The registrars appointed by May

voters for the election to vote upon
the acceptance or rejection of the
city manager plan, filed list with
the city clerk Wednesday and it be-
came known that close to 600 voters

ing strength Of the city.
The normal voting strength in

as filed today contains the names of
265 white males, 81 white women

FEEBLE MINDED
SCHOOL TOCLOSE
Legislature Passed Bill And Fail
ed To Embody Appropriation
In 1t

ATLANTA, Sept. 6. - The state
training school for mental detectives
near Augusta, will be suspended on
the first of October if Governor
Hardwick is not able to find way to
keep it going until the legislature
meets again.
This decision was announced to-
day by the state board of health,
which has charge of the institution.
The deciison is due to the failue of
the legislature to pass an effective
appropriation bill for maintenance
Of the school during 1928. The leg
islature passed a bill carrying $780,
900 for that purpose, but when Gov
ernor Hardwick examined it he
found that the bill contained nothing
but the caption and the repeating
clause. The attorney general advis-
ed him that the bill was null and
void because of the omission of the
body Of the bill.
The result of this legislature faux
pas waste leaves the school without
any maintenance appropriation for
next year. Governor Hardwick, of
course, has no objection at all to the
school or its continued operation. He
has assured the state board of health
that he will do all in his power, with
in the law, to keep the school 60
ing.
There are now at the school about
fifty students who will be sent back
to their homes if the school suspends
operations. The plan of the board
is to keep in operation the farm con-
nected with the school and to retain
the services of DIR. G. r. Preston,
the superintendent, awho is a. highly
educated and specially trained young
man
The board has on hand an uneX-
pended balance from its 1922 APP
preparation about $4,000, and this
will be enough to keep the farm 60
ing and retain the superintendent,
who would be assigned to clinical
work if the operation of the school
should be Suspended, !
