FOR MEMBER OF BOARD
OF COMMISSIONERS OF
ROADS & REVENUES
I hereby announce as a candi
date for a Member of the Board of
Commissioners of Forsyth County,
subject to the rules and regulations
of the Democratic Primary to be
held March 16. 1960.
As I will not be able to see each
of you during this campaign, I
would like to take this opportunity
to tell you of my platform, and
what I stand for.
Recovering of One-half to One
Million dollars from the U. S.
The Forgyth County New*
Government on our Lake Roads
It appears to me that our Com
missioners either went to sleep or
did not know the cost of road
building, or failed to make a sur
vey of the roads Involved, or just
did not care. In short It seems that
the people of Forsyth County have
been taken to the cleaners and
sold down the river, now since our
Commissioners have already settled
with the Government for the small
sum of approximately $100,000.00
and we can not reopen this case
in Gainesville, we will have to go
direct to the Courts of Claims In
Washington, D. C., and prove to
said Courts that the County Com-
and the U. S. Engineers
I did error in law in settling for
this small figure. I have talked
i with two Law firms and each of
them agree to take this case on a
small percentage at no cost to
the County or any one.
I think we should maintain our
roads first, then if we have the
time and money we should build
new roads where they are needed
most. I do not think the County
should compete with the Contract
ors on our new roads, which comes
under the Rurual Road Authority
and are let to competitive bids. In
our book of the Laws of Georgia.
Act of the Senate and House of
Representatives in setting uo our
Board of Commissioners of Roads
and Revenues, it plainly states that
no Commissioner shall enter into a
contract with said County, there
fore making it against the law to
be employed bv said County, any
on 1 ' violating this law. in mv mind
is subject to impeachment, for
you cannot hire yourself, Act of
1913.
Keep our machinery off private
property, do no work for private
individuals for personal gain.
Raise all County employees sal
ary up to a living wage.
Do what we can for better
schools and buildings.
I think we should lower our Tax
es on the small Home owners and
Raise the large property owners in
proportion with the small ones.
I have 25 years of grading and
road building I have
worked with leading Construction
[Companies of the South. I also ser
ved with the Combat Engineers in
World War IT.
| I am the Father of 8 children.
1 5 bovs and three girls. I am 51
years of age. I came here 1951
to work on the Buford Dam, and
j after it was finished I decided to
go into the Real-estate business
and make this my home.
If the people of Forsyth County
see fit to honor me with this
office T will do my best to make
th ! s County one to he proud of. I
will carry out and fulfill every
pledge in mv platform or I will
go down Swinging.
Thanking you in advance.
