BEKHT OF COO'Tr ATTOKSEr. To the board of county commissioners of Sioox county, Nebraska. " 'Gbsilemes: By your order of record of April 4th, 1891, 1, as county attorney, lntructed to institute the necessary legal proceedings in the name of Sioux county, to recover from Edmund C. Lockwootl, es county treasurer, Charles C. Jauieou, ex 'lounty clerk, John V. Hunter, ex county 'judge, Edward D. Satterlee, ex county tit torney, George Walker, ex-couuty attorney nd Daniel Klein, Andrew McOiuley ami :Dou M. Weir, ex-eouutv commissioners, the several ums found to be due td the suid county from said parties by A. G. ltrugli, ex 'pert accountant, whose report Is now on file in the clerk's office of said county, provided 'saiff parties should fail to pay said Hums Into the county treasury on or before the 23rd day or Hay, 1891. r'Said parties have failed to make said pay ments by said date, wherefore, after due consideration of said matter, 1 beg leave to submit the following report, towit: 1 That the above named ci-ollicmis have wholly ignored the order made by your lionorabKj body in reference to the payment 'dt said indebtedness. On examination of the records of this said county, I And that certain warrants hav been issued to some of said delinquent parties which have not yet. been paid by said county, and thnt to nearly all of suid parties' Certain claims have been audited nd allowed for which warrants have not been issued and which said claims have not yet been paid by said county. Said claims and warrants being more specifically set out In schedule "A" hereto attached and made a part hereof. In view of the showing made in said schedule I advise you to make an onlcr com manding the county treasurer of said coun ty to suspend payment on each and every warrant named in said schedule to any of said parties, their lioli'sTjr assigns, lor the reason that suid parties, the original owners pf the claims for which said warrants were issued, owe said county certain sums which may be set off against said warrants, and also to make an order cancelling the claluis uamed in said schedule for which no warrants hare been issued, or enough of ; tbenij together with the warrants therein Included, to make an amount equal to the indebtedness of each of suid parties to Haiti county, and credit the sum of such cancelled claims and warrants on the official shortage of the respective parties. J3aid advice is based on the following legal propositions : I Under the most liberal construction of law by any court in the United States in fav or of purchasers of same, county warrant ite declared to be the nou negotiable prom lssory notes of the county issuing them and no more. " II Claims legally allowed arc not of so high a character as warrants, they not be ing authenticated by the county seal. Tin y imply show that a person, company or cor poration has performed certain services or furnished certain niftteriuU at a certain price agreed upon by both patties. The pounty therefore has a legal right to offset what It owes individuals, officers, compa nies or corporations against w hat the same persons or parties owe it. The mere fact that such claims or war rants may have been sold and are now owned by third parties makes no manner of difference, for the county has the same de fense and offsets against such claims or war rants la the hands of third parties that it has against the original owner of same or the person in whose favor the elaiiu was al lowed. If the claims named in the schedule here with should be cancelled by von to pay the several sums which the said parties owe to the county, the purchasers thereof may recover the money paid therefor from the Original owner from whom this claim was purchased, and I consider it best for the county to retain the money it already has and cancel said claims, ralhor than to pay It out and than try to recover it again In reference to claim No. &3 allowed to John W. Hunter and charged to him by A. G. Brugh, I will say that said claim was dis allowed by the district court on appeal in ' 1989, but no record thereof was made by the county clerk on the claim register or claim bill, which no doubt is the reason why the expert charged it. This leaves John W Hunter's shortage t&7.3 instead of 136.15 which the elaima in said schedule in addl tion to Mo. SB will be more than sufficient to pay. The elaima In some cases will be more than sufficient to pay the original owners' In debtedness. In such cases the bolder of the warrant may return the same and have the amount the county holds against it en dorsad om said warrant, and where allowed eiatiM are for more than sufficient to pay the ma owed to the county,. I advise you tomato an order cancelling upon the claim MHwMefc overpays said indebtedness an ao t mfflclent to can eel the same and let tb Ciataa reruaia with the remainder (here b In favor of tha claimant or his asslnee.
