Edward A. Jones, County Con troller, being duly qualified according to law, submit herewith a statement of the receipts and expenditures of Lack awanna County from January 4, 1904, to January 2, 1906, as required by sec tion six of act creating office of Couta ty Controller, approved 27th day of June, 1895, P. L., page 403. The past year was the first in our county's history for the entire corps of county officials to work under the salary act. It was naturally to be ex pected that such a radical change of system would be productive of difficul ties In various forms, but the ready compliance with the law on the part of the several officers has materially obviated the complications that other wise would possibly have arisen. The attention of your honorable court is called to the following: In the matter of the collection of moneys known as liquor licenses, the present county treasurer, James Young, followed the custom that was in vogue under the fee system by retaining a commission of two and one-quarter per cent, on receipts, and two and one quarter on distribution of said mon eys to the different cities, boroughs and townships. Inasmuch as the ques tion as to whether the treasurer could charge a commission in the first place, and In the second place as to whom It belongs If collectible by law. is still undecided, the controller cannot take action In the matter until the case is Mettled beyond a peradventure. If It be decided that the treasurer under the fee system Is entitled to the com mission, then the controller will move in the matter and direct that the moneys be placed to the credit of the county, to which It would belong under the salary act. In the matter of mercantile licenses an additional fee o( one and a half dollars Is collected on each license. This charge, under the fee system be longed to the county treasurer, but under the salary act the county Is undoubtedly entitled to It, and In sup port of my opinion I cite a section of nn act approved 31st March, 1876: "The salary fixed and provided by the foregoing provisions shall be In lieu of all or any moneys, fees or perquis ites which are now or may hereafter be received by any officer named In this act: and all said moneys, fees or perquisites received by them as com pensation fees or perquisites from any source whatever shall In all cases be long to the county and shall be paid Into the treasury." The controller, therefore, declares the said county treasurer, James Young. Indebted to' the county of Lackawanna In the sum of three thousand, two hundred and flfty-flve dollars, being 1,170 names at one dollar and fifty cents per name.
