fully the County Judge whether in the exercise of his
discretion he allows twenty-five per cent of the gross
amount of Foreign Miners Licenses collected in this county
the Deputy Sheriff engaged in its collection !and if so
why he exercises liberal discretion Is the county, or
is it not divided into two three collection districts !-and
how much per month has there been collected in each
