Fulton Legislator PoIieves There

Satisfied that acknowledgement, in

been prevalent in the various dis

resentatlve Ralph o. Cochran OF Full

probe into the same.
Mr., Cochran's idea is that the

20 justify the great outlay Of money
required to keep them up.
The gentleman from Fulton will NOT
charge any person with deliberate
wrongdoing but he does believe that
the schools have not been conducted
In a husiuesslike manner, and that
| they might. and should, be placed on
a basis working TO Georgia's greater
advantage.
He calls attention to the deficits
shown IN the Treasures reports, and
draws the seemingly warranted infer
ence that the colleges are not return
ing TO the State anything like the
amount OF money they should, con-
sidering the money the State spends
upon them
The eleven district~schools are sup
posed to be self-supporting, in a way,
but the returns, as indicated by the
Treasures report, do not show them
as approximating anything like that
ideal status.
This proposed investigation, com
ing on the heels Of the mlK-up In the
Experiment Station. is sure to attract
widespread attention throughout
Georgia, as every congressional dis
trict has one Of these agricultural
