Because of the loss of a battle, al nation was lost. s | “Last Tuesday night, a group of citizens of Athens met with thl American, Legiop, to discuss plans whereby funds could bg raised to complete the swimming pool and park on Lumpkin street. At that time $3000.00 was pledged by this group of citizens to be used ftc complete the' projeet, provided t¥. it amount was raised to $5000.00 : nd the Clarke County Commission and the Mayor and City Council each would pledge $3,000.00. “The $5,000.00 was raised and on last Thursday the citizens ap peared before the county commis sioners requcsting thut body to do nate $3.000,, The reuuyest was tak en under advisement and yester day that body declined the request. We note what the County Commis sioners have to say about a bond issue. Aside from the fact that it would take from two .to five months to hold a hond election, validate and sell the bonds, we think it would be & very stupid un dertaing to ask the people to bear the expense of issuing bonds for the sum of $3,000, - . “A very' conservative estimate of the cost of holding an zlection issuing and selling bonds wcvld be between S3OO and SSOO. We do 20t believe this is good economy in addition to the fact that the time this action would take would cause the loss of the gov ernment grant. Federal Aid “The government has aready granted $7,100 in' labor and sll.- 000 in materials: provided this comniunity would purchase mates rials in the amount of $12,400. “THe Legion had carried on as far as it was humanly pessible tc so do. In our’ quandry we knew of only one thing to do—Ga te the people of Athens. Today, when the Legion was naotified of the action of the County Commissioners, we are again - placed in' the position of not knowing just wheré to turn Therefore, the Legion is again calling upon all the 'public spirit ed men and women of Atkens i meet with it on next Thursda; night, at 8 o'clock, at the ity Hal to devise some means Whereby ta¢ necessary funds to match the Gov ernment can be raisdd and Athens will have a park and swimming pool. “If the people of Athens rveally wish to see this projeet completed they will have to come to the aid of the Legion at this meeting. The time is short and action is urgent if we are to secure the appropria tion as made by the Government. “The Legion expects every pub lic spirited man and woman in Athens to be present at the City Hall, Thursday night, at 8 o'clock and save for Athens this swimming pool and park. Immediate action is as necessary to the community as was the nail to the nation. BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AMERICAN LEGION.
