I must tell you.
Mr. Dirkson, when an issue

City Officials, do you know
what a friend said to me last
week? She said, "I went to a
funeral last week at our Ceme
tery, and I want you to know It’s
the most beautiful thing I have
ever seen! Have you seen It?”
I told her I had and was so
proud of that paving. . ."Why
I never dreamed that besides
not having muddy slick roads in
it that the paving would make
it so beautiful.” We all thank
you from the depths of our hearts!
Well, the snow is about gone
now, but from my screen window
the city was beautiful! We so
wanted to get out In It. .but
a sore throat kept me In. The
youngsters had a great time but
as many said. . .Why did It have
to come around the week-end. .
why couldn’t it have come during
the week so we could have had
time out of school to play? We

The Kiwanis Club Swimming
Pool committee, through its
chairman Marion Piper and trea

the members Thursday that the
receipts taken in at the pool
and the disbursements during the
year were about even for the
summer months. Extensive
sandblasting work was done on
the two pools and, of course,
this did not figure In the opera

Ballard Reports
On Legislature
The report on the 1965 Session
of the Georgia Legislature for
the first two weeks will be very
short as to actual work carried
on at the State Capitol.
The first week the Legislature
carried on no business whatso
ever other than a couple ofhours
of organizing the house and list
ening to Governor Sander’s ad
dress.
The House of Representative
adjourned about 1:00 P.M., Wed
nesday, of last week for the week.
This week has been almost un
eventable as last week and only
one bill of general nature has
been passed and that was a sup
plement to the appropriation bill
of 1964. This inaction on the
part of the Legislature greatly
disturbs me as this wasted time
we are now losing could be put
to a great use on two vital mea
sures now confronting the Geor
gia Legislature. Those being the
Reapportionment of the House of
Representative and the 1965-1966
Appropriation Bill, which will
spend over one billion dollars
of the taxpayers money of the
State of Georgia.
This Friday the Legislature
will go into a two week recess
for the preparation of the ap
propriation bill by the com -
mittee. The danger in this in
activity on the part of the Le
gislature is multiplied tenfold
in the fact that these two vital
measures along with other bills
which will be brought up, both
good and bad, need a thorough
investigation due to their mo
mentous Importance.
If this session follows a true
form as set out by action of
the Legislature In the past two
years this will create a heyday
for bad and ill prepared Legis
lative bills which will be rushed
and pushed as a last minute
resort in the wanning days of
the 1965 session.
One of such bills, so passed
in the heated rush, was the motor
vehicle inspection law now so
greatly under fire both in Newton
County and throughout the State
of Georgia. We have received
repeated complaints about the
application of this law, the hard
ship placed upon the people by
this law, and the unethical and
unlawful practices already taken
place thereunder, with the law
only being operative some three
weeks. Reports have been re
ceived that there is even the
practice of selling inspection
stickers for automobiles by un
scrupulous parties In parts of the
State.
I wish to advise the people of
Newton County that I personally
am looking Into this law and Its
applications thoroughly and upon
the completion of my study, I
will take such courses in the
Legislature as will be to the
benefit and wishes of the people
of Newton County. I feel there
is a need for an inspection law
but seeing Inequities arising
therein, feel that some changes
are needed to make It workable.
Some changes will definitely be
