 The legislature of 1907 passed all izins the formation of road improve ment districts in Jefferson county by the county court thereof for the pur- pose of building, constructing, repair ing and maintaining public roads within such district Pursuant to the provisions of this act, road improve ment district No 1 of Jefferson county was formed, within the bounds of which appellant company owns cer- tain lands.
 After being duly organized said road district proceeded to improve what is known as Star City and Cornersvile road, an old established county road, by constructing thereon macadam road; and bonds amounting to $30O00 were issued, which were by resolution of the board of directors declared a lien upon the lands in said district
 This suit was instituted in the Jeff ferson chancery court by appellant company against said district. and the validity of said act is attacked The chancellor found that the nl- proveme being upon a county road already in existence and not the es- tablishin@ of a new road the eStab- lishment and work of the district were valid
 This court holds on appeal that said act is divisible; that so much thereof as authorizes the formation of the county into one district, and author izes the building and construction of new roads. is unconstitutional as in , fringine on the jurisdiction of the county court as established by the i constitution. Decree affirmed.

MERCURY
FEELS MUCH
DOWNCAST

And still the cold weather continues.
At II o'clock last night and at s o'clock
this morning the thermometer regis
tered 5 degrees below zero. AS early
as A. o'clock this morning 1t is said
that it was II degrees below zero.
There has been no further snow fall,
and there does -nt. seem to be a pros
pect of any more. This is fortunate for
the reason that another heavy snow
fall would tie up the railroads so that
there would be one of the worst coal
famines in the history of the region in
a few days.
The ice is said to be frozen thicker
than it has been in a number of years
and the sleighing is perfect. 1t is re-
ported that all of the local and Chi
cago wagon dealers are out of bob
sleighs and cutters owing to the heavy
demand for them.

BIG TASK
FOR STREET
CLEANERS

John f. kaufman, street commission
er, has a formidable gang of men
working under him these days owing
to the necessity of hauling away the
snow, especially in the business dis
trict. Yesterday Mr.. Kuhlman employed
thiry-two men, and had nine hired
teams In addition to the nine horses
in the department Inthe city proper
the snow IS being dumped on the Nc
HE property on Clinton and Holman
streets
I'VE have opened no less than forty
five miles of sidewalks since the heavy
snowfall of Christmas eve" said Mr..
kaufman. THE work on Christmas
day and by o'clock some of our horses
were played out owing to the deep snow
through which we had to plow. On
Sunday they lasted until o'clock in
the afternoon, and it was all we could
do to get some of them back to the
barn. We had to work from both
ends at the same time. The business
district had to be opened and the dis
trict outside of this had to be opened,
as well as to give the people a means
of ingress. We have the town fairly
well opened nov, although we are still
Dusty engaged IN haullnS away snow.
In some of the farthest outlying dis
triets we were not able to do anything.
In some cases we found only one or
two houses in a block. It is really up
to the abutting property owners who
own the vacant property. many of
whom live out of town, to clear the
sidewalks. In such cases we can only
do the best under the circumstances.
The most trouble that we have had
has been due to repeated falls of
snow, because as soon as we get the
sidewalks and streets, at Leaf, partially
cleared they are covered up with new
snow"

on an agreement between the attor-
neys.
George E. Ross, the attorney for the
road. said he thought that If the case
were brought to trial the railroad
would be eventually compelled to build
the road and plank it and he would
recommend to the superintendent that
the crossing be built
OF course it is not certain that the
superintendent Will act on Attorney
Ross sugges tion, but It is believed that
this practically ends the matter.
