Atlanta, (GPS) Gist of the
News: With nearly three months
remaining in the present fiscal
year, state income is running
! 671,033 ahead of a year ago,
according to State Revenue
Commissioner Charles Redwine.
Tax collections showed an in¬
crease of $2,428,468, but the in¬
crease in tax refunds cut the
net gain to $671,033. Total col¬
lections for the first nine months
573,905,904. A year ago: $72,-
477,436.
Population of Metropolitan
Atlanta is now estimated at
spo.000 persons by the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce’s Indus¬
trial Bureau. The estimate,
which officials say is “on the
conservative side,” is an increase
of 25,000 in the last 12 months.
A total of 771 persons lost their
j,ives in Georgia traffic accidents
last year, 208 of them pedestri¬
ans, it was disclosed in the State
Department of Public Safety’s
arrmlal report. This was 16 few¬
er traffic fatalities -in the state
than in 1947, a two per cent de¬
cline.
The State Highway Depart¬
ment has called on the State
Highway Patrol to “crack down”
on overweight trucks which use
Georgia highways. They are,
officials say, causing “extensive
damage to the state’s highways.
Georgia will get 4 to 5 per cent

ment under his lease, Barney

receipts under his lease and he
estimates the revenue for the
state will far exceed the IV 2 per
cent previously estimated by
ptate officials.
The State Board of Education
has revoked a license it granted

Office Force At AAA
Office Increased
The office force of the AAA
office has been increased. Be¬
sides Mrs. Louise Wright, the
director of the P. M. A. program
in Dade, Miss Clara Mae Gass
is now there regularly and the
third desk is for Mr. D. P. Hood.
It seems that records from
1941 to 1949 of the cotton, wheat
and war crops of all the owners
of farms in Dade County have
to be collected and tabulated.
As there are about 300 farmers
who have not used Triple A ser¬
vice during these years and some
who have not used it every year,
this will be a big undertaking.
All farmers will be sent notices
asking them to come to the A AS
office, as the government has
s&nt a large form which will
have to be filled out.
When all this is gathered and
the statistics tabulated, if it
teems necessary, everyone will
be given an opportunity to vote
on whether or not they want
cotton and wheat quota’s similar
to what was in effect during
years prior to 1944.

Resolution Presented
To Divide 1222 G. M.
Elsewhere in The Times is the
formal notice that three com¬
missioners and the County Sur¬
veyor have 'made a report to
ihe Ordinary for the creating
of a new District within the
boundries of the old District No,
1222 G. M. This report has been
accepted and entered an the
minutes of Dade County. The
number of the new District shall
be 1223.
This is to oe a division of the
Sand Mountain district 1222, no
other district being touched,
the north end forming the
new 1223. Messers Luke Ivey,
M. T. Patton, Cullman Graham
with County Surveyor W. P. Cole
have spent much time in their
decisions of the best place to lay
out the boundries of this new
district. It has been laid out ac¬
cording to terrain rather than
in straight ]ines so that there
be no criss-crossing in order
to make it easier for the citizens
vote. The legend on the blue
of the new district reads :-
“This plan represents the
end of 1222 G. M. and be¬
at the south east corner
of Lot No, 90, following the
line of lots 90, 91, 92, and
to the south west corner of
93, the north with west line
lot 93 and 86 to south and
brow of Newman Gulch
with this brow to south and
brow of Castle Rock Gulch
with the brow to Ga. Aja.,
•state line, and with said state
line to Tenn., state line, then
oast with Ga—Tenn., state line
to east line north of present
1222 G. M., then south to south
east corner of lot 90.”
“This was agreed to and point-
0 d out to me by Mr. Cull Gra-
ham, Mr. Luke Ivey and Mr.
Mathy Patton as commissioners
appointed by Mr. Arthur Peck,
ordinary of Dade County, Ga.,
to create a new G. M. District in
the north end of the 1222 G. M.
and the new G. M. District to
be known as 1223 G. M. and
this represents the new district
and said new district bounded
as described above.” *
