MR. ENEY: So that you get a situation like
|
|
2
|
death taxes. The inheritance tax goes to the Register's
|
|
3
|
general fund, and you pick up excess over expenses, or
|
|
4

by law as a commission and out of this 25 per cent, plus
|
|
11
|
the feas he collects for the various services he renders,

|
reports to us, showing his collections in the form of
|
|
14
|
fees and commissions, the cost of operating his office
|
|

|
and pays over the difference to us, which is picked up
|
|
16
|
as excess fees of office.

MR. NOSSEL: Clerks of court work the sane
