La Sale, receives greater share
than any OF the other counties
The amount awarded the La Sale
county solons is $1,09960 more than
auto owners of the locality paid into
the secretary of states office for IL
censes. This results from a division
of approximately 100000 of the Ii
censes taken out in Cook county, but
which it cannot obtain because OF a
clause in the law that prevents Cook
from securing more than a certain per-
centage OF the sum it pays into the

With $4,000 granted by the state
La Sale county now will have to make
levy of like amount to be collect
ed as taxes. When this Is done there
will be a total in the hard road treas
