Rogers, 'Mho'-h t'oun-' ly's represt illative in the; lieinral Assembly, expressed the opinion wile here last week -end taking, a respite from the. legislative i i 1 1 1 that lay? wunild be ciiaclcd at the present session relieving the coun ties of local road maintenance and placing the burden of' supporting the six-months school session on the state. With the passage of such laws the first, one of the main featuies in Governor Gardner's program would nave the way for huge re ductions in county taxes. Dr. Rog ers estimated that these measures 'would cut 'Macon County's 'expen ses nearly in hall.
