et als, judgement and costs
Judge McBrlde last week rendered a
decision declaring unconstitutional the
provision of the city charier requiring
00 per cent of the road tax collected
within tho limits of the city to be turned
over to the city government, and also
the correlative, requirement that the re
maining 40 per cent be expended by
the county court ou main roads leading
to the city. The court aayt : "It may
seem to be, and in fact is, a hardship
that people who pay road taxes are not
permitted to have the taxes so paid ex
pended In their own locality, but until
the legislature, provides for this kind of
'home rule', by) general statutes applic
able alike to all localities, the court
feels Itself prohibited by the provisions
of the constitution from granting the
relief asked in this case."
