Thus, the case la sintilar that suggested for Lake county aad that is wliy Mr. eaubien urged Lake county to wait on the C'ôok county eWson. He predicted that an appeal Sould becniade to i Supreme court there because of\ the conffiet of' the law d both sides wish a final decision on the imiportant ques- SAttocney Beaubien f cit Lake county sliould not incuri ke ese of a separate silit, seeing the sanie points werei ý ini Chiicago. And, it proyed later that the rnajority of ie board )ncmbers feit the sâme about it. Other Watch the case. Mr. Beaubien feit that other states are watclihîg this1 hic'ago case, that every treasurer in Illinois is watching it pM that therefore, there see no real reason why Lake qÙnty should assume the initiative until Cook couty lias kiuied îts-action. , 8 upervisor Èrooks later made the point that Lake ý>ty wouId not be any more likely to get quieker action 4n Cook county, therefore lie could sec no reason to start W'o suite of the same kind as botli would likely be appealedl U. r. Beaubien poipted to the facts that the Lake countY liard, by its action a few years ago, .establied a prece- Làtt when it voluntarily returned to County Clerk Hendee V which tlie board feit lie was personal1y entitled to, but kew yeaks later, Mr'. Hende feturned it to the couînty . gan. HoWever, lie feit that this indecision indieates the ýàertaînty of the statutes in the m atter. I.le sliowed how the law was enaQted in 1895 on the in, Mitance tax matter and re-enacted in 1906 witli the lause a which Westerfield bases bis dlaims, unchangcd and tl Mes the interpretatioxi of that clause whicli caused the ord ta return said money to Mr. IIendee. "ortwenty years Lake oounty lias permitted its muesto retain the inm riauce tax fees, this being upnd4er the statutes which 1 have read. i*"vEery aet on the statutes is presumed to be valid un- e it lIAs been proved unconstitutional," lie contimued. H uey oR Sand. S"Under that law, Mr. Westerfield bhs retained as hie, ba htan * tax fées and the int6rest on funê B, e was t ,v t as bis money hy lte fact tliat former treas- lie, p t it and by thte fact that the couxty boards per- thmto retain sucit moneys. BUT, lie's got the 01YMn a fund-lie lasn't spent it. He's kept it entact, 4 bat if this question is deeîde against him, lie will be »eta, turn that money over to the countv forthwith. Ile M4n'wspnd it, s0 that in case the decision sliould lie àâhnlpx. btis i bondsmen would have been liable; lie Mr'twant ta, stick bis bondsmen-lie bas protected thèm >f keeping thesè funds Intact. That dôesn't show any in- Ention of wrong doing, does it'?
