Oklahoma county treasurer not liable for predecessor acts ruling
Oklahoma City April 17 The state supreme court ruled a county treasurer is not insurer of county funds or liable for a predecessor's wrongful acts unless his own act directly causes a loss. The court reversed a Pushmataha district court decision allowing $5,000 recovery from W H Jackson, former county treasurer, in a 1922 transfer-shortage suit brought by S B Hackett. The decision aligns with the county depository act and clarifies liability limits for treasurers and bondsmen.
