HIGHWAY TAX TO TREASURER.
With Confusion as to Course, Sheriff
 Thornton Tracks Law"

A demand made upon Sheriff J. A. Thornton as tax collector to turn over the Jefferson highway assessments collected by him to the depository named by the commissioners, has been refused. Sheriff Thornton bases his refusal of the request upon the inter- pretation of the statutes, which state plainly that such collection shall be turned over to the county treasurer. However, the statutes state further that the collections may be placed in a depository named by the commission CTS, and that the county treasurer shall receive no commission for hand ling the collections. In view of the fact there is no direct authority for him to turn the collections to other than to the treasurer, Sheriff Thorn ton has decided to do strictly as the law states.
