COURT IS ASKED TO DECIDE TAX DEPOSIT TANGLE Opinion of Court Sought on Who is Responsible for $23,000 in Tax v Funds. The Rutherford county superior court, now in session, will likely de cide who is responsible for $23,000 of Rutherford couhty's tax money. A meeting of attorneys was held Saturday morning and certain issues were agreed upon, which will be sub- mitted to the court for an opinion. The facts in the case are briefly this: Sheriff Hardin had collected $30,000 in tax money. He checked $23,000 oyer county treasurer, Mrs. Minnie Blafeton. The check was on the Forest City bank and before the check was cleared throjugh Charlotte and Rutherfordton and credited to» the county treasurer, both Rutherfordton and Forest City banks had failed. An interesting point of law is at stake. If the sheriff or treasurer is responsible, their bondsmen will pay. Both de funct banks were county deposi tories. If the banks are responsi ble, which one? Did the banks fur nish the commissioners surety bonds sufficient in amount to protect the county funds or will the county share in the winding Jfup of the bank affairs with other depositors?
