Abilene automobile owners will
pay a tax of over $500 into the
general fund of Dickinson county
under the present state automobile
registration law. Harrington will
play $1S6.
The other cities of the county,
Chapman, Manchester, Solomon,
Woodbine, Enterprise and Hope,
will have the money raised by the
tax returned into their treasures.
This is because Abilene and Her
ington are second class cities, and
pay no township tax. as do the other
cities, which are third class.
Because the cities OF Abilene and
Harrington do not have any of the
money returned to them the county
commissioners offered Monday to
help defray their expenses in drag
ging roads.
This afternoon Mayor Nichols
conferred with the commissioners
and accepted the offer. Each quar-
ter the city will turn in its bill for
dragging roads, and the commission
ers will refund half Of whatever 1t
has cost. 1.-THE amount will depend
entirely upon the frequency of rain
said the mayor. Some quarters II
will be more than others, but the
total for the year will run in the
Meighborhood of 5000, according to
the estimate of the city engineer
The city commissioners recently
placed In operation system of drag
ging the principal highways after
each rain. Rains, according to the
average, occur twenty times yearly
and the cost OF a years dragging
was estimated at 5000. OF this
amount the county will pay half,
according to the statement of S.
H. Mccullough, made this morning.
''All we want is the assurance

dragging" he said. Every cent OF
the money raised in Dickinson coun-
ty by the automobile tax is to be
used in dragging roads, and for no
other purpose. 1t Is only fair that
Abilene and Harrington should have
part of the money returned to
them
On March first there were "a ma
chimes in Abilene, according to the
figures Of the assessor. This would
make tax of $399.50 for the gen.
eral fund of the county, but since
that time enough machines have
been sold to increase the amount to
$3.50. AS the number of machines
increase the amount Of money re-
turned by the county will increase,
In series of years the saving ef-
fected would amount to a consid-
cradle figure, and with the county's
offer accepted the city would have
good reason to continue the sys-
tenn OF dragging recently undertake
en-.
Nearly $4,000 will be spent in the
entire county for dragging roads
during the ensuing year. On the
First of March there were Sit ma
chimes, but $50 licenses were issued
under the state law which went in
% effect July first, and few ma
chimes have not yet made applica-
ton.
In March first the machines were
distributed over the county as fol-
lows, the amount raised by the tax
given in the column at the right:
