Local road taxes, of course, are used
in the counties, townships, cities and
villages making the levies, and in that
respect differ from the state aid and
motor vehicle taxes, the bulletin ex-
plains. .,.:ty:. 70 -
For example, Hennepin, Ramsey
and st. Louis counties are paying
about 100000 year more state aid
taxes than they receive in division of
the fund. They receive in return less
than 81 for each 81 paid in. They pay
nearly 40 per cent and get back only
33 per cent, the difference going to
other counties for their local roads.
Likewise, those three counties are
paying more than one-third of the
auto taxes nearly IS per cent. Less
than 5 per cent Of the 1000 miles Of
trunk highways are within their linn
its. Their auto taxes would COM
pletely pave their trunk routes in less

This is. the story of Minnesota road
money-where it comes from and
how and by whom it is used, all from
official records this week in a bulletin
from the state highway department.
MANY. inquiries indicating that
some taxpayers have wrong ideas
that all roads are in charge of and
all funds spent by the state highway
department and so forth prompts the
statement of facts" says the bulle-
tin. "Minnesota's highway program
conceived and now building under the
Babcock plan, has been called the
states greatest single undertaking,
and it must have the active interest
and support of the people to insure its
biggest success"
The bulletin gives first the various
revenues. It shows that about $780,
100000 year is being spent on So
called local roads by the county,
township, city and village road offic-
ials. Also that about $7,500,000 of
auto taxes and federal aid, or little
more than a quarter of the total for
local roads, is being used by the state
department on the 1000 miles of
main highways. Like all other state
funds, this money is, distributed by
the state auditor and state treasurer
and is not handled by the highway de-
partment. Items of road and bridge

$500 FOR MURDER OF HUSBAND

BY agreement between counsel,
Mrs. Marguerite Eichelberger, OF
West Grove, was awarded $500
from the estate of Mrs. Frances
Dunlop for damages sustained when
Mrs. Dunlop murdered her husband,
Roy Eichelberger, some months ago.
Mrs. Dunlop afterwards killed her
fifteen year old daughter and then
committed suicide.
Mrs. Eichelberger sued for twenty
thousand dollars and the sympathy
of the community was favorable to
her cause, especially as the murder
ed man left several small children
and the heirs of Mrs. Dunlop were
we'll to do. On technicality of
evidence however, it was decided
that Mrs. Eichelberger could not
testify as to happenings during the
life of her husband and therefore
the first trial of the case was con-
tinued and new jury empanelled.
When the case came up this time
however, 1t was announced that an
agreement had been reached and the
jury found verdict accordingly

MOTHER DEFENDS BRIDE.
Will Fight Suit For Annulment OF
Marriage.

Mrs. Unertle, wife of DIR. John

mother of Peggy (U'DelD Unertle,
chorus girl of Ziegfeld's Frolic
show who was married IN EIkton
the morning of January 26 last to
John w. Montgomery, a wealthy
young New Yorker, after midnight
ride from Philadelphia, was in Elk
ton Friday afternoon and engaged
Joshua Clayton as counsel.
II shall not allow the fair name
Of my daughter to be disgraced
without defending her." declared
Mrs. Unertle. The bill filed several
days ago in the Circuit Court or
Cecil County by State Senator Omar
D. Crothers as counsel for Mr..
Montgomery, the groom, asks for
annulment of the marriage. He
declares in the petition that he was
induced to marry while under the
influence of liquor, that he would
not have consented If he had been
himself, and that he was only slight
ly acquainted with his bride, having
met her but once or twice on pre-
vious occasions. 1.-THE truth Of the
matter isl said Mrs. Unertle, 'my
daughter and young Montgomery
made each others acquaintance
about two months ago, and that he
had since been an ardent admirer,
never losing an opportunity to be
with Peggy. So far as money is
concerned we do not want a penny.
If the mother of Mr.. Montgomery
thought the young people had acted
hastily in getting married and were
too young, she should not have
undertaken to besmirch the name
and reputation of my daughter. We
have number Of witnesses who will
testify that they were not under the
influence of liquor."N
Before leaving town Mrs. Unertle
called upon Rev. DIR. Daniel F.
Lockerbie, the minister who was
gotten out of bed to perform the
Montgomery -Unertle marriage cere-
mony. The .parson declared both
young people we're in normal condl-
tlon and that the ceremony was per-
formed in solemn manner.
Harry Wolf of Baltimore has also
been engaged as counsel by Mrs.
