Dr. H. W. Birdsong, command er of the Allen R. Fleming Post of the American Legion, today asked residents of Athens, Clarke and smrrounding counties to cooperate with the Legion in making this fair one of the greatest ever held in northeast Georgia. “The public is welcome to the fairaand . the Legion is planning to make every minute spent there one of pleasure,” Dr. Birdsong said, “Most of the work for the fair has been.left up to a few men, but the Legion as a unit has heen behind the movement whole heartedly, and we hope to make this an event that will long be re membered by every one who at tends”, the commander said. The fair committee also issued a statement teday, pointing out sev eral things about the fair that have not been stressed heretofore. Commilttee Statement The statement in full, follows: “The American Legion Fair com mittee wishes to announce plans, which it hopes will meet with the approval of the citizens of Athens and Clarke county who have re sponded royally in the past in their endeavor to _plaece in the community a place that every one is proud of and that we are still striving to finish. s “As is well known the Allen R.

J. Stegeman, we have secured the polo field for a parking space, which will be offered free of charge. “On this free parking lot a space will be marked off for the two cab companies, so that any patron of the fair may ride to and from the fair in a cab, if they so desire. “The ceity has an ordinance, for bidding parking on LumpKkin street at any time, so with the coopeéera tion of the university, we haye ar ranged a convenient parking space. “We wish also to announce that service cars and trucks maust de liver their commodities and have their vehicles off the fair grounds by 9 o’clock each day. This will be strictly enforced to insure safety to our patrons, “We have been very fortunate in securing for your entertainment the John Marks Shows, Inc., which played for us last year. We hope they will meet with your approval If they do, tell your friends, if not tell us and we have Mr. Marks’ word that he will make every' ef fort possible to improve the shows. “It is our intention to try to have a bigger and better fair each year, and if successful this year, we will start to work on next years’ fair right away and be bet ter prepared in 1936. “Phe Ipegion Auxiliary will have -meals, prepared and served at the cabin, and the Post will be back again with a country store. “The shows will arrive in Ath ens Sunday and the fair will open Monday night about 7 o’'clock. “We wish to thank you, one and all, in advance, for your kind help and advice.

GAAND JUROY PRESENTMENTS GEORGIA—CIarke County: To the Hon. Blanton Fortson, Judge of the Superior Courts: Your Grand Jurors chosen and sworn for the October term 1935 beg leave to make the following general presentment:: We have handled such eriminal business that has been brought to our attention and have return ed indictments and presentments as the facts have justified. Acting through committees, we have examined the property of the County, as well as the roads and bridges and have incorporated these reports in our general pres sentments. Roads and Bridges An inspection of the roads and bridges of the County were found. on the whole, to be in good condi tion. However, we wish to recom= mend that the following minor matters be given attention: 1. At the intersection of the Cleveland Road with the Bogart Road an additional _spill-way should be installed and the ditch lowered. 2. On the Fowlers Mill Road where the road crosses the Sea poard Railway, the railroad banks should be cut to allow full view and make this crossing less dan gerous. Also on this road about a mile from the railroad, one of the under drains has been broken oft at the end, causing a dangerous place on the side of the road. 3. The hill leading to Big Bear Creek Bridge should be top-soiled, and the road leading from the north end of this bridge should be widened. v 4. At Epps Bridge we find the steel beginning to rust and we recommend that this structure be painted. 5. The Jefferson River Road should be top-soiled in the places where the soil has worn off and th road becomes slick in wet weather. The committee noticed in a number of instances that stone dams or ditch checks had been constructed in the side ditches to ~prevent . erosion. We helieve this is good practice and should be more widely extended over the County, County Trasurer and County Commissoners Office We have examined the records of these offices and discussed the affairs with the officials in jcharge. We find that the records as kept are sufficiently to cor rectly record the receipts and dis bursements of the, cuonty funds, and we wish to commend the of ficers in charge for their efficient handling, and the neatness of the records. The treasarer of the County has furnished this committee with a consolidated statement of cash receipts and disbursements from the period of April 1, 1935, to October 1, 1935, showing a balance in the treasury as of Octboer 1, $28,470.09. This balance was veri fied by your committee by the confirmation of the halances as shown by bank statements. The statement as furnished this committee by the Treasurer is at tached hereto forming a part of our report. . Schools We have visited the schools of the County, accompanied by Mr. Rutherford Coile, County Schoo! Superintendent. We examined the physical property and make the following suggestions: HOLLY HEIGHTS: General conditions, good. Light in school room bad. Flat white paint on in side of rooms would improve this condition. JUDIE C. JACKSON HARRIS COLORED TRAINING SCHOOL: Urge completion of auditorium. Dry rot has set in on storm sheathing. Building felt being [must be shown)—Prize for best trio (one cock and two hens), 182.50; best cock (male bird over one year), $1.50; best hen (female over one year), $1.50; best cock erel (male bird under one year), $1.50; best pullet (female bird un der one year), $1.50. COLTS (two or more must be shown)—Prize for horse colt, $3.00; second prize, $2.00. Mule colt, first prize, $3.00; second prize, $2.00. Best individual, $5.00. First prize in the farm and home display will be $35. Second prize will be sls; fourth prize, sls; anl fifth prize, sls. The above prizes are for displays such as 4-H and Home Demonstration clubs. They will be awarded as fol lows: quality, 25 percent; ap pearance, 30 percent. Appearance will be judged by construction, 5 percent; balance, 5 percent; color, 5 percent; arrangement, 16 per cent. Variety will county 20 per cent, and educational value, 2§ percent. Prizes for individual farm dis plays will also be awarded. These are, first prize, $5; second prize, $4; third prize, $3; fourth prize, $2; fifth prize, $2; sixth prize, $2; seventh prize, $2. They will be awarded by qual ity of the product, which will | count 50 percent; variety, 25 per cent, and arrangement, 25 per- —ESTABLISHED 1838 torn away by wind and weather. Grass should be cut away for 6 feet or more to make fire break around auditorium. Minor repairs needed on main building. Annex needs painting. MIDWAY SCHOOL: Needs seve eral window panes. Weather board needs replacing. Porch and steps need to be replaced or re “paired. Chimneys need re-topping. Numerous minor reairs. Badly in need of painting inside and out. WINTERVILLE GRAMMAR and HIGH SCHOOL: ' Auditorium has apparent leak in roof. Shrubbery needs trimming to below window sills to allow light to get into rooms. All rooms need painting inside with flat white: Minor re pairs needed. General conditions good. MORTON'S CHAPEL: General ‘conditions, bad. Glass out of win dows. Frames and sash bad. Needs painting inside and out. Porch and steps bad. New build ing needed. GAINES SCHOOL: Building in good repairs. Inside of rooms need painting flat white. WHITEHALL (JOSEPH M. HODGSON): Conditicn good . Seats in auditorium need replac ing. All rooms need painting flat white inside. Roof needs fixing around chimney before wind rips composition roofing off. { PRINCETON: New school should be completéd before bad weather sets in. CHESTNUT GROVE: Bad gen eral repairs inside and out. HINTON-BROWN: Good condi tion. Inside should be painted. FOWLER SCHOOL: Although this is a Community Schoc! we suggest that some help be given the school in obtaining part of a new roof, two new black boards and several minor repairs. : As a whole the school buildings all need some repairs with some improvements on all, but we be lieve that the Superintendent of Schools has done* exceptionally well with the amount of funds available. As practically all funds were needel for teaching facilities there was none left for repairs. It is the opinion of this commit tee that some $15,000 to $20,000 could be spent on needed repairsg that would put all of these build ings (exclusive of ' Princeton School) in excellent repairs. Public Buildings Ar examination of the public buildings was made and we make the following suggestions which we find will improve the efficiency of the County management and at the same time be a saving to the County: COURT HOUSE: Modernize the plumbing system. Install addi tional toilets for employees on the first floor. Repairs to roof and skylight. Additional toilet and lavatory in room on top floor, west end, making it available as a cell. Hand rail to left side of stepa leading down into rceord room from Clerk’s office. Repair walls and re-decorate buildnig. We rec ommend making use of all avail able W, P. A. funds as early as can be obtained. GENERAL HOSPITAL: We found conditions as a whole in this building in satisfactory shape and under efficient management. We recommend that necessary ad dition and repairs be made to the colored ward. Necessary repairs to sterilizer. Light for front steps to be provided. FAIRHAVEN HOSPITAL: We found the main building in good condition with the exception of a few leaks in the roof and dam aged walls caused from these leaks. There are, also, leaks in the colored ward building. These should be repaired as soon as pos sible. CONVICT CAMP: Everything at the Convict Camp seems to be in excellent condition, Prisoners quarters comfortable. POOR FARM: We visited all the different houses and talked with the inmates and they all seem to be comfortable and contented. We found ths grounds well kept and attractive at both the convict camp and the poor farm, We wish to compliment the cus todians of the various institutions visited on their efficient manage ment., Tax Receiver, Tax Collector, Sheriff, Ordinary and Clerk’s Offices We have investigated the offices of the Sheriff, Tax Collector, Tax Receiver, Clerk of the Superior Court and Ordinary and find a complete audit of these several offices has just been completed by Messrs. Seals and Pennington of Atlanta for the period between October 1, 1934, to September 30 1935. With this audit in hand youvr committee visited these offices and took wup the matters which this audit suggested that were of most Ppmportance with the different of \he affairs so these offices are in the agairs of these offices are in excellent condition. We wish to thank these officers for their courtesy while we were making this tour of inspection. In passing we wish to comment on a portion of the Auditor's re port concerning the Athens Gen eral Hospital. We note from this report that from the period of Octoher 1, 1934, to September "(t 1935, cash receipts amounted tu $42,240.95. For the period ending September 30, 1935, bills receiv able amounted to $30,878.60. In vestigation discloses that around $18,300.00 of these bills recievable are for the period of October 1, 1934, to September 30, 1935. : In our opinion more than 70 percent of the accounts receivable should be collected and we rec ommend to those in authority that more diligence be given to the collection of these accounts and that if necessary, where the money can be made suits be filed to enforce collection. The hills receivable totaling $30,878.60 include those not only for the year, October 1, 1934, to September 30, 1935, but prior to that time also. We feel that the citizens of our County would be interested in a few facts as to the condition of the County. and its management, and take this opportunity of sub mitting the following as a part of our presentments for publicity in this connection. Clarke County bonds are selling as high as any municipal bonds ‘in the United States; and under its government all bills are dis counted, no money for current ex penses having been borrowed for upwards of two decades. Careful and efficient purchasing on 4 com petitive und cash basis through a central office saves the taxpayers literally thousands of dollars.” An annual audit by Certified Public Accountants -shows. to the people precisely what services their tax money purchases. These and other gradual developments have prac tically obliterated over-lapping in all departments. Such functions of government as public welfare and health, in icluding hospitalization and relief for the underprivileged are taken care of in cooperation with the City Government of Athens, through one .central public welfare office insuring efficient handling and obviating over-lapping. The people of the community are responsible for the sound, nat ural and efficient development of our local government, which has been largely free from unsound experimentation, by electing to office the efficient and dependable gentlemen who octupy the various county offices. ~ '‘Clarke County is furnishing lo cal services to its people second to none in the State.. A ten mill tax rate has been maintained through the depression with property tax digest thirty percent below normal, in spite of the fact prior to the depression when money was plentiful, large bond issues were voted to provide hospitaliza tion and other additional services. During the past few years the¢ bonded indebtedness has been mit terially reduced. As shown by th audit of Sep tember 30, 1935, of Seals & Pen nington prenared for the County covering the period of September 30, 1934, to September 30, 1935, the amount of taxes levied and col lected by Clarke County have sgteadily decreased since 1925, while property values have de creased from $16,895,275.00 in 1925 to $13,844,469.00 in 1934, There has also been a decrease in the tax rate from 13 mills in 1925 to 10 mills in 1984, The decrease of $3,050,806.00 in property values and decrease in tax rate of 3 mills have reduced the amount of taxes levied from $219,638.58 in 1925 to $138,444.69 in 1984. This latter is a decrease of $81,198.89 in taxes paid by taxpayers of Clarke County. The levies made in 1933 and 1934 are the smallest since the year 1919, in spite of the increased gov ernmental servcies being pro vided. At the present time Clarke County has assets of one and three-quarter million dollars over liabilities. ' The charges of inefficiency, ex .travagance,v uselessness, and over lapping of services made against lthe Counties of Georgia by the editors of the State and others | who are supposed to know all iabdut public ' questions are cer tainly not true in connection with ' the government of Clarke County. i No doubt Clarke County and many uther counties will emerge from these criticisxms with greater im portance than €ver before. The failure ot the Legislature !to pass an appropriation bill 1s | another serious threat to the gov ernment -of this County and all other Counties in the State. If the State can not levy a tax under the Constitution arnd laws of Georgia, then the Counties will be pre cluded from making levies for the County levies must be made on the State levy. We are taking this means of calling tc the attgntion of our people the erisis that is theing fecaed by our local govern 'ment for their serious considera tion with the hope that our Coun ty may continue the services that are now »eing provided osur peo ple. We recommend that Vergil V. Harris, Jr.,, be appointed Notary Public and Ex-officio Justice of the Peace of 1347th District, G. M., Clarke County, Georgia. We recommend that the Clerk of the body .be paid SIO.OO addi tional compensation for his ser vice. : We recommend that the Jury. A. B. C. Paper—Single Copies, 2c—s¢c Sunday Bailiff fees and such other fees coming under our jurisdiction be fixed for the ensuing year at the same rate as for the past year. As stated above our work was done mostly through committees and these committees report that they are well pleased with the general condition of the affairs of our County and . they are espec ially grateful for the courtesy which the officers of the Count extended them. . We take this opportunity of commending to the citizéns anid tax papers of this County our offi cials, We feel we have one of the best managed counties of the State of Georgia. We especially swish to commend our judicial and arresting officers for the work thes are doing toward enforcing the law and eliminating crime in our ‘community., We wish to thanhk Honorable Blanton Fortson and Solicitor General Henry H. West for their efficient service and cour tesy to this body. ; We recommend that these pre ' sentments be published in our two - newspaers. ; , M. N. TUTWILER, Foreman. W. D. AMIS, Clerk. 6.
