COUNTY BRIDGE MONEY
In the matter of the City of Cald
we'll being entitled, under the law, to
percentage of the County's General
Bridge Levy, l have carefully investi
gated the law, and am of the opinion
that the City is not entitled to receive
any portion of the same.
l respectfully submit the following
correspondence relative to the subject,
between City Attorney Walters and
myself.
Hon. T. A. Walters,
City Attorney,
Caldwell. Idaho.
lear Sir:
There seems to be an understanding
on the part of some of our citizens
thai the City of Caldwell is entitled to
receive a certain percentage of the
moneys raised by Canyon county,
within the City. on it's general bridge
levy.
This City is not now receiving, nor
has it ever received to the best OF my
knowledge, any money from Canyon
county raised in this way.
will be very gratful if you will let
me have your written opinion on this
matter at your earliest convenience,
and l am enclosing some data which
may be of use to you in determining
the question.
Very truly yours,
S. Ben Dunlap, City Clerk.
April u, 1916.
Judge S. Ben Dunlap,
Caldwell, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
In reference to the question submit
ted by you as to whether the City OF
Caldwell has right to collect from
Canyon county any portion OF the
General Bridge Levy made by the
County Commissioners, have to advise
that l am of the opinion that the city
cannot collect from the County any
portion of the General Bridge Levy:
Section 2242 of the Revised Codes
of Idaho, as amended by the 18th SEES
sion of the Legislature, would seen
to indicate that where the city ha:
constructed bridge exceeding on fee
in length over any stream crossing
State or County highway, in that even
the Treasurer fthe County shall pay
to the Treasurer of the City 1870 OF al
bridge taxes collected in the city unit
the debt and interest upon the SAM
is fully paid.

Idaho in the case of City Of Kellogt

STRUNG that portion of the section jus
quoted in connection with the othe
