LEVY TO BE MADE IN

COUNTY COURT DECIDES OX PRO
CEDCRE PENDING INTER
PRETATION OF LAW.
The county court. In levying the
i road tax for next year, will levy the
! tax against all taxable property In j
! the county, including the property in
incorporated cities and imvns which
levy s;reet taxes. This decision was j
reached this afternoon by Judge j
.Marsh and Commissioner Cockburn I
; after receiving an opinion on the law j
from District Attorney Frederick
1 steiwer.
A law rased by the last legislature
j provided for IsvyTBg the road tax'
i against all taxable property. The
, district attorney, however, holds that
; there is rather a serious question as
it. i whether the legislature had the
irigh: to grant county courts authority..
I ti tax for road purposes property
! w ithin a municipality, in view of the '
scoalled home rule amendment pre
; viously adopted. However, he udvises
the county court to regard the act of
! the legislature as constitutional and
I to proceed to make the levy on all 1
property, including town property j
Then if town property holders object.;
I they may take the matter up in tho
The members of the court have de-
eided to proceed according to the ;
: district attorney's advice. They take j
'.he view that it is not for them to i
I decide whether an act of the legis- !
: luture Is constitutional. They will
I proceed as the statute tells" them toj
and, if their acts are not legal, the I
courts must so hold and they will i
: oney the mandates.

the additional 510,000.000 of property,
