Bio Savinq To Road Fund.


BY taking over the automobile reg
istration from the office of the secre-
tary of state the highway department
estimates that it will prove a saving
of $4,000 annually to the road fund
over the amount that went to that
fund under the old law, and that by
the addition of new registrations and
old cars that under that system es-
capped registration the department viii!
effect an increase of the fund of about
$4,000 a year.
The department is, getting things in
readiness for spring and summer
work on the roads. On May bids will
be opened for 100000 gallons of btu
minous material, and as soon as the
contract is closed and delivery made
the work will begin and continue till
next winter. A number of roads in
the vicinity of Nashville were treated
last summer and fall, and it is said
that the severe winter effected but
slight damage to the mileage thus con-
structed.

his wholesale drug house.-adv.
