would be q special law in contra
vention of this, and by many law
yers is deemed to be unconstitution-
al. The further agitation OF this
question may, therefore, lead to one
of two results: Either the town
would be relieved of keeping up
the first mile of road and an uncon-
stitutional levy of IL cents substi-
tuted, which the courts, on the mo-
ton Of any taxpayer, would de-
clare null and void, and thus the
town escape both provisions; or, if
the law were constitutional, by rea-
son of the great opposition that has
arisen to the change, an agitation
would enevitably start which at
some future Legislature would
cause Lexington to be put under the
general law, as above noted, and
the effect of that would be to relieve
the town from both keeping up the
mile and paying the IL cents taxes
1t would be very difficult for the
county to convince the Legislature
that Lexington should be treated
differently from other towns and
should not be given the benefit of
the general law of the State.
In view of the facts above, TIE
GAZETTE believes that it will be
better for the town and better for
the county that the mile of road re-
main under the control of the town,
and that a specific tax be laid by
the Town Council, if necessary, in
order to maintain the roads. The
money thus raised by taxation
would be spent under the direction
OF the town authorities.
We believe, as we stated in a
former article on this subject, that
the Town Council and the Board of
Supervisors are trying to solve the
problem to the satisfaction of the
greatest number of people and for
the betterment of the roads in ques-
ton, but we believe that transfer
ring the roads to the county and
substituting tax by the comfy on
town property would be an unwise
step.

AS TO THE MAINTENANCE OF
LEXINGTON ROADS

ton Town Council and the Board Of
Supervisors of Rockbridge, to
amend Section As OF the Charter of
Lexington, which provides for
transferring the responsibility of
maintaining the roads within one
mile of the corporate limits of the
town, and which was introduced in
the House of Delegates by Mr..
White, has been reported to the
Legislature by the committee, we
are informed, without recommends
ton.
THE GAZETTE feels that this i'm
portant question, fraught with so
much possibility OF danger, should
be understood and we'll considered
before final action is taken.
In the spring of 1874, when the
amended Charter of Lexington was
before the Legislature, it was OPP
posed by the Board Of Supervisors
of Rockbrldge, until the matter was
compromised by the town agreeing
to maintain this mile of road, in ad-
dition to the maintenance OF it's
streets,
In 1894 special road law was
passed for Rockbridge county, the
general scheme of which was that
each district should maintain its
own roads, but required the Board
of Supervisors, out of the general
funds of the county, to distribute
amongst the districts outside OF
Lexington $4,744 annually, to be
expended on roads. In 1897 the
Town of Lexington filed a bill in
the Circuit Court of Rockbridge,
complaining OF this, because Lex
ington was exempt from road tax
vet the town contributed its share
Of the $4,744, but got none back.
Judge Wexford decided that an
injustice was done the town, and
that the county must raise the
$4,744 by tax, none of which could
be imposed on the town. By agree
ment between the attorneys for the
county and town, for the first year
after that decision, the county i'm.
posed 8 cents less of the general
levy on Lexington, to reimburse,
than on the county; and this differ,
ence was maintained until 1909
when the town filed it's petition Il
the Board of Supervisors, alleging
that for the years 1907 and 1908 tn,
Board of Supervisors, instead of APP
propriating $4,744. had appropria
ted 50, 488 for 1907 and $4,000 70
1908; that the town had contributes
its share of the $19, 48S, less tn
$4,744 for each year (or 50, 488 70
the two years., for which cent
had been deducted, and elaine,
that the town was entitled to be re
funded the sum it paid, whicl
amounted to about $1,000. TIL
matter was referred to a committe
or the Board, and no action wa
taken until recently. when a
agreement was reached with CON
mittee from the Town Council t
the proposed change in the Tow
Charter, on condition that tn
town was to give up its claim t
any share of the $4,000.
In the Acts OF the Legislature
1908, Pages 40 and All, the Boar
of Supervisors are forbidden to lev
a road tax upon the property will
in the corporate limits of any incol
porated town which maintains ii
own streets. The proposed actio

LOCAL = MILK CONCERN HAS
GROWN TO CAPACITY OF OVER
400 GALLONS PER DAY.

The Fairmont Dairy Company, after
extensive improvements which have
been under way for several weeks,
will begin the manufacture of It's own
ice Thursday or Friday of this week.
The company has built s1.20O-ice-
plant for its own use only. The COM
2anys has also built hardening room,
where ice cream will be hardened
without the use of ice. The harden
ing room is adjoining the EGGPLANT
and the freezing Temperature from the
cold.storage is conveyed to the apart
ment where the cream is frozen.
The EGGPLANT of the company will
have capacity, when fully under
way, of 200 tons Of ice every ten hours.
This will be sufficient to supply the
dairy with ice, but will not give them
an oversupply for sale, nor do the
members OF the concern wish to en-.
gage in the. manufacture Of ice for
selling purposes. The capacity of the
ice-cream plant is 200 gallons of cream
every ten hours. BY storing the cream
in the hardening room no ice whatever
is needed.
The Fairmont Dairy Company has
grown steadily since its establishment
in 1909. From fifteen gallons of milk
a day 1t has reached capacity of
more than 400 gallons with good pros
pects for an increase.
a The Fairmont Dairy Company will
make other improvements in its plant
from time to time. 1t Occupies Its own

OUR STATE FARMS.

1t is doubtful If more important
question could be raised in connection
with our State penal, reformatory and
eleemosynary institutions than that of
the possibilities of making them more
nearly self supporting by proper cul.
tivation of the State farms belonging
to the institutions. A number Of bene.
FITS arise from such management.
There are many inmates OF these State
institutions who ought notof their
own sakes to be idle and the farm
gives healthful and profitable employ
iment for them. Such employment
aids very materially in the mainte-
nance Of the institution which is a
very important matter as the cost of
provisions for SO many people is enor.
nous. Again, the proper care OF State
farms furnishes good object lessons
on scientific agriculture for many
farmers of the State who can visit the
State farms and get points Of value In
connection with their work at home.
