UNDER A NEW REGIME.
County Affairs Passes from Or
dinary to Commissioners.
As intimated by the Tribune
last, week the Act creating a Board
of county commissioners for At
kinson county had been passed by
the legislature and approved by
the governor, and that Hons. .1. M.
Roberts, Jeff Kirkland and David
Weathers would be commissioned
and take over the couiity affairs on
Monday, the 11th.
What the Tribune anticipated
lias become a fact. The three
gentlemen named met in the office
of the Ordinary Monday morning,
was sworn in and proceeded to or
ganise for business under the Act.
Hon. Jeff Kirkland was chosen
Chairman; W. M. Sumner, clerk;
Leon A. Hargreaves, county attor
ney. Under the peculiar circum
stances through which Atkinson
county must pass during the com
ing year this alignment of officials
and aids is a good one.
The biggest question with which
the commissioners will have to
cope now is that of providing the
county with good roads. They are
to take the lead in providing the
means for the work, but they must
have the hearty co-operation of
every citizen of Atkinson county
in the work. There seems to be
a general sentiment throughout
the county that an issue of bonds
is the quickest and less burden
some means of providing funds for
beginning the work of building
permanent roads. It is proper to
state just here that it is the only
way by which the county can se
cure outside help of any appreci
able amount. Congress has al
ready passed a law by which the
Federal government will duplicate
the county’s road bond issue, some
of which will be available within
the next twelvemonths. The State
legislature has passed a law au
thorizing a bond issue of $50,000,-
000 to be equitably divided among
the counties to be used for road
building under the supervision of
State Highway Commission. This
means that all roads will be built
under the advice and direction of
a competent engineer, and that no
roads will be built in the slip-shod
way as heretofore.
If Atkinson county is to come to
the front rank and keep pace with
the general development of the
State and especially South Geor
gia she must have good permanent
roads, Let every citizen make up
Union Hill Locals.
