Listens to an Appeal From Murray for
Refund of Licenses.

At the meeting Of the board Of
county commissioners today, Attorney
Ray Van Colt appeared on behalf Of
the Murray city council and asked that
the county refund the unearned por-
lions of various licenses taken out by
merchants ana other business men OF
Murray prior TO Jan. 9, 1908, the date
when Murray became a city of the third
class
The refund was urged by Mr. Van
Colt for the reason that II would give
the new city IA immediate source OF
revenue. The merchants and business
men IN general are anxious that thu
refund be made as Il would save a
great many OF them from paying a
double license for the first quarter Of
the year as they will certainly have to
pay a city license TO Murray 10 addi-
ton to the county litenss. which a
great many OF them have already paid.
