madge to State School Superin
tendent M. D. Collins, about
money borrowed by the state
for school purposes:
Hon. M. 1). Collins, State
School Supt., State Capitol, At
lanta, Ga.
Dear Mr. Collins:—I have just
talked with the Attorney Gener
al’s office, also the State Treas
urer and the bankers from which
we borrowed, the $2,000,000.00.
It is illegal for this money to
be expended in paying anything
except teachers’ and school bus
drivers’ salaries for the year
1933.
I noticed a statement in ihe
press last night, apparently quot
ing that most of this money
would he paid to hanks for in
debtedness for the past years.
This is illegal, and I am forward
ing a copy of this letter to the
county school superintendents in
each county in the State of Geor
gia.
This money is to keep the
schools open this ye%c.
Very truly yours,
Eugene Talmadge, Governor.
