Why Doesn't Someone Go to Jail!
The Vandiver administration is to be commended for un
covering evidence of widespread graft and corruption during
the preceding state administration, but we keep wondering
why they don’t put someone in the jailhouse.
If these charges they are presenting in weekly “chapters”
are true, why don’t they bring somebody into court and put
them where they belong?
Week by week we are given very strong evidence of
wrongdoing on every hand during the administration, but we
do not see the sinners being punished. We are convinced by
the evidence offered in the newspapers but when will the
evidence be presented in court?
If we can believe the charges as presented, surely we will
never again return to office an administration which condon
ed stealing and conniving, “commissions” to people who had
no connection with the vendors except the ability to get the
state’s business, and other shady practices.
May the Vandiver administration continue its investiga
tion, getting nearer to the “top officials” who promoted this
thievery, but may we also expect some prosecutions to deter
mine whether Vandiver actually means business.
Why No Public Housing in Perry!
This newspaper has received several inquiries in recent
weeks why Perry has not applied for any public housing assis
tance from the federal and state governments.
The money is available to cities which can show the need,
and we have no doubt that Perry can show it needs it.
The question put to us is: “If Roberta, Fort Valley, Una
dilla and other towns all around us can get this money for
low-cost housing, why hasn’t Perry even tried to get our
share?”
We cannot answer that question in but one way, and that
is that the people who control politics in Perry do not
want low-cost housing.
The reason you hear is that there is a danger of low-cost
housing becoming a segregation-integration problem.
We do not believe this is a valid objection but it is the
only one you can hear.
Are the people in Fort Valley, Roberta, Unadilla and
the other towns less intelligent, or less interested in segrega
tion, than are we in Perry. We doubt it. They are obtaining
better housing and removing sub-standard dwellings in both
white and Negro sections, and the money they are receiving
is earmarked for white housing and for Negro housing.
It is our estimate that Perry would be a city of 7,000
instead of 6,000 if we had taken advantage of low-cost housing
programs several years ago. We have many people who would
move here if they could find adequate housing at a price they
can afford to pay. We are acquainted with some who have low
incomes and high rent payments, who say they can barely
make it.
We would like for Mayor and Council to advise the peo
ple of Perry why this city has not applied for low-cost housing.
We will present it to the people exactly as the city officials
give it to us.
