Treasurer Can Collect Fees.

Under the laws of the state of Iowa
the county treasurer may charge fee
Of from 81 to SO cents for receiving
and answering payments of taxes
through the mails. There seems to
be an impression abroad that the
county treasurer can not charge such
fees. but this is incorrect and the law
especially provides minimum fee OF
80 cents. 1t has been the practice in
this county, and in fact in all coun-
ties in the state. to make the charge.
The object OF the law was to provide
for the extra expense entailed in the
clerical work necessary to handle the
payment of taxes made by non-resi
dents.
