Special Notice

At the coming State Primary to
be held in August, l will be a
candidate to represent the people
of Ben Hill County in the next
Georgia Legislature. The reason
for giving this advance notice, is
because the County primary has
been called on separate date from
that of the State primary. The
people of the County, at the con-
ing County primary, will vote for
three County Commissioners of
Roads and Revenues and one
Road and Bridge Commissioner.
This last office was created last
year by our Legislators. This
office carries with it power over
the three Commissioners of Roads
and Revenues, ION whom the bur-
den of financing the County de-
ponds. This special Office carries
with it One Thousand dollars a
Yrar salary. The three Commits
sioners of Roads and revenues get
on an average of Fifty Four dol
lars each per year for their service
and in my judgment this division
of the management of the County's
business carries with it a PROPOSE
tion that hardly any good business
man or man of ordinary intelli-
gence would seek the Office of
Commissioner of Roads and Reve-
nues, when there stands over him
il Road AID Bridge Commissioner
with power and authority and with
no responsibility from a financial
stan dpoint.
The office of Commissioners of
Roads and Revenues should be
held by good business men who
would command the confidence of
the public and especially the 6nan-
cial world; for it depends upon
their business ability as to the
borrowing funds to meet the Coun-
tvs demands, their business ability
is also necessary in the checking
and paying out the funds of tn
County. This office as it now stands
carries with it a "hgure-head" pro-
position. Thew do all the paving
but have nothing to do with the
buying. Can a business man afford
to offer for this office under the
present law, Mr.. Business man,
can you afford to finance your
business and let some one else
spend the money! The taxes of
the County depends upon the Com
missioners management.
Lam therefore in favor of max
ing the office of Commissioner of
Roads and Revenues carry with
it the management of all the
County's business, and make it
an appreciated office instead of a
figure head or a deprecated
one; and as citizen and tax payer,
| hope three good business men
will be elected to this office, and
if am elected to the Legislature
| will place all of the County's
business back into their hands
for management, and will later
on give in my platform my poll
cies regarding other legislation
for the interest of the County.
Yours truly,
24.2t. Wesley r. Walker.
