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. nr ■ ■ ■ ■ . 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.
