boards Of supervisors are not empow-
cred to designate private banks AZ de-
positories for county funds, and that
the failure Of the bank would make
the sureties on the bond Of the coun-
ty treasurer liable In event Of loss
of the funds.
In another opinion II Is held that
officers Of one county may not arrest
and prosecute q person released ON
probation In another county. The
encouragement points out that II
this action could be taken 1t would
nullify the action Of the court In re-
leasing q man on probation. The
prosecuting attorney Of Allegan coun-
". who asked for the opinion, Ia d.
rected that SO long as the Ottawa
county court allows the probation
order to stand against man wanted
in Allegan, officers of the latter coun-
ty may not interfere.
Answering another question, the
encouragement holds that nomina-
items for the ONCE OF school commits
