Two Woods Fires
mum
Two small woods fires des¬
troyed five acres of Dade Coun¬
ty’s valuable timber last week,
according to Ranger Jerry Pace.
Pace said the worst of the two
fires claimed four acres on the
property of Bob Smith on Sand
Mountain and the smaller one
acre blaze was on the property
of Charles Hixon.
The larger fire apparently
started from a stalk and grass
filled ditch Pace said.
Pace warned that even though
the weather has been damp
lately, this is still a dangerous
time of the year for brush and
woods fires.

Dade’s Representative, Mad-

the light in a heated debate
early this week after a labor
leader in Atlanta called for his

not think labor unions are the
proper ones to pray for the le-

NUMBER 4
bers of the Hospital Board pres-
ent, Commissioner Fay B. Mur¬
phy of Walker County, Ordi¬
nary A. W. Peck of Dade County,
Commissioner Tom Christian of
Catoosa County, other public of¬
ficials, lawyers, many doctors
from Northwest Georgia and
other interested citizens.
This was the second meeting
to be held, the first was held
last Friday night and had
broken up in a legal dead lock,
on the wording of the contract.
This contract had been drawn
by Attorney Kelly in Atlanta
and Hospital Attorney George
Paul Shaw, submitted to RFC
and approved by them. Attorney
Shaw read the contract to the
group, stopping to explain each
paragraph and ask for discus¬
sion. This contract had been
submitted to the governing au¬
thorities of the three counties
only the week before and Com¬
missioner Murphy and Walker
County Attorney S. W. Farris
felt the contract was difficult to
understand and that they
needed more time for study. Or¬
dinary Peck said he did not feel
he should sign until further
conference with Dade County
attorney M. J. Hale. Catoosa
Commissioner Tom Christian
said he was ready to sign.
This contract calls for the
Authority to agree to have and
operate efficiently a first class
hospital to be used for the sick
from northwest Georgia and for
the three counties to agree to
send their indigent sick to this
hospital only and to pay for
them out of a tax levy which ac¬
cording to law must never ex¬
ceed 5 mills. This does not mean
that this high a levy would ever
be needed as the levy would de¬
pend on the number of patients
sent to the hospital and would
be changed from year to year
depending upon conditions.
The Authority recently was
granted $550,000 by the United
States Public Health Service and
$250,000 from the State of Geor¬
gia. The Authority also already
owns the land, several buildings
and hospital equipment
amounting to about $500,000.
The RFC has approved the pur¬
chase of $200 000 in Revenue
Certificates to be issued when
the counties and the Authority
sign the contract which the RFC
had approved before it was pre¬
sented.
Officials of the U. S. Public
Health Service have set July 1,
1951 as the deadline for the
construction to start and now
that the last link has been
signed after more than three
years of efforts the hospital will
become a reality soon.
