solidate Them.

TO pay fee of $2.65 for the making
out of delinquent tax warrants. This
decision was reached this morning
after a conference between the sheriff.

under the impression that he must
charge $2.G5,. the same price as is
charged for making out executions.
for delinquent tax warrants. Other
counties have been charging but 60
cents. Clerk Smedley makes out two
warrants. one for the state and one
for the county, whore other counties
consolidate the two. His methods
were objected to by the sheriff.
County Attorney Alben Barley de-
cided that inasmuch as there is no
court proceedings in the matter the
rate is excessive and the county
clerk not entitled to s2.65. This was
acquiesced in by the clerk, but The
matter of consolidating has been eft
to the attorney general.
