If you had hired man, working on q salary, and
his duties collect CERTAIN fees you guaranteeing
him his salary and he refund his collections
that amount would expect him to make the
per returns of his collections We ask you to 60 wit
into the records of the proceedings of the board of
supervisors of last January just after the new board had
organized for the year, and what may be found.
The record reads that on January IL, 1911, the
following took place:
Moved by Supervisor SEIZURE that the county
attorney be directed to submit to this board
written opinion relative to the fees retained for
marriage ceremonies by the county judge.
The following day, January H. the county attorney
presented his opinion in which he called attention of
the board Sections 9444 and 9476 of the Annotated
Statutes of 1909 defining detail the fees of the county
Judge. Among the fees is the item, ''per marriage
ceremony three dollars which section passed in 1907
is the first which makes specific allowance for any fee
whatever for the county judge for this purpose The
opinion concludes:
''There being a statute and after July 5,
1907, expressly allowing county judges a fee of
three dollars for performing marriage
monies, it becomes obligatory upon these off,
cais and after July 5. 1907, to report the
county commissioners according to law the re-
ceipt of this class of fees the same the
ceipt of other fees allowed by law and include
these fees in ascertainng their annual compen-
sation and the excess due the county,
Supervisor SEIZURE moved that this opinion be made
part of the record which was DONE
Supervisor Clother then moved that the chair ap-
point special committee to check up the fees of the
county Judge The chair appointed Supervisors Clother
Smith, SEIZURE and Wilson.
This special committee reported the next day, Jan

1--WE your special committee appointed to make
settlement with County Judge Ratterman in the
matter of marriage ceremonies fees for the
years 1908, 1909 and 1910. beg leave to report
that checked up said fees earned for said
years and herewith submit the following report:
1--WE find that for the year 1908 there were
performed thirty marriage ceremonies at three
dollars each, making total of ninety dollars;
but the final settlement for said year, said
fees earned in the county judges Office did not
exceed the limit allowed by law, the ninety
dollars above referred to being added to the
and for said year 1908 there
plus fees to return in said matter.
''For the year 1909 there performed
thirty seven marriage ceremonies at three dol
lars each, making total of Sill, and for the
year 1910 there were forty five marriage
monies at three dollars each making q total of
$135.
This being total for the years 1909 and
1910 of $246 for which amount county trea-
