PUBLIC ROADS.

With every recurring Legislature the
question comes up: What can be done
togimproye the public roads of the State2
It is, in truth, a difficult question to
snswer, but the difficulty makes it all

cdhssion has been investigating the

rsGbers thereof have practically agreed
; % an act that will be presented at the
next session of the legislature. We
have not seen the report of the commis-
sion, but the Atlanta Constitution gives
the following synopsis Of it:
This act provides for the appointment
of..three commissioners in each township,
who shall have the power to select and
pay road masters. Farmers who choose
to work out their road tax will not be
permitted to work at their own convent
ence. They must notify the commission
OF their Intention before the 13th of
Aprli OF each year, and they will be re-
quired 10 report at such times aud places
as are designated by the road masters,
and, on failure to comply, their road tax
will become payable in cash.
The act also provides that, in addition
b the yearly mending of the roads. a
certain portion of the money collected
br this purpose shall be set aside for
permanent improvement. Wheneve,

THE ROANOKE LANDS.
(Scotland Neck Democrat. J


A gentleman who owns land on the
river remarked to US few days ago that
he has had many more Inquiries this
year concerning these lands than before.
He says that Philadelphia company
has made inquiries for as much as thir-
ty five thousand acres from the Graffiin
farm map. lt is contemplated by the
company to make a large stock farm.
We do not know what is going to he
done with these lands; but We know
they are valuable, and we intend that
this paper shall carry the news about
them until other people learn of them
too. And we are quite sure that our
persistence in this direction has already
directed attention to them, and We shall
continue it, whether any appreciation
is shown or not, and Notwithstanding
some may treat the matter lightly.

THE TERMINAL COMPANY.
The Right OF Richmond City to Tax Its
Prosperity Discussed.
RICHMOND, Va. April 8, 1901.

To tie Editor of the Dispatch:
Within the last few days the papers of
this city have mentioned that the question
of the taxation of the Terminal Company's
property was before the authorities at
West Point that resolution of the CON-
paDy. fixing that as its general Office, gave
that pushing little city the right to tax all
its property.
1t seems that the Legislature in granting
the wonderful charter of the Terminal
Company intended its principal Office to
be in Richmond, and go provided by re-
quiring its annual meetings to be held IN
Richmond on certain day.
A provision was made for changing The
day in its charter. but none for any change
of place.
The Terminal Company is still required
to hold its annual meeting of stockholders
in Richmond.
An individual can change his residence
ct will and can remove from this city or
state, but corporation chartered by this
State can not remove to any other its
residence and the taxation of its personal
property can not be removed. OF this the
taxation cases against the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company are instances,
If the Legislature has not located the
principal Office of the Terminal Company
here. II evidently intended TO do so, and
its attention should be called to the fact at
its next session and proper legislation be
asked to enforce Its imperfectly expressed
intent.
But would il not be well for the city Of
Richmond TO have some investigation or
judicial decision as to the night to tax the
entire property?
If West Point is legally entitled TO have
the tax on the 100000 900 of stock and
bonds owned by the Terminal Company let
her have it; but if Richmond is the legis-
lative home of the company abe should
have the tax on the favors which flow
from its remission or should do so.
Without making full investigation of
the questions involved think it can be
safely SAID that no court could possibly
hold from the charter of the company that
any other place but Richmond was intend
ed for its principal Office.
The courts would probably hesitate and
refuse TO allow corporations having the
powers for good and evil now so often
granted to locate, against clearly;ex;;
pressed legislative intent, the principal
Office at any place elsewhere fixed only by
their sweet WILL" WILLIS Is. oAlTH.
