COM MISSIONERS MAY GET LESS
In an opinion rendered by District
Attorney noth, in answer to an inquiry
presented to him by Commisslonoi
John Dillon, it is asserted that commis
sioners in Alaska have no legal rigid
to charge lees fui recording vim
statistics and doing some ulhei duties
imposed upon them by the liist session
or lhc legislature. This opinion will
bo sent to Hie Attorney general ol ihe
Vlilted States lor ills approval.
il is held by Air. itoth Unit the Alaska
legislature lias no light to puss a law
requiring people lo pay lor recording
vilai statistics, sued as birth and dealli
records and lliat it lias no right furl tier
to impose HPV fee or expense upon the
United States, but if it wants its re
cent law made effective it must providej
the funds for that purpose.
At the sumo time it is pointed out by
All. itoth, that a congress has passed a
law requiring federal olileiuls to pre
form certain duties imposed upon them
by the local legislature, they musi
make ihu records required by the legis
lature, though they aunot receive pay
for them.
The opinion of Air. ltoth's will have
the effect of reducing the income of
most of the commissioners of Alaska.1
and if is expected that they will romon
sUute against il. provided it is upheld
by the attorney general.
Tlie United Stales Commissioner at
■1 UJieau Was recently forced to pay toe
government lees out of his own pocket
because he charged the prices provided
by the legislature instead of those
authorized by the government. Thus
il is impressed upon ilitAunmiissiuners
that tlie federal laws must always come
before any law passed by lhc logisla
lute of Alaska. Fairbanks Citizen.
