Will Decide How Much

One of the problems that the
county board is wrestling with during
its present session is determining and
fixing the amount to collect from
each individual between the ages of
Il and SO years of age as road poll
tax. The amount was fixed at So
but under the present law the board
must fix the amount at not to exceed
S4. The new law is optional whether
the amount is to be fixed from five
cents to 81.
The board may also designate that
the tax collector may also collect
the road poll tax and in this event
the law provides that the money
must go into the general road fund
OF the county, except in cases where
the amounts collected are from any
city village or incorporated town.
then IS per cent of the amount must
be allotted to the road fund of such
city, village oa incorporated town.
