OPPOSES
.BOND|SSUE FOR
SCHOOLS
Favors Yearly Appropriation, Say
ing Plaza and Grady Projects
Should Come First.

Mayor woodward Friday offered
what he considered a more feasible
scheme for the betterment Of Allan
ta's school system than the issuance
OF 81 100000 in bonds, as proposed by
Commissioner Dan Green. The May
or claimed 1t would be better to pro-
vide $4,000 every year for the erec-
ton of one or more schools, and that
at the end Of five years the schools
would be adequate to take care Of the
growth OF the city.
The Mayor took the stand that the
taxpayers had become prejudiced over
the manner In which the last bond
Issue was expended, and in a, con-

voters to sanction $2,000,000 for the
plaza project and $4,000 for inn

Green pefsrs Action.
Because of his failure in securing
the Mayors approval of his PROPOSE
ton, Commissioner Green did not
bring the question TO the attention Of
the school board Thursday afternoon,
and for the time being will abandon
ii. He said he would wait until some
more opportune time. when the peo-
pie had a mere comprehensive UNDER
standing OF the deplorable conditions

III the people can be induced to
vote for the Grady Hospital bonds,
they can also be persuaded to vote
money for the betterment of our
schools" said the commissioner.
Mayor Woodward has placed him
self scuarely behind the plaza bond
issue, and has approved of the Grady
Hospital bond project His support
OF the Place proposition was brought
about throa ! the pledges Of the
property owners that they would
create a sinking fund, through In
creased assessments on their prop
erty, sufficient to retire the bonds as
well as meet the interest.
Plaza Improvement Necessary.
Mayor Woodward stated that he
would make speeches throughout the
city. If necessary, to float the plaza
bonds, as he considered that propo-
sition most urgent for the improve
ment of the city.
Though he has given his approval
to the Grady Hospital bond PROPOSE
ton, he said he would not enter the
campaign. He felt that the scheme
was worthy of the peoples support,
because, like the plaza proposition.
the Grady Hospital trustees pro-
posed to erect a building to take
care Of pay patients, and the revenue
derived from this would create a
similar fund to meet the bonds and
