Post No. 5 (Chestatee Area)
Forsyth County Board of Commission
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
AUGUST 8,1972
have qualified as a Candidate for Post 5 (Chestatee Area) Forsyth County
ioard of Commission subject to the rules and regulations of the Democratic
dmary to be held August 8, 1972.
am a lifetime resident of Forsyth County and am very interested in the
el fare of our county. My reason for offering for this office deals with the
ict that / am very disturbed about the financial condition of the county. If
’ected to this office, / will work with the other four members to try and get
ur county back on the right track. As all of you know from the records
rovided by the county commission office, we are not in the best condition
'om a financial standpoint.
would attempt to practice strict economy in operating our county govern
i \lent and would reduce all unnecessary spending. / would hopetto see the
i >ffice set up a properly prepared budget and would expect each office in the
(ounty to operate within this budget. Having been a businessman for many
years / have developed the idea that any business, including the County,
fyiould not spend more than it takes in. To do so invites higher taxes and will
Result m a business or county going out of business. This we don t want in
Eorsyth County.
/ would promise the citizens of this county that / would try and see that the
existing paved roads receive better attention. There are /ust too many pot
holes on all paved county roads. A small maintenance crew should be avail
able to keep these holes patched. It is not good business to keep hauling high
priced gravel and pouring into the holes only to see it beat out in a few days.
It's my opinion, and / would vote to use such a maintenance crew full time
tp take better care of our existing roads. In my opinion this would give us
better roads at less cost.
If elected to this office / would vote to use the Planning and Zoning Board
in such a manner that we would have planned, orderly growth that would
hold some promise of paying enough taxes to at least pay its way. / would
further work to secure more warehousing operations, more nice shopping
centers, more nice motels and more of this desirable growth that would pay
its way and also help pay part of the tax load that we individual property
owners art' now paying. This can be done if we have a stable county govern
ment that business can depend on.
I am a member of the Cross Roads Baptist Church, and a past Master of the
Masonic Order. If you agree with the positions I have taken, PLEASE vote
for me on August S. 1972. Your consideration and help will be greatly
ajipreciated.
Your Friend and Neighbor,
Weldon Matins

They are people who live in areas where
they couldn’t get electricity from any other
source. So they formed consumer-owned electric
utilities —4l of them- that maintain over
77,000 miles of lines —enough to go three times
around the earth —to bring dependable electric

Girl Scous clean up polluted
rivers.
Girl Scouts find people who
need help, and work with them,
not for them.
Girl Scouts, as individuals
and in troops, do these things
because that is the Girl Scout
way. From 7 through 17, girls

hallmark of Girl Scouting. Th
rough learning and service Girl
