LINCOLN GETS $9,075
State Road Fund Apportioned Out
Among the Counties

Lincoln county gets the sum of
$9,O75 from the State Road fund to
supplement what the county will APP
propriate this year for reconstruction
work on the roads. A dispatch from
Frankfort Sunday said of the matter:
Thirteen counties will draw the full
amount allowed by law out of the
State road fund this year $13, 164, ac-
cording to estimate just completed
by Commissioner of Roads r. c. Ter
reyy. 1t is based upon the 1914 assess
ments and levy, excepting in a few
instances where failure of the coun-
ties to report made it necessary to
use the 1912 returns.
The counties which will draw the
full per cent. are: Bourbon, Camp
bell, Christian, Clark, Daviess, Fay
cite, Graves, jefferson, Kenton, Ma
son, McCracken, Nelson and Shelby.
The amount it is estimated each
county will receive from the State
road fund is based on the ratio the
road levy of that particular county
bears to the total levy for road pur-
poses of all the counties, $2,071,571.
The estimated road fund is $658,22O.
After apportioning the money on this
basis, balance of over 100000 was
redistributed within the limits of the
2 per cent, which is the maximum
any county is allowed to draw, and
also not exceeding the total amount
appropriated for State aid work, in
Guiding private subscriptions. In no
case was county allotted more than
it asked for State aid, as some por-
lions of the county levies naturally
will be used for other work than that
undertaken according to the law gov
erning State aid projects.
The amounts it is estimated each
county in this part of the. state will
draw from the State road fund fol-
lows:
Adair, $3,249; Anderson, $685.;
Bell, $8,671; Bourbon, $13,164;
Boyle, $40, 265; Casey, 81, $50; Clark,
$13,164; Clinton, $2,656; Garrard,
$8,346; Jessamine, S9,378; Knox,
$4,078; Knott, $1,000; Laurel, 49,
10; Lawrence, $4,434; Lincoln &c.
075; Madison, $12,461; Magoffin,
$4,000; Marion $6,616; McCreary,
$2,727; Mercer, SO, 189; Monroe $4,-
176; Montgomery, $4,000; Powell,
$2,333; Pulaski, $8,044; Rockcastle,

ONE ON THE ED

In a small town in New York state
a public official resigned and sent a
copy of his resignation to the editor
of the local daily. A day later he flung
himself into the editorial sanctum,
fiourishing a copy of the sheet wildly.
t'What does this mean?" he rOared.
"Why," replied the editor, you
sent it in yourself"
'Certainly," sputtered the visitor,
"but l didn't think you would put it
in the column headed Public Im-
proYements."
