In answer to an inquiry from San An
tonic, the attorney generals department
this evening ruled that aside from the
payment of fee of 81 for their commits
sion from the State. notaries public are
required to nay but 81 additional fees TO
county clerks. In the opinion OF the de-
partmene II appears from article 1904 OF
the Revised Statutes that all that Is re-
quired OF a person to qualify as notary
public is to execute bond and subscribe
10 the oath provided. Under the fee law
county clerks are allowed 80 cents for
approving notaral bonds and 30 cents for
Qualifying a notary public. The term
Vaualifying' as used in this case includes
all services rendered by the clerk except
/ approving the bond. 1t is true, says the
/ department. that said article 1904 further
provides that said bond shall be record
ed IL the office OF the clerk of the county
court and denosted in said office, etc,
but this constitutes no mart OF The quail
ficaton OF the notary 1t is duty sub
scquent on the part of the clerk aud tner'
!. being no provision OF law authorizing TIL
clerk to charge for recording such bond
the notary can not be required to pay sue
