STATE CAN MATCH FEDERAL
AID WITHOUT BIG BOND ISSUE
Chairman Holder Says Highwajf_i
Department Now Receives as
Much Money Annually as Is 1‘
Needed to Match County Bonds
ATLANTA, Ga.—Statements re
cently made that unless provision is
immediately made for a state-wide
highway bond issue the numerous
county bond issues will avail but little
is given a complete answer by Chair
man John N. Holder, of the statéfl‘high-;
way commission, ‘who, in alstatement
to the Atlanta Journal, dcclircd:
First. That no county which has
issued bonds for highway construc
tion or which may issue bonds for
that purpose will suffer any delay in
their approved projects. -
. Second. That counties which fi
nance road projects from current rev
enues will alsc have their funds
matched for projects approved by
the state highway commission.
Third. That all pledges made by
the state highway commissign to va
rious counties for new construction on
state highways will be carried’ out.
Fourth. That should an unusual de
mand for state and federal aid cause
these funds to run low in any one
year the commission will do as it has’
done in the past and arrange with
some of the counties to expend a
larger percentage of their own funds
the next year on the assurance that
they will be reimbursed the following
year or at such time as shall bé agreed
upon. This was done this year with
Rabun and other counties.
Misrepresentations Hinted.
Fifth. That practically half of the
counties named in recent reporfs as
having recently authorized bonds is
sued last year and early this year and
have spent or are engaged in spend
ing their bond funds on projects long
ago approved by the state highway
commission. Among those m}ounties
which should not have been ifncluded
in the list of counties recently au
thorizing bond -issues are Bacon,
Charlton, Glynn, Pierce, Wayne, Ra
bun, Ware and Newton.
Chairman Holder, while not dis
cussing the merits or demerits of a
state-wide highway bond issue, said
that under most oi the proposals for
such an issue it was contemplated that
ii a hundred million dollar isswe was
authorized the expenditufe of the pro
ceeds would be spread out over a pe
riod of ten years, which would allow:
ten million dollars a year for high
way construction, for maintenance
and for expenses of operation, if no
provision was made ‘for maintenance
of highways and counties the. several
millions of :dollars they had furnished.
over and above their quotas for state
highway construction. |
With no immediate state-wide high
way bond issue there will be available
in 1926, according to Chairman Hold
er, approximately $6,000,000 for new
construction, as follows: From feder
al aid, $2,(@,000; from the state gas
oline tax, $2,000,000; from the motor
vehicle licerse taxeif‘-' $400,000,, and
from the counties $1,500,000. In’ add:-|
tion to the $6,000,000 for new con-]
structii)gog he pointed out: that there will
be about $2,000,000 for maintenance
of highways and about $750,000 for
operating and equipment €xpenses of
the highway department. This would
give a grand total of $8,750,000. .

of the gasoline tax will go into
new construction, which will provide
about $1,300,000 more for this fund,
making a total of $7,300,000 for new
construction and a grand total for the
highway department of approximately
$§3,000,000;
A moyement is underway among
legislators and others looking to the
passage of a law by the 1927 legisla
ture which will add another cent a
ga!lon to the, gasoline tax. If this is
one and the proceeds are turned over
.to the state highway department,
Chairman Holder said, state highway
funds in 1928 will total between $ll,-
000,000 and $12,000,000 with between
$8,000,000 and $9,000,000 available for
new construction.
Under the above program, it is
pointed out, the state wglld haveavail
able each year from all sources for
the highway department about $12,-
000,000 as against $10,000,000 a year
for ten years from a state-wide high
way bond issue of $100,000,000, which
amount would necessarily be reduced
if the legislature made provision for
reimbursement of the millions hereto
fore advanced by counties over their
percentage quotas, :

;w-.-\lthough the hills that fringe’ the!

!not bear any resemblance to the tow

scene of snow white goats feeding on |
Ithe hillsides might lead a stranger toi
think that he had stumbled upon aj|
part of quaint old Switzerland itself.
Fifteen vears ago C. V. Fox, then
a resident of this city and a firm be
|licver in the nutritious qualities of
’goat’s milk, started a small herd of|
goats for his own use. His project
|crcatcd no little comment and numer
|ous townspeople became interested in|
the possibility of using goat's milk in |
’place of the more commonly used|
cow’s milk. A number of people sc'ml
for government bulletins on the suh-’
ject and discovered that Dr. Fox was
correct in* his claims that goat’s milk |
'was one of the most nutritious andl
easily digested foods for babies as
well as adults, and, in fact, made a
finer and” more creamy cheese than
could be manufactured from milk ob
tained from the cow. Others took lit
tle notice of the doctor’s claims and a
few even ridiculed his statements. ‘
Years passed and his original tiny |
herd of snow white animals became
a valuable flock of considerable size.
The use of the goat for milking
purposes now has become quite com
mon in the city.
