Mr. C. B. Prorin.
City Treasurer,
Beit, Montai
Itasr Sir:
In accordance with your vorbei re
quest for an opinion relative to dis
posal of funds on band to the 191«
Special Sidewalk and Curb Fund,
please s|k>w me to submit the follow
rag
Am J understand it there are six
teen warrante, each for a thousand
dollars, coming due on January 1,
1926, representing the indebtedness
ipenrred because of the sidewalk and
curb construction of 191«, Special
assessments have been properly levied
against the property Involved and
payments on these assessments have
permitted the payment of all interest
■on the warrants to date, with an es
timated amount on hand on January
1, 1926, sufficient to pay interest due
da that date and at least two of the
warrants.
i
I find that by the provisions of
Section 6249, Revised Codes of Mon
tana, 1921, you should pay out ot
fluids on hand on January 1, 1826, in
terest on the tqtol warrant indebted
ness of «16,990.00. The balance of
funds in this 1916 Special Sidewalk
and Curb Fond should be applied to
retire as many aa possible of out
standing warranto, in the order of
their registration with you. 1 sug
gest that if yon have a surplus after
paying a certain number of these
warranto (any two, aa you suggested
that this would perhaps be
that you offer tor apply such
on the next registered
dollar warrant It would
from what I say hereafter that the
holder of■ sorti warrant would be will
ing to swept part payment, without
»
pndndidnf Us righto as to the col
ivction of the balance, of course, and
thm enable the City to save the dif
ference
the two ftnd
par oeat interest received on
your hands and the six per cent re
quired to be paid by tim lams at «be
warrant. Or rather in this case, the
saving will be to the 1916 fund, as 1
to
am of the opinion that the city to not
liable on these warrants.
The proceedings resulting in tads
issue of warrants
to be based
on tiie authority at Section 6244,'
Codes of 1921, tibia section being a
part of the act covering this matter
enacted by tiie legislature in 1818.
By this act (see Code 5247) Special
assessments as made in this case (by
Resolution No. 60, City of Belt), con
stitute a lien upon the property upon
time ago I went into the matter of |
the personal liability of property
which the assessments to made. Some
for these assessments, bst«!
convinced that the rttg could j
do nothing along this line, fids
the opinion also of Mr. Frank Woody, f
tax expert and attorney tor the
tana Taypayer* Aiutociaticm. Be
