CITY AND COUNTY
CONTINUE LlTIGATlON

Centerville, S. D., July 24.-The case
of the city of Centerville against Tur-
aer county, brought to 0 the sum
of $1,000 overcharges for the collection
of taxes, has just been modified by de-
cision OF supreme court, holding that
the statute of limitation runs against
all sums retained by the county moro
than six years prior to the commence
ment of the action.
The city contends that the county is
entitled to but l per cent for collecting
city taxes, instead of 4 per cent, the
amount actually retained by the county.
In this contention the city has been
sustained by the supreme court, but is
not allowed to go back more than six
years. In regard to the statute of linn
~itation, the city contends that the legal
relationship existing between county
and city in collection of taxes is a f.
dueiary one; that in the collection of
city taxes the county was acting as a
trustee, n hat all taxes so collected
belong to the city and not the county:
that the statute Of limitation never
runs against a trust fund. The city
intends to for a rehearing in the
supreme court.
