been fled in the supreme court py
me Cameron special road district
which has brought a mandamus SUIT
against the county court to require
the court to pay over to the treasurer
OF the road district proportion OF
the road funds collected In the coun-
ty. The suit is of great Importance
to special road districts throughout
the state. as It will settle the question
OF whether county courts have power
to discriminate against localities tnat
have these districts and wish good
roads, and favor districts whose over
seers may be political friends.
This county has three special road
districts. at Plattsburg, Cameron and
Lathrop, three important cities. where
in reside three-fourths OF the popula-
ton and who pay three-fourths OF the
taxes of the county.
The total levies for road ana
bridge purposes In the county. with
other road funds, exceeds $4,000
year. The county court permits the
expenditure by the commissioners OF
the road district of only the Decent
road tax levied on property In the
district and asserts the right to ex-
pend all other funds as they see mt.
Much of It goes for "tin" bridges ana
culvarts The special road districts
contend that, under the statute gov
erning special road districts, all funds
raised by taxation within the dis
tricts belong to and should be ex-
pended in the. special districts. The
case will be heard April 8.
