Trustee Cannot Chance Depostory After It Has Been Contracted.

Thomas M. Honan, attorney general, Wednesday gave an opinion to JV. H. O’Brien, auditor of state, in which he declared that funds previously con-tracted-for and deposited in one bank by township authorities may not be transferred to another bank situated within the township, although the tirat depository is outside the township. The case arose because a new bank being formed at Seward, Ind., wished funds of Seward township now in the Farmers Bank of Mentone, Ind. In an opinion to Guy H. Humphries, president of the Indiana Boys' School, Mr. Honan held that contracts for the construction of new boilers, stokers and for other needed repairs at the school could be awarded now, though the money appropriated by the 1911 legislature for such repairs will not becomir available until 1912. In a former opinion Mr. Honan had held that If a company could be found to taka such a contract It would be legal. The latter opinion will involve the payment bf 18.973 to the Chandler A Taylor Company or its assignee.
