State where they collected fees. To cit >

suited a prominent attorney in the
county. Who ruled tina: certain corpora

to collect them. 1t made difference Of
some $1,000 or $500 to that particular
official; and thii committee in drafting
this wished 10 guard against any fees
which might not be considered statu-

usual were put in to cover some fees
