TAX RATE ABOUT

SEEMS PROBABLE
ASSESSMENT MORE THAN oouB.
LED AND FLOATING DEBTS OF
THE COUNTY PAID.
SHOULD NOT Be OVER Sis
Expected That the State Board OF
Equalization viii Soon Certify the
Assessment Back to the County
Jud9e-Extra Session Possible.

(From Fridays Daily Herald.)
Just when the tax levy can be fixed
ny the county court is still problem.
II had been hoped, in fact expected,
that the state board of equalization
would certify the assessment roll back
to the county before the meeting OF
the squires yesterday, but the report
has not come and there is no indica
ton that 1t will be here at any time
soon.
From the best calculations availa.
BILE the tax rate of the county, if Gov.
Roberts' estimate of a state rate of
70 cents is correct, should not be
much over $l.l0 or $1.15 sat the out
side. A rate Of $l15 ON the new as
sessment will raise more money than
was needed last year More funds
win be necessary for the schools, to
take care of the Increase of teachers
salaries and to pay sinking fund and
interest on the bonds authorized, but
the county's floating debt has been
paid since last year and this levy can
be eliminated. The levy made for thai
purpose will easily ,take care of the
schools and fractional levy will pro
vide for the small warrant issue an
thorized to build and repair bridges
This estimate is based of course or
the assumption that the bill to apply.
the the sliding scale Of the road levy
will be passed and that the county
court will reduce the levy for this pur.
pose proportionately. If true the road
levy would be about nine cents,
which in the new assessment would
raise as much money as the twenty
cent levy.
II the state board should certify the
assessment Of the couny within the
next month it is probable that Judge
Rhiththorne would call an extra SEES
sion of the county court, but if the as.
sessment does not come until near
the regular session it win be unnec
essary to call the court together.

= County Superintendent +. A. Butler
announced this. morning that it had
become necessary to abandon all work
on bridges now under construction in
Maury county, due to the fact that it
was impossible to secure any cement
with which, to carry on the work.
Mr.. Butler stated that the bridge
at Mt. Pleasant, whichis a three span
concrete AFFAIR, had progressed rapid
ly up to the present time, and also
the bridge at Hampshire was being
carried rapidly forward until this
shortage came.
Mr.. Butler stated that he had
spent all OF Friday in Nashville in an
effort to get some relief, but the deal.
crs could not and would not promise
him anything for the near future He
stated, however, that he had had the
promise of car load of cement from
mill, but just when that would get
here was matter of speculation.
They told me. in Nashville that the
shortage of cement was due to car
shortage, but 1 doubt that. / am of
the opinion that it is scheme of the
profiteers and may result in an ad-
vance in the price of this commodity, .

Are Fine
But Prices Are
For Rich Only

Maury county's watermelon crop,
while not as large as that of past
years, in quality is a fine one. Some
extra good sized melons are being
sold on the public square. But the
prices exceed anything of the kind
ever known in the past. The melons
are actually selling as high as three
cents and more per pound. A real
good thirty pound melon, costs one
an even dollar, the highest figure
probably at which sweetened water
he's ever been retailed in this section.
In the earlier and better days the
same melon would have fetched
quarter, maybe less. 1t is not much
Of job to get fifty dollars out of
good sized load of melons when one
used to consider himself lucky if he
sold load for a fifth of that sum. n 4

ED SYSTEM HIGHWAYS.
OPPOSITION WELL ORGANIZED
Thirteen Votes Out Of Twenty-Fouf
for the Measure DWindled on the
Final Vote TO Half Of Bakers Dog
en-Up in Air Now.
From Fridays Daily Herald

(From Fridays Daily Herald.)
Delays are said always TO be dan.
gerons. This was certainly illustrat-
ed in the road proposition before the
county court at the session on Thurs
day When the court adjourned on
motion of the friends of good roals
until O'Clock the advocates of the
Jackson resolution had thirteen votes
The other side had eleven.
But presto, during the Noon recess
the opposition got together and plan.
ned to struggle the Jackson resolu-
tons with amendments. They came
thick and fast Some of them had
merit behind them and should have
passed. This was especially true OF
the extension of the Hampshire and
Campbellsville pixies to the county
line. The proposition to take in the
Theta road was. also one that appeal
ed to good reason, but not satisfied,
tnc duFoodteS VI the DOuu issue ueMOT-
allied and shot to pieces, The oppos.-
ton began TO grow confident.
Squire Jackson who had champion
ed the whole proposition astounded
every one by asking that he be per
njtted to withdraw all Of the resolu
tions. This was declined and then
Squire English came with his motion
TO table which mustered the votes Of
seven who in the morning had voted
on the first test vote for the PROPOSE
tioE. 2't
Seemingly the advocates of the
bond issue became thoroughly demon
allied as soon as Squire Jackson ask
ed to withdraw the resolutions. They
voted for every sort of an amendment
until finally blanket amendment to
include every road in Maury county
was adopted.
The whole matter is now up in the
air. The state commission is work
irg. on the Nashville pike but there
are rumors that work may be stopped
although the road in, many places is
impossible. Just what the final re-
suit will be no man knows.

1t is understood that the attorneys

city and those for the Erwins, but
there is no longer hope for settlement

be one largely of the law.
According to the claim OF the city
