A Thought For The Day
SETTLE IT NOW
Athenians pay taxes on sixteen of 1 the nineteen mil
lions worth of taxable property in Clarke county.in
order to keep up the county government. In addition
to that the city tax payers also pay taxes to the city
to pay for the cost of city-governing boards. If the
county and city can get better service at the same
total cost by combining two departments now func
tioning separately ip the city and county in the same
work why should there be objection by any tax payer
in Athens? Therefore, we are astounded to lenrn
that there is opposition 1o combination of the city and
county health boards on the ground that Athens
would pay for most of the expense of operating the
consolidated boards. ■
■ At the present time Athens citizens, who pay taxes
at all, support, for the most part, the health work of
tbQ jeounty. In addition these same tax payers sup
port the work of the city health department. If the
two boards are combined Athens will get the full
service of an additional health officer at the same cost
to the individual tax payer that he now shoulders.
The only difference this combination will effect will
be in the increased efficiency in health work the
county, city and incorporated towns will obtain. In
addition to that the sanitary department will be
g)y4n the p-ervice of a full timd chief—all for the same
mnnntt h id 1MWV ffiulinif t.VlP CitV tllltl COUI1*
amount of money it is now costing the city and coutv
ty. It is true the city budget sheet will show that
Athens is paying more for operation of the united
■_ boards than the county but so long as it is the same
to the tax payer in the long run why should there be
any objection? ....
<A eomriiittee has been appointed to consider the
- combination of the two boards. This committee has
deferred action on the proposed bill until next year.
Tho Banner-Herald cannot see why, this committee
should not decide DEFINITELY on the matter for all
lime insofar as it is concerned and not delay action
r.*< until next year even though it is too late now to get
the bill through the present session’of tjie legislature.
HARTWELL FOLLOWS SUIT
Hhrtwell has taken a leaf from Athens’ book of
progress and the City Cmintil there is making plans
![: to pass a law providing for meat inspection. This is a
step which should bo taken by a II,towns and cities.
Before the opening of the Athens abattoir and in-
, rtallation of compulsory meat inspection there is no
-- telling what kind of meat Athenians were eating-
r Now, as a result of rigid inspection regulations, the
! citizens arp assured that the meat they eat is not
Impure. ... *
The result has stimulated demand, for native meat
which, before the abattoir and meat inspection, found
its Western competitor fnr more In demand. Thous
ands of dollars have been kept at ■ home—money
which formerly was sent west.for meat—and now la
, being spent in northeast Georgia. . .
The demand for native meats has exausted the
supply. There is an excellent market in Athena for
cattle and hogs—not rlfrnf. but high grade animals.
The City Council of Hartwell’cr any other town
enn perform no greater service to its people than to
enact the most rigid laws with reference to the sale
of food and in providing for meat inspection the peo
ple of that town are being protected from no telling
what consequences.

. MAKE 1925 CONVENTION YEAR .
Athens has allowed the opportunity to pass to se
cure conventions for next year. It may be pos
sible to secure some which have not decided on a
meeting place, but that opportunity is slim and ex
tremely doubtful. The proposition for the people of
Alliens to take hold of is to mnke preparation for
1925 by going after all conventions meeting in this
and adjoining states next year. Practically every
i convention holding annual meetings prefers this city
to any other in the state and it is only a question of
‘ ’baking for them. Here we have every advantage
unci every inducement to offer for the holding of
large gatherings. With ample hotel and boarding
house facilities and five railroads entering the city
from all sections of the nation as, well aa of the .state,
th<- .University of Georgiul and two of .its branches
located here and many historical attractions, visitors
anxious to come here and to spend the whole time
an interesting way, seeing the many advantages
i^Hossessed by Athens.
It Is only a question of letting it be known in order
to secure conventions for this cite’, hnd if we wjll go ,
about the matter in the ptdper way, 1925 can ; be
made the greatest convention year in the hitsory of.
. Athens. An organization should be perfected and im
mediate work commenced to interest the convention
members in coming to this city for their annual out-,
/limp.' It is safe to predict that thus city can secure sev
enty-five per cent of the conventions to be held in
thd state provided the proper effort is made. It can
not be done by talking, but concerted action must
: be had and active work and solicitation commenced
early in the year and not wait until all meetings
have been'decided upon for the following year be
fore we ask for them.
