Tift One of Those ) Not Reporting With tie date for distribution of the State roap fund only about ten days off, indication's are that a number of the 33 counties that have not submitted » will forfeit' their share of the ,000 realized from the sale of 1910 automobile licenses and appropriated by Legislature to road improvement work in the various counties, says tha Atlanta Georgian. Apportionment of tbe.dtf&ds must be' made before June 27, the date Judge Henry B. Strange, Secretary of 8tate, goes out of office and is succeeded by Judgf Guyt McLendon. Judge Strange reported Tuesday morning. that there are 33 counties Which - have not submitted reports ot [fwMid , '‘icillBge and the other data nec- rjr for working out the amount each ’taunt,* ia .otlHwl to, -.N»w blink, are being sent -out, and all counties that have not sent in their reports must do within fifteen days at the latest forfeit their Rhare of the money. The fund is divided among the coun- w on a basis of road Mnileage outside incorporated towns and cities. The pro ceeds of the sale of licenses for 1919 were # $.350,000, in round figures, $100, 000 of which, according to taw, wai placed in the State Treasury as a part of the general fund. Under-* a taw passed by the last Leg islature, counties receiving money from the State must- use a certain portion of it tb erect directory sign-boards at each road crossing, the remainder to be di voted to patting highways in good con dition. Judge Strange .reported that the coun ties are furthef behind this, year in making reports than any previous year in the history of the State. Counties t|utt have not made their re ports and riill lose- the money unlesa filed within the next fifteen.. day*, are Baldwin, Bartow, Btyan, Bulloch, > Cal houn, Charlton, Chatham, Crisp, Dough erty, Echols, Emanuel, Evana, Grady, Gwinnett, Habersham, Hancock, Jack- Jongs, Liberty, ‘Lowndes, Miller, Muscogee, Newton, Oconee, Oglethorpe, Quitman, Schley, Screven, Talbot, Tift, Ware, Wilcox and Wilkinson. Noto—Clerk Hitchcock, of the Board of County Commissioners of Tift said this morning that the report had not been sent in because the blank therefor had not been received. It has been customary for the Secretary of State to send out blanks each year for these reports but this year it seems this was not done. Clerk Hitchcock said he would get busy and get off the report at once. The county needs the money.
