Hon. w. A. Blount positively states
that, under the law, the county

Pensacola, Fla, May 81, 1910.
''Messrs Blount e. Blount & Carter,
City.
"Gentlemen-In my address to the
voters of Escambia county / have
said that If l am elected county
treasurer / will deposit the funds of
the county with the bank that, after
advertisement, will pay the highest
rate of interest on the deposit, and
that I propose to turn over the inter
est to the School Fund.
my opponent, Mr.. J. Ed. Williams,
In an address which he has publish
ed, says that no county treasurer of
any county in the state of Florida,
,1nder the present law, has the power
of authority to demand or collect in
terest for the county ON county
funds

ION upon the question as to whether

Dear Strive have your letter of
this date.
In our opinion, the county treas
urer, having given bond for the safe
keeping of the county money coming
into his hands and for its legal dis
bursement, is authorized to deposit
1t with such bank and upon such
terms as he sees fit. He clearly has
the right to deposit it without ex-
acting interest, and If so, he has the
right to exact interest for its use,
by the bank. What he may do with
the interest does not in anywise af-
feet his right to require it. In our
opinion, he has the right to select
the bank paying the highest rate of
