PICK COUNTY ROADS
COMMISSIONERS TO ACT SOON,
8. HI. MCCULLOUGH SAYS.
Board, In January, Probably VIII
Name Highways to Be Main-
tanned by Motor Tax.

Although Dickinson Is one OF the
26 counties in which the county
commissioners have not designated
county roads, and although Attor-
ney General Dawson has announced
that he will bring mandamus action
against the commissioners OF those
26 counties If they do not designate
the roads, this county need not wor-
ry. s. H. Mccullough, chairman OF
the county commissioners, said this
morning that the board would
probably at its meeting in January
designated the county roads. At
the present time none has been
named by the commissioners.
"At the present time the county
is helping to maintain about 15O
miles of road" Mr.. Mccullough
says.
With the county's share OF the
income from the state motor vehicle
tax, the county commissioners are
according to the law, bound to
designate certain roads as county
highways, and the county's share OF
the vehicle tax must be used to
maintain these roads. This has
not been done in Dickinson county,
although the county has been help
ing with considerable road work.
The revenue available to the
county from motor vehicle tax
amounted to $3071.51. In the coun-
ty are 692 motor cars and 81 motor
cycles. These figures were taken at
the last compilation of the amount
received by the working of the state
tax.
A Topeka dispatch says: Man
damus actions against the county
commissioners of 26 Kansas coun-
ties will be brought by John 8.
Dawson, attorney general, II these
commissioners do not designate
county roads at their January meet
ings. These designated county roads
are to be maintained by the auto
mobile license tax fund.
The commissioners Of twenty-six
counties so far have neglected to
designate the county roads. Cen
eraI Dawson promised yesterday
that it would be county roads or
mandamus proceedings for these
county commissioners. In letter
to Charles H. Sessions, secretary Of
state, the attorney general calls at
tention to the fact that the costs in
such proceedings would come out Of
the pockets of the commissioners
themselves, and not from the coun-
ty treasures.
The good roads law passed by the
legislature of 1909 provided that In
every county the commissioners
shall designate certain county roads
connecting market centers, The au-
tomobile act Of 1913 provided that
the automobile license money should
be used exclusively to maintain these
roads.
