ON PLACING TAX LIST

Pierre. S. D.. Aug. 4.-The attorney

may publish the delinquent a lists in
any newspaper in the county, it being
immaterial whether or not such news
paper is an official newspaper OF the

curry, but. it applies to all counties Of
the state. 1t appears the statute on
the subject is not quite clear in its
reading.
A sheriff, being already a regular
officer, may not collect extra fees for
collecting taxes by distress, notwith-
standing the wording of the statute
which provides, lin addition to the
compensation o provided by law"
The attorney general holds that this
clause does not apply either to the
sheriff or county treasurer. and only
authorizes persons, other than those,
to receive COMPENSATION"
