LoH^ins to Kill Salary
“'(Continued From Page 1)
our present system has pre
vailed for many, many years and
Mr Floyd has been in the legis
lature for the past ten years, but
has never proposed such legisla
tion before I believe that any
matter which proposes a com
plete change in a system of gov
ernment should be carefully
studied and analyzed before
making a change just for the
sake of ‘change' alone.
"It has been suggested by The
Summerville News in its many
articles and by Representative
Floyd that these bills, if enacted,
would save Chattooga County
money, out as tar as I know there
has been no comprehensive study
years. And the proposed new
facilities at Best are expected to
Induce even more housing con
struction in the town.
Other areas of the county
also are experiencing continuing
residential construction, and a
pick-up is expected when better
weather arrives.
But the main emphasis in
building in Chattooga County
tor the next year is expected to
be in the commercial, industrial
and service fields.

made of the counties which have
changed from a fee basis to a
salary system, and it is my de
cided opinion that a complete
study of the counties which
have made this transition should
be carefully scrutinized before
the passage of any such legisla
tion.
"I have done some research in
other counties where all public
officials are on the salary sys
tem and I found, and according
to the information which I have
in my files, in 159 counties in
Georgia there are 36 Ordinarys
on a salary, there are 37 Sheriffs
on a salary, there are 39 Clerks
of Superior Court on a salary,
and there are 73 Tax Commis
sioners on a salary. The re
mainder of the counties in the
State of Georgia have their pub
lic officials on a fee basis or a

combination of salary and fee
basis. I have found that in some
instances the salary system has
bankrupted or almost bank
rupted the county, and in some
counties the salary system has
been responsible for costing the
taxpayers several thousands of
dollars per year.’’
Sen. Loggins told The News
that his information on salary
systems bankrupting counties
was "hearsay” but said he hoped
to obtain definite information
later.
He said he and Rep. Floyd had
"briefly discussed” a salary
schedule, for the sheriff alone,
a.i early as 1960.
