FACTS ABOUT
THE APRIL 5th REFERENDUM
By W. H. ELLISTON, C. S, S.
Much has been said and still more will be said in the
future about the April 5th Referendum on expanded serv
ices for the State of Georgia. To date very little factual
information has been brought to the public about what
such an expanded program will mean to Taylor County.
The Referendum gives the voters the privilege of choosing
between what they NOW have and what they will get
under the new program. One bit of false propaganda, how
ever is being distributed over the State by those who op
pose the State expanding its services to the people of Geor
gia. This misinformation is that the entire $-15,000,000
which is proposed for the expanded program is to go to
the schools. The true facts of the breakdown of the con
tingent appropriations approved by the House and Senate
First Session, 1919 Assembly, are as'follows:
18 Million dollars for public schools
214 Million dollars for capital outlay (building and
repair of school buildings)
21/2 Million dollars for University System
1 Million dollars for Teacher Retirement
12 Million dollars for Highways
4 Million dollars for Post Roads
1 V'l Million dollars for crippled children
l|/2 Million dollars for Tuberculosis Sanitorium
1 Million dollars for Milledgeville State Hospital
900 Thousand dollars for Public Health
160 Thousand dollars for School for the Deaf
75 Thousand dollars for Cerebral Palsy
250 Thousand dollars for Forestry
175 Thousand dollars for North Georgia Trade School
175 Thousand dollars for South Georgia Trade School
250 Thousand dollars for Farmers Market
The following figures signify the additional yearly
funds which will come to Taylor County for the services
indicated:
Education $104,460.00
Post Roads 27,164.00
Welfare 23,160.00
TOTAL $154,784.00
The Wesley-Union W. S. C. S.
met in regular session March 2nd
at the home of Miss Berta Perkins.
After the call to worship by the
president, Mrs. Fred Jarrell, the
program was turned over to Mrs.
Pope Booth. The subject of the
pogram was “Hawaii Paradise of
the Pacific.” Mrs. Stipe gave a
very interesting talk on Hawaii.
We were very glad to have Mrs.
Ethel Stipe, Mrs. Hugh Perkins
and Miss Martha Perkins meet
with us.
After the program, the hostess
served a delicious salad course
with punch.
