Fox Case May Go
To Supreme Court

Cutting down the amount Cam
eron county hoped to obtain in its
suit against j. j. Fox, tax collector.
the court of civil appeals at San
Antonio yesterday denied a motion
for rehearing but reformed its orig
inal decision in the case.
The decision had not been fully
interpreted Friday.
One Of the chief rulings in the
decision was that all fees collected
go to the man in office at the time
OF collection, not the man In office
at the time action was instituted.
This has long been a moot ques-
ton under the Texas fee bill. One
man Is in office and institutes pro-
oeedings toward collection of delin-
quent fees. lie is followed In Of
flee by another man who effects
collection. The new decision holds
that the man who makes collec-
ton Is entitled to the fees.
This last decision is not expected
to settle the County-Fox case. 1t
Will more than likely be carried on
to the supreme court for a final
decision.

Mid Winte Fair
Interest Grows
CBY SAD Corresnondrnt.l

HARLINGEN, Oct. 9.-Investiga-
ton has revealed that the free fair
idea may not be so original in
regard TO an open gate but that
the idea Of doing away with cash
prizes for exhibits is indeed rare,
according to Manager John T.
Floore.
The fact that as many II not
more exhibits than the fair has
ever had will be on display is a
good indication Of the cooperation
between Valley towns, MI. Floore
said.
Although the only awards will
be ribbons, Valley people are pre-
pairing TO exhibit as usual and in
some instances co-operis ing still
some instances co operate still
fact that the fair will not charge
for admission to the grounds.
a few fairs have thrown their
gates open TO the public without
charge but not many have done so.
The Valley fair has been enabled
10 secure better rates for conces-
Sions and commercial exhibits and
hopes TO pay all expenses in this
manner. The fair avoided a deficit
last year for the first time in its
history.
