JOHN LOVELL PLACED IN
CHARGE COUNTY ROADS
ISV NEW COMMISSIONERS
WORKED UNDER
POINDEXTER
FOR MONTHS
Ali-Dav Session Held at
Court House Wednes
day Largely Attended
—Auditor’s Report Is
Read-Policy of Board
in Charity Cases Given
The County Commissioners, meeting
in th'er first regular session at the
Court House Wednesday, formally elec
ted Mr, John Lovell, as road foreman.
Mr. Lovell has been connected with
the road forces of the county for some
time, and the Commissioners believe he
will conduct matters coming under his
direction with entire satisfaction to
the people of the county.
He succeeds Mr. K. C. Poindexter,
who has served the county for the past
two years.
Mr. Lowe'l was endorsed for the
place by quite a number of citizens
who have had occasion to learn what
he }ias done in the past. He is regard
ed as a man thoroughly qualified for
the work the commissioners expect him
to do. It is understood he agreed to
work for a nominal salary, and the
Commissioners felt his selection was
for the best interest of the county.
The vote on this position is under
stood to have been Chairman Upshaw,
Mr. Dent and Mr. Satterfield. Mr.
Branson being recorded against it, as
was Mr. Gilreath, who had presented
the name of Mr. Poindexter for con
sideration, but failed to get a second to
his nomination.
Mr. Branson told his colleagues he
stood on the matter where he had al
ways stood, and that is against the hir
ing of a road superintendent or fore
man to have general charge of the
road work. He believes this matter
should be left to the direction of each
commissioner in each district.
All Members Present.
The board met promptly at nine
o'clock, with all members present, and
a large delegation of citizens, from all
parts of the county on hand to witness
the deliberations, and to present peti
tions of various kinds.
The mineral right to the property at
ihe county's pauper farm were leased
to a company represented by Mr. .1, M.
Smith and Mr. Brockman, their bid
for these rights being considered the
best for tke county.
The i-ciicy of the board as to its at
titude In charity cases, was given in a
statement made by Mr. Branson, at the
request of the Board.
The Board will not consider any
charity cases coming before It, in fu
ture, unless the party making the ap
peal for aid shall have first rceived the
s'gnatures of at least six citizens at
testing to the worthiness and necessity
of the appeal.
This step was taken, Mr. Branson
said, because it was necessary to pro
tect the county’s funds, as well as to
furnish aid in cases where such a'd
should be given.
A bill presented by a Cartersville
physician, who waited upon a char:ty
case during confinement, brought or.
some discussion, and it was finally
O K.’d, with the statement that in fu
ture closer scrutiny would be given all
such cases.
It was during this discussion that the
point was raised as what part the city
and county should pay In cases where
it was the duty of public officials to
look after.
Mr. Branson said he did not think
it quite the thing for the city to have
to bear too much of this, since citi
zens of the towns of the county paid
taxes, just the same as those living in
the country. For that reason, he said
he thought where absolutely necessary,
the funds should come from the county
treasury.
Auditor’s Report Resd.
The auditor’s report, as made by
Mr W. W. Daniel, certified public ac
countant. was read, showing the dis
.itton of all funds during the past two
years, and the balances from month
to month. This report, it is expected,
will be publ shed as an official state
ment from the board later.
A number of citizens appeared be
fore the board, asking for tax relief he.

LETTER TO PAPER
IN COMMENDATION
Cartersville, Ga„ .Jan. S. 1923,
Editor Tribune-News
Cartersville, Georgia.
Dear Sir: please allow me to con
gratulate you upon your editorial in
last week's issue of your valuable pa
per, relative to Mr, Poindexter, and
bis valuable services to the citizens of
Bartow County, ns road engineer.
I have contended lor quite a while
that Mr, Poindexter was doing won
derful road work and that he had per.
feeted an organization for road work
that should be appreciated by the
general public, and 1 am sure is ap
preciated by the majority of the tax
payers of the county.
When you consider that he started
with practically nothing, just two
years ago, and he has been handicap
ped by unusually bad weather condi
t ons, the work he has done has been
wonderful, and I coi. id you in com
ing to his defense so ooldly.
Personally, I deem it unfair to Mr.
Poindexter and more especially to the
general public, to dispense wi.h him
just when he is doing such effective
work . Very truly yours.
R E. ADAIR.
