REPORTS ON CHOCTAW
COUNTY a, OFFICIALS KEEP
 CLEAN BOOKS.
Examiner wilkinson Says That Lands are Assessed at Fully
 S4 an Acre Under Their Value.

Judge W. F. Wilkinson, assistant ex. aminer of public accounts, yesterday sub. mitted reports upon the books of the officials of. Choctaw county. All the off, ficials fared well at the hands of the examiner, barring the fact that he drew attention to tho extremely low valuation of lands assessed for taxes in that coun- ty. -e-r.'
 - Judge. Wilkinson had rather a trying trip to Choctaw. It is the only county in the State through which a railroad does not run. The boundaries of Choctaw county are not even touched by a rail- road. It was necessary sfor the examiner to ride thirty miles in a private convey ance. over roads made almost irppassa- ble by continued rains. The return trip had to be, made in the same way.
 partial; examination of, the books of O. l.. Gray, superintendent of education was made. full examination not being possible becaise of the illness and ab- sence of the superintendent Tho exami- nation as far as it went showed that the books were correct.
 Sheriff A. B. Cook, Tax Collector T. A. Littlepage. Circuit Clerk W. H. Lind sey, Probate Judge Charles E. Mccall, were all given clean sheets The exam iner reported that their books were eor- rect and kept in compliance with the law. .f
 The books of Tax Assessor W. T. Spen- cer were reported to contain a few minor errors which were corrected. The tax valuation of lands in Choctaw have in- creased from $l 50 an. acre in 1900 to g. for this year. The examiner says that tbts valuation is about s4 less than it should be.

place has been under way during the past week and the work is being pushed to completion.
 When this work is tinished one of the most desirable suburban sections of Montgomery will be opened to the pub lie. The addition Is to be known as Capitol Heights" and it gives promise of becoming a popular district for homes. Assurance is given that line of street railway will be constructed over the ex- tension of Madison avenue and that the new residence district will be provided with lights, water, a sewerage system and other modern conveniencee.
 A number of well known citizens of Montgomery own beautiful homes on the Mount Meigs road. For some time they have complained of conditions that exist ed in what is known as the Red Bridge Road district. of Montgomery. Here there are numerous saloons and dives which make the section objectionable to drive through The residents of the Mount Meigs road have been compelled to drive through this section to reach the city. The opening of Madison ave- nue will overcome their objections.
 Those who are promoting the extension of Madison aveIue declare their. inten- tion to make it one of the most attrac- tive roads in the county and the work is being hurried, forward. It will be completed before the summer months have gone.

OPENING THE AVENUE
WORK ON MADISON EXTENSION
 UNDER WAY.
Promoters Propose to Make It One of the Most Attractive of Mont
 gomary Drives-New Resi- dence District.

It is probable that county teams and
 iaborers will begin early in this week
 the work of grading the extension of
 Madison avenue which Is to be made
 one of the most attractive thorough
 fares of the many good roads leading
 from Montgomery.
 The project of opening Madison avenue
 from Jackson street to the Mount Meigs
 road, distance of nearly two miles,
 was hrst advocated by Albert F. Wilson,
 Massey Wilson and J. S. Pinckard. who
 some time ago acquired large property
 interests adjacent to the city and lying
 on the. Madison avenue extension. 2ssx Madison avenue, 1t will be recalled, so
 far as it's use Is concerned. ends at It's
 Intersection with Jackson street. Here it has been cut off by. what is known as
 the Powers property, its extension from sefhis point being little more than an all gcs ley which led to a deep declivity forming '1sa ravine at the bottom of which the tracks of the Central of Georgia Rail
 road are laid through a cut
 Perhaps the real reason, why Madison s~ -ayenue has not been extended was be- sr.s cause of the expense of bridging this sssnldeep ravine and purchasing the Powers ssgsi property.
 astsEs These obstacles were overcome by slsSf AEessrs. Wilson and Pinckard pledging 1ss Themselves to the City Council to build
 . bridge across the ravine providing the Council would acquire the Powers prop eg erty so as to increase the width of the .sF avenue at the point where the extension sas ts to begin.
 sss Realizing the immense advantage to sie citizens living in the populous section of Nhe county east of Montgomery. of open sse ing this thoroughfare the Board of Rev.
 enue has agreed to assume the expense and responsibility of grading the ave- s,ne,pue from the railroad cut or eastern ap- vItrproach to the bridge to the point where -nostt intersects with the Mount Meigs road Q hear what is known as the Moulton l1 place.
 Messrs. Wilson and Pinckard have s- awarded a contract for the grading on -srrAhe Western approach to the bridge and .asaa contract for the construction of the
 bridge itself is soon to be. awarded

Claims by the state of Nevada, claiming a
refund of s470,4141S advanced in aid of the

states to recruit troops and make all nee
essary expenditures. their accounts for

Department. Nevada, on attaining state
hood In 1864 incurred extraordinary ex-
penses in recruiting its quota OF troops, not
only paying bounty for enlistments, but
being compelled. because of the high wages
paid for labor In the mining states at that
time. to pay the volunteers an amount in
addition to the regular army pay. The
allowance of these expenditures have been
for many years a disputed matter in the
Treasury Department.
The present action is brought under acts
of Congress passed in 1902 directing the re-
adjustment of these accounts and a refer
