Construction
On Buildin
n Building
To Begin Soon
BY GEORGE ABNEY, JR.
Auictu_nt City Editor
A Georgia State Highway
Patrol post in Athens is
nearing reality today with
the announcement that the
Clarke County Commission
ers have decided to pur
chase land near the city
limits for the construction
of the building.
The post will be located on the
Atlanta Highway on the east side
of the newly constructed State
Farmers’ Market. This location,
which is inside the city limits, is
on the north side of the highway.
Establishment of the five-man
post here was approved by the
State Highway Patrol on July 14
and since that time officials have
been in the process of selecting
a site. The site, which is being
purchased was selected by patrol
officials,
Before the post was approved
for this city the Commissioners had
voted to provide the property,
building, equip the building, and
furnish radio equipment, includ
ing a radio tower.
Signing of the deeds and other
matters in the purchase of the pro
perty is expected to be completed
this afternoon or fomorrow morn-
The site for the post will be 100
feet by 200 feet, and the building
will be approximately 40 feet by
65 feet. Plans now being drawn
for the building include sleeping
quarters, office space, reception
room, and living facilities in the
structure. Also a radio tower will
be constructed.
Construction work is expected to
begin soon, possibly within a week.
It is believed that the five-man
post will serve three or four eoun
ties.

House Demand For
Tax Committee Report
ATLANTA, July 28— (AP)-—The
Senate today gave quick endorse
ment to a House demand for @ re
port by the Tax Revision Commit
tee by December 1, 1949.
By its concurrence in the resolu
tion approved by the House yester
‘ day, the upper chamber brought to
'a head the long debated question
of when the committee would re
port, if ever.
The vote was 30 to 0. The reso
fution calls for a report of the
committee and demands that the
commiitee put recommendations
for tax revision in the hands of
legislators by December 15, 1940.
This virtually assures some ef
fort at revision of the state’s anti
quated tax structure in the Jan
uary, 1950 regular session of the
Assembly.
Meanwhile, the General Assem
bly has cleared away most of its’
major business for the current ses
sion and was about ready for ad
journment today.
All that remains for the special
session is agreement on an appro
priations bill and amendments to
the corporate income tax and ciga
rette bills. |
An administration bloc yester
day pushes the corporate tax hike
through the Senate, despite a vo
cal minority and bitter debate, |
The upper chamber passed the
measure raising corporate income
taxes from the present five and
one-half percent to seven by a 31
to 21 vote.
