County Treasuror Soudor roported yesterday afternoon that sovonty-two auto owuors in Lincoln county had paid their 1920 auto llconso. tho total for tho sovonty-two amounting to $977.45, or an avorago of $13.60 each. Tho heaviest tax paid up to yesterday was by Gcorgo Williams, of Brady, who paid $59.00 on two cars and a truck. Tho license feo for 1920 Is $10 for each car up to 1,000 pounds, and fifty conts per 100 pounds for each 100 pounds ovor 1,000. As each owner of n car knows, or should know, Its weight, It is easy for him or her to fig ure tho license foe. Thoro aro approximately four thous and cars In Lincoln county, and If tho average of $13. GO Is maintained tho li cense money, In tho aggrogato will amount 10 $50,000. This is about threo times the amount of money which is received each year from tho road levy. Twonty-flvo per cont of this llconso money roes Into the county dragging fund, tho balance goes to tho stnto but must be used on designated roads with" in tho county In which tho tax Is col lected. This means that all of the $50,000 will bo spent on tho roads of tho county, but $37,000 will be expend ed by tho stato road commission on roads which have bcqn or will be, des ignated as state) and federal aid roads. Tho expenditure of this money means a wonderful improvement in tho roads of tho county, especially the main traveled thoroughfares. ::o:: Entertain for Miss Fonda. I Mrs. O. H. Cressler and Mrs. J.
