SALARIES AND Fees
Salaries Paid to County Officials in
Fulton and Fees Earned By Them
Turned Back Into the County Treas
ury.

There seems to be some misunder-
standing in regard to salaries and
fees of county officials. Some who
read the Auditors Annual report of
the county's receipts and expenditures
for 1915 published in this paper week
before last gained the impression that
the county officials received the fees
that are tabulated in the report as
allowed to them in addition to their
salaries.
As a matter of fact these fees are
paid into the county treasury by the
officials who have earned them and
they receive only their stated salaries
for the services they render.
When the law was enacted that
changed the compensation of the
county officers from the fees earned
in their respective offices to a stated
salary, no provision was made to
abolish the fee system, consequently
in order to conduct the business of
the county according to law the Of
ficials must charge the fees to the
county and these fee bills must be
passed by the Board of Commissioners
the same as other bills against the
county, when htye have been allowed
the official who has presented the bill
secures a "pay in" check from the
Auditor for the amount which he de-
posits with the County Treasurer who
credits the amount to the Fee fund.
The officers salaries are paid directly
to them by the County Treasurer on
an order from the Auditor !.
According to the Auditors Report
for the year ending August 31st, 1916
the salaries and the fees earned by
the officials of Fulton county is as

N. Y. CASE TO u. S. COURT
Supreme Tribunal to Decide
AZ Broadway Co. Suit.

Washington. July 15.--In the curious
case of the government against the 40
Broadway Company. New York, which
has a capital of only $500, but bonds
amounting to $4,75O,OOO, the Depart
ment Of Justice filed a brief in the
Supreme Court to-day.
The company's contention is that it
is exempted by law from paying any
corporation income tax, because 1t IS
entitled to deduct from its gross in
come the amount of interest II has 20
pay on bonds, which would bring the
income below the $4,000 minimum on
which corporation income tax is col
lccted
The government contends the law
provides that only the interest on an
amount of bonds equal TO the par value
Of the capital stock may be deducted
from the gross income in computing
the amount on which taxes have to be
paid. This would force the company
TO pay the income tax on all OF the
interest it paid on its bonds except
that on 5000

JUSTICE MILLER
TOLEAVE BENCH
Associate in Court of Appeals
Plans to Return to Pri-
Vate Practice.

q
Albany, July 15.-Justice Nathan l..
Miller, serving as an Associate Judge
Of the Court Of Appeals by designation,
has decided TO resign from the Supreme
Court. Justice Cuthbert ". Pound, Of
Lockport, is being urged by his friends
to succeed Justice Miller in the Court
Of Appeals.
Two reasons determined Justice
Miller to resign from the Supreme
Court. One is that geographical con-
siderations initiate against the posi-
bility Of his ever being nominated and
elected as a regular member OF the
Court of Appeals. Two Of the regular
members, Judges Frank II. Hiscock and
John W. Hogan, come from Syracuse, IN
Onondaga County, which adjoins Cort-
land. the home Of Justice Miller.
In view Of this fact, an offer to be-
come counsel TO the Solyay Process
Company, Of Syracuse, became doubly
attractive II Justice Miller resigns
before August his successor will be
elected this fall but II he retires after
that date Governor Whitman will be
able to fill his place by appointment
until December 81, 1916, when Justice
Miller's term expires. For some time
prior to his designation in 1918 to the
Court Of Appeals he was a member Of
the Appellate Division in the I'd De-
partment.
After having been member of the
State Civil Service Commission, a pro-
fessor in the Cornell Law School and
personal counsel to Governor Higgins,
Justice Pound was appointed to the
bench by him in 1906. He was elected
for a full term the same year. His
friends say that this designation TO the
Court Of Appeals should 90 TO Western
New York because, Of the other two
designees, Justice Emory A. Chase
comes from Catskill and Justice b. y.
Cardozo from New York City.
