ANDERSON, J.

Section 211 of the Code of 1907, in declaring the duties of a county treasurer, among other things, says: “It is the duty of the county treasurer— (1) To receive and keep the money of the county and to disburse the same according to law.” This is an imperative and nondelegable duty, and any breach of same is a violation of law. — Section 7485 of the Code of 1907.
