INTERESTING LEGAL POINT.
Cannot Make County Pay for Share
of Paving.

Huntsville, August 2s.-(Special)-Ac-
cording to the decision of Chancellor w.
H. Simpson of the chancery court of
Madison county the city Of Huntsville
has no valid lien on the county court
house property for a part of the cost of
paving the streets around the public
square. The paving work was done about
year ago, costing about s21,OO0 for
which the county was assessed approx
imately one-third. The county commits
sioners declined to pay the assessment,
thereupon suit was instituted by the city
of Huntsville in the chancery court. The
county authorities demurred on the
grounds that the county courthouse prop
erty is not subject to lien in favor of
the city. The chancellor sustains the de-
murrer and in his opinion writes that If
there is any right in the complainant
and any liability in the county Of Madi-
son, the remedy for its enforcement is
in another forum The case will prob
ably be appealed by the city.

The county commissioners adjourned
court today. For the past week they
have been considering the purchase of
modern road machinery and contrary to
general expectation decided not to make
the purchase. The machinery was being
considered because it was thought it's
use would prove much more economical
than mules and wagons in the handling
of road material. After a thorough trial
the commissioners concluded that the
saving would not justify disposing of
the present equipment at loss and that
it would be wise to defer action in the
matter until some advantageous dis
position could be made of the mules and
tools now in use.
