new COUNTY ROAD Bill
APPROVED BY QUAR- TERLY
court VOTE OF Il TO 9

to draft a new road measure was call
ed for Squire Hugh Lee Webster,
chairman, reported that the county
court committee in conjunction with a
committee from the good roads associ.
alton had agreed upon bill which
would be presented by C. P. Hatcher,
representing the two committees. Mr..
Hatcher read the bill, after explain.
ing how the two committees had ar
rived at its provisions, which did not
conform to the opinions of all but was
made up of the best features of both
the old and the new measures.
In discussing the measure Mr..
Hatcher stated that the requirement
for tags on vehicles was put in the
bill as compromise agreement after
the opponents of the old system
agreed to permit the county highway
commission to make all road con-
tracts subject to the approval Of the
county road superintendent. He said
that this tag will be essential to the
collection of the wheel tax, as the re-
cords show that while the state and
county both tax automobiles now, the
state, which requires tag, collected
from more than 1000 automobiles
while the county, which requires no
tag, collected from only 300, showing
that the county had lost approximate
ly $4,000 by failure to have system
that would assure the collection of
the taxes.
The appropriation for rural santa
ton work was continued until the
next term of the court.

Commission.
(Monday's Daily Herald. }


Twelve to nine with three members
absent was the way the vote in the
county court stood this morning or
the adoption of motion to approve
a proposed new road measure with
the recommendation that it be enact
ed by the legislature. The vote was
taken after an extended discussion OF
the measure, which was participated
in by members of the court and citi
zens speaking with the permission OF
the court
The proposed measure approved by
the county court was not the one orig
inally drawn and recommended by a
joint committee from the court and
the county good roads association,
but was compromise measure agreed
upon by advocates of the old and the
proposed new system and reported to
the court by majority of each OF the
committees appointed to draft the bill.
The principal points of difference
were whether the county highway
commission should be required to en-
ploy a superintendent of roads and
whether the wheel tax for mainte-
nance of the roads should require that
all vehicles be required to carry tag
indicating that the tax had been paid.
The vote on the roll call was as fol-
lows:
Ayes-Hardison Denton, Ricketts,,
Ross, Harlan, Wilkes, Carr, Guest,
Webster, Jones, Akin, Taylor
Noes-Sowell, Forgey, Hull, Goad,
Farris, Derryberry, Davis, Digger,
Matthews.
Absent-Harris, Jackson, Swami.
A motion by Squire Digger to make
the endorsement of the measure unan-
imous failed on viva voce vote.
Appropriations for charity, cleo
ton of notaries, postponement OF ap-
preparations for bridge construction,
disalloweance of claim for back pay
as member of the county court by
j. w. C. Church, and few other mi
nor items on the docket were dispos-
ed of before the court took up the
road measure.
Committees on various claims for
refund of taxes were granted more
time for investigation. The claim OF
w. w. Dyer for the refund of his poll
tax on the grounds that he was ex-
empt at the time it was paid was con-
sidered and the county's part Of the
tax, one dollar, ordered refunded. 1t
was stated that Mr.. Dyer was required
to pay this poll tax at the time he paid
his property tax.
w. R. NJ McKissack, Hiram l..
