Indiana Officials in a Nice Muddle Over Fees
Attorney general Ketcham issues a cautious ruling on the 1891 1879 and 1894 acts constraining county treasurers and their compensation. He finds no salary fee or percentage due under these acts and limits allowable charges to 20 cents on delinquent tax collections and levy sale expenses. The ruling flatly delays the Van Arsdell law and leaves county treasurers largely unpaid until a new statute is enacted.
