Under the present law, life
insurance companies pay
one percent of the life insur
ance premiums they collect
directly to the state trea
sury.
Under the proposed
amendment, the money col
lected in unincorporated
areas of each county would
be returned from the state
treasury to each county
commission for use in unin
corporated areas of the
county for tax relief or pub
lic services.
Under this plan, Forsyth
directors did during the
year.
The meeting will begin
with an old-fashioned pork

Should the proposed
amendment be passed by
the voters, it would have to
be made into a bill and
passed by both houses of the
General Assembly, as well
as survive the governor’s
veto, before it could become
law.
The amendment was
passed in 1979 by the voters,
passed by the General As
sembly, but vetoed by Gov.
George Busbee.
Busbee’s veto message
said, “The granting of tax
ing authority to counties at
the expense of state reve
nues at this critical eco
nomic juncture is not
prudent and is unwise. “
Georgia was in danger of
losing its federal revenue
sharing money, chairman
Barnett said. If times had
been better, the governor
might not have vetoed the
bill, the chairman specu
lated.
Duane Riner, Busbee’s
news secretary, said the
governor wanted more lead
time and better economic
conditions before making
the necessary budget adjust
ments to compensate for the
lost money.
“I don’t see how the state
can build a case against this
(the proposed amend
ment),” chairman Barnett
said. “The state has been
running a huge (budget) sur
plus.”
Returning the money to
the counties would be more
efficient, chairman Barnett
contended. The counties
could use the tax money di
rectly, while the state would
use up part of it in maintain
ing its bureaucracy.
Also, chairman Barnett
said, the counties would get
the insurance tax money by
law and would not have to
file an application for a
grant or ask for it from At
lanta.

man of Michigan.

Landscaping Misunderstood
ATHENS Landscape.
What does that word mean
to you?
“It makes 99 people out of
100 think of plant material
period.” Bill Slack, exten
sion service landscape ar
chitect at the University of
Georgia, said. “But a land
scape is much more than
just ‘pretty greeny-growy
things.’”
Slack said a homeowner’s
landscape includes the
house, any other man-made
structures such as a garage
or storage shed, and all nat
ural features such as rock
outcroppins, streams and
plant material.
Every feature influences
the total appearance, he
said; so consider each el
ement and how it will affect
the look you want.
“Incorporating plants is
the last step of a landscaping
project,” he said. “It’s the
icing on the cake, not a cure
all for problems with the
site.”
According to Slack, grad
ing and circulation are the
two main concerns of a land
scarper, and must be com
pletely worked out before he
chooses plants. “For exam
ple, if there’s not enough
room for guests’ cars to turn
around, an attractive azalea
hedge next to the driveway
won’t belp the problem at
all,” he said.
It’s true that plant roots

But sometimes a retaining
wall will better suit the site
and circumstances, he con
tinued. On a small lot where
land is at a premium and
space is tight, a hedge might
take up too much room.
“A fence also serves the
same purpose,” Slack said.
“It is permanent, disease re
sistant, drough tolerant and
you don’t have to wait for it
to grow. If you want plant
material, too, you can train
vines to climb it.”
Slack noted one common
landscape problem that
