VOTE FOR
J. M. Carroll
CANDIDATE FOR
ORDINARY
TO THE CITIZENS OF DADE COUNTY:
On March 4, this year, the people of Dade County will decide whether or
not they are satisfied with my management of your county government under my
administration as your Ordinary. In order to reach this decision every voter of
the county is entitled to the full facts as. to the county’s affairs.
On January 1, 1937, when I took office as your Ordinary, your county had
on hand a cash balance of $44,634.75. Today, your county has on hand as a cash
balance the sum of $48,025.84, and the sum of $19,000.00 invested in War Bonds.
Your county’s cash assets today are $67,025.84, as against $44,634,75 when I took
office, an increase in cash assets during my term of office of fifty per cent. Also,
during my tenure of office your county purchased out of its operating funds the
road rights-of-way for U. S. 11, the Scenic Highway and the road from LaFayette
to Trenton, all of which were built by the state during my tenure of office, the
rights-of-way costing your county the sum of $28,903.81. If this sum had not
been expended for these rights-of way it also would be invested in War Bonds as
cash assets which would make the cash assets on hand equal to the sum of $95,-
929.65, or an increase in cash assets during my tenure of office approximately
EIGHTY PER CENT.
When I assumed office January l, 1937, the bonded indebtedness of the
county was $112,000.00. Today the bonded indebtedness is $76,000.00, or a de-
crease in bonded indebtedness of thirty-two percent. When I assumed the duties
of this office aside from this bonded indebtedness the county was free of debt
and had no other outstanding obligations. Today your county is free of debt ex-
cept the existing bonded indebtedness referred to and has no other outstanding
obligations.
When I assumed the duties of this office the rate of taxation on bonded
indebtedness was forty cents per $100 assessed valuation property in the county.
ra ^ e °t taxation on bonded indebtedness is twenty-seven cents per
$100 o/ assessed valuation property in the county. As soon as I assumed the duties
of this office the Constitution of Georgia was amended so as to provide for the
exemption of the homes of the people of Georgia valued at $2,000.00 or less from
taxation for all purposes except bonded indebtedness. This homestead exemption
