OPINION 49-29 September 23, 1949 (OPINION) COUNTIES RE: Club Work Re: Chapter 2, S.L.1949 Yours re payment of appropriation made by Chapter 2 S.L. 1949 for boys' and girls' club work for Sioux County, addressed to the attorney general, has come to my desk for reply. It appears that Irvin D. Morrison, County Agent for Grant County, serves as part time county agent for Sioux County. He has made application for payment of the $200.00 appropriation for Sioux County for payment of premiums for boys and girls club work in Sioux County. It further appears that Sioux County is to participate with Grant County in an Achievement Day to be held at Carson. You ask whether or not payment for Sioux County club work may be made under these conditions. It is our opinion that the Legislature intended a $200.00 payment to each county for club work, and that two or more counties may join in the so-called "Achievement Day." But, of course, the money granted to each county could be used only for premiums to club members of such county. Here, the money granted to Sioux County could be used only for payment of premiums to Sioux County club members. Any sum not used for such purpose should be returned to the State, since each county gets only $200.00 or such part thereof as may be necessary for payment of premiums in that county. WALLACE E. WARNER Attorney General
