A Eoad Tax Opinion,
Altorney General Bell has given an
opinion relating to road tax, which
will be of interest to supervisors
throughout the state. Auditor general
Bisson wanted to know whether town-
ships of the second class, which dur-
ing the year 1911, collected their road
tax in cash, are entitled to receive any
part of the appropriation of $500 000
contained io the act of June 14, 1911.
After quoting the law and making a
careful analysis of its meaning, At
toruey General Bell decides in favor
of the townships as follows
* You are tnerefore advised that in
the opinion of this department one,
hall of the appropriation carried by
the act of 1911 and available for the
purpose of paying tue bonus author.
jzed by said act, should be applied pro
rata to the payment of fifcy per cen-
tam of the amount of road taxes cosl-
lected in cash daring the year 1911 by
such townships of the second class as
have collected their road taxes in cash
and filed the required reports with the
Htate Highway Commissioner, on or
before the first day of January, 1012.”
