was later increased to s41O. It is fur ther alleged that the services re l. dered by said society in caring for children committed to it by the juvenile court were at all times of a reasonable value exceeding the amount appropriated by the board. The excess of expense over the appro- priation was borne by the society out of funds donated to 1t for philan- thropic uses, 1t Is claimed.
 On January r, 1922. the society's claim for such services rendered dur ing the month of December, 1920, was allowed by the board of revenue, l. is set forth, and a warrant for $40 to cover such expenses Issued by the board. On January IS, 1t is allege !, the society demanded payment of she warrant from M. V. Henry, colnty treasurer. and although there are funds in the county treasury lffi- cient to pay same. it is alleged. the treasurer failed without good excuse to pay tho warrant.
 The court is asked to enter a summary Judgment against the treasurer on the claim commanding him forthwith to pay tho money called for in the warrant issued by the board of revenue.
 Refusal of the treasurer to pay tn warrant. 1t Is stated, is based on pe- lief that if honored the amount would be charged to him on his bond in accordance with A ruling of the stats examiners. The board of revenue recently reduced it's appropriation foe the annual maintenance of the juvenile court.
