Opinion.
Kenosha, Wis, Nov. 10Th, 1918.
The Honorable Chairman and Members
of the Board of Supervisors of
Kenosha County:
Gentlemen
Section 1920 of the Statute pro-
cedes for the appointment of (The
Soldiers Relief Commission.)
Section 1921 provides that the
members of the commission shall re-
ceive the same rate of compensation
as the supervisors and also the amount
of their actual expenses on presenta-
ton of an itemized statement thereof,
and provided that the compensation
shall not be allowed for more than four
meetings In each year. The section
also provides that the Board may fix
salary for the secretary of the COM
mission which shall be in full for all
services rendered and expenses in
Cured by him except disbursement
for stationery and postage.
You requested my opinion as to
whether the chairman could be allow
ed salary and if not whether an APP
preparation in lieu Of salary could be
made to him. Under the sections Of
the law referred to and other sections
with reference to this matter it is my
opinion that the Board have no authOri-
ty in the law to the provide either for
salary or to make an appropriation to
the chairman of the commission. The
law contemplates that the secretary Of
the commission shall perform all the
detailed work required.
Respectfully submitted,
Alfred L. Drury,
District Attorney.

propriate 10000 to the secretary OF
the Soldiers Relief Commission, pay
