COUNTY IS URGED ID
 LEVY A ROAD TAX
Board of Revenue Not ln- clined to Agree With
 Weatherly

The county commissioners were in state of obsession from the city com missoners yesterday or rather from the representative of the latter in the per son of Commissioner James Weatherly who came to request that the Jefferson county board of revenue avail itself of a certain statute whereby the county may levy a tax of one mill for the pur- pose of building roads. The statute fur ther provides that the city of the said county is entitled to one-half of the rev. enue raised by the provision.
 According to a statement made by the board of revenue that body of comnis- sioners has not as vet avaed itself of the provisions of the statute. because it Is the plan of the board to make the forthcoming levy according to the con sttutional provision which allows a rate of five mills or one-half of one per cent to be fixed.
 II was the idea of Commissioner Weath- erly that the statute was mandatory and he therefore proceeded to show the coun- " commissioners wherein lay their duty insofar as the effectiveness of the act was concerned He was not given a def-l n!te answer by the board who state that they intend making thorough in- yestigation into the matter before they proceed to make use of this regulation
 n the laws for raising special tax. lr
 is probably the opinion of the board that they can maintain a satisfactory reve- nue by means of the constitutional pro vision without having occasion to re- sort to the statute book
