COUNTY BUSINESS LICENSES.
Will it be Possible to Retain a Special
Collector?
A Ruling Of the Supreme Court That
May Mean a Heavy Loss to
the County.

There is danger that the county may
Lose many thousands of dollars year
by recent ruling Of the Supreme Court
in an Alameda case affecting county Ii
censes.
The court holds that the Supervisors
cannot legally employ special collector
of licenses. A similar ruling was made
two or three years ago-or at least to
the effect that no such office as License
Collector existed. The Supervisors OF
Sacramento and other counties, how
ever, employed collectors, and these
counties have been large gamers there
i by
| If no License Collector be employed,
all license must be paid into the office
OF the County Tax Collector, or if not
SO paid the only recourse is to proceed
against the persons who owe the Ii
cerses in the courts. This would in
volve delay, expense and loss, for men
doing business in remote parts of the
county cannot come TO the county seat
at frequent intervals to pay their Ii
censes.
| The law, however, is clearly against
the employment of special collectors,
and 1t is feared the Supervisors may not
De able to find any way by which it can
| be, evaded
District Attorney Ryan and Auditor
Conn both admit that it would be a ca
lamity for the present system to be dis
continued, but say they are confronted
by the decision of the Supreme Court
ana cannot see any way out of the diff
Guilty
Auditor Cohn says he has NOT consult
ed the District Attorney on the sub
Ject, and has not, as is alleged, been adj
Vlsed by that official against drawing
Collector Registers salary warrants.
ana that he has not himself taken any
action in the matter whatever. It will
De time enough whea the issue comes
up.
George P. Royster, the energetic col
iector, who last month covered into the
treasury upward of s., 600 in licenses.
takes the matter as phiosophically as
possible He resents the imputation set

UNDERSTANDS the situation exactly, but
hopes that some way may be found by
Whlcn the county can have it's licenses
collected as at present as otherwise it
will be heavy loser.
Sheriff johnson has no desire to have
the collection of licenses shifted upon
MS shoulders, but II it has to be done

however, have to call at his office and

The Supervisors are between the
