OFFICIAL GIVES OPINION ON ING SECURITY HAVE NO PREFERENCE ———— —Where counties have deposits in | closed banks, and such deposits are not fully covered by bond or securities, the ‘counties must be considered as general creditors; as there is no statute in Florida giv- ing a preferenéé to state, counties or municipalities, in the opinion of Attorney General J. B. Johnson. Mr. Johnsoh’s opinion was given to. Ernest comptroller, in reply to a from the latier that, owing to the closing of sev- eral banks designated as county depositories, the question had arisen as to the status of those county fuhds in such banks which were over thé amounts covered by securities, or surety bonds. “To illustrate the point I am making.” Mr. A wrote, “say | for instance a county has $50,000 of county funds secured by bond | the county, fepresented by “he board of county commissioners, is 'a common creditor along with other creditors, as to the amount lover and above’that which is se- eured. This is an important ques- | tion just now, because a number of the banks will be able to reopen | if they get the co-operation of the | depositors to freeze, or tie up a | poriion of their deposits for a ' specified time, which is necessary, of course in each case.” The attorney general's opinion | follows: | ‘The lew provides that county commissioners shall take bond or \ other securities for the protection | of county deposiis. The county de- deposits are then protected to the. j amount of the bond or securities taken.
