July Meeting of Commissioners of Stevens
County.
CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK.
Opinion of the County Attorney as
to sheritls fees and mileage in the case
OF personal property tax uncollected
by him when the sheriff has made an
effort to collect the same and failed to
find the parties.
To the Hon. BOARD of Commissioners.
Gentlemen: l shall follow the
opinion of the Atty. Gcnl. on the sub
iect of sheritfs fees on uucollected per-
sonal property tax warrants.
| find in the Pioneer Press Of July
9th 1885 a note stating that officer had
decided that no fees could be allowed
on unsolicited tax warrants.
The ground of his opinion seems to
be that no provision Is made i'll the
law for such fees and without which
none can be allowed. This Is correct
for the commissioners cannot allow
fees to an officer when none are al
lowed By law. 1t is undoubtedly a
hardship to the sheriff to drive over
the country in search ofsome one who
does not reside there and get nothing
for it but the defect is i'll the law and
can only be remedied by the law
making power.
Respectfully,
G. l.. BROWN

ION the following bills were not al
