THE JACKSON PROGRESS- ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
DRAINAGE PROJECT
APPROVED IN BUTTS
BRUSHY CREEK IN TOWALIGA
DISTRICT TO BE DRAINED FOR
MALARIA CONTROL. WORK
WILL BEGIN SHORT TIME
A drainage project on Brushy
Creek in Towaliga district for mala
ria control has been approved by the
CWA. Work on this project, the first
of the kind to be started in the
county, will begin as soon as neces
sary men are available.
Forty-eight unskilled laborers, a
foreman and one time keeper will be
employed on this project. The men
will be taken from the ranks of the
CWA workers and no extra help will
be employed, it is stated.
The total cost of the project is giv
er as $3,520.80.
Brushy Creek rises near Head’s
Shop and flows into the Towaliga
pond, it is stated by those familiar
with the situation.
There has 'been complaint of ma
laria in that section and it is to get
rid of this condition that the project
will be carried out. Ten acres of
bottom land will be drained, the
specifications set out.
Other CWA projects now receiving
attention include grading of the
Jackson athletic field, building of
sidewalks in Jackson and painting of
some of the county schools. Other
projects are pending and announce
ment of these will be made later.
MILLION WEEKLY
FOR STATE’S CWA
*
HUGE SUM DISTRIBUTED TO
WORKERS ON RELIEF ROLLS;
MORE THAN 88,000 EMPLOY
ED BY CWA IN GEORGIA
Macon, Ga.—The government is
spending considerably more than a
million dollars weekly in Georgia in
civil works projects, according to
Lincoln McConnell,.state dii;eptor of
re-employment.
He estimated there are 86,000 men
working on civil works and public
works projects in the state. Business
men have informed him conditions in
general are improving rapidly, he
said, and that a large part of the im
provement is attributable to CWA
funds being released in nearly all
communities.
The employment director said
there are more than 200,000 men
registered with the government re
employment offices in the state, and
he is seeking enough federal funds
to give jobs to all on the list.
He said J. Houston Johnston, state
PWA engineer, had informed him
that even if all the projects now in
prospect received approval, they
would provide employment for less
than 3,000 men.
The only prospect for these thou
sands of jobless men is through ex
tension of the CWA jobs,” he said,
“and we hope civic leaders and busi
ness men in general will join us in
appealing to Washington for addi
tional funds.”
McConnell estimated it would cost
nearly $3,000,000 weekly to give jobs
to all the jobless in the state.
“Conditions may improve by late
spring to the point where substantial
numbers will be absorbed from our
unemployed ranks for private jobs,
but the situation meanwhile is acute
for nearly all these people.”
4< VOTES POLLED IN THE
CITY ELECTION JANUARY 3
In the annual city election held
January 3 a total of 44 votes were
polled. All nominees selected in De
cember were duly elected. The new
administration will assume charge
later in the month.

ELECTRIC RATES MAY
BOOST CONSUMPTION
CHEAPER SCHEDULE OFFERED
BY GEORGIA POWER COMPA
NY EXPECTED TO BOOST RU
RAL ELECTRIFICATION
Homes throughout the greatest
part of Georgia began the new year
with the advantage of new electric
rates which are the lowest ever of
fered in the history of the state, as
a result of the reduction in residen-
tial electric rates of the Georgia
Power company ordered by the Geor
gia Public Service commission. The
new rates 'became effective with
meter readings on and after January
1.
A booklet, “More Light, More
Leisure, for Georgia Homes,” con
taining a full explanation of the
new rates has been prepared by the
power company for the information
of the public, it was announced, and
copies may be obtained at any office
or store of the company.
Unusual features of the new rate
will make this booklet of interest to
every customer, the announcement
stated. Not only does the new rate
reduce the annual electric bills of
the 108,000 homes served by the
company by a total of $660,000, 'but
the rate structure now in effect con
tains new provisions that make it en
tirely different from any type of
rate ever before offered in Georgia.
Chief among these is the fact that
customers may obtain varying
amounts of .“free electricity” and
also, by increasing their use of elec
tricity, may obtain an even lower
rate than the rate which went into
effect for all customers on January
1.
“If all of our 108,000 residential
customers use all of the free elec
tricity to which they are entitled un
der the new rates, they can get a
total of more than 20,000,000 kilo
watt hours of extra electricity dur
ing 1934 without affecting the $660',--
000 reduction in their bills,” the an
nouncement stated.
“The magnitude of the quantity
of electricity which is thus offered
free is shown by the fact that 20,-
000,000 kilowatt hours would light
a 60-watt electric light bulb continu
ously for 38,051 years. It is enough
electricity to operate the entire At
lanta street car system for nearly
six months, or it would operate a
single street car a distance equal to
200 times around the world.
“The public does not yet realize
the extent of the reduction in elec
tric rates which has been given them
by the commission’s order, and we
have published this booklet in order
that present and prospective custo
mers may be informed of the new
