The opinion

Chapman, J.

This case is before the Court on writ of error to review a final judgment of the Circuit Court of Leon County, Florida. It appears from the record that the plaintiff below was the owner of designated and matured interest coupons issued by the Northeast Tampa Special Road and Bridge District No. 6 of Hillsborough County, Florida, and that the Board of Administration of the State of Florida had in its hands and to the credit of the interest and sinking fund account of the district certain gasoline tax money.

The lower court concluded that the funds of the district on deposit with the Board of Administration of the State of Florida could and should be, as a matter of law, applied to the payment of the matured interest coupons on the unrefunded bonds of said district.
