"That's very kind OF you" said the

said Il think you'd better stay here

little rabbit felt quite at home.
But, oh, dear me II began TO rain

"Now, I'll tell you story" said
the old woodchuck after he had blown

TAZEWELL COUNTY ROAD LAW
TO BE AMENDED.

A bill will be offered in the Legis-
laturc by Senator Royal and repre-
sentative Harman to amend the Taze-
well County road law at the present
session. The main features of the bill
are to give the right to the Board of
Supervisors, in their discretion, to es-
tablish toll gates, and to regulate the
width of tires on vehicles with refer
ence to the weight of the load.
Some people are in favor of operat-
ing the toll gates only on Sundays,
and thereby make the joy riders pay
for the use of the road, and not inter-
fere with business during the week
days, while others think that the toll
gates should be operated week days,
while others think that the toll gates
should be operated every day. The
provisions of the bill give the Super
visors the right to use their discre.
tion in the matter, and their discre-
tion, of course, will be controlled by
public sentiment, and changes made
from time to time OF meet all circum-
stances. The same istrue with refer
enee to the provision governing the
matter of width of tires.
Any one desiring to read the pro-
posed law will find copy thereof in
the office of the County Road Engi-
neer and copy in the office of the
County Treasurer.
