County Warrants.

of the county court and the scalp

Money on Dkposit in Court,
The clerk has exhibited to me the
money on deposit in court, as follows:
Unidentified amount 118 89
Smith case 40 S4
Bamett estate 139 S3
At the present time the county clerk
is running his ottioe shorthanded. This
has caused some of the work to fall
behind. Notably, the warrant register,
and the cancellation of the cancelled
warrants thereon, which is quite an
important record.
In a general way I feel like cum pi i

Mr. J. H. Wilson,
Prineville, Ore.
Dear Sir:
I am today in receipt of your letter
of the 10th inBtant in which you ask
for an opinion concerning the disposi
tion of various fee and mileages earn
ed by the sheriff of your county. You
wish to know whether or not he should
turn the same over to the county treas
urer, or could he keep them in addition
to his regular salary.
Replying I would state that it is pro
vided in Chapter 199 of the General
Law of Oregon for 1911, that:
"1 he said omcer shall receive no
other compensation whatever for their
services, and all fees collected under ex
isting laws, by them, shall be turned
into the county treasury of said county. "
I am of the opinion that this restric
tion applies to all of the county officers.
and that all fees collected by any of
the county officers should be turned in
to the county treasury.
Yours very truly,
A. M. Crawford,
Attorney General.
Sheriff's Fees for Mileace
Service of Process.
The sheriff ha earned, according to
his docket, fees and milages in civil ington egn $ 1.50 per 15. B. F. Wii,
cases, to the amount of.. $429 101"orr, Prliievlllf, Ore. 3-6-6fp
(Of this amount the docket shows
f 173.80 paid, and as to tlis balance, it
does not say w hether paid or not.)
In addition to the above the docket
shows SI cases in which servica
00
been made, attachments Ill.il, or trii
slice process served, exclusive of mil
ara. not shown on the docket, and
these 81 cases call for fees t-'iO 66
The sheriff has also executed five
deeds, according to the deed record, at
K2 - 10 08
(Hi
be I'1 " th other counties in the state
I of Oregon, where I have conducted eX'
for aminations, the sheriffs have paid this
not class of fees to the treasurer, tw ice a
the I yar, and they are still doing; so.
is But tht attorney reneral has deliver-
eu himself of an opinion on this subject
" 244 l,ie"n'' Klrt 1910-1912)
I wnerein ne declares tnat such fees are
no longer authorised to be collected by
sheriffs, the same having been super
ceeded by the flat-salary law for coun
ty officer.
The attorney general discusses this
question at length comparing th sev
eral salary bill and flat-salary bills,
and declares that all such fee cannot
be collected.
He is further furtifted in this opinion
by a ruling of the supreme court in the
case of the State ex rl V, Dunbar, 53
Or. 45, declaring that when a law was
passed placing an officer on flat salary,
whose compensation wa previously
gained from fees, and there is no law
providing that such fee shall continue
to be collected for the benefit of the
county, that they cannot be collected,
as there is no authority therefor.
Having a doubt in this matter 1 ad
dressed a letter to the attorney general
asking him how these fee should be
disposed of, and his letter I attach
