Denton County Considers Model Road Demonstration
Secretary Scruggs urged the Denton County Commission to join a U S government program supplying expert road builders for a half mile model road six miles south of Denton on the Bartonville road. Commissioners hesitated due to funds and faith in the program, though Commissioner Coleman offered to finance half the cost if locals donated labor and materials. Scruggs stressed the educational value and potential countywide highway improvements.

Tax settlement talks on Katy intangible assets in Denton
The Missouri Kansas and Texas Railway faces a two thirds valuation settlement in Denton county for 1907 intangible assets. Agent Conley appeared before the Commissioners Court after earlier injunctive resistance. Katy's 1907 intangible assessment in Denton was 406 700 dollars with about 2900 dollars tax, 50 percent paid in Denton and other counties, remaining disputed. The court declined full 50 percent payment but agreed Renditions on two thirds basis, leaving about two thirds of the original tax due, with final payment pending Attorney General confirmation. Remaining taxes total about 491 dollars.
