Pound.
Installing the newly elected city
officials was City Court Judge
Authur Oldham., Mayor pro-tem
Luther Bond took the chair while
the oath of office was administered
to incumbent Mayor Wells. Coun=-
cilmen installed were John Bond
urant, Curtis Lovern, Walter Dan
ner, Luther Bond, and Owen Ro
berts. Comer Owens was installed
a Civil Service Commissioner
while T. M. Philpot vsill be in
stalled a Commissione: at a later

ing included C. S. Denney, Lu
ther Bond, W. C. Thompson, John
Pondurant, W. H. Phillips, Curtis
Lovern, M. B. Pound, Albert Weir,
jr., and Owen Roberts.
Also on the agenda was the re
port of council committee on spe
cial resolutions and ordinances,
headed by M. B. Pound. As is cus
tomary, the Mayor was given the
power to borrow up to $150,000 for
the city functions between the

fc ' the City to borrow the total

commendation of the committee.
Ordinance Passed
The License Ordinance of 1951
with several modifications was
passed as amended with the only
discenting vote being cast by
Councilman Bondurant. The clause
in the ordinance having to do with
“money lenders” with the excep
tion of National and City Banks
and Federal Loan Associations”
was discussed fully before passage
of the ordinance. At the sugges
tion of several members of the
council, the proposed modification
of the ordinance which set the
license at SSOO for money lending
with the exception of the above
named organizations was amended
to except transactions with real
estate as security.
City Attorney James Barrow ex
plained to the body of city law
makers that there is no exact line
for determining when money lend
ing becomes a business and ceases
to be a friendly aid to business as
sociates.
Also incorporated in the money
lending modification of the ordin
ance was the stipulation that at
any time the City would have the
right to inspect the books of any
loan company and if irregularities
were found and the proprietor Ǥ
the company should be convicted
of wrong-doing in connection with
the loaning of money the license
would be suspended.
Another point under discussion
in the ordinance setting licenses
was the modification which would
allow a business proprietor who
expanded his business to include
a new field of business to apply
his original license money paid
for the first business on the second

Governor Pushing
For Repeal Stale
Ad Valorem Taxes
In pre- legislative confenences
with members of the Georgia Gen
eral Assembly, Governor Herman
Talmadge has reiterated his desire
that the coming session of the Le
gislature will complete passage of
a constitutional amendment reduc
ing the state’s ad valorem tax from
5 mills to only a token one-fourth
mill.
The Governor announced last
year that he wanted to see the
state withdraw from this field of
taxation, leaving it to the coun
ties and municipalities. An amend
ment to do so passed the 1951 Sen
ate by a vote of 47 to 1 but never
came up for passage in the House.
Governor Talmadge has long
been an advocate of strengthen
ing city and county governments
of the state and feels that the re
tirement of the State from the ad
valorem or property tax field
would greatly benefit the fiscal
operations of the counties and cit
-I€S-
The Governor is expected in his
opening address to the General
Assembly to urge that passage of
the amendment be completed. If
passed it will be voted on by the
people in November 1952.

MOVE OUT
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaya —
(AP) — The Federation govern
ment has admitted failure to its
program of resettlement at the vil
lage of Bukit Changgang in Selan
gor and has decided to eliminate
the village.
A governmnt statement said the
place had been the haunt of a
gang of Communist terrorists and
the people of the village and re
settlement camp had failed to co
operate with the government—in
fact, had continued relations with
the terrorists.
About 170 Chinese squatter
families are being moved to Port
Swettenham 30 miles away. The
evacuation was carried out as a
surprise maneuver. The settlers
suddenly were wakened by loud
speakers at dawn and told to move

U. 5. Marriaaes
Decline In 195¢
NEW YORK, — There were
1,580,000 marriages in the United |
States in 1951, which is a declinei
of five percent from the 1950 fi-!
gure, Methropolitan Life Insur
ance Company statisticians report.
This continues a downward
trend which has existed since the
all-time high of 1946 established
in part by returning World War
IT veterans. During these years
the downswing was interrupted |
only by a nine-month spurt—July |
of 1950 through March of 1951— |
following the outbreak of the Ko-‘
rean war. After March the decline 1
was resumed.
In October and November of |
1951, the statisticians note, the |
marraige rate was at a lower level !
than in the months of any year
in more than a decade.
‘The most marked declines in
1951 were in the West North Cen- |
tral states—Minnesota, lowa, Mis- |
souri, North Dakota, South Dakota, |’
Nebraska, and Kansas — and in |
West Virginia, Kentucky, Mon
tana, Arizona, and Oregon,” the
statisticians observe. “Each of
these states shows a drop of 10
percent or more. On the other
hand, marriages increased by
about six percent in Delaware and |
Georgia, and by a smaller margin '
