daily Herald, August 81


County Attorney Hugh T. Shelton
advised County Court Clerk Arch w.
Lipscomb this morning that he could
extend the time in which to pay wheel
tax until the first day of September,
1919, which is the first Monday.
Up till this time 100 tags have
been sold and Clerk Lipscomb is now
without tags but expects to have an
abundant supply within the next two
weeks, due notice of which will be
given through The Herald.
County Attorney Shelton in render
ing his decision making it possible
for Clerk Lipscomb to extend the time
limit in which to pay the wheel taxes,
stated that owing to the fact that the
clerk has experienced a great deal of
difficulty in securing sufficient num-
Der of tags to meet the requirements
in Maury county, and as the grand
jury did not meet until that time, he
thought it was nothing but right and
justice to the people to grant them
this respite.
