Hon. T. B. McDowell attended the
Good Roads meeting in Atlanta
Monday night, as a guest of the Pres
idents’ Club. At a dinner at the
Biltmore hotel, a plan for financing
road building in Georgia without a
bond issue was laid before a meet
ing of representative citizens from
all over Georgia. It is to be hoped
this plan will be carefully developed
and given sanction by the Legisla
ture now in session. On the face of
the plan, which we have carefully
read, the plan is feasible and highly
desirable. It ought not to meet
with any objections at the hands of
those who ’ are “against bonds,” for
there is no possible chance to levy
an advalorem tax under the pro
posed plan. Those who desire to
see the Georgia roads hard surfaced
within the next five years can be
counted on to interpose no objec
tions.
