Law In Explicit This law was passed nt tho ItiBt mooting of tho legislature. It makes of ovory Incorporated municipality a separato road district. Thirty per cont of tho road levy may be used anywhoro In tho county, hut tho re mainder of tho funds, howovor, bo long to tho city In which thoy aro col lected. Tho present plan, as has been In dicated, Is thut tho county court will put off tho mattor until tho closo of ho fiscal year and thou extend tho Marshfleld road district, which takes In only tho city, as far as Coqulllo so that tho money will eventually bo used not In tho district but on n coun ty road. Tho matter camo up In connection with tho redccklng of North Front street, notices for which havo now hecn posted long enough. C. F. McKnlght, roprosontlng Georgo Logglo, owner of proporty on North Front streot, declared that tho council should tako no notion until tho road matter has been threshed out with tho county court. Several times tho proposition has boon talked over 'In tho council about taking port of this road money for tho rodocklng of this street, for tho Improvement of South Broadway and for tho rebuilding of tho Coal Bank lulot bridge Add Another District "Tho county court contonds that it can Bpond this money nt Its own discretion," declarod C. F. McKnlght. "Thoy Intend to hold tho matter up until noxt year and lop on another district." Ho, too, advocated man damus proceedings and tondored )ils sorvlces In aiding tho city attorney. Tho attorney general has ron dorod nn opinion," said City Attornoy Brand, "that tho county court has tho ontlro control in tho expenditure of this money. But I am afraid thoy nro not going to spond much of It horo In Mnrshflold. I think that we ought to wavo tho ollvo branch about a bit and thou Btart mandamus proceed ings." Wants Practical OUvo Branch "Ollvo branch," burst In John D. Goss. "Yes, got ono about as big as your two fists and heavy at tho end. "Tho district attorney holds that it cannot bo spent on city streots. Tho county court Is not going to spond it horo If thoy can help. Tho tax money Is already collectod. I think thovpeo plo of Marshfleld would bo perfectly willing that a part of this monoy should ho spent on repairing tho streets that are tho heaviest travelod. "South Broadway loads from tho county road into the city. North Front Btreot loads from tho city onto tho county road. To all Intents and purposes thoy aro county roads. Somo Coqulllo Facts "Over at Coqulllo they built a big brldgo almost up to tho court 1ouso and It was paid for from tho county funds. Thoy built up a street In tho city and called It a county road and tho county paid for It." City Attornoy Brand suggestod that a resolution be drawn up voicing tho opinion of tho council that tho money Bhould bo spout horo and this will bo takon to tho county court at tholr mooting Wednesday.
