made of Mayor OyerhOlscr TO present

the passage of an ordinance cstab-
fishing % board Of ccnsors. The mayor
has said that he would be guided by
the wishes Of the ministers and others.
The request for "a censorship was
brought recently when a certain NOV

known as inspiration" showing

INHERITANCE TAX SUIT
tn. Suprsm. Court How Has Case From Sharp
County Involving Inheritance Tax

A case of interest is now pending
in the supreme court on appeal
from the circuit court OF Sharp
county.
Some months ago Atty. W, 7,
Gray brought a suit in probate
court here, in the name Of the state
of Arkansas, against 7. |. Herrn, as
administrator Of the estate of Jas.
P. Cochran, deceased, for a certain
per cent of the Cochran estate, un-
der the inheritance tax law, a COM
paritively new act. The probate
court, Judge Allen Gay presiding,
gave a judgment for the state of
Arkansas, and Mr.. Herrn appealed
to circuit court, where the lower
court was reversed. The state then
appealed to the supreme court
The contention Of the estate Is
that the inheritance tax Is due
from each heir on an amount above
the exemption named in the act,
while the contention Of attorneys
for the state Is that the tax Is due
from the estate as a bulk, and an
official determination Of the ques-
ton will be Of interest,

CONTRACT is LET TO
REBUILD BRIDGES
Work Soon To Begin On The
Three Bridges Washed
Down By Big Flood.

County Judge W. T. Horn has
contracted with the A. L. Greenberg
Iron Co. Of Terre Haute, Ind, to re-
place the county bridges at Hardy,
Williford and Poughkeepsie, which
were washed down by the flood in
August.
AT Hardy a new 220-foot span
will be required, the old steel being
useless and some of it gone, and
the company agrees to furnish this
span, all tools necessary to put the
entire bridge in proper position and
superintend the work of erection
for $4,000, the county to furnish the
labor that is required to do the
work. The company will be paid
for this work as follows: July IS,
1916, $1,000; July Is, 1917, $1,000;
July IS, 1918, $1,000, all without in
terest. For this work the Lorimer-
Bureett Bridge Co. of Memphis bid
$53OO.
AT Williford and Poughkeepsie
the company will furnish all tools
necessary to get the bridges out Of
the water and a man to superintend
the work Of replacing them for SIS a
day, the county paying for all the
labor. The Memphis company bid
$1,000 for this work, and Judge Horn
believes the bid Of the Indiana CON-
pany is the cheaper by $500.
Work on all three bridges is to
be begun during the next two
weeks and, if favorable weather en-
sues, it is believed the bridges will
be ready for use by the first Of the
year. AT Hardy $3.50 has been
subscribed in money and labor to-
ward the erection of the bridge;
$500 has been subscribed at Wilt
ford, and $3.50 at Poughkeepsie
and these amounts will 90 far to-
ward furnishing the labor necessary
to replace the bridges. =
When these contracts. are anal
yzed properly we believe it willbe
generally conc ded that Judge Horn
has handled the bridge situation
nicely, and made better contracts
than many people thought he would
be able to make. - p".n FF
