RECEIVES AUTO TAX.

County Treasurer George. A. New
man received as the first installment
sos the automobile tax collected by the
state of-1owas the sum Of SIS. .562. The
tax derived from the owners Of auto,
mobiles in the state is divided among
the different counties according to-
the the number of towns hips in each
county, irrespective Of the number Of
cars In the county. For @ example:
Polk comfy, in which is located the
city Of Des Moines, which alone has
man times as many cars as Delaware
county, receives the same amount Of
tax as does Delaware county, because
of the fact that Polk county has six
teen townships, the same number as
Delaware county. Treasurer Newman
states that the last apportionment of
the tax paid over, to the counties by
the state treasurer, will not be: nearly
as large as the first
