‘Other Officials, However,
\' Asked to Accept Similar
| Reduction in Salaries
Announcement was made by the
Clarke county commissioners Fri
day that effective July 1, “a uni
form salary and wage reduction of
ten per vent” will be made.
The commissioners, point out;
that the order covers employes
whose salaries and wages it fixes,
but recommends reductions of sal
aries of personnel. of the depart
ment of health, tax receiver, tax
collector; and other officlals not
under its direct control,
‘ The commissioners also npprove}
jof, the recommendations of a re
cent grand jury to lease the Gen
eral hospital, or close it, unless
{he maintenance costs are reduced,
'hut points out that it will be Oe
'l’Ob(’l‘ before a proper audit can

The order of the commission fol
']ows: St
““Upon motion, 'it is ordered by
the hoard that a uniform salary
and wage reduction of ten percéent
be and the same is made on all
employgs of Clarke county whose
salaries and wages are fixed by
this board, beginning July 1, 1933.
And that all officers *whose sal
aries and fees are fixed by law be
requested to take a like voluntary
cut beginning as of the same date;
except ag hereinafter stated.
“In view of the fact that some
of the officers of the county did
not. accept a cut of ten per cent
on October 1, 1931, it Is ordered
that these officers be requested 1o
accept cuts of nineteen per cent
beginning July 1, 1933.
“In view of the reductions in
salaries and wages made by the
trustees of the Athens General
Hospital on March 20, 1933 effect

“In view of the reduction here

Jury Recommendations
“Taking up the recommendations
of the January term, 1933 of the
Clarke County Grand Jury in or

“1., The salary of the Judge of
the Superior Court was fixed years
ago. As this is a constitutional of
fice, we do not believe that this
salary can be reduced until the
end of the term. In fairness, how
ever, we feel that this office should
be reduced only in the same pro
poriton as other officers are re
duced. 1
“2. + The City Coiirt 6f Athens
was created by the Legislature
prior to the time that this boand
was created. The only duty or re
sponsihility that rests on this
board in this connection is to pro
vide funds for its necessary func
“3. The Jury recommended a
twenty per cent reduction in the
maintenance of the court house
and jail. This board hopes to ef
fect some saving in this depart
ment.
“4, The Jury recommended a
cut of twenty-five per cent in the
road department., This board can
not get rid of the conviets and
unless the county can continue to
secure contracts from the State
and Federal government the road
expenseé will increase instead ol
decrease.
“5. The Jury recommended a
twenty per cent eut in the office
of the County Engineer anl the
Clerk of the County Commission
ers. Reductions effecting these
offices are taken care of in the
general reduction ordered.
Ҥ. The Jury recommended that
the Tax FEqualizers be paid the

“Sweet Adeline” Arises From Her Bier
And Sounds About as Good in 3.2 Time
As She Did in Days Before Anti-Sellum
By DALE HARRISON
NEW YORK. — (AD") — Sweet
Adeline arose Friday from her
hier. .
She was the same’ old girl, a
bit off key In snols,. with ‘eveps
ope wanting to carry the tenor;
but just as sweet and adenoidal as
when she foldedl her arms aecross
her breast 13 vears ago and ealled
it a day. "
48 a selection in the upper reg
ister of classic composition she
was a bit ragged; but then, she
never pretendcd to art. '
Surprising, too, how many peo
ple remembered her. They rested
unaccustomed clbows against news
varnished hars, spoke a few “pro
sits” one to the other, exchanged
glances of understanding, and
then with only their long idle in
stinets to serve as the baton, they
burst forth in unison: 2
“Sweet Adeline.” i
The lady sounded about the
same in 3.2 time as in the days
before anti-sellum. She came haeck
with’ a vigor and verve that as
tonished some of the expfrts who
felt that ‘perhaps she had lost
her Kkick.
. Once more, as before, she served
as the great breaker-down of so
cial strata. Austere gentlemen in
immaculate monkey suits were obh
served with their arms about the
shoulders of sturdy truck drivers,
SRVANNAH BEACH
MAY HAVE BEER
Alderman’s Proposal
Would Permit Sale of
‘Brew as “Near Beer”
i —— g
SAVANNAH, GA. — () — Sa
vannah Beach, known on the map
as Tybee Island, is looking for
ward to a bumper crop of ‘Con
ventions thig summer if Alderman
W. G. Logan*s ordinance which
will permit the sale of beer on the
island, is pased by the town coun.
c¢il Friday afternoon——and it ap
pears as if it will be passed,
Alderman Logar has taken the
position that, since the federal
government has ruied that 3.2 per
cent beér is not an intoxicant and
does not come within the scope
of the 18th amendment, therefore
it can legally be sold as ‘near
beer’. His ordinance will provide 2
tax of 100 on dealers in ‘near
beer’,
The announcement came as 4
soothing relief to those whe
awaited with considerable interest
the attitude the town of Tybee
wouald officialiy take toward the
nuewly legalized beverage. So far
as is shown, should he ordinance
be passed, Savannah Beack will be
the only spot :n Georgia that wil
be wet with official sanction.
The problem confronting those
who operate such places of amuse
ment at Tyhee will be to bring in
the beer cargoes. It is pointed out
that there will likely be no diffi
culty in securing their cargoes
from South Carolina in the event
that state legalizes the sale of
heer and indications are ‘that
South Carolina will legalize beer

SUBENTS DFPOSE,
~ JPPROVE SESSION
More Legislators Reported
Favoring Session to Le
galize Beer in Ceorgia
As two groups of students at the
Universily of Georgia Friday ex
pressed divergent views on the
question’ of a session of the legis
lature to legalize and tax beer,
Representative . Bugene A. Epting
of Clarke county’ reported more
members of the assembly as fa
voring the special session move
ment. .
One group of students at the
University, disagreeing with the
Athens Ministerial Association
which Thursday urged . Governor
Talmadge not to call a special ses
sion, urged the chief executive to
issue a call for the session and
legalize Dheer, to prevent heer
racketeering and provide addition
al tax revenues for the state.
The other group, styling itsell
the “Student Better Government
League,” endorsed the action of
the governor in refusing to call a
special [session immedigtely, and
declared:
“We hereby commend his ex
cellency, Governor Rugene Tal
madge, for his refusal to he stam
peded by the wet press and the
beer barons into calling a special
session of the legislature to leg
alize and epntrol the sale of beer
in Georgia.”
The other group of siudents, in
disagreeing with ~ the ministerial
association pinted out that as
“young democrats we followed the
leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt
last November to his glorious vies
tory.. We &ee no reason why we
should wrepudiate him now. We
feel that the large tax revenue to
Ise derived f9om Tegislaltion and
control of heer sales in Georgla
will help the Confederate veterans,
our common schools and our high
er institutions of education, and
we believe the state should take
prompt action to legalize beer
control its sale and reap the tax
benefits instead of allowing suck
money to flow into the treasuries
of other states.”
Commend Talmadge
The Student Better Government
League, in commending the gov
ernor, declared Georgia is to be
congratulated and “it is a matter
for prayerful thanksgiving that we
have a chief executive so well
known for his earnest determina
tion to safeguard the laws of the
land at this crisis of our nation’s
history, and we take this neans
to wdenounce as malicious propa
ganda of the liquor interests, the
whisperings that the governor re
fused to call the session because
he is afraid of impeachment by
the legislature.”

isterial association, and its desire
to protect the morals of “boys and
