gad Not Sprinkler Been Purchased
Debt Would Have Been Out—Pub
lic Utilities Show Small Net
Profit—Sinking Fund
Annual Reports Show How
City Fared During the
Past Year
The annual statement made by Clerk
W. M. Carroll to the retiring city ad
ministration Wednesday night showed
that had not the new street sprinkler
been purchased last year, the floating
debt would have been cut $2,703.54.
As it was, the debt was increased by
upward of $1,000, the city's debt the
first of the year, outside of the bonded
debt, being $37,890.04.
The showing, in view of the increas
ed cost of everything, is considered
good.
The public utilities showed a profit
of $17,309.18, of which $16,128.16 was
spent in improvements and extensions,
the net profit being $1,182.02. The fine
reports made by Chief Bates, the school
board and the board of water, light
and sinking fund commissions brought
commendation from the council.
The annual reports showing the city’s
financial condition^ the work of the
schools and the operation of the'rpublic
utilities, with the condition of the
sinking fund, are as follows:

An important meeting for the cause
of-education was held Saturday at the
court house, many prominent educators
being in attendance to address the
gathering. While five North Georgia
counties were asked to participate in
the meeting, only one, outside of Whit
field, had representatives at the meet
ing, Catoosa county sending the county
school superintendent, Mr. Bryan, and
two members of the board of education,
the Messrs. Bandy.
Mr. J. O. Martin, state school super
visor; Mr. M. L. Duggan, rural school
agent; Mr. -E. A. Pound, high school
inspector; Mr. P. W. Chapman, Smith-
Hughes supervisor of vocational edu
cation; Mr. F. E. Land, supervisor of
industrial'rehabilitation; Mr. James A.
Kratz, of the United States Vocational
Board; Miss Lurline Parker, health and
recreation supervisor; Miss Susan Mat
thews, instructor in nutrition, and Miss
Burton, district home demonstration
agent, were the specialists here to ad
dress the meeting, which lasted from
9 o’clock in the morning through the
better part of the afternoon.
Whitfield county was urged to make
the local school tax, under the new
constitutional amendment, the max
imum of five mills, which would mate
rially increase the funds for school pur
poses, enabling the county to mate
rially increase the pay of teachers.
Mr. Duggan spoke on the advantages
of consolidated schools; Mr. Pound
spoke on high schools; Mr. Chapman,
on the vocational training; Miss Par
ker, recreation and health, and Misses
Matthews and Burton, on nutrition and
home economics work. Mr. Martin was
in charge of the meeting and discussed
briefly a number o,f matters of impor
tance to the cause of education.
Mr. Land told of the work of “in
dustrial rehabilitation,” this being
along lines similar to that employed
by the government in training dis
abled soldiers for useful occupation.
It is a work undertaken by the state
to fit disabled men and women for some
remunerative work. The benefits of
the new law extend to anyone who may
he injured in any way which would
tend to incapacitate them from work.
It also applies to those suffering from
physical defects from birth, the train
ing being similar to that given by the
government to disabled soldiers and
sailors.
Anyone desiring any information rel
ative to the : work can obtain same by-
writing F. E. Land, Care State Depart
ment of Education, Atlanta, Ga.
A Correction.
In the statement of county expendi
tures for 1920 which appeared in The
Citizen last week, the jail fees were
given as $11,866.32, when the amount
should have been $1,866.32. We are
glad to make the correction.
CONVICTS WILL BUILD
THE BEAVERDALE ROAD
Board of Commissioners Decided
Change at Thursday’s Meeting
At a special meeting of the Whitfield
County Board of Commissioners Thurs
day, following a trip of inspection to
the county convict camps, it was de
cided to move the convict gang to the
Beverdale road.
This is one of the most important
roads n the county, and has never had
convict work on it. It will, open an
excellent route into Murray county,
and will be the means of bringing addi
tional business to Dalton.
The road being through the hills,
It will be possible for the convicts to
3o much goo.l work during the winter
months.

Ed Sloan, tried in superior court
Tuesday and Wednesday of last week,-
on the charge of murder, was acquitted
by the jury, a verdict of not guilty be
ing returned within less than. two hours
after the jury was given the case.
The charge of murder against Sloan
grew out of the killing of Wright
Bishop and Jim Sloan in December
just south of Tilton. Ed Sloan was
with his brother, Jim, when the latter
and Wright Bishop shot out an old
grudge, each man being killed. The
State attempted to show that Ed Sloan
shot Bishop after Bishop had been shot
down by Jim Sloan. The defendant
maintained that he had no part in the
shooting, being unarmed at the time.
The case was given to the jury about
3 o’clock after Judge Tarver’s charge,
and the verdict of not guilty was re
turned before 5 o’clock.

Manufacturers Association
Will Reorganize and
Broaden Work
/
WILL CALL MEETING
WITHIN SHORT TIME
Plans Are to Merge Association With
Other Organizations to Work on
Lines of Chamber of Commerce
for Dalton .
The Dalton Manufacturers associa
tion, formed during the war for the
mutual interests of its members, will
seiye a broader and greater purpose
if plans of "the members of the organ
ization materialize. It is planned to
merge the organization with other Hues
of business in Dalton, forming a wide
awake, active agency to work’ for the
■best interests of the city.
Mr. J. J. oDuane, president of ’ the
organization, recently called a meet
ing. At the time, the association had
about ceased to function, as the necess
ity for it had passed with the close of
the war. Mr. Duane’s plan was to re
vive the organization and broaden its
scope,- and his plans met with unan
imous favor on the part of all' mem
bers. ....
A special committee was appointed
to draft a constitution and by-laws
for the new organization, which will be
submitted at a meeting to be called by
Mr. Duane on his return from a busi
ness trip to Chicago.
The organization, if it is formed,
will work along the lines of a chamber
of commerce. Dalton has not had an
active chamber of commerce for many
years, and this will, in all probability,
take over the work of the local cham
ber of commerce.
The work of the organization will, be
to undertake anything for the good
of Dalton and the surrounding sec
tion, and to put Over the work under
taken.
The need for such an organization is
felt here, and the plan will meet with
instant favor on the part of business
men generally, together with all others
who are interested in making Dalton
a more prosperous city and a better
place in which to live.
