Now. can prove that there was Tavern IL
cense issued without the receipt of the Treasurer
q do not speak of Pedars licenses because it can
be proved by the books that there were several,
one, by the by, for mouths for sore eg,l while
the price of the license is dollars and one dollar
for the Clerks fee but the Treasurer being on the
lookout, it could not pass) 1t can be proved, /
said that Tavern license was issued on the
District Attorney receipt, dated in December last
which amount is not yet paid into the Treasury,
and the Clerk told of it. and still he did

George Brown and Sebastian Freys, having
complied srth the tGtc regulating licenses are author
sed TO keep Tavern in the town of Mineral
Point, in the County of Iowa and State of Wis

What authority has any other person than the
Treasurer, deputy appointed by him, and the
Collector of Taxes, 10 receive moneys belonging
TO the County? do not know of any, unless il
be the following order, which they must have

Shall appear his books as debtors TO the county
of Iowa. together with the several amounts of their
respective Indebtedness and it shall be the duty
OF the District Attorney to proceed without delay
to procure such Indebtedness to be settled immedi-
atey and satisfactorily Nth the Treasurer and in
default thereof, the said District Attorney is or
dered and directed to proceed immediately and
enforce the settlement and payment eff such in
debtedness, by due course of law" See min book
Does this ordinance give such authority? lift
does IS 1t not IN contradiction with the statute
which says " 1t shall be the duty of the Treasurer
to receive all moneys due and accruing to the
county, to pay and dsburse the same, &c. p. 81.
Further I" All county taxes arising from Tavern
licenses otherwise, shall be paid into the Coun-
ty Treasury &c. p. 90, And furthermore, in the
