interstate coal pipelines can be
built we must secure Congres
sional legislation granting coal
pipelines the right of eminent
domain to obtain rights of way.
Moving coal as a liquid by
pipeline brings significant sav
ings in transportation costs.
Futhermore, new combustior 1
techniques now allow pipeline
coal to be burned as a liquid,
this eliminating the necessity
for expensive coal handling
facilities. These economies can
be passed along to the public
in the form of lower costs
for electricity, he said. Coal
is now used to generate more
than half of the nation’s elec
tricity.
"Liquid coal can be pumped
through pipelines 24 hours a
day to any area of the United
States. The vast coal reserves
of the country assure the con
sumer ready availability of li
quid coal now and in the future,
Mr. Kelley said.
Pipelines will be built by pri
vate enterprise, with no federal
funds Involved, he said.
Other Important developments
which promis' l to reduce coal’s
transportation costs are inte
gral trains and high voltage
transmission of electricity.
"America has grown Into a
great industrial nation by pro
ducing and consuming increas
ing" amounts of energy. Her
future growth, and Indeed her
security, demand still larger
supplies of energy year by
year... energy made available
by the most economical means
that intensive free enterprise
competition can produce,” he
said.
Rotarian Tracey Burnham, of
the American Can Co. addres
sed his fellow Rotarians Jan.

Mr. Burnham’s address was
largely a classification talk, his
classification in the club being

Experienced Leadership Is
Our Hope For the Future
A public official should be judged by his accomplish
ments. I am more than willing for the people of Clayton
County to use this yard stick in determining whether or
not I am worthy of your continued confidence and re
election to the position of leadership in your county affairs
I now hold as Chairman of your Board of Commissioners.
When I offered for this
position, and was honored
by election in 1960, my
promise was that I would
do the very best I could
to handle county affairs,
with the cooperation of
the other members of the
Board, in such a manner
as to take advantage of
the wonderful opportuni
ties we have of becoming
one of the leading coun
ties of Georgia. Clayton
County has made won
derful progress and the
task has been made easier
by the foundation laid by
former county leaders
and by the splendid co
operation and foresight of
a wonderful and under
standing citizenry.
When a county becomes
the fastest growing coun
ty in Georgia, the prob
lems grow in like propor
tion and all of them will
never be solved. It takes
constant study and appli
cation, and experience in
this position is invaluable
to the people of our
cnuntv.
cuuniy.
I yield to no one in my conviction that education is
essential to a good life. My wife and I economized and
sacrificed to help our four children secure college educa
tions. I taught in a country school, served as a member of
the Board of Trustees in both country and Jonesboro High
Schools, was active in PTA, and as a member of your
Board of Commissioners have rendered every possible
service to your County School Department. We have, at
different times, done considerable grading at North Clay
ton High School, especially on the football field. We have
paved outdoor basketball courts at several different
schools, paved a parking area at Lake City School and also
constructed a sidewalk to get the children out of the street.
We did a big grading job at Morrow Elementary School
that required several weeks with heavy machinery. On two
different occasions we did big grading jobs at the new
Forest Park High School. For the safety and convenience
of the students at this school we widened and paved Phil
lips Drive, constructed a sidewalk from Reynolds Road to
Lake City School and graded and paved an access road
from Forest Park High School to Highway 54. We have
just recently paved Ward Place at Hendrix School in For
est Park and are preparing to recondition and repave
Catherine Street, which is an access street to Hendrix
School. One of the greatest assists to our school system is

CLAYTON COUNTY
REPRESENTATIVE
In the Georgia General Assembly
(Democratic Primary April 4th)
the tax re-evaluation program that will go into effect this
year. This work was begun in 1962 and was done under a
contract entered into by your Commissioners at a cost of
§81,500.00. Clayton County is one of the approximately 40
Georgia counties that have completed, or are presently
completing, re-evaluation programs.
submit a bond issue for this purpose. Fire protection is
very important and you can be assured that as it becomes
possible for the various sections of our county to have it,
I shall cooperate in every way possible to assist in provid
ing ample fire protection. As a partial solution the county
has entered into agreements with several municipalities
to offer fire protection to unprotected areas.
I wanted especially to discuss the above mentioned
problems with you at this time. At a later date I shall
discuss with you many of our other problems and also
some of the many accomplishments of the present ad
ministration that are making our county one of the finest
and best known counties in Georgia.
Accomplishments are platforms put into effect.
Platforms, as such, are good-sounding reading and worth
less unless put into effect.
Can you say that I have not carried out my promise
to do something constructive for you? Have my accomp
lishments made of Clayton County a better place in which
you and your children can make your home?
I hope that you will endorse my candidacy at the
election on April 4th.
Your Commissioners
have implemented our
law regarding fire protec
tion by setting up two fire
districts and are present
ly investigating the feasi
bility of setting up other
districts. A thorough
study of this legislation,
with its limitation of an
annual levy of five mills,
shows the impossibility of
the county entering into
the fire-fighting business
by construction of fire
stations. The funds de
rived from a five mill
levy would be totally in
sufficient to construct and
operate a county main
tained fire department.
The only possible solution
would be to raise suffi
cient funds by voting gen
eral obligation bonds.
Since the people who are
presently taxed for the
operation of fire depart
ments in municipalities
would receive no benefits
from a county - wide,
county-maintained fire
department, I would not
vote as a Commissioner to
