General Fund Must Always Be Available For Paying Warrants
A writ of mandamus ordered former Burleigh County treasurer H P Knappen to hand over 401000 in checking funds and 150000 in general fund money from Bank of North Dakota. Knappen appeals. The case mirrors a similar Burleigh dispute over time certificates of deposit used to back warrants. Courts are expected to decide soon, possibly forcing Larson to recover 165000 salted away.
