AGO 1953 NO. 92 >

Inasmuch as section 1, chapter 213, Laws of 1941, requires the presentation of a petition to and the entering of an order of the superior court, it is our opinion that the fee to be charged by the clerk of the superior court should be that prescribed for civil proceedings, together with such other fees as are regularly charged parties commencing civil actions. Under the provisions of chapter 133, Laws of 1953, which provides for the entry of the decree by the superior court regarding the sale, lease or other disposition of public property, it is our opinion that the fee to be charged by the county clerk should be that prescribed for civil proceedings.
