In reply to "Cobb County Farmer"
would say | thought / would take
q chance on the one-man commission
er. but when it comes to the bond
commission that's the part can't
jndorse. Eleven commissioners! One
from each bank, now we don't ques-
ton the business ability of these
bankers, but we do question the advis-
jbility of putting eleven bankers on
this commission. Why not have a
diversified interest on it? Why all
bankers. Five on the commission is
enough. Three would be better. The
commission would have charge of
laving out the roads and spending
the money if bonds were voted. The
farmer is the man that uses the
roads Without him we would not
need them. Why not give him a
place on this commission? Shouldn't
he have some voice in laying out
these roads and spending bond mon
ev. Yes and l think he will before
bonds are voted. Nine of these banks
are on highways, wouldn't it be nat
ural that they keep these spic and
span. This cumbersome commission
will itself defeat bonds the very thing
We are looking forward to, to i'm
prove our roads.
When plans were being discussed
last Spring for bond election, DR..
]. D. Malone, president of Marietta
Trust and Banking Co., objected to
this plan in a public meeting, be-
cause it was too large and comber-
some. Yes the people are thinking
as they never thought before" and
it is hard to put over any pet scheme
on them. Read the bill published in
The Journal last week. Every citizen
should study it for himself.
