payments will be discussed in

ATLANTA (GNA)— Getting

the Georgia General Assembly
had Governor Talmadge’s en¬

on its way to enactment into

the nine hills and five resolu¬
tions would be voted by t h e
House before adjournment

GOVERNOR’S PROGRAM.
It was predicted by leaders
that this legislature will ad¬
opt every item of the Gover¬
nor's program, which includes
four year terms for all state
officers not elected every two
years; a flat $3. lag diversion
of two million dollars of high¬
way funds to schools and
(Confederate pensions; creation
of the office of lieutenant gov¬
ernor, and abolition of t h e
office of state veterinarian,
with this work being turned
over to the farm department.
The Governor’s surprise bill
divesting the Hoard of Regents
of sole control of the Universi-
l system raised wide eomment
and aroused hitter opposition
from the regents. It was ad¬
mitted this hill will invalidate
the $2,800,000 HWA loan nego¬
tiated by the hoard, but the
hill was expected to pass in its
present form because of t h e
Governor’s great strength in
the House and Senate.
Sentiment for local option
was grow ing daily in thclegisla
-lure and early enactment of
a local option bill was predict¬
ed. I ndei the measure now in

A scale of taxes is set up
and cities and counties are
given the right to impose ad¬
ditional fees and taxes.
