to the state interest on fundi held
back by Ure after State Treasurer
George Hall had ordered him to pay
over the funds. The state supreme
court this afternoon handed down its
opinion adversely to the state.

not compelled to pay over the inter
est because the state auditor-had not

Dianks to be used.m making remit
tances ana also am not eomn v with
Ure's demand to countersign receipts
issued by the state treasurer.
The court holds, however, that
county treasurers must remit at the
times regularly reauired of tliem bv
the state treasurer and are chargeable
with interest of state funds when they
fail to do so, but the reasons stated
the Douglas county treasurer is not
liable for the interest.
