law as interpreted BY Attorney General
CARRIER came yesterday when the Mont
gomery County Board OF Revenue rast.
That body. in letting contracts for The
grading and graveiing OF certain dirt
roads In the county made an agreement
with one Of the bidders on the Mobile
Road Job contingent upon the contrac-
tors securing low rates from the rail-
roads II IL szsderstood that the carr
riers stand ready to offer the special
rates for the county, II the Railroad
Commission will give them permission
to do So
Thus. It is believed there win be no
hitch in graveiing and grading the nine
miles on the Mobile Road.
The section of the railroad law OF
1907 allowing determinations in hauls
for State and municipalities reads as
follows:
Nothing In this act shall prevent the
carriage. storage or handling Of prop
erty free or at reduced rates for the
cipality. or for charitable purposes. or
or from fairs and expositions for ex-
hfbitions thereat." etc.

Secretary, 8. p. Kennedy, wrote the
Attorney General for definition Of

ties uuQere. Ine Lorfn iHuulCtPatANy.
The Attorney-General answers afiirma-
lively. He cites several authorities In

his opinion.
the following is copy of the opin-
ion in full:

The oldest veteran in Macon county
proves to be Coleman H. Tucker, who
was a private I'm Company A, In Major
Ready's Battalion. He was born JAM
uary 1. 1919. in Ebert County. Ca.
One of the general observations of
the records filed in the last two days
Is that many OF the veterans living
in the counties mentioned emigrated
originally from the Carolinas and
Georgia and Virginia.
Director owen said yesterday he ex~
pected that from now on the reports
of the assessors will be coming in rap
idly. The officers have until August
., 1908, in which to file the reports.
but II is not believed that all this
period will be taken up with the work.
1t is hoped. at least, by DIR. Owen. that
the assessors will complet their enum-
GRAFTON and file the records long prior
to Auugst.
These new duties of the tax asses
sors were required by an act passed
by the last Legislature and when final
ly performed will give an accurate
compilation of the names, ages. style
Of service, births date and places of
enlistment and how much service ter
minated. whether by parole. discharge.

ties plain ana facIlitate the work Di-
rector Owen several months ago pre-
pared and mailed TO the assessors
circular letter which has served as an
excellent guide for making the enum-
erationsss
object of Census.
The objects of this census to be
taken by the sixty-seven counties OF
Alabama are both practical and sem
timenfal Hundreds of inquiries are
arising, involving the whereabouts OF
surviving veterans of the War OF Seces-
sion. when the enrolment is complet-
ed these inquiries can invariably be
answered The records, moreover,
enable many a needy survivor to make
proof of service, upon which to secure
relief by pension or otherwise where
II cannot now be made.
Two 6sof the records prepared by
each county assessor will be kept on
Ale. one with the county and one with
the state Department Of Archives and
History.
