GRANT TARv|A ROAD
SAME FUND EXPENDED
THERE PAST YEAR
ROAD BOARD WILL ALLOW ABOUT
$1,4o0 DURING NINETEEN
SIXTEEN,
STATEMENT HIGHWAY BOARD
Members Of The Commission State,
That They Must Look After All the
Roads of the County, Giving to Each
,lts Proportionate Share.

Only half of the sum asked. by the
delegation from Mt Pleasant to con-
struct the tarvia road between this
city and that place was allowed by the
County Road board at its meeting on
Thursday afternoon. The delegation
appealed for $4,000, which, added to a
like sum from the state and $4,000 to
have been raised by private subscrip-
ton, making a total of $11,000 wonl6
live been sufficient to make a tarvia,
waterproof highway.
The members of the road commits
sion stated that they had ascertained
that the county had expended on this
read during last year from the special
highway Ind and from the district
road Communication fund about 81, 400
It was agreed by them that similar
sum would be allowed the Mt. Pleas
ant road for this year. The delega-
ton was not altogether satisfied with
this sum, but the commission felt that
It would not be fair to the other por-
tons of the county to allow more for
this road than it was entitled to even
for the purpose of constructing a
boulevard. The members Of the COM
mission declared that they would like
to encourage all enterprise, but they
represented the entire county and
must keep in mind the heavy mileage
that must be provided for.
There will be heavier demands upon
the special highway fund this year
than ever before because Of the fact
that the county must keep up and
maintain ten miles more of pixies than
1t has been keeping up, having pur-
chased during the past year the Cul-
leoka and Sowell Mill pixies with an
aggregate mileage of ten miles.

PENALTY ON TAXES
POSITIVELY ACCRUES
ON FIRST OF MARCH
THE EXTENSION MADE LAST
YEAR WAS SIMPLY
TEMPORARY.
OLD LAW Is AGAlN IN FORCE
Trustee Finds Many Taxpayers Who
Are Still Under the impression That
The Extension Will Again Apply
No Power to Extend the Time.

Because the penalty on state and
county taxes did not accrue last year
until May /, there are still a number
of taxpayers in the county who are
under the impression that this will
be the case this year. They are going
to find themselves very much mis-
taken if they wait until May to pay
their taxes for the penalty accrues
on March /. The last day of grace
is February 20.
Trustee Addison said this morning
that he was surprised at the number
of people who were still under the
impression that the penalty would not
accrue until May. you know the
last legislature passed an act defer
ring the penalty until May l." said
Trustee Addison, because of the bust
ness depression then prevailing. But
that was simply a temporary law and
applied alone to 1915, or rather to the
taxes for 1914 but collected in 1915.
That act is no longer in force.
Penalty will positively accrue in
this county on March 1 on all of the
taxes that then are unpaid. There
can be no extension this time for the
legislature is not in session and that
is the only power that could grant |
the Taxpayers any further immunity. (
am anxious that everyone should
know this, because do not want to- |
collect penalties and interest from any
one because of a misunderstanding.
