pleted the county will have building that will
be an honor to the county, an ornament to the
city and a building that will meet the require
ments of our county for generations to come.
This building can be erected and furnished for
$40 000
The county has no funds with which to erect
this building and il is therefore necessary that
the n oney be raised either by the sale of bonds
OF by levy of a special tax for that purpose.
This board prefers that il be raised by the is
sue of bonds, for the reason that in this wa the
building can be pald for in small annual pay
mems OF Sl,333.O0 princiI al and per cent IN
terest which can be provided for out of the
general funds of the county, without inereas-
ing the tax rate at all for that purpose, and
consequently will not be burden to any one.
While by direct taxation the $4,000 would have
to be raised in one year which would necessi-
tate the levy of q special tax of at least | per
cent, in addition to the regular tax, thus MAX
ing it fall very heavily on the tax payers at
this time.
This board, therefore, called an election to be
held on the 9th day OF July, to determine
whether the voters of the county are i'll favor
of the Issue of $4,000 of per cent. bonds to fail
due 30 years after date, for the above men
TONED purpose.
TO authorize the issue of these bonds, two
thirds (2-3) of the total registered vote must be
cast in favor of bonds.
If at this election the required two thirds
vote is not cast in favor of bonds, it will then be
necessary for us to ut once levy tax for the
purpose of building said courthouse,
We respectfully submit this matter to the
voters of the county and leave it to them to say
whether this building shall be built by the sale
of bonds or by a special tax.

Brunswick Ga July l, 1897.
Commissioners of Roads and Revenues, Glynn
County, Ga:
Gentlemen: In compliance with the request
made by the clerk Of your honorable body I'M
DER date of June II, 1897, beg to submit the fol-
lowing:
First. There are two ways in which funds
may be raised by county authorities for the
erection of public buildings. One is by taxa
ton, the other by creating debt authorized by
popular vote as required by the constitution of
Georgia. Under "a decision of our supreme
court i'll 92-GeOrgi -S04 without the prelimln-
airy sanction of popular vote, as required by
the constitution, the authorities of a county
cannot contract for the building of a courthouse
on the credit of the county for an amount in eX-
cess OF the funds IN hand ana the proceeds OF
the taxation applicable to the object for the
year in which the contract is mace.
Second. Whenever the necessity arises for the
repairing or erection or furni shing of court
house or otner public building, the county au-
thOrties, under section 5U2, code 1882, have pow
er to levy an extraordinary tax for such pur-
pose, and this they may do without the recon-
mendatlon of grand jury.
Under decision of our supreme court--52-
Georgia 233 (head note D--the county authori-
ties may erect and keep in repair public build
ings even without the recommendation of a
grand jury, and this right includes the power
to levy special tax to effect such purpose. The
necessity for such tax and the amount thereof
l. discretionary with the county authorities,
subject only To the supervision of the judges of
the superior courts, and this discretion will not
be intertcred with except where ii Is abused,
either 10y there being no necessity for the levy
or the levy being excessive.
Third Hence my Opinionls that should there
be a failure to provide funds for the erection of
courthouse by popular vote, the only legal
method left by which funds can be raised is by
special tax, and inasmuch as the constitution
and laws prohibit the county authorities from
creating any debt except by popular vote, the
funds must De all raised i'll one year. Thus as
we have seen, under the code and the decisions
of the supreme court, the county authorities
have power and authority to do. The rate of
tax to be levied is within the discretion of the
authorities in connection with the cost of the
proposed work, and this discretion is subject
only to review by the superior courts, and Wall
not he interGcred with except ii be abused. /
have the honor to be your obedient servant,
JAMES NJ. CAI.NAN, JR., City Attorney.

That Is the Question Now Before
Every Voter of Glynn
County.
IF BONDS FAIL, THEN A TAX.
County Attorney Says Commissioners Can
Levy the Direct Tax-NOt Hard
to Choose Between.

The correspondence published below
is most important in its significance
to every voter and taxpayer in Glynn
county. 1t ought to be read carefully
by every citizen.
The question of securing a new
courthouse has but two. solutions: A
bond issue with its light and dissent
mated burden, or a direct tax with its
heavy and immediate burden. The
refusal of the people to accept the
first on July means that they will
have to accept the second. The first
will not be felt, will require no extra
tax assessment; the second Will be
severely felt, requiring considerable
addition to each tax assessment, 1t
ought not to be hard to decide between
the two propositions.

When the Sea Was Fresh watev.

The ocean was once merely braokish. and not salt, as 1t Is now. This was when the earth was in its first youth and before there. was any land showing at all or any animal life in the water. At this time the water was gradually cooling from its original state of steam, and the salts were slowly undergoing the change from gases into solids. Then came the appearance of land. and later on rivers, which gradually washed down more and more salts, while at the bot tom of the ocean itself chemical action was constantly adding more brine to the waters. At present it Is estimated there are in the world 8 oceans 2, GOO, 900 cubic miles of salt, and the most aston ishing thing about 1t is that if all the salt could be taken out in a moment the level of the water would not drop one single inch.-New York World. ::

 To this his officer answered, "If you don't get up Sehind me, I'll get off and I'll give you such a licking as you've never had in your life" The man was more afraid of fists than assegais, and the good horse pulled them both out of the scrape.
