OF COUNTY
AFFECTED

The revenues OF Grady county may
be materially affected by the decision
Of the courts in the case, now pending
in Oklahoma City. of Neal P. Ander-
son and company VS.. the County
Weigher OF Oklahoma county.
The suit is friendly one and has
been brought to test the validity and
constitutionality of the law enacted by
the last Oklahoma legislature which
allows county weighers to charge five
cents per bale for weighing cotton in
all counties wherein cotton congresses
are maintained and operated.
From such charges of five cents per
bale the county weigher's salary shall
be paid, according TO the provisions Of
this law, and the residue, after the
payment of his salary turned into the
county wherein the cotton was
weighed and made part of the reye-
nues of that county.
In Grady county this matter VIII
mean a considerable amount, accord
ing to information given out by John
venable, the county attorney. and Lee
McReynolds, the county weigher. With
the large compress at Chickasha, the
cotton receipts in this county have
been kown to run to 10000 bales per
annum. while 100000 bales is said to
make only fair average of the annual
number Of bales handled in this city
Last year the number run as low as
G., 900. and this year it will reach, even
with the present short cotton crop
not less than $4,000 bales, it is claimed
This number of bales may be expected
here this season, it is alleged, OF ac
count of the fact that number OF
the smaller congresses in this section
of the state will remain closed during
the present season.
Placing the average at 100000 bales
wear in and year out Mr.. Venable
states, the county of Grady will derive
an annual revenue, after Mr. Mercy
nolds' salary of 81 200 shall have beer
paid, Of $500
