BOARD OF REVENUE
 WILL ACCEPT BIDS FOR MOTOR TRUCKS.
Matter of Standardization of County Trucks, in Proposed Plan to Save Repairs,
 to Be Taken Up

The original plan of the county board of revenue to purchase trucks from the Mack International Truck company under 8 trade agreement whereby the Mack company was to sell the county trucks at government prices and take present county trucks in trade, will not be fol- lowed out without local truck agen- cies being given a chance to bid for sale of trucks to the county.
 By resolutions passed by the board of revenue yesterday morning the matter of the standardization of the county trucks has been postponed to Tuesday. January IT, when bids from other truck companies will be con sidered.
 Effort to Save
 Truck standardization was original ly taken up by the board in an effort to save S60,000 annually on repair of county trucks. Under the agreement made with the Mack company, trucks were to be sold to the county at the same price that the United States gov ernment and Standard Oil company pay for trucks and the present county trucks when turned In were to be sold by the Mack sales organization and the amount credited to the county An agreement was also made for up- keep, which the majority of the mem bers of the board of revenue favored
 Considerable interest in the pro- posed trade was evoked when S. R. Batson, former county highway an gineer stated in Mondays Age-Herald that the board proposed to trade trucks that were owned by state high way commission.
 To Get Consent
 President D. c. Ball, in answer to Batson's statement, said 1t was never the intention of the board to trade the government trucks without the state highways consent and that the matter has been taken up with the state highway commission.
 The state highway commission meets at Montgomery Monday, Jan uary Is. It is not thought that a representative of the county board of revenue will attend the meeting to ascertain the sense of the board on the possibility of trading government trucks when they become lmprac- ticable for further use by the county.
