A sHERIFF's DUTIES.
Attorney General Hahn writes G. NJ.
Nelson, attorney for Mcleod county: 81
think that section IS of the tax law as
amended in 1858 is valid, and the warrant
issued by the clerk in connection with the
positive provisions of this section sufficient
to authorize the sheriff to diStrain when the
tax is not paid on demand. The law itself
commands the sheriff, in failure to pay on
demand, to distrain. The old law required
the county treasurer to do the same. If
the one was good why not the other? The
warrant of the clerk serves the same pur-
pose, apprehend, as did the certificate of
the county auditor to the tax duplicate. 1t
is the official evidence of the existence of
the necessary jurisdictional facts upon
which the authority of the sheriff depends.
Given-A personal property tax delin-
quent on April 1, list OF delinquents in
Guiding the same, made and filed by the
county treasurer with the clerk, the issu-
ance of warrant by the clerk to the sheriff
directing him to proceed to collect the same,
a demand by the sheriff of payment of such
tax and failure to pay on such demand,
and the right as well as the duty of the
sheriff to levy a distress is complete. This
right and duty is not cast upon the sheriff
because Of the amount, but by virtue of the
provisions of the law.
