BECOMES HIGHWAY
MtslNL COMMISSIONER

A. N. Leecraft, of Colbert. State
Highway Commissioner. took charge
of his office Tuesday, the day the
new highway law went into effect,
and has been busy getting notices
out TO owners OF automobiles for the
tax due for the last half OF the cal
endar year.
Mr. Leecraft has construed the
law TO mean that the decrease Of 10c
year on each horsepower Of ma
chine shall follow the owner and not
the machine. This means that the
tax for the last half OF the calendar
year will be 25c on each horsepower,
regardless of the age of the machine.
Next year the tax will be 40c on
each horsepower from the same own
ers who pay this year. regardless OF
whether they have the same machine
or not II is the intention of the
department 10 send notices to all
owners OF automobiles in the State
and to appoint banks in every cen
ter to whom the tax may be paid.
