Board of County Commissioners Indian River County ii Vero Beach, Florida �! Gentlemen: Section 34.11 Florida Statutes 1941,,fixes the compensation of the prosecuting attor �ney of the County Cour at $800.00 per annum and $5.00 for each conviction and 10% of each cash' bond estreated in his court in connection with which an investigation is made and an informa- tion is filed. The writer assumed the duties of Prosecuting Attorney of this County, after leave of absence granted by the Governor during his time in the Military Service, on February 49 1946 ,and from that date forward requests that he be paid as provided in the above Statute.. Yours very truly, it Hon. W. Co Graves, Jr. Chairman ':and Members of the Board of County Commissioners Indlan'River County Vero Reach, Florida Sherman N. Smith9Jr. Gentlemen: On the 22nd day of October, 1942, Governor Spessard L. Holland issued to me a commission as Ac- ting County Prosecuting Attorney for Indian River County for the period covered by the leave of absence granted to Sherman N. Smith, Jr. for the term of his active military service. There- after I received the compensation which had theretofore been paid to fir. Smith as County Prose. outing Attorney. On the 4th day of February' 1946 Ur, Smith.resumed the performance of the duties of his of five. Our attention has been called to Section 34.11! Florida Statutes of 19419 which provides that the compensation of the County Prosecuting Attorney shall be $800.00 per annum and $5.00 for each conviction and 10 percent of each cash bond estreated in the County Court. Your at- tention is called to the fact that whiff I performed the duties of this office I was paid only a salary of $400.00 per annum and a conviction fee of $5.00 and that I was not paid such 10 j' percent on cash bonds estreated. I now make demand upoi► you to pay me an additional salary of $400.00 for each of the year 1943, 1944, and 1945 and 10 percent of the amount of cash bonds estreated in the County Court during , these three years. Let it be understood that I do not want the County to pay me any money that I am not lawfully entitled to receive. I therefore suggest that you request the advice of the State Auditor and the Attorney General in the matter and that you pay me all or such part of the amounts above demanded as they advise you will be lawful. Yours very respectfully, C. P. Diamond C. P. Diamond .OUPN UM ON COMPENSATION OF PROSECUTING ATTORNEY Chapter 10072, Acts of 1925, created a County Court in Indian River County and pro vided for a Prosecuting Attorney. in Section 4 thereof, to -wits "Section 4. The Prosecuting Attorney of said Court, prior to the general election in 19269 shall be appointed by the Gover- nor and receive a salary of $400.00 per annum, to be paid quarterly by Indian River County,, Florida, upon warrant from the Board of County Commissioners of said County, and a fee of $5.00,1 for each conviction, to be taxed and paid as other costs in criminal eases, and shall hold his office until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, as by law made and pro- vided in such cases." Article 5, Section 18, Constitution of Florida, provides that the Legislature may organize County Courts in such counties as it deems properly provides for a Prosecuting Attor- ney and that "his duties and compensation shall be prescribed by law." Article 3, Section 20 of the Florida Constitution provides that the legislature shall not pass special or local laws in any of the following cases, " - - - regulating the fees of officers of the State and County." Chapter 19321, Acts of 19399 Section 29 provides for amending Section 5987, revised', general Statutes of Florida, 1920, so that the Prosecuting Attorney of the County Court shall be paid $800.00 per annum and $5.00 for each conviction and shall also receive ten percent of each cash bond estreated in his court in connection with which an investigation is made and an information is filed. Section 2 of the above Act provides that this Act shall not apply to change or af- fect the compensation of any County Prosecuting Attorney now or hereafter receiving,compensa- tion or fees under any law of the State of Florida other than under said Section 5987. Section 5987 as amended by Chapter 19321 as noted above was reenacted in the Flo- rida Statutes 1941 as Section 34.11, which said reenacted Section does not contain Section 2 of Chapter 19321. In other words Section 34.11 simply provides for the compensation of the Prosecuting Attorney to be $$00.00 per annump $5.00 for each conviction 'and ten percent of each cash bond estreature. Chapter 20719, Acts of 1941, as amended by Chapter 220009 Acts of 19432 & Chapter 2280_, Acts 1945, approves, adopts and enacts the Florida Statutes 1941 and provides in See - tion 2 thereof that every Statute of a general and permanent nature enacted by'the State of Florida and every part of such Statute not included in the Florida Statutes 1941° -or recognized and continued in force by reference therein, is hereby repealed. Section 3 provides that no special or local law is hereby repealed. Chapter 19321 is a general Statute and since Section 2 thereof is not contained in the Florida Statutes 1941 that portion thereof was repealed by the enactment of the Florida Statutes 1941, At the time of the enactment of the Act creating a County Court, Section 59879 Re- vised General Statutes of Florida 1920 was the general Act providing compensation for the.Pro- secuting Attorney of the County Court. The punctuation and phraseology of See:tiond4 of Chapter 10072 shows that the salaries provided and the fee mentioned is for the Prosecuting Attorney 0 1 0 1 0 -7 257 ,of said Court who is to be appointed by the Governor and hold office until his successor shall II `;have been duly elected and qualified. Therefore the subsequently elected Prosecuting Al�torney • receives his compensation wader Section '5987 and even prior to the enactment of the Florida 1 1 0 1 Statutes 1941 he was entitled to the compensation allowed by the above Section as amended by the 1939 Acto yf there should be -any question about the phraseology of the above mentioned Section 4= then that portion of said Section fixing the compensation and fee is unconstitutionalg being In violation of .Article 39 Section 20 above quoted. This theory is substantiated by decisions of the Supreme Court in the following cases: 131 So.g Page 165; 128 So.9 Page 489; 99 So.t Page 804; 179 So.' Page 730, Chapter 7592' Acts of 1917 created the County Court of St. Lucie County and the Section .'therein with respect to the Prosecuting Attorney is verbatim with the Section of the Act creat— ,ling a court in Indian River County, The Prosecuting Attorney of St. Lucie County obtained a writ of Mandamus compelling the payment of the increased amount prier to the enactment of the !Florida Statutes 1941. i In view of the above it appears that there is no question concerning the matter and that funder the Florida Statutes 1941 the Prosecuting Attorney should be paid the compensation al.lowe�e iI suggest that for the month of December Judge Diamond submit a statement to the Board of Coun ty Commissioners based upon Section 34.119 Florida Statutes 1941.

Douglas Baker' Clerk Board of County Commissioners Indian River County Vero Beachl Florida Dear Mr. Baker: Mr. Shaw handed to me the letters to the board from Mr. Sherman N. Smith' Jr.$ and Mr. C. P. Diamonds and advised'me of the boardis request for our opinion in the matter. In the next to the last paragraph of the memorandum attached? it is stated that the pro- l� �secuting attorney of St. Lucie countyl under an identical legal provision., obtained a writ of mandamus compelling the payment of the increased amount claimed. If this is corrects it is: my understanding that the action of the circuit court in the case is the law in that cirleuitt and therefore the balance of the compensation due could legally be paid. I am returning herewith the correspondence. Sincerely yours, Bryan Willis Bryan Willis State Auditor Pursuant to the foregoing letters of Februay 79 1946 from Sherman N. Smith Jr, and ''Charles P.
