After brief audience with the

The Lloyd George coalition receiy-
ed its death blow at the hands Of The
Conservative party when the C
servative members of the house
commons and government ministers
voted 1876 to 81 appeal to the country
as a Conservative party.
This creates situation of the
greatest political confusion and un-

The next move to be made will
be the, resignation of Austen Ghanl-

criticisms OF the Piney Branch Citi-

of the alleged unpstriotic quotations
cited By the organization were con-
tanned in the original edition Of the
book. the use OF which was discon-
tinued about ten years ago. The Muz-

$500. With the aid of the permit
record for new construction, one county
assessor will be able to assess all the
new construction in the county each
year. The objection of the present sys-
tenn is that by reason of the great num-
Der of local assessors the assessments
throughout the county are not uniform
1t is expected that a more uniform and
active system Of assessment will result.
Another bill will limit the sheriff to q
total salary Of not more than $4,000,
all to be from fees. and requires any
balance earned by the sherifrs office be
turned into the county police fund"
In the past, there has been no Limitation
upon the sherifrs salary. This bill Is
introduced with the hearty approval OF
the present sheriff. Alvey A. Monkey.
Another act authorizes the county
commissioners to issue bonds not to ex-
coed $4,000 to resurface and repair
county constructed stone roads to the
extent of the expenditure of $4,000 per
mile. provided the state roads commits
sion accepts that particular mile as a
part Of the state highway system
which. of course, includes state MAIN
tenance.
This expenditure by the county will
undoubtedly result in better main
tenance and general road service
both to local and through, traffic, and
will not raise the county tax rate.
It has been decided that the county
commissioners have ample authority
under existing law to maintain the
county road system. the only limita-
ton upon their efficiency and activi-
ties being the amount of money
available to maintain the $500 miles
Of county road system. The only pro-
posed road legislation, In addition to
the resurfacing bond issue, is to au-
thorize the county commissioners to
purchase not more than one-half an
acre of ground in each Of the COM
missioners' districts for storage Of
road machinery. This act also re-
Quires the clerk of the county COM
missioners to keep an inventory of
such machinery.
