stated, “I feel the approval of
Amendment 14 In the General
Election November Bth Is es
sential, and approval will
depend on an Intensive state
wide effort. “It Is my opinion,”
he continued, “that the Com
mittee of 100, enlarged to in
clude members from some 13
cities across the state, is the
best means of informing Geor
gia voters of what this Amend
ment will do.” Vandiver ex
plained that the Amendment to
the Georgia Constitution, 1-
dentlfled as Proposal 14 on the
Nov. 8 ballot, Is permissive.

stitution which would allow the state to assist in solving some
of the passenger transportation problems in the State; and
WHEREAS: The amendment is listed as No. 14 on the ballot,
its subject being Public Transportation of Passengers For
Hire (Senate Resolution No. 11^ and
WHEREAS: After ratification by the voters, the amend
ment would allow, but not require, the General Assembly
to provide to a public corporation or authority for public
transportation of passengers for Mre, state funds In an
amount not to exceed “ten percent of the total cost, either
directly or indirectly”; and
WHEREAS: The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority
was established by the 1965 General Assembly of Georgia
for the purpose of developing a Rapid Transit System in the

. “enabling” legislation, which
’ would allow’ the state to spend
, public funds In the area of
transportation. Vandiver em
phasized that “passage of the
' Amendment does not commit the
r State to spend any funds what
soever; what .the Amendment
r will do is simply to permit the
i expenditure of such funds, if
the General Assembly author
[ izes and appropriates such
, funds.”
। He stated that “all Georgia
, cities face acute transportation
, problems which are expected
I to get worse as the population
> and car production Increase;
. this Amendment would simply
. allow the State to help any city
. or county wMch has transporta
> tion problems.” “In no case,”
. he noted, “could the State grant
> more than 10 percent to the total
. cost, since the limitation is set
by the Amendment Itself.”
