COUNTY COURT CLERK IS KEPT
I, BUSY ISSUING LICENSE PLATES
FOR VEHICLES.

The payment of wheel taxes contin-
ues rushing at the Office of County
Court Clerk Lipscomb. During the
past week license tags have been sold
for sixty'seyen buggies, thirty-six
wagons and for twenty automobiles,
bring the total number of vehicles
in the county registered up to 1857
buggies 1894 wagons and 1929 auto
mobiles, or grand total of 1866
which If figured at the conservative
estimate of $6.tax on each would yield
the substantial sum. of $39,396, and
it is figured that before the end Of the
present week this sum will be increas-
ed to approximately $4,000, and still
the registration continues.
There are still scores of vehicles in
the county on which the wheel tax
has not been paid, and instructions
have been given officers of the county
to report all violations of the law to
the grand jury, which will meet again
on August 6.

BOND ISSUES.

" Why, The Herald is asked, should
he county court vote 100000 in ad-
lditional bonds for the completion of
the original plan for three state and
federal highways and at the same time
submit to a., vote of the people the
question Of Issuing yurther bonds for
fhes remaining highways that can
never be state and. federal aid roads?
This Is a very natural inquiry. It
deserves fair answer Under the
law the county court has the unques.
toned right to issue bonds in, aid OF
the state and federal highways 1t is
the method provided for taking ad'
vantage Of the state and federal
funds, Unfortunately the county
court has no power to appropriate
money or vote bonds for the other
highways without submitting the
matter to vote Of the people. The
Herald regrets that this is the law
but it cannot be changed. That is
why the resolutions of Squire Jackson
were drawn as they were.
Now let us analyse the bond pro-
position. The county will spend un-
der the proposal made in the Jackson
resolutions 100000 for the three
highways mentioned, which viii be
very little more per mile than it is
proposed to spend on the four high
Ways enumerated in the plan. Not
sbhly that but the state highways will
be built to withstand any sort of traf-
sic for a period of not less than a
dozen years, while the county high
ways that 1t Is expected to construct
VIII be of different material and must
have some attention every year. More
than that the county highways will
have tofbe maintained by the county
while the state and federal govern
ments soleranly propose and agree to
maintain the other roads. In the end
the county will actually pay less for
the state and federal highways than
Il will pay for Its own roads.
= But that Is not all. Unless the
county takes advantage of the offer
made by the state highway depart
ment some other county will and
funds TO which this county is entitled
and contributed by the taxpayers OF
the county will go TO the building Of
roads over which the people Of Maury
county will very seldom travel II
looks like lot of money, but the peo-
