Road Law Discussed in Charlotte County.

AsPES WALL, Va. Dec. 9-iSpeciall-At a
meeting Of Aspen Wall Alliance, No. 252, 70,
day. number of rosd laws were discussed. All
present objected very decidedly to the PROPOSE
ton to borrow money on county bonds loI IN
ternal improvement.
Two plans were presented, each OF which con
tain some novel and interesting points Inc
first might have been styled the Omnibus
bill as II contained three provisions relating
10 our STATE and county taxes.
The first provision. TO eQuGilZe taxation upon
real estate. was 10 require the enrolment OF
mortgages, trusts. deeds and similar liens upon
the lands III the land book; and That each
should IA the prOportlonate part OF the gross
tax upon the assessed value OF the land.
The second provision, TO reduce the list OF
delinquent taxes. was 10 make the taxes OF ten
nants upon real estate lien upon the real estate
itself.
The third provision. the road law, vas 10
abolish the present compulsory road system
and for il substitute one requiring o tax 10 DO
levied npon the vehicle or beast Of burden or
both; aud with the road tax so raised 10 have
the road worked by contract.
4 he plan finally adopted was TO retain the
present compulsory system and TO render III
more efficient by making each and all planta-
ton teams subject TO one days work upon tho
roads each year and also to keep stated num-
Der Of HANDS employed upon the roads through
ont the year. the money to pay the road hands
TO be raised partly by curtsillng the expenses
Of the present system and the remainder by
direct taxation. And 10 was further resolved TO
ask the Legislature 20 make II mlsuemeanor
for person 10 fail 10 pay his road-tax. to be
punished by Imprisonment III the county All
not less than thirty days
While the above was finally adopted there
were some members who seemed b doubt the
efficacy OF some of the provisions and the
wisdom OF others.
