as the case may be, in the same manner, with likeeffeci.,
and by the ~ame officers as in the case of general elections~
The Legislature authorized the items of expense men­
tioned to be incurred in the conduct of primary elections;.
it directed that they should be paid in the same manner
as expenses of general elections are paid; the manner of
paying the expenses of general elections has been settled
and uniformly followed for years.; the Legislature is pre­
sumed to have had knowledge of this practice and, there­
fore, dire~ted that the expenses authorized to be incurred
under the primary election law should be paid in the
. same manner as you pay the expenses of general elections.
The conclusion necessarily is that you should pay such
expenses in the same manner as y"ou pay the expenses of
general elections.
Respectfully submitted,

The St,atute upon the SUbje,d is Section 705, Q~,,the ,Gen,-'
eral Statutes, and theportiqn thereof which ~ppljes to
this matter is as follows:
"When the officer, ordering the court; or the officer, com"
manding for the time being, approves a selltence of ~
, court-martial imposing a fine on an offender, said offep,der
'shall have a period of ten days from the publicatioIl o.f
the findings and "sentence of said' court-martial ~nd the.
approYal thereof by such officer, wIthin which to pay such
fine to his immediate commanding officer, who shaJl at
once remit the amount of said fine to the State Treasurer' '
to be cr'edited to the fund from which the contingent ex:­
penses of the Adjutant-General's office are paid, by what­
ever name such fund may be known and designated."
