The Road Tax.

Although the road ordinance
goes into effect on January |, 1902,
the per capita tax and license tax
are due and collectable on the first
day of September, and become de-
linquent on the first day OF October.
Contracts, however, will be sold
in January, and, we presume, the
parish will borrow money to pay
the contractors, in anticipation OF
the revenues.
The Clarion volunteers this in-
formation because it knows that
there is an uncertainty throughout
the country as to when the law be-
comes operative, and when they
are to pay their road taxes.
