Kent Makes Change.


The Kent Levy Court has made a new
move regarding the handling Of general
roads funds.
By q resolution agreed upon Tuesday
afternoon Of last week in special session,
hereafter no money is to be spent on
roads except the ten per cent. Of general
taxation raised for road purposes, and Of
course the hye per cent additional taxa.
tion raised for the permanent improve
ments Of the public highways
Heretofore, it is claimed. where. for in
stance in the sixth district although it
is applicable To al districts-there was
levied tax of 50 cents on the Sl0O Of
freeholdiugs. Five per cent Of this tax
vas for the permanent improvement Of
the pnbIic highways; ten per cent for
general road purposes. and forty per
cent. for county governmental expenses.
The ten per cent for general road re.
pair raised, IN the sixth district $500
This being found to be insufficient, the
would often draw on the
general county fund and probably got
Sl,000 more for roads in this manner. I
The new move is to keep each fund /
separate and make it applicable only TO (
he purposes for which it is levied.
