GRAND JURY TO
Be IN SESSION
HERE ON MONDAY
BELIEVED JUDGE TURNER WILL
CHARGE JURY ON DOG AND .
WHEEL TAX VIOLATIONS.
SOME CONFUSION EXISTS NOW
Constitutionaity of Wheel Tax Law
Has Been Passed Upon Since Last
Session of Circuit court--Status of
Dog Law Needs Explanation.

When the grand jury meets Mon
day, there are number of interest.
ing points of law ON which it is belley-
ed Judge Turner will specifically in
struct the jurymen.
Ii is believed that he will call es-
pecial attention to the violation of
the dog law, explaining that it was
mol on the grounds of unconstitution.
ality that scores of cases against dog
owners for failing to pay tax We're
thrown out of court, but merely be-
cause the indictments were not prop
erly drawn. In other words, the in-
dictments were drawn after dog own
ers had actually paid the tax, there
fore the indictment was invalid So
far as Maury county is concerned the
dog law still holds good, and owners
of dogs are being assessed by county
Assessor Webb Williams, who will
also collect the tax
II is expected that Judge Turner
will also explain the status of the
wheel tax law, the constitutionality of
this measure having been attacked
in court since the last session of the
grand jury, and it being held by Judge
WhitthOrne in criminal court that the
law is constitutional. therefore those
who have failed TO pay this tax are
laying themselves liable to prosecu-
tioh.

biles. The engineers recognize that it
is not practicable to suspend all traffic
on dirt roads throughout the state for
ten days or two weeks; all they ask is
that so far as possible traffic be held
up.

the patient had never rallied and for
several days little hope has been held
for his recovery.
Only One to Escape.
Private Rupe was a member Of the
sSth Division and served for several
months in France He was at the time
he was injured located in a sector
where Austrians and Germans, brig
AIDED together, were making an attempt
to break through the Yankee line in
Belgium. Private Rupe was in charge
of a feet of twenty ammunition trucks
