If the recent ruling of the Iowa aupreme court on the road tax case la rightly In terpreted here. It means much for the city of Council Bluffs. Ai a eaae from Jasper county, according to the press dispatches, the supreme court i said to have held that the Board of County Supervisors must ex pend wltUo the city limits all of the road tax which la derived from the 1-mlll levy for road purposes on property within the city. The upreme court, ft Is reported, held that the law on this point waa man datory. The expenditure of that portion of the nvid fund levied within the city haa for sekeral years paat been a bone of contea tlorti between the municipal authorities and ColcaaJ Vf.- F. Baker, local member of the BoarA, of County Supervisors. While the law provides that the supervisor shall ex pend this money as derived from taxation within the city under the direction of the city council. Colonel Baker ha ateadfastly naintataed that it' was not mandatory, but merely optional for htm to expend all the fund thus derived within the. fity llnulta. OF IOWA Each year for several years back. In fact ever alnce Colonel Baker has been a mem ber of the county board, the city has been forced to compromise matters by accepting a small portion of the road fund for work within the city, the balance being expended by Colonel Baker on roada outalde of the city limit.
