Opinion No. 41-3897
September 12, 1941
TO: Mr. Scott H. Mabry Assistant District Attorney Albuquerque, New Mexico
{*97} By your letter dated September 11, 1941, you have requested an opinion of this office as to whether or not Chapter 145, Laws of 1941, relating to the bonding of warehouses issuing negotiable warehouse receipts for agricultural products must file a bond in each and every county in which a warehouse is located.
The law does not specifically answer the foregoing question. However, from a careful reading of this act it would appear that the legislative intention was to require a bond to be filed in every county in which a warehouse was located.
In view of the foregoing obvious intention, it is my opinion that warehouse companies issuing negotiable warehouse receipts for agricultural products must file a bond in each county in which a warehouse is located.
