who the appointee will be, if one is
made.

JOHNSON NAMES
PLAN TO HURRY
AUTO LICENSES
Would Have Man on Ground
With Tags so That Deal
Can Be Completed
Without Delay.

County Commissioner Roy NJ. John
son has plan for collecting automo-
bile taxes in Carter county, that If
applied viii greatly facilitate the work
and put the money where it can be
utilized on roads and bridges al once,
Mr.. Johnson stated Tuesday he was
going to ask the state highway dc.
rartment to send a man to Ardmore the
first of the year, and begin to issue
Licenses at once, delivering tags on
the spot.
'-~c one objects to paying the tax.
said Mr.. Johnson, but the delay in
getting the tags after the money has
been paid is what causes them TO grum.
Bile. If they could get the tags when
they applied for the license. all would
be over with and they would not have
to give the matter a thought until
the following year"
Mr.. Johnson's plan is to have the
man work here, and as fast as applica-
tions are made finish the entire trans
action at once. He thinks that by this
method the money belonging to the
county from this tax would be available
for road purposes much quicker than
it. is under the present system. and the
county needs this money badly, he
says.
There are a great many people in the
state who think the entire amount col
lected from automobile tax should be
long TO the county where the automo
bile Is owned, and the coming session
OF the state Legislature will see a move
ment to create this theory into law
