No. 5799. ORDER FOR CONI'+,ISSIONER L. M. GUTHRIE TO RE~UALIFY.
This the 12th day of November, A. D. 1952, came on to be presented to the court by James
F.. Nugent, County Attorney, his oral opinion requesting the Commissioners Court to have L.
M. Guthrie requalify by taking an additional oath of office as County Commissioner and road
supervisor, for the unexpired term ending December 31, 1952. Mr. Nugent represented to the
court that order No. 5691 entered in the Commissioner's Court Minutes on August 7, 1952, appoint
ing Commissioner Guthrie for the unexpired term ending December 31st, 1952, was insufficient
qualification since the canvass of the general election, November 4th, 1952, and that he
thought Commissioner Guthrie should be requalified by taking additional oath of office and
by attaching his new oath to the official bond with the',9estern Surety Company of Dallas, in
the amount of N1,000.00 and x`3,000.00 respectively and that same should be re-filed and re-
recorded in the official bond records of the County Clerks office.
?Nherefore the court is not in co;nplete accord with the County Attorney, but feels that if
Commissioner Guthrie requalified by taking his official oath of office, would in no way affect
the validity in one way or another and that they should direct the County Clerk to requalify
Commissioner ruthrie and attach his official oath to the original Surety Pond of said Comm-
issioner, and re-file and re-record said hoed and oath in the official bond records of his
office. Therefore by motion duly made by Goff, seconded by ivlolter and unanimously approved
by the court that the County Clerk be and is hereby directed to requalify Commissioner Guthrie
I^'' .
by taking his official oath of office and attach same to his original surety bond and re-Pile
and re-record said bond and additional oath in the official bond records of his office.
