“LET’S REDUCE TAXES
Vote For All Three
SUBJECT DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, MARCH 19
TO THE CITIZENS OF FULTON COUNTY:
We believe the time has come when the rank and file of Fulton County’*
Tax Payer* are determiner! to get this County out of debt and then reduce
the Tax Rate.
We know the County can and must be operated more economically in nearly
every department.
The out-of-proportion Court House salaries must be reduced, and the hard
working County employees, who receive less than a living wage, must be raised.
The paving of unnecessary expensive roads through private properties
must stop.
Our splendid school system shall be supported and enlarged to take care
of every part of this great County.
The City of Atlanta pays a large share of the County taxes and must be
dealt with generously.
The last legislature increased the salaries of the County Commissioners
from $1200 to $3600 per year. We propose to see that this law is changed and
the salaries put back to where they were, thereby saving the County $12,000
per year.
We will also ask the legislature to allow the consolidation of the offices of
Tax Collector and Tax Receiver, which will permit a saving of $50,000 per year.
The County is in such financial shape that it is necessary to borrow
Millions of Dollars from New York at high rates of interest. Until the
County is out of debt, we, the undersigned citizens are willing to make a
personal sacrifice to serve the County at this time.
We have never held a County office, but know the financial problems of the
County, and if elected, we can and will get the County out of debt and reduce
the Tax Rate.
We solicit your vote and influence in the Democratic Primary for County
Commissioner.
