Description
CULLEN, Commissioner. The Mason County Board of Education appeals from a judgment which allowed the sheriff of Mason County $3,782.75 as compensation for collecting the county school taxes for the fiscal year 1950-51. The total school taxes collected by the sheriff amounted to $201,210.40, and the compensation allowed by the court is the equivalent of a fee of 1.88 percent. The board of education maintains that a reasonable fee would not exceed $800. This is on two theories; first, that the city treasurer of Maysville is paid only $600 for collecting $150,000 in city school taxes, which furnishes a standard of compensation for comparable work; and second, that clerks could be employed by the sheriff to handle the tax collection work at $38.47 per week, and the portion of the total compensation of the necessary number of clerks, allocable to school tax collection, would not exceed $800.
