not remedy it, as its power is limited by
the constitution.
Austin and Dallas have notified us that
they will apply to the legislature to grant
their counties the authority to issue
bonds of the county for the purpose of
improving the roads. Can this be done?
We think not. Section 3 article s, con-
stitution says:
"Taxes shall be levied and collected
by general laws and for public purposes
only. No special privileges can be
granted; all the counties of the state
must be included in general law.
Section o, article s, constitution, de-
clares: tThe state tax on property, ex-
elusive of the tax necessary to pay the
public debt and of the taxes provided for
the benefit of the public schools, shall
never exceed 30 cents on the 500
valuation; and no county, city or
town chall levy more than % cents for
city or county purposes, and not to eX-
coed 10 cents for roads and bridges on the
500 valuation, except for the payment
of debts incurred prior to the adoption of
this amendment, and for the erection of
public buildings, streets, sewer and
other permanent Improvements, not to
exceed % cents ON the 500 valuation in
any one year, and except as in this con-
stitution otherwise provided.
The limitation of % cents for county
purposes and Is cents for roads and
bridges, precludes the use of any portion
of the % cents levied foy county purposes
for roads and bridges, even if there
should be Il surplus remaining in the
treasury after paying the current ex-
penses of the county. The % cents on
the 500 that may be levied for public
buildings, streets, sewers and other per-
manent improvements, applies to towns
and cities, and cannot by any possible
construction extend to the roads of the
county.
Sec. 3. Art. XI.-'The construction
of jails, courthouses and bridges, and the
establishment of county pOor-hOuses and
farms, and the laying out, construction
and repairing of county roads, should be
provided for by general laws.
The legislature under the present con-
stitution can do nothing more than has
already been done. Shall we have a
constitutional convention and insert
clause authorizing the counties to issue
bonds for the improvements of the roads?
If so, l would suggest that the principle
of local assessments be inserted i'll order
that an equitable apportionment be made
according to the benefits received, other
wise the commissioners would never agree
upon the road or roads to be improved.

OF the San Antonio District.
EDITOR EXPREss-Much rain in Texas
makes the roads bad, and much hard
swearing is done, of which the legislature
gets full share. Let us see if the legis-
lature can do any more than it has done
for the roads of the country. Under the
present law the roads are laid out and
established by the commissioners court i,
overseers are appointed, the hands as
signed 20 the road in their respective
neighborhoods, and may be ordered to
work the same five days in the year. All
men between the ages of eighteen and for
ty-tive are subject to road duty. This in
cludes the stranger of fifteen days res
idence in the precinct. In addition to
that work, the commissioners court is
authorized to levy a tax, not to exceed Is
cents on the 500 valuation of the proper
ty of the county. This tax of 10 cents is
the maximum allowed by the amended
constitution of 1898, and in pursuance
thereof the legislature of 1884 authorized
the commissioners court to levy the full
amount If this tax is not levied it is the
fault of the commissioners court. If
the amount realized from this tax of 10
cents is insufficient, the legislature can

Special to the Gazette.
SwEETwATER, Ten, Dec. 19.-Two
boys from Tom Green county named Sill
vester Harcroed and Tom Warren came
to town last week and before leaving
were both pretty full. As they passed
the residence of f. B. McBurnett, about
ten miles southwest of this place, they
stole two hound puppies belonging to Nc
Burnett and took them off. When the
owner discovered his loss he came at once
to town and made affidavit before County
Attorney Herd against the boys for theft
of the dogs. Sheriff johnson at once
went for them and III twenty-four hours
they were languishing in jail. County
Judge Hams decided in the examination
to hold them for misdemeanor only
whereupon the boys plead guilty to the
charge and the court fined them. They
will probably settle up this morning and
20 home, possibly sadder and certainly
wiser boys then when they came here last
week.
We are having and have had for a
long time about the finest weather
imaginable, and everybody expresses
himself as truly thankful for the great
blessing.
Home-seekers are bocking to this por-
ton of the west now. All that is lacked
now is favorable land legislation, such rs
will enable the home-hunter without
much money, but with health, industry
and thrift, to settle on and purchase
home with the assurance that should a
drouth or other misfortune overtake him,
his land would not be forfeited because
he could not pay his interest in advance.

Special to the Gazette.
DECATUR, Ten, Dec. I9.-Justice
Anderson after hearing all the evidence
against 81. 7. Stepp upon examining
trial for the stabbing of Garrison at AL
word, found that he acted in pure self
defense and turned him loose without
bond.
The city council met in adjourned ses-
sion last night and set the mayors salary
at S240, and passed an ordinance
authorizing the issuance of S20,-
900 of $50 bonds not to be
sold for less than par and not to bear
more than per cent. interest, payable
semi-annually and appropriating the
money received for said bonds for the
improvement of the streets, alleys and
public square of the city. This will en-
able the council to put all the principal
streets in the city in excellent condition.
A committee of aldermen was appoint
ed to investigate and report
at next regular meeting upon
the ACCESSIBILITY Of dividing the
city into wards and, if advisable, the
number of wards and their boundaries.
None of the money appropriated for
street purposes is to be used until after
the first of next April so as to allow the
matter to go before the people at the next
election, which will enable them to elect
aldermen who will spend the money in
accordance with the wishes of the major
ity of the people
