Prominent Leader Begins
37th Year As President
At Meeting Today.
BUDGET ADOPTED
Dr. E. VL. #ill' ¥s°Vice:
President; Others
Are Named.
Dr. John D. Mell, has begun
his thirty-seventh year as presi
dent of the city Board of Educa
tion, being re-elected at 4, meet
ing recently, when all 1935. officers
were re-elected, a budget adopted,
and several committee reports
made.
Dr. Mell- was first named presi
dent of the Board in 1899, succeed
ing J. A. - Hunnicutt, and has
served in that capacity for each
successive year. Other officers
for 1936 are Dr. E. L. Hill, vice
president; B. M. Grier, secretary;
and Jim Barrow, treasure,
According to estimates of Mr.
Grier, city schools should be op- |
erated on about 8146700 in 1936,
which would leave a small balance
at the end of the fiscal year. The
estimated receipts for the year are
$146,737.
Budget Presented |
In presenting the budget to the
board for adoption, Mr. Grier said
“estimate of the receipts on the
whole seems to be very conserva
tive, yet must be made with res
ervations and a greater degree of
uncertainty that heretofore, be
canse of the far reaching effects
op.ithe. state governgment operate
ing without am ' appropriations
bill.” i R -
The audit for the past six
months shows a balance on hand
of $14,311:66. of which 'approxi
mately SI,OOO is a fund held in
trust by the board, allocated to
military uniforms and athletic
accounts. The cash on hand, ac
cording to Mr. Grier's estimate,
minus the trust fund, is $13,650.
Approximately $112,500 will be
collected for school operation from
the city, and $17,637 from the
state of Georgia. Tuition will net
about $1,500, the Vocational board
$1,200 and miscellaneous, SSOO.
Amount Is Less
“The amount estimated from the
city of Athens i® $5,000 less than
what was actually received during
the past year, but is considered
by the tax authorities as a coOn
