A Pennsylvania legal opinion clarifies that counties are liable for paying assessors who enumerate children ages eight to thirteen under the 1896 compulsory education act. The ruling traces statutory history from the 1870s and 1880s, noting prior practice of counties funding assessor work despite lacking express language. The opinion cites Justice Sterrett on implied public treasury liability and emphasizes duties including registration, enrollment, and enumeration.
