bond
| was approved, the old Treasurer continues to
act as such, which ordinarily would be but a
| short time. If this time had been but a few
| days or aweek or few weeks, no one would
| claim IL would decrease his annual salary. My
opinion is 1t Is the duty OF the Treasurer TO act
| until his successor qualities which is his term
! OF once Tor the salary paid him. But whether
| that De so or not, he would not be entitled to
more than pay for the actual services perform.
| ed by him while holding over and that should
| not reduce his successors annual salary for the
| year as fixed by the Council, and my opinion is
and acts as treasurer for the year
Is entitled to his full salary for the year.
