accordance with the Revenue

against any property of Butts
County.
“H. The Authority may author
ize additional bonds, for exten

ments to any industrial building
acquired hereunder, to be placed
in escrow and to be negotiated
from time to time as proceeds
for that purpose may become
necessary. Bonds so placed in es
crow shall, when sold and de
lieverd, have such standing with
the bonds of the same issue as
may be provided in the author
izing proceedings.

bonds shall be issued hereunder
unless the Authority shall have
found and declared that:

which the bonds are to be issued
will increase employment in Butts
County;

of the building or buildings in
volved will not by virtue of es
tablishing operations in said
county, reduce the number of em
ployees employed by said lessee
or purchaser elsewhere in the
State of Georgia.

Authority from any source
other than gifts and contributions
from private individuals, firms,
or corporations shall at any time
be used for entertainment, or
other promotional expenses.

any reason be dissolved, title to
all property of every kind and na
ture, real and personal, held by
the Authority at the time of such
dissolution shall revert to Butts
County subject to any mortgages,
liens, leases or other encumbran
ces outstanding against or in
respect to said property at that
time.

ted for the purpose of promoting

good and welfare industry and
trade within Butts County and
reducing unemployment to the
greatest extent possible, and this
amendment and any law enacted
with reference to the Authority
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS. JACKSON, GEORGIA

the accomplishment of these pur
poses.

effective immediately upon proc
lamation of its ratification by

bers of the Authority shall be ap
pointed within thirty (30) days
after such proclamation.

by law further define and pre
scribe the powers and duties of
the Authority and the exercise
thereof, and may enlarge and re
strict the same, and may like
wise further regulate the man
agement and conduct of the Au
thority. The Authority shall be
an instrumentality of Butts Coun

extend the jurisdiction of the

operations beyond such limits.”
