D. 1941, at ten o’clock in the forenoon of said day, why you have not done or do not propose to do as hereby commanded.”— Respondent has filed motion to quash in which it is contended that Chapter 16125, Acts of 1933, controls the disposition of the involved fund because Santa Rosa County has now come within the purview of that Act.

The motion to quash is denied on authority of our opinion and judgment in the case of State ex rel. C. A. Blalock, et al., as County Commissioners of Madison County, Florida, *381 v. Lee, as Comptroller, et al., filed this day. Respondent is allowed ten days in which to file return, in default of same being filed within such time peremptory writ will issue.

So ordered.
