IN OUR
VALLEY

~ ~I ""
that some Of them are getting some
undeserved publicity.
On this matter OF fees.
Laws OF the state ->garding fees
are In a tangle.
The well known Philadelphia
layer would have q time deter
M ping just what they mean and
Just now they should be interpreted.
These Cameron county officials
whose fees are In question are in
volved in q purely legal and tech
meal 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 had $500 in
escrow.
Waiting for the Law to determine
whether it belonged to his office or
to the county.
The tax collector is in the same
Tx.
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.
sheriffs office admits a debt to
the county of . comparatively
small sum, due to an error in book
keeping.
other fees under investigation
were collected by former officers Of
the county, and any attempt on
the part Of the county TO collect
these fees, II indeed they belong
TO the county. will undoubtedly be
barred by the stat OF limita-
tons.

ton Is due.
we have confidence in u coun-
ty 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 al
justed.
So let's keep calm, and not De
too quick on the trigger OF blame
for anybody.
