ANNOTATION

Annotations

Board need not put persons who appear before them under oath. Boards of county commissioners are not courts nor a part of the judicial department, and, unless there is some requirement in the statute to that effect, they are not required to put under oath those who appear before them in hearings. Coates v. Bd. of Comm'rs, 74 Colo. 374, 221 P. 1090 (1923).
