:m: —"
The telephone operators have re
quested that a clear explanation of
the different classes of long dis
tance telephone service be given.
From questions asked, it seems
that many people do not know how
to select the ser
vice best suited
to their needs. • \
•* When you wish
to talk to a par- \
ticular person at
a distant tele-
phone and are not
sure that the person wanted will be
In immediate reach of the telephone
wherf you call, then use person
to-person service. But if you are
sure the person you want will be
near the telephone when you call,
then you could save by using the
cheaper station-to-station service.
When you make a station-to-sta
tion call, the telephone company
simply coTinccts you with the tele
phone wanted, and charges begin
when the distant telephone an
swers. So when using this service,
be sure the person you want will be
nedr the telephone, or else be ready
to talk with whoever answers.
The day station-to-station rates
between the hours of 4:30 A. M.
and 7:00 P. M. are about 25 per
cent less than the person-to-person
rates. The evening rates from 7:00
P. M. until 8:30 P. M. are about 25
per cent less than the day station
to-station rates. The night rates
from 8:30 P. M. until 4:30 A. M.
are about half the day rates. For
example, a person-to-person call
that costs $1.25 will cost about 50c

WHITFIELD WARNS
OF HIGHER TAXES
PULASKI COUNTY COMMISSION
ER DECLARES MORE TAXES
BE ADDED UNLESS HIGHWAY
ROW IS SETTLED
Hawkinsville, Ga.—J. J. Whitfield,
county commissioner of Pulaski
county, issued a statement Saturday
on the highway controversy, declar
ing that “if the board’s plans are
upset the taxpayer will be forced to
stand an increased tax levy to care
for its convicts.”
“The question of county contracts
with the state highway board is in
the limelight in the present alarm
ing situation faced by this important
department of our state,” he said.
“With the organiation of the high
way board in 1919, the dumping on
it of approximately 5,000 miles of
unimproved country roads, not
enough money was allocated to it to
so much as to label the highways as
such.
“Federal aid went begging, and
then it was thaf the counties came
to the rescue and by county bond
issues mafehed these federal funds,
putting up 50 per cent and later
when some gas tax was given the
department it shared with the coun
ties the matching penalty, each go
ing 25 per cent, while the federal
bureau put up 50 per cent.
“This aid through the years aggre
gated over $26,000,000 and by this
generous gift from the counties, it
enabled the state highway depart
ment to receive from the United
States bureau approximately a like
sum, and without this help, there
would be but few black lines on the
present highway map to indicate hard
surface road.
“And the contractors of the state
have fattened out of the millions of
dollars contributed by the counties,
and made possible other millions ob
tained from the federal government
foi all funds from bond issues of the
counties went to award contracts to
contracting firms.
“Is there another ‘association or
‘group’ that has placed any funds
into the treasury of the highway
beard?
“True the counties are to be re
imbursed, eventually, with non in
terest bearing certificates, but the
counties had to stand all interest
charges, on their bond issues, and
this well exceed twenty million dol
lars.
“This lift from the counties was
opportune —it was that which en-
I
abled construction to reach its peak
—to go over the top.
“Now Georgia has an acute con
vict situation, that no states'man or
near statesman of the past legisla
ture, or any state official made any
attempt to solve. With its 7,000 con
victs a toll of approximately $3,000,
000 is annually extracted from the
pockets of the over-burdened tax
payers of the counties.
“The highway board recognized an
opportunity to serve, and in the
spirit of reciprocity, are undertaking
to relieve the distressed taxpayers in
giving counties contracts, just large
enough to care for the convicts, and
at the same time give the wider dis-
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
tiibution of the state highway funds.
“The law creating the highway
board makes the county commission
ers a unit of the organization—af
filiate members. These contacts give
them a voice to be reckoned with.
‘.‘By virtue of this responsibility
they must observe the operation of
the highway board of contracts,
whether to counties or contractors
and in position to endorse, which
they do, the efficiency of the engi
neering staff and out of the millions
of dollars spent, and hundreds of
contracts executed under their su
pervision, it is heartening to know
the insignificant number of kicks, as
the three or four recently made,
(unfounded as they are) were a
serry reference to the 100 per cent
perfect score in the tremendous to
tal.
“If the present poicy and usual
activities of the state highway board
is ruthlessly upset, as the effort is
now being made to bring about, then
every taxpayer in all the counties
will be forced to stand an increased
tax levy to care for its convicts.”
