GRADY, <br />Assistant Attorney General. <br />58-G <br />Equalization — Council members are not entitled, for their services on board, <br />to extra compensation over that prescribed by § 412.181, M. S. 1949 — <br />M. S. 1949, §§ 274.01, 412.181, subd. 9. <br />Facts <br />M. S. 1949, § 412.181, prescribes the schedule of salaries of the mayor <br />and trustees in villages of this state. <br />Subd. 9 of that section prescribes that in any village to which that <br />subdivision is applicable "the salary of the mayor is fixed at $2 per day or <br />meeting for each day's service necessarily rendered or meeting attended, <br />with a maximum of $30 per year, and the salary of each trustee is fixed at <br />$1.50 per' day or meeting for each day's service necessarily rendered or <br />council meeting attended, with a maximum of $20 per year." We gather <br />from the tenor of your inquiry that subd. 9 of § 412.181 is applicable to the <br />Village of Albany. <br />Question <br />"May members of the village council be paid for services rendered <br />on the board of review under M. S. A., Sec. 274.01 ?" <br />Opinion <br />M. S. 1949, § 274.01, provides that the governing body of each village <br />shall be a board of 'review. <br />The members of the village council, acting as a board of review under <br />§ 274.01, are not entitled to any compensation other than that which they <br />are entitled to receive under § 412.181 for their services as village officers. <br />In other words, for their services on the board of review they are not entitled <br />to extra compensation over and above that prescribed by § 412.181. <br />LOWELL J.
