TOMBSTONE, Feb. 81. Clerk of
the Board of Supervisors H. E. Bern
er, has received from Attorney Gen
eral Clark an opinion in regard to-
the question of the collection of fees
by some of the county officials. The
question was presented to the attor-
ney general by Public Examiner Fos-
ter. The decision is to the legality
of the fees charged. One of them
states that the clerks of the district
courts have no legal right to charge
the county with the sum of $3.50 for
making a certified copy of judg-
ment in a criminal case for the puI-
pose of making a return by the snel.
III to the court. This fee is only al
lowable when a death warrant has
been executed. Another decision
states that sthe sheriff is not entitled
to fee of s2.00 for serving certi-
fed copy OF the Judgment or commit
ment on the warden of the peniten-
tiary when delivering person con-
yicted of crime, or on the asylum
authorities when delivsssag an in
sane person. This practice has not
been followed in this county, however,
as it has in other parts of the terri
tory.
