11 distribute to the counties the
i I sums to which the counties are
f I entitled under the law... The a
i mendment merely changes the
i ' mechanics of the present sys
; ■ tern of appropriating the funds
; 1 to the counties.
“It seems clear that the con
' stitutional amendment, if adopt
ed, will not affect the existing
grants to counties for aid in
county road construction and
maintenance, as now fixed by
law.’’
Georgia counties now get $9,-
; 330.000 a year in direct grants
' from the state for building and
1 maintaining local roads. Critics
of the proposed amendment have
charged that the amendment
might cut off these grants to
the counties. But the attorney
I general's official opinion appears
1 to have clarified that point.
Hailing Mr. Cook's ruling.
' John Sammons Bell, general,
i counsel for the Association of
Georgia County Commissioners,
made this comment:
“Attorney General Eugene
Cook agrees with the opinion I
have held all along in reference
to Amendment No. 2. No one has
ever expressed an opinion to the I
contrary except two or three :
people who are trying to oppose '
it not for sound reasons but for ;
reasons best known to them.
“If the people ratify Amend
ment No. 2, they will enact one ,
of theh most progressive consti
tutional amendments in the
state’s history. Certainly the peo
ple of Georgia are tired of rid
ing over poor roads and hearing
out-of-state comments on our
poor roads.”
Meanwhile, Gov. Herman Tal
madge, a firm believer in "Let’s
keep the records straight.” wants
his position clearly understood '
regarding hie support of Amend
ment No. 2, said he:
“The campaign platform upon j
which I ran fop Governor of I
Georgia in 1950 contained the
following plank: ‘I promise to
build more than 10,000 miles of 1
new highways and rural roads
over the next few years by al
location of all gas and tag tax ।
revenues for road construction :
and maintenance.’
“My inaugural message to the
General Assembly in January, .
1951, contained the following |
paragraph: ‘Of course, under the i
state's present tax structure, such
an allocation is impossible.’ How
ever, by the time of the next
General Election, when the Tax
Revision program is fully pro
ductive. a constitutional amend
ment allocating highway user
revenues, less refunds and de
ductions allowed by law, to road
building and maintenance is. it
seems to me, not only desirable
but necessary if we are to pro
tect our present investment in
existing highways and are to
carry out for the people a sound
well-planned and continuous
building program in the future.’
“Allocation of highway user
I revenues to road building and
I maintenance is a solemn com
mitment from me to the peo
' pie of Georgia and is an irre
vocable part of the Tax Revision
program.”
