persons in the western district by the

Assessments made possible by the

not to be summarily executed by the
internal revenue department on che
unsupported word of the enforcement
agents, without the knowledge OF the
accused person, but must be assessed
by a court of competent Jurisdiction
after that court has neard the case
and found the defendant guilty.

must be protected at all hazards"
the opinion declares. This protection
cannot be guaranteed II federal pro-
hibition agents are allowed to indulge

of time a still has been in operation

that enable revenue authorities to
figure out penalties amounting to

SNAGS STRUCK IN
'ROADC0NsTRUCnON
THE HIGHWAY COMMISSION OF
MEckLENsuRo OBJECTS TO
CLAUSE IN CONTRACT.
CONTENTION DELAYING WORK
state Highway Law Does not Provide
Tor Counties Providing Right Of
way for State Roads In Counties.

Charlotte.--"Ample right Of way
and the removal Of telegraph and tele-
phone poles and other distractions
with view to prompt construction of
said road"
This paragraph In the contract SUBJ
mitted to the Mecklenburg highway
commission by the North Carolina
highway commission, with reference
to the Charlotte-Statesviile road, is
the bone Of contention that has so far
prevented the signing up of the con-
tract and launching upon work on the
road.
The state highway law does not
provide for counties furnishing the
right-of-way for state roads in the
counties and the Mecklenburg high
way commission is not authorized. to
enter such contract with the state
body, in the opinion Of ]. l.. Delaney,
attorney for the county body, and
Thomas Griffith, chairman.
The Mecklenburg highway law pro-
vides the attorney said, for the expen-
diture Of no county money on state
highways within the county, for which
the county will not be reimbursed, and
no provision is made in the contract
by which Mecklenburg will be repaid
in the sum that she may have to ex-
pend in securing right.of-way or
removing telegraph or telephone poles.
