Among the last opinions handed
down in the supreme court by Judge
w. G. Marshall, befo&e his retirement
from the bench was one of impor-
lance, to the state generally. BY
this decision he declared the consti-
tutional amendment adopted in No
vember, 1900, to be unconstitutional.
This law allowed county courts to
levy fifteen cents on the 500 valua-
ton for road improvement purposes,
which was an increase of five cents
over the old levy. Many OF the
counties have made this new levy and
some confusion may result from the
decision.
