State Highway Commission Keeps Automobile Tax Funds
Lexington county seeks 10,173.80 dollars from the highway department for first quarter 1920 license fees. County officials contend 80 percent of county license income must be used locally for road maintenance and construction under the 1920 act, or from pre-1920 funds under earlier law. The county plans to pursue action to secure the money, arguing it was collected before the 1920 act.
