A iitatement in which he prom
ises support of a pi®" to ncauirs
n system of small parks for Ath
ens either through councilmanic
action or 6y legislative action,
was given The Banner - Herald
Hiurulay bv H. T. Culp. Mr; Culp
says that if legislative action is
required, he will introduce and
support a bill in the General As
sembly, if he is elected to that
cffke, designed to carry through
the neeesiary plan*. He is a can
didate for the Democratic nomina
tion for legislature from Clarke
county.
Mr. Culp's statement follows
"Some time «ko u committee
was appointed by the Chamber of
Commerce for the purpose of Ob
taining small plots of city proper
ty from time to time to build a
park system. It will require ap
propriations, from the city treas
ury to purchase the park proper
ty. and os a member of city coun
cil, I am in favor of such appro
priations not to exceed $800 per
annum for the present.
"While no p’att has been worked
out, it may be possible to appoint
a committee from council*to act
os custodian, of the funds appro
priated annually to be eventually
tnpHed to purchase of the plots
jf land for the community parks.
If it can be Worked out without
legislative action, I am in favor of
that. However, if it requires leg
islative action, if I am elected to
the General Assembly from
Clarke county, I promise to in
troduce and support a bill for that
purpose. However, t am frank to
say that I think the extra park
fcoard. If a.*y, should be under the
jurisdiction of council, ns the main
advantage of a special board
would be in the permanency of the,
personnel.
