Heading: Expense of Membership in National Association of County Attorneys, and of Attending County Attorneys' School and Convention.

Text: The county attorney paid dues to the National Association of County and Prosecuting Attorneys, and incurred expenses in attending a state school for county attorneys and the annual state convention of county attorneys. His claim for credit for these items was disallowed by the lower court, on the theory that the expenses were personal rather than official in nature. Under the decisions in Reeves v. Talbott, 289 Ky. 581, 159 S.W.2d 51, and Louisville & Jefferson County Bd. of Health v. Steinfeld, 308 Ky. 824, 215 S.W.2d 1011, these expenses may properly be considered as official and not personal. We think the county attorney was entitled to credit for these expenses.
