easing in the fortfpart of the
year before embarking upon the

As ive enter the decade of the

Domestic social, labor, and

military significance. At this
juncture, the staff of Babson's

to a sufficient degree to avert

Presuming, therefore, that
American military commit
ment in Vietnam can gradua-
ly be toned down, and that none
of the other smoldering trou
ble spots erupt into full-scale
fighting, the primary task in
1SF70 once again will be to curb
inflationary pressures. With its
tremendous momentum, there
is still little hope that the in
flationary spiral can be brought
to a standstill in 1970.
Less Feverish Inflationary
Pressures - Once strongly en-
trenched, inflation is hard to
contain. The task is rendered

Many major arid secondary la

Job Ahead
Speaking to'the leaders of the
1 roadbuiiding Industry in Geor
gia, former, Gov. Carl E,
Sanders called for an "imag
inative, bold new program
(of highway system develop
ment) to supplement the in
terstate program” now near
ing completion.
He, : pointed to the tremendous
increase in number of vehicles
on the nation's highways (now
better than 100-million or 67
per cent more than were in
use in 1956). And he cited Ge
orgia’s now accelerating
changeover from a predomin
ately rural state to one which is
fast becomeing predominately'
urban complex to support his
contention that that* bold new
program must be developed
and implemented without delay.
Sanders' remarks came in an
address to the sixth lumbal Di
rectors Dinner of Georgia As
phalt. Riant Mix Institute. Iiis
was the principal address of
the evening and was 'made to
some 225 GAPMI members and
guests and their wives. The din
ner, climaxing the annual meet
ing of GAPMI, was held ai the
Rivera of Atlanta Motor Hotel.
(See pictures above.)
Sanders cited the importance
of the highway as an Instrument
of economic growth.” He
recalled that a we 11-developed
network of highways has been
cited as"the most important
prerequisite" by the study
repbrt which served as the
blueprint for redevelopment of
the nation's Appalachia regfen,
the federal program
now underway. ■ *

New Properly
Tux Filing
i
Regulations
Not every Georgia property
owner will be required to file
a county ad valorem property
tax return tills year.
Due to a 1969 legislative a-
mendment to the state’s pro
perty tax laws, the only tax
payers who must file in 1970
are those who have made a
change in their property states
during 1969. Property changes
include a new residence, home
improvements, and additional
Acquired property.
Taxpayers who lave made no
changes in their property sta
tus during 1969 will be asses
sed by their respective counties
based upon the property shown
on their 1969 return.
Essentially the new act says
teat if a property owner is re
turning for taxes tliis year the
same property that he returned
for taxes last year, he will be
deemed to have returned teat
same property this year, and it
will not be necessary for him to
file a return. However, if the
property owner lute moved
since he last filed a return, or
has made improvements upon
the property returned the last
year, then lie must file a re
turn for the current year.
The new property aetdoes not
affect the ad valorem property
taxes on automobiles. Neither
does it affect filing require
ments for municipal taxation.
Hnder the new. act persons
who are eligible for the re
gular $2,0OD exemption will not
have to make annual appli
cation. However, those taxpay
ers who are eligible, for the
$4,000 homestead exemption,
must make annual application
at their county tax office.
"Convenience to Georgia,
taxpayers hopefully will be the
effect of tee now filing act,"
according to Property, Tax Di
rector Tom Gangster.
County ad valorem property
tax returns based upon pro
perty owned on January 1 are
filed by April 1 in most coun
tries at county tax offices. Co
unties send collection notices
to their taxpayers during the
fall months.
Property tax. forms are
available to taxpayers from co
unty tax offices..
