na Cnunty To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Court of Common Pleas of Lacka
wanna County:
I. 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.
