Then early in December tho attorney general renderod. nn opinion mnnt nnil tlin nnannlnMnn wnn vnM and unwarranted. As thoro nro no woutstnnding in tho hands of private holders certif icates to tho amount of $21,453 nnd as thoy roproBent work and material actually furnished to tho reclamation eorvlco, tho nocrotary of the interior asked tho comptroller, in view of tho nttornoy general's opinion, how ho could discharge tho obligations, Bay ing that thoro was now in tho recla mation troasury onough monoy to pay in cash. Tho comptroller, in, his doclBlon, says that payments should bo made to tho persons who actually did tho work and that tho more fact that a person may hold a certlflcato gives no right to tho payment to him of tho amount stated on its faco. "Tho cortiflcatos," ho said, "woro intended to bo suflfclont ovldonco that tho hol der had to porform tho sorvlco, or had paid someono olso to porform it, or had paid tho original holdor of oucii certificates its valuo. AVhoro tho certificates do not show on their face that they have boon assigned they would bo prime facie evidence that the holder performed tho servico or paid someone, olso to porform it for him. Tho holdor of an unassigned certificate should therefore bo pre sumed to have performed tho servico and the presentation of this certlfl cato would bo sufficient evidence of this fact nnd would ontitle him to payment, Whoro tho certificates ap pear to havo beon assigned the holder by assignment would not bo entitled to payment. In such cases tho pay mont, if any, should be made to tho person to whom the certificates was originally issued. "No duty devolves upon tho recla mation sorvJco to seo that tho asso ciation makes any paymonts to any person who performed work or holds certificates. It Is the duty of the ser vico to pay the porson who perform ed tho sorvlco, or procured its per formance, regardless of who Is now the holder of fho certificates Issued, and leave the parties to work out their cquitioe and legal rights among themselves.
