but by a number of progressive
citizens,
Hon. John N. Holder, Chairman
of t,he State Highway Board was
elected to preside over this body.
He told his hearers that the High¬
way Board has 5,500 miles of roads
outlined, including what was under
construction and that already con¬
structed, and he expressed himself
with all confidence that every mem¬
ber on the board were deeply inter¬
ested in getting better roads
Mr, Holder exptessed himself
cleerly that he was not in favor of
pluceing a burden upon the tax¬
payers of Georgia.
Since Mr. Holder’s going into
office he lias been over 1,000 miles
of roads. He said that the State of
Georgia spent during 1921 one
seventh of the bridgs money spent
in the United States.

forcefully on the advantage of bet¬
tor roads and earnestly appealed
to the people to cooperate with the
board in every way.

of the State Highway Board,made
brief talk on the board’s program
of road construction.
Judga W. E. Candler, of Blairs

plea for the people, to support the

dead as Hector.

mgr. and sec’y. of Georgia Good
Road Association, went into
detail of raising the money to
liquidate the bonds. He pointed
out that this money could be raised
by the laws already on the statute
books. That law is the Motor
Vehicle and the Gasoline tax. It
the issue, passes the money that
arrives from the motor vehicles and
gasoline tax wifl not he touened
for five years for road construction
but will be placed in the general
fund. It is not the intention of the
state to issue all of these bonds at
once, which Mr. Farmer clearly
stated.

since its organization have been
hard at work in promoting the
various programs but in none of
them have they more diligently j
worked than in the proposed $75,- i
