nounced the appointment of the fol-

The law and insurance committee
OF the Chamber OF Commerce has
been al work investigating into the
feasibility of plan whereby tha
general funds can be used for good
road purposes, and will most likely
make its final report today. special
meeting OF the committee has been
called for o'clock this afternoon at
the rooms Of the Chamber OF Com
merce, and at this meeting the final
report Of the committee is expected
to be adopted.
From all sections of Jefferson
county come reports of activity IN
the matter of building good roads.
That dirt roads are 100 expensive,
directly and indirectly, appears to
have been decided, and as a result
there are now under way several
movements looking to the organize
ton OF Improvement districts, that
modern pixies may be built. j. sum
in excess of $4,000 per year is
being expended to maintain the dirt
roads in passable condition, yet the
repair work is only partially sue
eessful, because of natural condi-
tons. Turnpikes need little expendi-
ture for upkeep, and as a result the
greatest expense is the initial out
lay The plan expected to be report
ed by the law and insurance commit
tee today, if made effective by leg
slative act, it is believed, will be
the means for the building of many
miles of turnpike in Jefferson eoun-
ty, at great saving to the taxpayers.
The law and insurance COMMITTEES
will make its report this afternoon.
This report will then be turned over
TO the special committee appointed
yesterday by President CAN'T, to
gether with the draft of the bill 1t is
proposed shall be passed by the leg
will confer next Wednesday after
noon with County Judge Philpot, the
further action of the Chamber OF
Commerce IN the matter to be decid-
ed after this conference.

CITY GETS SHARE
OF The ROAD TAX
Judge Philpot Asserts That
Three Fifths or More Is
Expended in City.

"The records will show that at
least during my administration
three-fifths or more Of the road tax
in the city," is the declaration con
tanned in a statement made to The
Graphic by County Judge G. NJ. Phil
pot, commenting on the action of thu
city council in naming a committee
to seek to secure three-fifths of the
road tax collected within the city.
ain the past four years. continues
Judge Philpot's statement, there
hae been collected between $4,000
and 100000 from the road tax in the
city, and of this between 100000 and
$40 900 has been spent in the city on
paved streets, concrete bridges and
culverts. Every dollar of this money
goes into permanent improvements,
and is not wasted in filling mud
holes, or having streets and side
walks conform to certain grades. re-
gardless of conditions. Every new
engineer can change these grades at
his will"
Interpreting the councils action to
mean that it is desired to have 60
per cent of the 3-mill road tax col
lccted in the city paid to the city
treasurer instead of TO the county
treasurer, that the city might nave
the spending OF the money, Judge
Philpot declares:
My purpose in writing this is not
to object to such action, but TO dis
abuse the minds of those Taxpayers
of the city who may not be con-
versant with the facts. | want them
to know that three-fifths Or more of
the tax has been spent in the city.
'As to the automobile tax, collected
from owneG living in the city, it
would be alright for the tax from
that source to be confirmed to the
city, providing you make. the law
governing this matter to so read that
those machine owners must cOnfine
themselves to the city streets and
moi expect the farmers of the coun-
try to tax themselves to build turn
pixies for the city owners Of auto
mobiles to do their joy riding.
lets make our laws so that all
CT the 3-mill road and automobile tax
must go into permanent city streets
and country highways. for the gsner
al use of all of our citizens, doing
equal justice to all and see that this
money is handled by none but the
most competent persons"

J. w. Glacey, section foreman for
The Cotton Belt at Rob Roy, was ar
rested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
j. l.. McBurnett on information from
the sheriff of Dewitt county, Texas,
who charges Gracey with being a
fugitive from justice.
Gracey, who has wife and four
children, recently located at Rob Roy
coming from Texas He has agreed
to return without requisition.
1t is stated that Gracey shot a
Mexican during a quarrel. This is
not considered serious offense in
Southwest Texas, but the charge that
Gracey Jumped his bond' may cause
the railroad man trouble. However
he believes he can explain matter to
the satisfaction of all concerned.
