Legislation PenaIsing compan-
les for Delaying Messages.

Repealed some ten or fifteen years

lobby. it ia alleged. the bill peanHz

Georgia legislature thls summer.
Representative Wallace D. Sheffield
of De aa1r cozlty announces his
purpose to introduce such a
measure on the day the general as
sembly convenes and he adds that be
will push 1t vigorously.
The Deca.ur county represen.

was an enthusiastic supporter OF
Hon Hoke Smith, and as such stump
ed south Georgia with much sue
cess. He vas delegate to the

Aside from reform legislation en-
dorsed by the Macon convention the
Legislature will be called upon TO

said Mr.. Sheffield.
Il am going 70 offer a bill the hrst

was repealed ten or fifteen years ago

Mfr. Sheffield saSs the telegraph

STATEMENT OE
COMMISSIONERS
County Soions Explain ths Election
to Be Held Tomorrow A..
soanes of Bonds. n

The people OF Glynn county viii
hold an election on Thursday next
to determine whether OF not the
county will issue bonds in the sum
# $4,000 TO be used for the purpose
OF building q new county jail and
for paying for and completing the
handsome new court house now un-
der construction In Magnolia park.
There Is q strong demand for the
carrying of the election for bonds
for It will obviate the necessity for
a tax levy and double taxation next
year
In this connection the following
statement from the Glynn county
commissioners, viii be OF interest:
TO the Voters OF Glynn County:
You have no doubt been advised
from the newspaper publications
that an election win be held on
Thursday April 18th. to determine
whether or not bonds in the sum of
$4,000 shall be voted OF this
amount. If bonds are authorized,
$4,000 is 10 be used In completing
and furnishing the court house. ea
$25.Q00 In the construction of d
Jail. The total cost of the CON
struction Of the court house. includ
ing furniture architects fees. i'm
provement Of grounds, etc, will be
about s125.O00 The commissioners
are gratifed to say that Of this
amount the sum Of S75. 900 has been
accumulated but it is necessary to
borrow $4,000 to complete the build
ing. as above stated. Various grand
Juries recommended building the
court house ard have strongly rec
commended the building of new
jail or the repairing of the old enc
The commissioners think it would be
better business policy to build a
new jail rather than repair tne old
one.
The bond issue proposed ls to bo
re-payable at the rate Of $4,000 a
year. beginning January /. 1917. b.
this arrangement the total amount
can be repaid without increasing tne
present rate Of taxation. Owing tn
legal restrictions the county could
not borrow the money without a vote
OF toe people
The commissioners feel that It
would be very much better for the
taxpayers and public interests gen
orally to authorize the proposeu
bond Issue for the purpose Of com
pleting and furnishing the court
house and building a new jail rath-
Ell tnan to levy special and extra
taxes therefor, but the desire to sun
NIT the matter to the voters and have
them determine the question for
themselves.
To carry the bond election two
thirds of all those entitled to vote
on the 18Th must actually cast their
bellots In favor OF the bonds, and
therefore. those not voting will
count against the bonds
