LEGAL
GEORGIA, BRANTLEY COUNTY
To the qualified voters of Brant
ley County:
Your Commissioners of Roads and
Revenue, have determined that it
is to the best interest of the County
to offer to the voters a proposed
bond issue of $240,000.00, at a rate
of interest not to exceed 3V4 per
cent, payable in twenty annual pay
ments of $16,500.00 each, including
interest. And an election will be
called on July 15th, 1954, to give
you voters an opportunity to deter
mine if such an issue is to the best
interest of the County.
The Board has taken this action
for the following reasons:
1. Defective bridges are the prin
cipal ground under which a suit
may be brought against the County,
and it is possible that growing out
of one accident a judgment could
be obtained against the County, that
would exceed the whole cost of re
placing our present wooden bridges,
with modern concrete bridges.
2. The traffic is constantly be
coming heavier, and the loads lar
ger, so that the costs of repairing
and maintaining the bridges be
comes constantly more expensive.
3. It has become almost impossible
to obtain any good timber for
bridges, and the price is very high.
4. The replacement with modern
concrete of our old wooden bridges
is a capital expenditure, that the
County is not financially able to
undertake without buying on time
The County, being very much like
an individual in its money policy,
must go into debt in order to ef
fect the improvement even as you
must usually buy an automobile or
other machine, by installment buy
ing.
5. The County is currently and
has been for a long number of years
spending around $20,000.00 annual
ly repairing old wooden bridges,
and they show no improvement. As
fast as repairs are made increased
loads and traffic call for new re
pairs.
Modern concrete bridges, last for
around 100 years, and require no
substantial repairs.
Should the voters determine that
such a bond issue would be in the
public interest, the costs of obtain
ing the issue would not exceed as
a whole the sum of $2,000.00.
hl
Should the voters determine to
the contrary the cost would be very
slight, only the cost of calling the
election.
The Board earnestly requests that
you give serious thought to this
problem. It is a county and com
munity problem that has to be met
in some manner.
It will require a tax levy of one
half cent on the dollar of taxable
property to pay the cost of the pro
posed concrete bridges. The Board
is of the opinion that when these
bridges are built, the levy for re
pairs to bridges could be substan
tially reduced. This Board has with
in its limited means made every
effort to provide as good system of
County roads as is possible.
Yours sincerely,
COMMISSIONERS OF ROADS
AND REVENUE, BRANTLEY
COUNTY, GEORGIA.

Warns of Need
For Better
Egg Market Plan
“Georgia’s commercial egg
production program has grown at
a faster rate than our egg mar
keting system,” a University of
Georgia poultry leader said this
week.
John Mauldin, poultry mar
keting specialist for the Agricul
tural Extension Service, called
attention to recent drops in
wholesale egg prices and to over
loaded egg markets in some
areas of the state.
from 10 to 15 callers daily ped
dling eggs,” Mauldin stated,
“and there is not enough effici
ency to insure a quality egg."
Eggs are being sold in Georgia
in more than 200 different car
tons and under as many differ
ent brand names.
With these conditions the
housewife cannot be sure of
egg quality and retail and whole
sale dealers who buy eggs, from
flock owners cannot be sure of
a year-round supply. “When
such un-organized conditions
exist,” Mauldin warned, “the
producer goes from one market
outlet to another seeking the
best price. This makes it im
possible for the wholesaler and
retailer to be certain of a con
tinuous flow of Georgia-produc
ed eggs.”
