State Gather in Atlanta, and
Give Their Unqualified En-
dorsement to the Work of
State Highway Department.

Atlanta. July 15.-Commissioners
from thirty-five countless representing
practically every section OF the state
appeared today before the highway
and general agricultural committee OF
the house. meeting in joint session,
and gave their hearty endorsement to
the state highway department, its poll
cies and its operations. The county
officials appeared to protest against
any attempt to change the present sys-
tenn OF highway development or TO
hamper the department by depriving
IT OF the proceeds Of the motor vehi-
Gle license tax.
Several caustic speeches were made
on both sides Of the question. the ad-
vocates of the presnt system OF high
way development being particularly
vehement in their denunciation Of the
alleged effort to hamstring the high
way department. The hearing was
held to consider FIVE hills. some Of
them containing similar features and
most OF them providing for the distri
button or the motor vehicle license tax
money to the several counties of the
state.
Under the law. as at present coustL
tuted. the state highway department
handles this fund. using It in connec-
tion with the federal aid funds and
county moneys to carry on highway
development The bills before the
joint committees embody the idea car
ried by the famous knight resolution
OF last year. This proposal. II win be
remembered. would have distributed
the motor vehicle tax money among
the several counties on the basis Of
post road mlleage.

a County Superintendent of
Education Sept. lst.
SPECIAL ELECTION SET
FOR AUGUST THE BOTH
Friends of the Present School
Board Do Not Relish the Idea
of the Board Being Kicked
Out of Office by the LegisIa-
tive Boot.


The bill abolishfng the present per-
sonnel of the Board Of Education
drawn by City Attorney Meader at the
request of N. H. Ballard, has been
sent by Mr.. Ballard to Representative
Mann in Atlanta for introduction and
passage. Mr.. Ballard was superinten.
dent of schools up to two years ago.
After the passage in the House, the
bill will go to the Senate, and after
passage in that body win become
law.
The new bill abolishes all the terms
of all Of the present members of the
Board on September lst 1t provides
for an election on the last of August,
and the new members are to take of
flee Immediately. This measure pro-
poses to reduce the number OF the
Board of Education from ten mem
bers, as at present. to seven, with
terms Of four years each. Under the
present plan the members are select
ed by the City commissioners and the
grand jury.
The last section OF the new bill pro-
vides that 1t shall be the duty OF the
new board to elect new county sup
erintendent of schools. At the present
time this Office is held by Mr.. G. d.
Dryden, who several months ago was
elected by the present board for d
term expiring year from now.
One pf the present Board was ASH.
ed FOR an expression rs to the pro.
posed law, and said: = suppose almost
every member OF the present board
would be willing to be relieved OF the
duties and responsibilities OF their
Office; 1t is labor Of love and with
out compensation. There are some OF
us, and our friends, who do not relish
the idea of being kicked out OF office
by the legislative boot. Perhaps ii
might have been little more seemly
to have relieved us as our terms ex-
pire; but of course the exigencies OF
the occasion do not permit Of that.
Personally it Is to be regretted that
in order to create vacancy, Mr.. Dry
den, through no fault of his own, Is

school positions throughout the county
have been filed for the next school
