Syllabus

<p>Duty of Officers who advertise for Bids.—When a County Treasurer is authorized by statute to advertise for bids for the surrender of County bonds, in order that he may redeem them with money in the treasury, he has no authority, in the advertisement, to insert a condition upon which bids will be received, which is not to be implied from the duty to advertise, and which is not necessary to the exercise of his authority; such as that the bonds must accompany the bid; and it is his duty to accept the most favorable bid, even if not accompanied by the bonds.</p>
