<p>'■Duty of county auditor to certify moneys into treasury — Section 2567, General Code — Auditor not to designate fund to which moneys belong — When moneys belong to no fund — County commissioners to direct the fund.</p> <p>1. By the provisions of Section 2S67, General Code, it is the duty of the county auditor to certify into the county treasury all moneys except moneys collected on the tax duplicate, to the credit of the fund to which it belongs.</p> <p>2. This section . of the General Code does not clothe the county auditor with any authority or discretion to designate the fund to which it shall be credited, but it must be credited by him to the fund in which it legally belongs. His duties in this respect are ministerial only.</p> <p>3. Where funds reach a county treasurer, either by gift or otherwise, that belong to no particular fund, or where there is nothing whatever to show in which fund the money belongs, the board of county commissioners has authority to determine and direct the fund to which such moneys shall be credited.</p>
