NEW RUUNG FOR
CWA IN GEORGIA
PROJECTS MOST HEREAFTER GO
THROUGH OFFICE OF DISTRICT
ENGINEERS.
Atlanta, Jan. 16.—Civil Works pro
jects liereulter must go through the
offices of district' CWA engineers.
Miss Gay Sheppcrson, State Director
of Federal Relief and CWA, announc
ed Monday as she set up headquar
ters on two (loors of a downtown
building.
“It is a waste of time for persons
advocating certain projects to come to
the state headquarters and try to
start ut the top,” she said.
"As we have done in the past, we
will continue to require that the
project proposals originate in the
counties.
“Officials then must make their ap
plications to the district engineers, of
whom there are six.”
She made public the list of district
engineers as follows: District 1, T. .1.
Durett, Jr., Albany; District 2, J. C.
Holmes, Waycross; District 3, Gerard
Swarthout, Swainsbono; district 4, T.
J. Blount, Macon; district 6, H. A.
Glass, Athens; district 6, J. H. Wat
kins, Marietta.
Miss Shepporson also said it was
entirely useless for persons seeking
employment on CWA to come to state
headquarters f- r that purpose.
"They must register with the Fed
eral reemployment offices,” she said,
“We have nothing to do with it. We
■imply requisition a certain number
of v/orkers with c( rtnin qualifications,
and the reemployment offices send us
the men.”
Tlie 200 employes of state head
quarters, with some difficulty caused
hy a shortage of furniture.
FEDERAL-AGENTS
PUSH DRIVE FOR
TAX ON GA. LIQUOR
Makers of “moonshine” liquor and
dealers in illicit whisky in bone dry
Georgia lace the ‘‘recenovers’' again
after the long dry spell of national
prohibition.
ihe tinted States government has
changed prohibition agents into
deputy collectors of internal revenue
and they are going to see that those
who don’t pay the federal tax on
whisky tell the judge about it.
Twenty-eight deputy collectors ot
internal revenue in the • state have
been ordered to look around for sup
plies that are subject to the increased
lc\y. Congress increased the tax from
$1.10 a gallon to $2 on Jan. 12.
G. C. Ogletrei, assistant collector
of internal revenue, said Georgia
agents have been ordered to destroy
liquor stocks of dealers who decline
to pay the additional levy. Prohibition
enloretmeivt officers were withdrawn
from the state with the repeal of the
18th amendment and federal activity
on liquor sales reverted to the In
ternal Rcvi r.ue Bureau.
Information the 28 deputies obtain
concerning liquor dealers will not bo
a aila-le to local and county officials
who may want to enforce the state’s
bo.ie dry law. Mr. Ogletree said the !
only way local authorities could get
the names of liquor dealers would be |
an appeal to President Roosevelt for ,
an executive order directing the In
ternal Revenue Bureau to reveal vio
lators of the state law.
The government takes the position,
he said, that any one possessing liquol
in- a dry state, should pay the tax
placed upon the intoxicant by the
Federal Government.
"'or* i executed in pro
hibition cases have been ordered
1 —»„ thn clerk >*f -ourt bv
the United States marshal in a rul-
i .<* i«... ■ ..J recently bv Federal Judge
E. M. Underwood. His order directen
tbn’ no .""tion be taken ill the cases
until further instructions from the
court.
A number of n r rsons already have
been arrested in South Georgia. Tne
United States commissioner at Val
dosta stated that buyers are equally
guilty with the sellers of violating in
ternal revenue laws.
PARKER’S MEASURE

Washington, Jan. 9.—Representa
tive Parker, of Gporria, introduced
Tuesdav a bill to provide fees for N.

Mach 29 until July 3, last year.
The fees sought were i-cidpnt to
duties of t'-e commission’s office dur

of Clark’s old term and his reappoint
ment.

tered a petition in the house for a
continuation of seed loans.
COWS LICK' SILL, $30 TURN UP
Statesboro, Ga., Jan. 9.—Because
cows continued to lick a certain sill on
a barn near Statesboro, 30 silver dol
lars, minted 33 or more years ago,
have been discovered.
The coins were found in an old barn
on the farm of Inman Foy at Ada-
bell. Tenants saw something shining
between the sills on one side of the
bam. The coins had been brightened
up by the licking of the cattle. On
the farm, they told a story of an aged
negro, now dead, who reputedly hid
his money in the bam.
THE STATE AT LARGE)
By John W. Hammond, Staff Writer j
Georgia Newspaper Alliance i
When the $1,000,(100 state school
loan falls due, half Feb. 1 and the
other half Feb. 16, the treasury will '
puy it promptly.
The law gives the governor of the i
state, authority to use any unexper.d-
ed balance in the treasury lor current 1
obligations. Under that authority
$800,000 from the highway funds ,
(surplus) and $200,000 from the in- 1
come tax legal reserve have Uei n set
aside by executive order to pay the |
school note. Therein is the first step ,
toward definitely moving for a legal ,
diversion of highway income to be,
used for other state purposes. When :
that was tried out in the legislature j
what wus called the “highway depart
ment machine” was too strong for
diversionists to overcome, and the j
fight was lost. Now that the old al- j
leged '‘machine” has been broken up, I
and since the present governor has |
signified his policy to be that of high- |
j way money diversion, and in fact has
I taken the first step, it looks like the
plan will be Whipped into u law and
passed in 1936.
CWA FUNDS WELCOME
If the Georgia delegation Wash
ington succeeds in getting 140,000
more CWA jobs alloted to this state,
individuals and businesses are not go
ing to bo overmuch concerned about
the split between the governor und 1
Harry Hopkins as to who administers |
CWA. From almost every nook and
corner are coming happy expressions
because of the money being released I
in business channels thru CWA puy
rolls, but at that Georgia hasn’t bene-
fitted by federal expenditures like a
good many other states. In truth, of
all the “approval” of the PWA pro
jects for this state, outside of the
money being spent on highways, pow
erfully little of the federal recovery
money has been turned loose, outside
of OCC, CWA ami “emergency relief’
payments. Take the ' fund of more
than a million and a half for the new
state prison ns an illustration. That
was approved, the state executed the
contract, and everything Washington
asked was completed over two months
ago—but red tape keeps the money
still tied up. Pretty much all the other
PWA loans or advances are in the
same fix.
“NOT A CANDIDATE”—-LINDER
Here’s a guess: Lately there has
l been more or less speculation about
I Tom Linder, the executive secretary
| to the governor, being a candidate for
commissioner of agriculture. Well,
I rut it down Tom isn’t going to run.
He will continue to be a part of the
close organization of Governor Tal-
madge, next year and on into the ru-
ture. Whatever the fates hold in store
for one will be shared by the other.
GAS SERVICE FOR THOMASTON
Over in Thomaston they are going
to have natural gas in a lew months.
That brings to mind the rather ex-
I tensive expansion program outlined
for tlie use of natural gas in Georgia
when the commodity came here sev-
einl years ago. The depression
stopped the program and a good
many towns within reach of the gas
have not been able to get it. Work
in Thomaston, it is learned, is to
start in a few weeks, and the citizens
will be using natural gas before June.
FREIGHT RATES GOVERNED BY
TRUCK COMPETITION
Probubly not as much attention is
benig given the ease now being heard
by the Georgia Public Service Com-
1 mission to its rule nisi to show cause
why class freight rates should not be
lowered. It has gone far enough to
see that what really is involved in the
fight is the question of highway and
rail competition. To all intents and
purposes the railroads admit then-
desire to put on what’s called “ex
perimental” rates, with an “expira
tion” date where there is strong truck
competition, and to revert to the reg
ular rates when that competition
ends. From a general public stand
point, there is always greatest public
benefit—to the shipper and receiver—
when the competition exists. If there
really is ore thing highways have
been built for, totally aside from any
argument about their commercial
use, it is to benefit and serve the peo
ple. If they have been the means,
through competition, of pulling down
hauling charges certainly that is some
public sen-ice. However, that’s the
question involved in the depths of the
case being heard.
CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION'S
The U. S. Civil Service Commission
will accept applications until Feb. 2,
for position of associate social econo
mist and assistant social economist to
fill vacancies in the children’s bureau
department of labor.
The entrance salary for associate
social economist is $3,200 a year, and
for assistant social economist $2,600 a
year, less a deduction of not to ex
ceed 15 per cent as a measure of
economy and a retirement deduction
of 3 1-2 ner cent.
All states except Delaware, Iowa,
Maryland, Vermont, Virginia, West
Virginia and the District of Columbia
have received less than their share of
appointments in the anportioned de
partmental service at Washington.
Full information may be obtained
from the Secretary of the U. S. Civil
Service hoard of examiners at the
post office in any city which has a
nost office of the first or the second
class, or from the V. S. Civil Service
Commission, Washington, D. C.
