     241.13 Contingent account; damage deposits; correctional 
  institutions. 


    Subdivision 1.    Contingent account.  The commissioner 
 of corrections may permit a contingent account to remain in the 
 hands of the accounting officer of any such institution from 
 which expenditures may be made in case of actual emergency 
 requiring immediate payment to prevent loss or danger to the 
 institution or its inmates and for the purpose of paying 
 freight, purchasing produce, livestock and other commodities 
 requiring a cash settlement, and for the purpose of discounting 
 bills incurred, but in all cases subject to revision by the 
 commissioner of corrections.  An itemized statement of every 
 expenditure made during the month from such account shall be 
 submitted to the commissioner under rules established by the 
 commissioner.  If necessary, the commissioner shall make proper 
 requisition upon the commissioner of finance for a warrant to 
 secure the contingent account for each institution. 


    Subd. 2.    Damage deposits.  The commissioner of 
 corrections shall collect a damage deposit from all staff who 
 reside in housing on the grounds of the Thistledew Corrections 
 Camp at Togo, Minnesota and deposit the moneys in a savings 
 account in a bank at interest.  Withdrawals therefrom may be 
 made to defray the cost of any damage to the residence caused by 
 the tenant or to return the deposit to the tenant with accrued 
 interest if the residence is vacated without damage.  The 
 commissioner shall keep accurate records in the name of each 
 tenant so that the interest may be credited to the proper 
 account.
