WAKE COUNTY SUED.
The suit brought by the State Treas
urer against the county OF Wake, and
now pending in the Superior Court
here. is of interest TO every county in
the State. and If decided against the
State will materially effect the reve-

This action was brought last May, 1t
Will remembered. to recover the sum
of $5,436.55 paid out by the county for
making out the tax lists and deducted
by the shcriffS in their settlements with
the State.
Since 1893 the Board OF Commission
ers for Wake county have authorized
the sheriffs, in settling with the Audi
tor for State taxes, to deduct the en-
tire cost for making out tax-lists and
abstracts. which some years amounted
to more than 81 900 Il year. The State
Treasurer contends that under the law
the entire expense of executing the tax
levy and revenue acts is on the county,
and no other county, he says, has ever
deducted anything on this account.
The State Treasurer figures that had
the other counties been making similar
deductions the same ratio of deduction
from the total State tax for the same
six years would have aggregated $l07,-
