of Rock Island under which the city
schools were organized specifies, in rela-
lation to the school tax that 1.-THE tax so
levied by the said board of education,
shall be assessed and collected in the
same manner and at the same time and
by the same officers as state taxes are
assessed and collected within the limits of
said district, and the proceeds paid to the
treasurer of said board of education,
after deducting therefrom one-half the
per centage allowed for assessing and COL
Letting state taxes"
The question under consideration
of the board of education is
whether the general law of
the state allowing two per cent to the
collector, woulu take precedence to
this. 1t was on this point that Supt.
Kembe wrote Attorney General Hunt,
whose answer was that, in his opinion
one per cent was all the collector could
claim. In other words, the attorney gen.
eral sustains the school charter, his opine
ion being that the conflicting circumstan-
ces do not invalidate the school charter
of Rock Island. 1t has been the custom
of the town collector for the past thirty
years, to claim his fees under the gener>
al law, which, if the attorney generals
opinion holds, is illegal. 1t is now
matter for the board of education to dis
cuss, as to whether the collectors serving
within the time mentioned can be held
for the one per cent difference, which is
like $3.50 per annum. The
board will likely act upon this further at
its next session.
