DECISIONS HANDED DOWN
IN THE SUPREME COURT

Montgomery, February 3.-(Special J
Right of the city of Montgomery to col
lect from the county a certain part of the
special road and bridge tax levied by
the county in 1908 and 1909 was denied
by the Alabama supreme court today in
decision put out by that tribunal af-
hrming the Montgomery city court.
The city brought suit to recover 100000
from the county, as its part of the special
road and bridge tax. The county had
levied a tax of one-fourth of ! per cent
as provided for in section 215 of the con-
stitution of 1901.
The opinion in the case was written by
Chief Justice John c. Anderson, who
quoted a former opinion of the court, In
volving the same question, to the effect
that the word road as used in said
section 215 of the constitution applied
to rural roads and did not include city
streets"
Continuing, the chief justice said:
The ruling of the trial court. in holding
that the plaintiff (city of Montgomery
was not entitled to recover any part of
the tax in question was in accord with
the foregoing decisions of this court,
which are sound and to which we adhere
upon the present appeal.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-04

To say that the city cannot be taxed
to help keep up county roads because not
within the limits of the city would be as
narrow and illogical as a holding to the
effect that property owners in the coun-
try could not be taxed to keep up the
roads unless their lands were attingent
to said roads"
Associate Justice A. D. Sayre dissented
from the opinion of the court.
The supreme court, In an opinion by
Judge deGraffenreid, decided that hence
forth 1t would not review any decisions
of the court of appeals relating to a state
ment of facts. The decision was put out
by the court on a petition for writ of
certiorarf to the court of appeals for the
higher court to review a case of small
Importance recently put out by the court
OF appeals The supreme court held that
henceforth it will only review the lower
courts decisions on questions pertaining
to points of law
Other decisions handed down by the
supreme court were as follows:

ert l.. Seals, extr., appeal from Lauder
dale circuit court, affirmed; deGraffen-
ried, j., dissenting

INDICATIONS ARE
|. UNDERWOOD WILL
. SWEEP TUSCALOOSA
Believed House Leader Will
Carry County by Over 500
Majority = Handbook
Will Be Distributed

Tuscaloosa, February Especially
Tuscaloosa county will cast not less
than 1000 votes in the coming primary
according to the best estimates obtain
able here. The number of poll taxes
paid this year was considerably in eX-
cess OF those paid in any previous
year, being 24OO.
From present indications. Tuscaloosa,
the banner county, and Tuscaloosa
city, the largest place In Hobson's dis
trict. will both poll a majority in the
coming race for Underwood The city
Of Tuscaloosa has always opposed the
political aspirations of Hobson, voting
against him two years ago more than
2 to l. Every indication now points
to even smaller percentage In the
coming primary. 1t was generally con-
ceded when the campaign opened that
Underwood would carry the city of
Tuscaloosa at least 2 to /, but recent
changes have served to greatly increase
that ratio.
The most pleasing thing to the I'm
derwood forces in this county has been
the failure of the country beats to
line up for Hobson, as was predicted
early in the race by the Hobson forces.
Every indication now Is that Under
wood will not only sweep the city of
Tuscaloosa, but he now seem to he
assured of good majority In the coun-
try beats. The lowest estimate which
Is now being placed on Underwood's
majority in this county is 500, while
many of the Underwood men claim a
higher majority.
The Underwood men are becoming
enthused over the prospects, and an ac-
tive fight is to be made in every beat
In the county from now until the cleo
ton. 1t is stated that several thou
sand copies of the Underwood handbook

ments.
1t was not stated yesterday what day
would be set aside for the entertain
ment for the children. but it will be
either Thursday or Friday The indica-
tions are that about 80 children will be
guests of DR.. Davidson on this occa-
sion. The ladies in charge of the Tur-
key dinner We're enthusiastic over the
plan of DIR. Davidson to entertain the
Mercy Home children. 1t is stated that
some extra ''fixings, will be provided for
the kids to the end that they will not
soon forget the unusually good time ac-
corded them by DR.. Davidson and the
ladies cooperating with him.
The dinner served yesterday by the La
dies Aid society was largely attended.
The crowds We're handled with the very
best SYSTEM however, and none were
allowed to depart unserved The dinners
will be continued the remainder of this
week.
