It is generally agreed among members of the city board of alder ! men that many of the privileged taxes which have been charged In the city in the past will be aban doned this year. The city has been realizing between $6,000 and $10,000 from privilege taxes levied against various types of business, but with business conditions hard on mer chants and business houses, the city has about decided to abandon a general privilege tax schedule Heretofore these privilege taxes have included partically every form of business activity from butcher to banker, plumber to printing. The privilege tax is allowable’ by law and can equal in amount the privi lege taxes charged by the state, but since the city has cut its expenses, the city fathers feel that they can continue to operate the city govern ment and spare the busines men of Shelby of this customary tax. Alderman Z. J. Thompson will not be present at the monthly meet ing Tuesday night, he being at the bedside of his mother Mrs. W. H. Thompson in Paris. Texas, but all other members of the council are expected and action may be taken on the privilege tax schedule. Court Judges Selected For Cleveland Co.

Rules ‘Per Diem’ Fee To Be Illegal Order Ray* Bill* of Cost Mast tU Made Out by Clerk la County Court. The controversy which renter* ed about the legality of the method of filling out bills of cost In the Cleveland county re corder'* court came to a head late last week when .fudge Mau rice R. Weathers ordered that hereafter all hills of coat he made out by the clerk and not by deputies. In hi* ruling Judge Weather* al so Mated that, in filling out the costs the clerk should allow only those tees permitted by law. It had been contended that by the method heretofore used certain fees were allowed which should not hava been. No intentional wrong doing on the pari of anyone was suggest ed by citizens who protested against these fees they contended should not be allowed, as up until recently, when a deputy clerk was appointed, there had been no particular per son designated to fill out. the bill* and as a result they were filled out by anyone who happened to have time to do so Had No Schedule. No schedule of permissible costs and fees had ever been drawn out for the county court and until the ruling last week there was no aet form t,o go by. In handing out his order in court last, week Judge Weathers did not specify what fees he termed legal and what illegal. He merely stated that the bills should be filled out by the. clerk and that they should be according to law No “Per Diem” He did state, however, that in his opinion officers should not bo allowed the *2 per diem fee that has been a portion of the court costs in the majority of cases here to fore. The recorder added, too, that his opinion was that an officer was not entitled to a 50 cent fee for Issuing a subpoena for himself to appear as a witness in a case. Judge Weathers did not rule on any other items in the bills of coats, leaving the working out of a com plete schedule of costs to be inter preted and made out by the cleric or county attorney. Considerable Sum. If only the two Items mentioned above—the per diem charge and the subpoena fee—are disallowed the total costs of each case in county court will be reduced about $2.50, and with a hundred or mom cases tried each month this wilt: amount to a considerable sum id' the course of a year.
