All men were required annually to perform ten days labor on county roads unless exempted. In lieu of performing such road work, a man could pay a road tax or commutation payment as set by the commissioner's court but not to exceed ten dollars per annum (see Ala. Code, 1363 [1923]). This series documents the payment of the tax and records the date, receipt number, name, residence, year of exemption, and amount paid. This record began in 1923 and continued until the Code of 1975 when it is no longer included.
