answer. The Leg stature at its last session
passed IN act levying Il tax of on" dollar ms
heretofore on every POLL which goes to the

to pay this ,wo dollar tax? They are n body
corporate and separate 50 fnr rs ROAD and
street duty is concerned and Of course men
who pay street tax in the towns will not
want to pay road tax in the country and
