NOVEL SUIT FROM oCoNEE.
Motion Made to Restrain Clerk from
Collecting Auto License Tax.
(Anderson Mail, Sth.)

II Soh holl lhs
A novel case was brought before
Judge Geo. e. Prince at chambers at
his home on West Whitner street at
10 o'clock this morning, and the peo-
pie Of Oconee county as well as many
in Anderson county will watch with
interest its termination.
At the last session of the General
Assembly Representative Frank II.
Shirley secured the passage of a spe-
cial act requiring automobile owners
in Oconee county TO pay an annual
license to the Clerk of Court. The
license on small automobiles was
placed at IS, while the amount on
larger machines was placed at $40.
The money to be derived from these
licenses, about $4,000, would be ap-
piled to the road fund Of the county.
There are about 100 machines in the
county.
This was part of the plan Of Mr..
Shirley's to increase the road fund
from about $4,000 annually to an
proXimately $4,000 to $4,000, the
balance of the increase to come from
an increase in the property tax levy
Of about " mills, and from an in
rease in the communication road tax
from 81 to So.
The automobile licenses were to
be paid on or before June 1st. Many
owners called on the clerk and Sc
cured their licenses, but many 9TH
ers, about 60 in number, decided to
contest, securing the services Of r..
I. Jaynes and w. j. Stribling, at
torneys, who appeared before Judge
Prince this morning asking for an
order restraining the Clerk Of Court
from enforcing the collection of this
license tan.
Mr.. Shirley, author of the bill, and
NJ. r. Mcdonald, an attorney Of Wal
halla, h is also a member of the
House Of Representatives, appeared
at the hearing this morning to resist
the motion of MessrS. Jaynes and
Stribling for the order.
Arguments were heard by Judge
Prince and written briefs we're filed
with him. He stated at the conclu-
sion Of the arguments that he would
reserve his decision and would an
nounce it later.
Representative Shirley stated to-
day that Oconee county has in w. c..
Foster one Of the best Supervisors in
the State, and If he is given some
funds with which to improve the
roads Oconee county's roads will
compare favorably with roads found
anywhere. Mr.. Shirley says that
marked improvements in the roads
have already been made by Mr.. Eos
ter.
The attorneys or both sides signed
an agreement to the effect that the
hearing Of the motion for a restrain
ing order before Judge Prince in An
dersOn would be the same as if heard
in Oconee county. In other words,
the location Of the hearing was
waived by them.
