SPLIT THE ROAD MONEY
viii BE Divided Between County
City and Townships

Copies of the new road law pass
ed by the recent session of the state
| legislature have been received at tho
court house The new law makes a
number of changes. particularly in
the apportionment of the money
from automobile licenses. In the
first place the states share of the
IS registration fee is cut to so
cents. The remainder is divided
equally between the county and the
town or township in which the ap-
plicant for the license resides. Thus
the $3.50 from a license for an Ahi-
lene owned car would be divided.
,$2.25 going to the county road fcnd
and 1925 to the city.
The new law specifies that this
money shall be used for dragging
roads. If any funds remain, how
ever, they may be used for other
road purposes.
Under the present law the states
share of the license fee is rs cents
and the county gets the remaining
$4.25 for road purposes.
The new law will go into effect on
publication of the session law, prob
ably in June. After that Abilene
ought to be able to gravel it's dirt
roads which are now generally much
worse than the country roads around
them.

MAKEUP OF ARMY UNDECIDED

Washington, May 2.-The United

to Europe whenever the allies deem
ii wise to divert the necessary ship
ping from transporting food tC
transporting men. 1t became known
definitely today that the govern
ment has offered the allies troops,
but has suggested that the alarm
ing shortage of world shipping may
make it impractical to send them at
once.
In spite of objections of the gen
eral staff to putting any American
forces on the firing line before the
great war army has been raised and
trained, the administration has de-
termined that the small contingent
earnestly desired by France for NOR
al effect, shall be sent as soon as
possible. The general belief here is
that the way soon will be found.
Whether the force that is to car
ry the Stars and Stripes into battle
in France, shall be made up of reg
ulars or national guardsmen, or
both, has not been worked out The
subject was not discussed at todays
cabinet meeting but Secretary Bak-
er remained afterward for a con-
ference with President Wilson.
