load to a safer conduct of traffic in
the business section.
The Wayne street boulevard seems
I to be a speedway for many autoists.
This excess speed can be corrected
i easily and *ve hope the police will
take steps immediately. This is one
of the most frequently used streets I
j by children and young people going |
to and from school. For autoists to j
I travel at excessive speed on this |
street is unnecessary. The time to.
prevent accidents is before they
happen. The police can probably
avoid an accident by puting a stop
to the excessive speed on Wayne
street.
The people of the city are respon
sive to the regulations of the police ]
yo the safety of traffic rests direct- ‘
ly on their shoulders. Keep the
good record clean.

THE G. M. C. BOND ISSUE ,

available from taxation. But with
all of this the cost of public educa

I paratively small and the small bond

not be held up any longer than
can be helped.
If this money is available at an
early date wc believe Federal funds
can be secured to match whatever
the city provides and all the need
ed improvements can be supplied.
We hope the city authorites will

A 529.000.000 BRAINSTORM
In view of the threatened paraly
sis of every function of the state
government, when the highway funds
and other state collections that have
been impounded have been exhaust
ed. it is no wonder that the people
of Georgia are arcuscd at the crisis
that will then be faced.
Nor it is surprising that the uni
versal sentiment is that the Gover
nor’s unprecedented and unconsti
tutional attempt to operate the state
government without an apporopria-
tion act is the result of a $20,000.-
000 brainstorm.
The aberation from which the
Governor is suffering carries with
it the threat of disruption to every
function of the state government,
to the educational and charitable
institutions supported by the state,
to the highway and other major un
dertakings of the state, and brings
the danger of uncmpl wment to
thousands of men who would be put
to work under contracts now’ ready
to let.
By his willful determination to
stick to his illegal course, the Gov
ernor has thrown the entire machin
ery o’ , of gear to an extent not
equaled since the days of the car
petbaggers.
The Governor lias called atten
tion to the fact that the legal de
partment is made the final authority
on all matters affecting the various
branches of the executive depart
ed the government.
He makes matters worse by bold
ly and specifically taking the posi
tion t^at the general assembly is
incompetent and that it cannot be
trusted with the important task of
solving the oxisiting crisis.
As the result of the confusion and
chaos into .■••hich the Governor has
thrown the af’airs of the state gov
ernment. federal oficials have re
fused to send alocated funds to
Georgia when they do not know’ w’ho
is the legal treasurer of the state.
The Governor says he will pay
the reimbursement funds to the
counties when due on March 25—
that he has the funds in hands to
do so.
Let us hope that this is t.-ue and
that there will be no default on this
obligation of the state.
If this $2,600,000 is paid the Gov
ernor will have about as much more
on which to continue his May pole
dance, but just what is to become of
the develcpment of the state high
way system in the meantime, and
just how many thousands of men
will be thrown out of work through
the suspension of the road building
program, remains to be seen.
The federal government has from
fifteen to seventeen million dollars
of funds allocated to Georgia hang
ing up awaiting to ascertain who
ir. the legal treasurer of the state.
In this period of uncertainty, the
Governor continues to swing his
bloody ax. The official head rf

system, and to whose activities more
