SHERIFFS CAN'T MAKE
over $1,000 A YEAR
Must Return Amounts Beyond
Deputies Salaries and Statu-
tory Limit To County

Frankfort, KY, June 24-All
fees in excess of $1,000 and the
salary of necessary deputies and
assistants, collected by Sheriffs
of Kentucky must be turned into
the county treasures and go to
the payment of the cost of county
. government, the Court of Appeals
decided Friday. The question was
discussed in voluminous opinion
written by Judge Moorman and
ccncurred in by the whole court,
reversing the action of the Fay
cite circuit court which had held
that Paul E. Shipp could not
bring suit against ]. Waller
Rodes and T. c. Bradley, former
sheriffS OF Fayette county.
The opinion affects many coun-
ties throughout the state in which
sheriffs have been receiving more
than $1,000 a year in salary from
fees. Officials here say it will
save the state and counties many
thousands of dollars annually.
The csSc was the outgrowth OF
agitation for saving money to- the
state and counties and is backed
by farmers organizations thru-
out the state. During the last
legislature an effort was made to
pass a bill introduced by James
Park of Madison county, limiting
salaries by statute and providing
penalties for failure to observe
the section OF the constitution
that limits all salaries except that
of the governor to $500. The
bill passed the House but did not
pass the Senate.
The Court of Appeals in It's
opinion, held that all excess fees
must go into the county treasury.
1t expressly stated that it was
not deciding, in this case. whether
or not the state could recover
from the county ITS pro rata OF
fees paid the sleriffs in excess of
5000 and expenses.
The county fiscal courts are
charged by the court with the en-
forcement OF the constitutional
provision, in its opinion. it says
that the SheriffS are required to
make returns to the fiscal court
and that through these an exact
accounting for his office can he
obtained. Through the law re-
curing that the fiscal courts ap-
prove the appointment Of dcpu-
ties, the salaries and number of
deputies Gan be regulated, the
court said.
