COUNTY OFFICIALS turn OVER FEES
in OUR
VALLEY

IicidlS, may we pause 70 remark
that some OF them are getting some
undeserved publicity.
On this matter OF fees.
Laws Of the state regarding fees
are In q tangle.
The well known Philadelphia
lawyer would have a time deter
bining Just what they mean and
yASt how they should be interpreted.
These Cameron county officials
whose fees are In question are in
volved In a purely legal and tech
nical question.
No question OF moral conduct OF
their offices Is involved.
IT'S just a question OF what the
law means and which law applies.
The county clerk has 5000 in
escrow.
Waiting for the law to determine
whether 1t belongs to his office or
to the county.
The tax collector is in the same
fix.
Matters Of fees which he has col
lected Is even now In litigation.
SO that he and the county may
know to whom the money belongs.
Sheriff's office admits a debt to
the county OF a comparatively
small sum-, due to an error In book
keeping.
Other fees under investigation
we're collected by former officers OF
the county, and any attempt on
the part OF the county to collect
these fees, II indeed they belong
70 the county, will undoubtedly be
barred by the statr..c OF limita-
tons
VIZ feel that the above explana-
kton Is due.
We have confidence in u coun-
" officials. elective and appointive.
They all have the interests OF
Cameron county at heart.
what differences exist between
them are legal and technical.
And viii be worked out and adj
justed.
So let's keep calm. and not be
too quick on the trigger OF blame
for anybody.
