ounty Attorney
Tunnels County Re: Present maximum com-
Ballinger, Texas pensation of County
Commissioners in
Dear Sir: Runnels County.
Your request for an opinion reads in part
as follows:
"The Oomtissioners Court of Runnels
County, in 1950, raised their own salar-
ies and the salaries of all other County
Officials twenty-five per cent, as pro-
vided in Art. 3912g, V.0.S., so that at
the present time the Commissioners are
drawing salaries of $3050.00 annually.
The assessed tax valuations of this Coun-
ty for last year were less than $20,000,-
000.00, so that under the provisions of
Art. 2350, V.C.S., said Commissioners
could draw only $2500.00 annually, had
they not Used Art. 3912g for an increase.
The present assessed tax valuations of
this County are above $20,000,0Q0o00,
which will mean that- the Commissioners
salaries would be $3,000.00 unde" the
provisions of Art. 2350, or an increase
of $500.0 from $2500.00 to $3,000.00."
The questions submitted by yqu are substan-
tially as follows:
May the Commissioners' Court of Run-
nels County increase their own salaries
in the sum of $500.00 per year pursuant
to the provisions of Article 2350, .C.S.,
without increasing the salaries of the
other county officials? If so, when is
this increase effective?
What is the maximum compensatio
that the County Commissioners of Runnels
County may receive for the years 1951 and
1952?
