Two Important Decisions.

Following the decision of Judge
Abbott that the treasurer and collec-
tor Of Bernalillo county has no right
to retain 4 per cent commission on
liquor and gaming licenses, Judge
Pope of this district now decides that
the assessors have no right to a com.
mission Of 4 per cent on liquor and
gaming licenses collected, remarks the
Roswell Record. editorially. These
two decisions, II upheld by the SUI.
preme court will affect all the asses.
sors and collectors of the territory,
and will relieve the school fund of
quite a burden. Judge Pope's decision
is based on an act Of March 81, 1901,
which allows the assessor fifty cents
on each license, payable by the party
taking out the license. There is hard.
ly any question that his decision will
be upheld II appealed.
