Fire Districts
Amendment On
Way In Assembly
A proposed constitutional am
endment permitting fire districts
to be set up in Spalding County
is on Its way through the Geor
gia General Assmbly.
The amendment would have to
be approved in the November
general election to clear the
way for the county commission
ers to draw up the districts.
Spalding Rep. Quimby Melton,
Jr., and Rep. Clayton Brown
have introduced the measure in
the House.
It would provide for the coun
ty to draw up fire districts and
hold referendums in them so
people affected could decide
if they want county fire protec
tion.
Districts which approved the
service would have to pay for it
through a tax levy.
Chairman Jack Moss of the Sp
alding County Commissioners
said today the measure would
put a five mill ceiling on fire
protection costs in districts. He
said it’s possible the service cou
ld be provided for less, depend
ing on the individual district.
Costs in different districts might
vary, the chairman said.
Before the county commission
ers can draw up district lines,
the voters must approve the
amendment in November, Chair
man Moss said.
The commissioners have had
several requests for some sort
of county fire protection service
in heavily populated county ar
eas.
They have had the matter un
der study several years and this
Is their first legislative step to
ward a proposal.
FALSE TEETH
Chewing Efficiency
Increased up to 35%
Clinical tests prove you can now
eat and chew better —make dentures
average up to 35% more effective—lf
you sprinkle a little FASTEETH on
your plates. FASTEETH holds uppers
and lowers more firmly so they feel
more comfortable. FASTEETH is not
acid—doesn’t sour. No gummy, pasty
taste. Helps check "denture odor’*.
Dentures that fit are essential to
health. So see your dentist regularly.
Get FASTEETH at all drug counters.
