ROAD MATTERS TAKEN UP.

The Fiscal Court transacted some
very important business at its meet
ing this week. Besides the monthly
routine matters attended to, the
County levy was fixed and the years
work on public roads planned and
steps taken to make it busy year.
The matter of establishing tu-
bereulosis district in Christian coun-
ty was acted upon favorably. This
question was voted upon last fall and
some months ago the court assured a
committee of the H. B. M. A., APP
pointed to wait upon it, that the
matter would be considered at the
April meeting. The court in fixing
the levy set aside one-half cent on
each 500 of assessed property to
create special fund to buy a site
and erect and equip building. This
is expected to raise about 5000. This
amount will of course have to besup-
plemented by other funds and dona-
tions. The one-half cent is taken
from the road and bridge fund. The
law requires that the action be re-
ported to the State tuberculosis AS
sociation. which has voice in select
ing the site.
The tax levy was continued at 80
cents on the 500 divided as follows;
