Heavy City Docket Faced

When City Judge E. W. Stro

A total of 59 cases were called
for trial with a majority of those

involving 40 persons so charged
with various laws.

Mr. Luke, a retired postal

fatal injuries. He was a mem
ber of Druid Hills Methodist Ch

Funeral services for the vic
tim were held Monday morning

More Spent To Improve Homes
Homeowners in Newton County
spend a tidy sum each year on the
maintenance and improvement of
their homes.
In the past year alone, their
expenditures for alterations,
additions, repairs and upkeep
came to approximately $1,196,-
000, it is estimated.
Hie amount is based upon a
sampling survey of dwellings in
all sections of the United States.
The finding is that the aver
age expenditure for residential
upkeep and improvement in New
ton County’s general area came to
$lB7 per housing unit. Not in
cluded in this figure were the
normal, everyday household and
housekeeping expenses.
That was the average outlay.
In individual cases, it varied
widely from that amount, both
up and down. The explanation is
that most homeowners will un
dertake major improvements one
year and then do nothing of an
expensive nature for several
years thereafter.
Details on how much is spent
for such purposes and how much
it adds to the value of a home
come from the Department of
Commerce and the National As
sociation of Real Estate Board.
They show that the outlay in
this direction, for the nation as
a whole, amounted to $11.7 bil
lion in the past year.
How did Newton County home
owners spend their $1,196,000
share of it?
A breakdown, based upon the
overall figures, indicates that
about 62 percent of it went for
additions, alterations and re
placements.
The other 38 percent was for
maintenance and repairs. Almost
half of this total was for painting
and decorating. The rest was
spent for plumbing, roofing, hea
ting, air conditioning and miscel-

or bow and arrow in the city
limits’’.
Many younsters, and even pa
rents, are unaware that discharg
ing any firearm within the city
limits is against the law. But,
against the law it is, in no un
certain terms. Such ordinances
were not set up to take the joy
out of life of would-be Nimrods;
but, for the protection of life
and limb, as well as property.
Hundreds of injuries, Including
blindness, and sometimes fatali
ties, result annually from fire
arms discharged in densely popu
lated areas.
So, before our youngsters set
out on a safari in some neigh
bor’s yard, or wooded area to
bring down squirrels or birds,
within city limits, we might help
them understand that breaking
laws can bring penalties, for they
are made for everyone’s protec
tion. No doubt, the whole family
will enjoy the outing in the coun
try that this will bring on. How
ever, in the wide-open spaces
they will be protecting the law,
themselves and their fellow man.
