The provision In the. local Baldwin
County Act. supra, that said special
tax shall be used only for the support
and maintenance OF public schools In
said county as hereinafter provided,
cannot be construed, in my judgment,
to mean that these officers shall be de-
privsd OF their commissions on the as
sessments and collections OF such spe-
cfai tax. Nor do think that the re-
peaIfng clause of Section . of said Act
i,speals the general law which provides

Ssr the assessment and collection OF
special taxes. 1t cannot be seriously
commended that 1t was the intention OF
the Legislature in the local Act to take
away from the Tax Assessor and Tax
Collector their commissions on the
school tax. Neither can 1t be asserted
as a sound proposition Of law under
the statutes of Alabama that these Of.
ficers are required TO collect a special
tax Of this character and charge the
commissions for their services to the
general fund" and thus relieve the
special fund OF its legal and proper.
tionate share OF governmental ex-
penses.
at is my opinion. therefore,: (,
"First--That the Assessor and Collec-
tor OF Baldwin County are entitled to
commissions on account Of the school

'Second--That such commissions
should be taken from the special school
