Opinion

Campbell, C. J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The first section of “ An act for the relief of assessors in this state and for other purposes,” approved February 14, 1890, does not contain apt words to entitle assessors to five cents for each poll assessed in 1888 and 1889, in addition to the compensation allowed by former laws. If it was the purpose to give additional compensation for past services, it should have been plainly expressed.
