referring specifically to all state and
county taxes, provides as follows "All
taxes must be paid in money only, and
no state or county treasurer shall re-
ceive warrants in settlement Of any
| payment due to the state or any coun-
ty," and, in so far as the state and

point completely, and you are, there

warrants of any character in payment

state school and county school tax, both
regular and special
Further as to the question whether
any city warrants, or script, can be
received by you in payment of all or
any part of the city IT,, we beg to
advise y'Du that, owing to the some
what chaotic and uncertain condition
of the ordinances of Salt Lake City

was concerned, to the Hon. William
| Mckay, city attorney of Salt Lake
City, for an opinion on the subject,
and we enclose you herewith his opin-
ion on said subject, holding broadly
that, under the general authority of
law. and by judicial construction, no
claims in favor of the city can be
liquidated by city script, or city war
rants and beg to say that we fully
coincide in said opinion, and we there
/ fore advise you that you cannot legally
/ receive any city warrants, or city
script in payment of any amounts due
on city taxes in your hands for collec-
| ton.
Very respectfully yours,
