Among the many charter changes
in Georgia cities already proposed in
the Legislature. the one Of waycross
is the most novel and interesting.
There It is proposed to merge the
county and city governments into one
body.
The plan is to establish city and
county tax zones, the city's taxes
going into city improvements. A
county council. acting with a similar
BODY from the CIV both under the
direction of an elective head, is pro
posed, with the employment OF a gem
eral superintendent who shall have
direct charge OF the work and be re-
sponsible for the execution OF all

This change, It is argued, will cut
down the Administrative expenses and
promote harmony throughout, besides
giving better results than are OBJ

Cotton Bale Report
Puzzler to Farmers

Speaker OF the House William II.
Burwell and President Of the Senate
]. Randolph Anderson conferred
Thursday on plan by which the re-
port of the joint commission appoint
ed by the House and Senate last year
on the Standardization Of the cotton
bale may be conveyed to the Senate.
The difficulty has arisen over the fact
that but one member Of the commits
sion, Representative Kimbrough, was
returned to the Legislature. This
leaves the Senate with no one who
may submit the report to the upper
chamber.
The report. which goes much into
detail, was expected to be submitted
to the House Thursday morning, but
owing to the short session and rush II
other business 1t was not filed.
