Gentlemen: am in receipt of your
recent letter requesting construction
OF Section { Chapter so, Laws OF 1917,
the same being An Act Relating TO
Delinquent Taxes"
The section referred to provides
that per centum of the amount OF
tax penalty and costs be included In
the Judgment, and that said per
centum when collected, shall be paid
over to the county treasurer and COW
cred into the court fund OF the coun-
y The section further provides that
whenever special counsel shall be en-
ployed 10 conduct proceedings In such
case such per centum shall be paid
To such special counsel by order OF
the court upon warrant drawn against
such court fund and shall constitute
the compensation for such special
counsel
In my opinion, the s per centum re-
lerred 20 constitutes all OF the compen-
sation TO which such special counsel is
entitled Furthermore, | am OF the
opinion that, unless such ) per centum
Is actually collected and paid into
the court fund, as provided In the act,
the same shall not be available to
such special counsel In other words,
this 5 per centum cannot be paid to
the special counsel out of the court
fund unless the same has been col

eNpedient so to do, such special Coun.

OF conducting any such proceedings
The reason given for this provision
Is that because district attorneys are

the suits required under this act and
therefore special counse. H. neoes-

this is wholly unsupported by the
facts and that district attorneys are
