(I sponsored promotion and resolution for this project and it is now underway, towards being solved.) 3. A small sanitary land fill for each Militia District of Butts County for the disposal of trash, junk and garbage. 4. Work to obtain State and Federal aid to help eliminate the pollution of Lake Jackson. 5. Work to obtain all weather roads for all sections of Butts County which are unpaved that are traveled by the school bus and mail carriers. 6. Formation of a County wide recreational program. (As chairman of your Board of Commissioners, I sponsored such a resolution, which has resulted in the formation and or ganization of the Butts County-Jackson Recreational Authority which has now been formed and is now in operation.) 7. Continued Permanent improvements for Indian Springs State Park. 8. The installation of a telephone answering system on a 24-hour day basis. The cost of this will be less than four (4c) Cents per hour. This answering system will be available to everyone in Butts County. 9. Continued improvements and modernization of our County Courthouse. 10. Work to obtain additional medical physicians and facilities for the people of Butts County. 11.

Economy in all expenditures of County funds to obtain maximum benefits and services for every dollar of the taxpayers money spent and a full and complete accounting thereof. As an elected official of this County, I will as I have done during the past three and one half years, pursue my duties with a sense of dedication in a spirit of harmony and compati bility to work with the other two members of this Board for the best interest of all the people of Butts County.
