county treasurer ten cents for each
tract or parcel of land advertised as
delinquent. Apparently the treas
urer of that county has been bunch
ing several descriptions i'm one
certificate and takes the position that
the fee can only be ten cents for
each such description he sends in.
Bat the holding of the department
is that such description does not
comply with the law and that each
description must be paid for at the
legal rate whether published sep
a%rately or punched together. They
hold farther that the treasurer and
mis- bond are liable for this payment,
and not the county. as the county
can not be held liable for an illegal
act OF an officer.
