Syllabus

<p>Counties. Treasurer held not entitled to commissions where there is a county depository.</p> <p>Under our statutes the county treasurer in a county where there is a county depository receives for his salary a fixed compensation; and, though the appointment of the county depository be irregular or defective, nevertheless, if it qualifies by depositing with the county treasurer the statutory securities, receives a commission, and handles all public funds of the county, the treasurer cannot claim for his compensation the statutory commissions allowed to a county treasurer on public funds where there is no county depository, especially after the treasurer has officially recognized and acquiesced in the appointment of such depository.</p>
