and others from the district. Among

Plains, member Of the Sumter
county board, which was said by the
other commissioners to have been the
outstanding talk Of the session. Mr..
Oliver discussed the subject "Financ-
ing-Direct Taxation or Bonds" and
handled the ,opic in mastery
manner.
Mr.. Oliver is a banker, merchant,
, warehouscman and farmer, and con
aidered one Of the best and most
conservative business men Of South
Georgia. II reviewed the problems
county boards meet in financing coun-.
ty operations. He mentioned that
the law prevents counties borrowing
money, and that when this is done,
as it is frequently, it is illegal. He
favored county bond issues as The
best method of raising money for i'm
proTements under the circumstances,
but admitted that this did not offer
general solution, since III many
counties it is impossible to pass bond
issues of any kind. He said he be-
heyed the proposed state bend issue,
by which the main travelled roads in
every county are to be developed and
maintained, will solve the troubles of
/ all counties, as it will permit the eX-
lpentiture Of what money is available
locally entirely on local work and
IEermit the distribution more fairly
