LEvIEs FOR COUNTY ROADS
MUST BE EQUAL OVER COUNTY

Pierre, s. D., July 28.-That the
levies of county road funds must be
equal all over a county is the holding
Of the state legal department in reply
to an inquiry from McCook county. II
appears hat some Of the organized.
townships make local road levies as
high as 8 mills, while others levy but
2 mills, and the desire of the county to
make it's levies to equalize this dis
crepancy and place an equal road bur-
den on all townships Of the county Is
the appar ent reason for the inquiry as
to the rights of such action on the part
OF the county board. .
That the county board OF health has
no Jurisdiction In unorganized counties
attached for judicial purposes is the
holding on inquiry from Jackson
county; that the only health super
vision OF such territory Is vested In.
the state board Of health, and that
any desired action must come through
this board Is the holding.
That mileage for transportation OF
school children must be measured over
the shortest passable road ia the hold
ing OF the department on inquiry from
Brookings county. The issue was
whether children living within less
han two and a half miles distance OF
a school, but compelled on Rccount or,
an impossible road to travel over,
three miles, may draw money for
transportation, and 1t Ia held they may.
