MR.. CAL. G. MOUSSEAU,
City Clerk, City Hall,
FL Centre. California.
DEAR SIR:
Your letter under date Of October
%, 1885, has been received by me.
As I understand it, you wish my
opinion as to whether the City
Clerk is legally chargeable with
tie collection Of city taxes, and
with the duty Of receiving money
from other officers, or departments
Of the city, where such money has
been collected by them in the dis
carge Of their official duties and
on behalf of the City.
II is my opinion that the City
Clerk is chargeablc with the duty
Of making such collections as are
legally required Of the City Asses
So fcr the reason he is eX-officio
City Assessor. This would un-
dCubtedly include the collection Of
unsecured personal property taxes
He is also chargeable with the duty
OF receiving such monies in con-
nection with applications for IL
ecnses as may be required Of him
by crdinanca: and also with the
duty Of receiving money which
may be paid in to the City and for
the receipt OF which no other pro
vision has been made by law.
The City Clerk is not required
TO collect city taxes and license
othcr than as hcrcinbefOre men
toned The general duty Of col
leeting taxes and licenses is i'm
posed upon the Chief of Police
where the same is provided by or
dlnance The ordnance providing

DOREY C. WHITELAW.
City Attorney,
El Centre, California.
DEAR SIR:
I am of the opinion that the
collection Of taxes and the deposit
of public monies coming under the
different departments of City Gov
ernment are being made contrary
10 the statutes and ordinance.
Prior TO this time and up to the
present time, the City Clerk, or
his deputies, have been collecting
taxes contrary to Section 87S of
the Municipal Corporation Act,
which section clearly sets out the
duties Of the City Clerk, and in no
instance does it mention the COL
lection of taxes.
Section $50, Of the Municipal
Corporation Act Of 1893, definitely
states that the collection Of city
taxes is the duty OF the Chief of
Police, or a deputy appointed BY
him Public monies sccrUing to
the different departments of the
city government have heretofore
been and at the present time, are
being deposited with the City
Clerk, who in turn, deposits with
the City Treasurer; which, accord
ing to my opinion. is an illegal
and unnecessary procedure.
Section 885, of the Municipal
Corporation Act prescribes the
method to be used in the deposit
of public monies and in my opinion
should be followed These duties
that I have enumerated that have
heretofore been, and at the pres
ent time. are being performed by
the City Clerk, I wish TO be re-
lieved Of, and request that the
proper procedure be carried cut on
and after November /, 1885, there
by placing the responsibilities and
duties in their proper places and
under the proper city officials.
AS it is my intention to call this
matter to the attention Of the City
Council at their first meeting in
November, I will appreciate writ
ten opinion from you as to what
your Interpretation Of the law is,
and if I am within my rights in
insisting upon these changes being
made.
I might state that the readjust-
ment that I suggest viii not in
crease the payroll or the overhead
burden in city affairs, but rather,
will have the effect of maintain
ing a more harmonious and busi-
nesslike administration and elm
mating all possibility Of any ques-
ton as 10 the handling of city al
fairs
Yours very truly,

GOOD SCHOOL LUNCHES
BASED ON DIET NEEDS
Beach,.

The good school lunch is planned
in relation to the meals at home, said
Miss Mary E Thomas, extension nu-
tritionist at State College.
If children are to grow, be active
in mind and strong in body, and
have resistance to disease, their
MONDAY meal should combine with
their home meals to give we'll
balanced diet, she added.
A child should have daily: a quart
of milk; two servings of vegetables
in addition to potatoes; two servings
of fruit, one raw, if raw vegetables
or canned tomatoes are not served;
at least one serving Of egg, meat,
fish, or cheese; cereal foods such as
whole grain breads and breakfast
cereals; butter, and sweets in mod
crate amounts.
The food should be so prepared
that it is easy to digest. Variety in
texture and color makes the lunch

German Youths
Ready to Take
Part In Warfare
Older Men in Germany Still
Remember Horrors of World
War and are Anxious

Millions of Germans between the
ages of Is and As are carrying in
their pockets a blue sheet of paper
eight by five inches. The sheet of
paper contains a secret order telling
each one exactly when and where
he must report in the event of war,
and the order will serve as rail
road ticket to the point where the
holder must report.
The information was brought to
this country last week by the Asso-
ciated Press, in copyrighted article
from Berlin, which said the NOrder
to Take Part in War;" as it is head
ed, is causing admitted anxiety,
especially among the older men who
experienced the horrors of the
World War, although outwardly they
display enthusiasm.
Each order specifies even the bar
racks in which the recipient is to
report, what he is to bring with him
in the way of clothing, what he is to
do in case he changes his residence,
etc.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1936-10-01

foods in the lunch soft and moist,
another crisp or crunchy to chew.
Sandwiches are the mainstay OF
any lunch as they are easy to carry
and are generally liked. Numerous
varieties of sandwiches can be made
with Filings of fruits, vegetables,
meats, and cheese.
Vegetables, especially raw ones,
are appetizing and can be carried
easily wrapped in wax paper or
made into salads. The fruit in the
lunch box may be fresh, dried, can
ned, or in the form of juice.
If milk cannot be taken in the
lunch box and kept cold, it may be
prepared in the form of custards,
buildings, and cottage cheese.
Miss Thomas also pointed out that
it is better to put the staple foods
on top, where they will be eaten
first, and have the sweets or deserts
in the bottom of the lunch. This will
tend to keep the child from eating
the desert first and then leaving the
rest.

their farms at once to see what else
they must do to obtain the full
amount Of their payments, the dean
pointed out.
He also stated that the payments
are only an additional inducement
for growers to do those things which
improve their land. The soil-build-
ing value of these practices is worth
far more than the payments.
For this reason, he said, growers
will benefit themselves by carrying
out more of these practices than
they will be paid for.
The rates of payment for practices
that may be conducted up to Octo-
Der 81 are as follows:
Seeding alfalfa, So per acre. Seed
ing red or mamoth clover, $1.50 per
acre. Seeding AlSike, white, or crinl-
son clover, Austrian winter peas, or
vetch, 81 per acre.
Flowing or disking under the fol-
lowing crops as green manure, after
at least two months growth: soy
beans, velvet beans, cowpeas, sweet
clover, lespedeza, or crotalaria, $1.50e
per acre.
Terracing with sufficient amount
of properly constructed terraces to
give adequate protection against ero-
sion, 40 cents per 100 linear feet
of terrace, but do not to exceed 81
per acre. Lining, ST per 1000 pounds
up to 81 per acre.
