MONEY COLLECTED
 ON THE ROAD TAX
COUNTY IN LAST FOUR MONTHS GETS OVER $14,ooo FROM THIS SouRcE-MANY MULES HAVE BEEN SOLD.

A total amount of s14,31O.45 was collect ed by the county authorities for road tax during the past four months, the sum be- ing in excess of any similar collections in the history of the county.
 The unusually large collections are due, to certain extent, to the new law mak- ing the tax 8. instead of g, after April 1. A large number did not pay their road tax by April l. and since then all paying it have had to give $3.
 Under the old road system the cost of maintaining the machinery, mules, etc., in road work was as follows, according to figures compiled by Capt. A. J. Tar rant chairman of the board:
 overseers $5OO0. foremen s12OO, feeding mules s500O, blacksmithing s70O, wear and tear on harness and tools s4OO; total, S12,- 300.
 Under the new system work will be done by contract and the chairman is of the opinion that it will result in a large saving to the county. The mules formerly used in road work and owned by the county have been sold for about s6O0O and the machinery will also be sold.
