s 7 UAT ION He RI.
Says City With Low Tax Rate
Apt 10 Take lead In
March of Progress.
AMERICUs NEEDS BOOST
Suggests Auditors and Efficiency
Experts Aid in Solving Tax
Problem for Municipality

Dan Chappel, well known Amer
icus attorney, in an interesting talk
before the Lions club of Americas
today suggested the need of citl-
zens getting behind Mayor Poole
and the members of city council,
in an effort to provide the highest
type Of efficient municipal govern
ment possible, to the end Of reduc-
ing the tax burden, and giving
Americas an equal chance in the
march Of progress now lead by other
Georgia cities.
In this talk Mr.. Chappell, who
states he, is deeply Interested in at
tanning a solution of the problems
that now confront Americas, said
"The city which offers the lowest
tax rate with the most efficient
progressive city administration will
take the leadership in the growth of
American cities. Believing this to
be fundamental truth. | believe a
conscientious effort should be made
to give the citizens of Americas the
lowest tax rate possible and the
most. efficient government. Our
mayor and city council are doing
all within their power to give US a
clean and efficient government, but
they need and must have the help
and assistance of the citizens Of
this town.
within the last few months
around one hundred Of our citizens
have left Americus and gone else
where to reside. This condition
came about because Americas could
not offer opportunities as attractive
as other cities. Most of these men
who left were raised and educated
here in Americas and had just
reached the point in life where they
should have been of service to this
community. | believe the first thing
Americas needs is a boosting spirit
for Americas. We need a citizens
organization to try and prevent any
more of our citizens leaving.
at has for years been the custom
of taxpayers everywhere to com
plain about their tax bills. They
PAY the bills and that ends their
connection with the whole tax sys-
tenn. We have in Americus num-
Der of spIesdid auditors and effic-
iency experts working for the diff
ferent firms in the city. I believe
if we would lay aside petty politics
and if the mayor and city council
of Americas would request several
of these experts to check over the
departments of the city and see if
they could find any leaks, that
great saving could be had by the
city This identical plan was put
in operation by Mayor Howard Jack
son, Of Baltimore, and it gave won
derful results.
Taxes, whether local, state or
federal, have reached a point where
they are in some cases slowly
strangling business, and if Ameri-
Gus is to compete with other Geor-
gia cities for development, it must
do all within its power to lower the
tax rate and keep the city effic-
ient."

baking consists in first exposing the

of coherency, adobes can be employed
only in regions of limited rainfall.
