We think that the persons who

before him, then the police could
investigate, and if necessary have
the suspects brought before the

Must Not Be Supervisors.

In reversing a judgment of the
Boyd Circuit Court in case of
Boyd county against Jack Arthur
and others, the Appellate Court
Friday ruled that the Fiscal Court
lis without authority to authorize
its members to serve as supervisors
of roads for the county and cannot
be paid for such work. 1t further
holds that the statute contemplates
the appointment Of but one super
visor of roads by the Fiscal Court,
and not one for each magisterial
district, and that the Fiscal Court
has no authority to allow its mem
bers any other compensation than
that fixed by law.
