Williams v. Chariton County

Opinion of the Court

Pee Cueiam.

Under the authority of the case of Shed v. Ry. Co., 67 Mo. 687, no fees are allowed an officer except where expressly given and allowed by law. Moreover the compensation of assessors, except in St. Louis county, is fixed at a certain sum, and this sum includes all personal property assessed to one owner. Dogs being assessed in the list of personal property makes no increase in the emoluments of the assessor. See section 69, W. S. 1872, p. 1172. Therefore, judgment affirmed.
