LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR BYRD, SPEAKER SMITH, GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE, GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THAT GREAT :OODY OF FOUR MILLION MEN, WOMEN AND CHllDREN WHO 00 TO MAKE UP GEORGIA'S CITIZENRY:
Tonight, it is with mixed emotions that I address you. on this occasion with sadness that, barri~ some unforeseen emergency, this is the last time this General Assembly and I shall be meeting together
with happiness and satisfaction that we can look over the past three years with a deep sense of accomplishment.
As we look forward to another year of work together, we can take courage from the tact that most economic barometers in Georgia are moving upward.
Employment. Incomes. Business. Farm receipts. Industrial Development. Ten thousal'ld new jobs. Thirty million in added payrolls. In 1961, over $128 million dollars invested in new plants. Georgia stood near the top in a national survey as a potential site tor new industry. We have much to be thankful for. THE STATE OF OUR GRAND OLD STATE 01 GEORGIA IS EXCELLENT! This evening I bring you good news!

Provided the economy continues its healthy improvement and provided we hold the line on revenue and expenditures, we will finance in full the Appropriation Act which you passed last year.
I have more good news tor the taxpayers of Georgia: In 1959, I asked you for NO NEW OR ADDITIONAL TAXPS! In 1960, I asked you for NO NEW OR ADDITIONAL TilESJ In 1961, I asked you tor NO NEW OR ADDITIONAL TAXES! And, in thi,s good year, 1962, I repeat that injunction - NO NEW OR ADDITIONAL TAXES! TAX HIKES REJECTED There were some suggestions that it would be much easier tore to have asked you for an increase in the sales tax to four per cent and for other assorted massive tax increases on the people. I rejected these suggestions for new taxes. I rejected them because I was unwilling to saddle our people with additional burdensome and oppressive taxation. Moreover, I was unwilling to spread an umbrella of new revenue over a State government that every citizen knew had grown top-heav,y with waste. Knowing this, the Vandiver Administration chose to do its work the hard way. We did it through economy, better enforcement of existing revenue laws and by a reemphasis in budgeting, away from pet projects benefitting the few, to the more essential state programs, affecting the welfare of all Georgia people. My friends, time has proved the wisdom ot our course. I am proud of the fact I know you are proud of the fact THAT OF ALL THE FIFrY UNITED STATES IN THIS UNION, GEORGIA STANDS AS ONE OF ONLY FIVE 2 ON THE HONOR ROLL OF STATES, WHICH DID NOT RAISE A SINGLE TAX IN 1959, 1960, or in 1961! My friends, you can go to the people on that record. SERVICES EXPANDED And, I say to you, we are doing~, in the way of financing new and expanded services, without new or additional taxes, than has been done ever heretofore, in any comparable period, with massive tax increases! You can go to the people on that record, too. The results are in You can demonstrate to your constituents what can be accoMplished through the application of simple business practices to state operations.

ASSEMBLY THEME

Back in 1959, our theme was "Cleanup and Economy."

In 1960, "Reorganization and Progress.

In 1961, "Building and Expansion."

And in 1962, at this session our theme will be, "To restore for all time

the great partnership between the Legislative and Executive Branches of the state

government in the appropriation and expenditure of public tax funds."

FOLICY PURSUED

If any one phrase or paragraph sums up the creed of the Vandiver

Administration and the Legislatures which have been a part of it, those words are
found at the beginning er our State Constitution:

"All government, of right originates with the people, is

founded upon their will only, and is instituted solely for the

good of the whole. Public officers are trustees and servants

of the people, and at all times, amenable to them."

*

*

*

Two great challenges confronted us when we began our work in 1959

fiscal bankruptcy, and
federal encroachment.
That we have met and overcome both to a large extent attests the worth of

the legislative and the executive working as full partners. Without your help,

confidence, patience, support, and cooperation, we could not have done the job.

LOOK AT LEOOER

Now, let's look at the ledger.

Let's examine it in full view of those who pay the bills.

Let's look at it with the people.

The cold figures, themselves, tell an eloquent story.

The total state budget has been raised during the Vandiver Administration

from $337 million dollars in fiscal 159 to $419 million dollars in.fiscal 63.

That is an $82-million-dollar increase.

All done without any new or additional taxes whatsoever!

The most significant fact of all is that while the overall budget has been

raised $82 million dollars, operating functions within that budget, have been raised

$89 million dollars.

How has this been done?

Through economies -- definite, traceable economies -- $3 million dollars

anrmally.

- 3-

Through purchasi~ savings -- competitive bidding, quantity buying ard business management -- another clear-cut $3 million dollars annually.
That's money in the Georgia taxpayers pockets. Add to that, the benefits derived by shifting emphasis in the budget to first things, first - $8 million dollars anrmally. And add another $40 million dollars anrmally, directly attributable to improved enforcement in the State's reverme laws. That totals in excess of $50 million dollars annually extra benefits from good management. Over two hundred million dollars gained for the people in four years. GREATEST INCREASE EVER Now, what do all of these figures mean translated into terms of expanded departmental serYices? Just this. Du.ring the Vandiver years, we will have increased support for common school operations over $40 million dollars annually, the greatest increase in the State's history in a comparable period, all without new or additional taxesJ The same for the Teacher Retirement System, for University System operations, for Milledgeville State Hospital, for the Commerce Departmen~ for the Corrections Department, when you include the amortization cost on the new prison facilities --- the greatest increases ever made in a comparable period! Most impressive of all, when you review the increases made in the sixteen major operating functions of the state government in the Vandiver Administration, you will find they total $88,916,936.89 -- all made with not a dime in new taxes. Contrast that with $76 million in increases for comparable functions in the preceding four-year period with a $60-million-dollar tax increase. In terms of services, we have bought $500 in teacher pay raises without new taxes. We have bought similar increases in the University System pay scales, expanded services at Talmadge Hospital, financed operation of the Science Center and the new junior colleges. We have bought a $200 increase and a 12-months anrmal salary for 5,000 Georgia School bus drivers without a single new tax. We have bought 2,800 new teachers, mid-term adjustments, in-serYice training grants, i~creased M & O, increased capital outlay by $5,500,000 annually, matched new federal funds, launched educational TV and provided other increases all along the line without a dime in new or additional taxation.
- 4-

Budget support for Highway Department operations will have been increased $16 million dollars in this administration without new taxes as compared to a $14-million-dollar increase in the preceding four-year period with taxes.
In the Health Department, a three million dollar greater increase without new taxes.
In the Agriculture Department operations this year, the greatest increase ever made in a single year.
For Ports development, over $4 million dollars in fiscal 161, over twice
any amount previously provided in a single year for that purpose. In the Welfare Department, a million and a half increase in this admini-
stration, which has made it possible for us to institute a seven million dollar per
year Georgia program of medical and nursing home care for our needy aged -- I remind
you -- without any new or additional taxes. Four million dollars in additional support for Milledgeville State Hospital
is raising the employee/patient ratio, by adding 575 new personnel, doubling the staff of physicians and improving rehabilitative care in all respects.
PUBLIC OONSCIENCE STIRRED Here wa.s an instance of the public conscience remembering the forgotten men and women. Here was an instance of the public conscience demanding that the mg be lifted, that complacency be swept away, so that finally the light of proper medical and psychiatric treatment and rehabilitation could shed its rays into the dark corners, that patients there could be restored to full health, happy and productive lives. Down at Gracewood, the staff has been nearly doubled, new facilities for colored opened and other expansion is underway. Then, we h~ve more than doubled the program whereby some 1,800 citizens from 152 Georgia counties are r.eceivi~ intensive mental health treatment. Time does not permit me to go into greater detail about administrative services. BUILDING PROORAMS But the whole story of the Vandiver Administration cannot be told without including its building programs, the greatest ever undertaken am budgeted b;r any administration in a comparable period. Major building programs undertaken, authorized and budgeted during the
Vandiver Administration total $854,000,000.00, as compared to $550 million in new
building of all kinds undertaken in the preceding four-year period.
- 5-

Here is the program: New State school building for the 198 systems in the State embracing over 4,500 new classrooms, 175 new cafeterias, 100 new gyms, 12 new auditoriums and other related facilities. $105,000,000.00 New Area Trade Schools in twenty Georgia communities, 20 for white and 10 for colored $ 20,000,000.00
Educational TV facilities $ 623,000.00
University System - dorm facilities for 4,000 students, the Coliseum,
105 apartments for married students, 86 new classrooms, 114 teaching laboratories, 121 research laboratories, faculty offices, an infirmary, three libraries, an
agricultural research facility, food service facilities for 5,500 students and
many others $29,189,000.00
Seventy-six new hospital and medical facility projects all over Georgia. $41,089,273.10
Highway construction, actual and anticipated, for the four-year period of the Vandiver Administration $603,000,000.00
State Ports construction $16,500,000.00 Mental Health .facilities at Milledgeville State Hospital, a 500-bed rehabilitation center, a 6o0-bed addition, a 100-bed staff dormitory, 24-unit staff apartments and a centralized food preparation center; at Gracewood, a 300-bed Infirmary building and an outpatient Rehabilitation and Evaluation Center; on the State's Briarcliff property in Atlanta, a Georgia Mental Health Center, all costing $16,000,000.00 Training Schools' Improvements. $ 1,500,000.00 Parka; Expansion and Development $ 3,000,000.00 New Armories for 20 communities. $ 3,000,000.00 New and expanded Correctional facilities. $ 4, 500,000.00Stone Mountain Development $ 6,000,000.00 Farm Markets Expansion $ 505,000.00 State Archives Building. $ 4,000,000.00 OTHER GAINS Besides these constructive accomplishments, there have been the intangible gains which make for better government. To cite just a few implementing the Senate "Watchdog Committee" report in the early- days of the administration
- 6-

enacting a strict statute prohibiting conflicts of interest instituting a state withholding system
. . - ~arning interest on idle funds
creating a research agency for the Legislature installil" latest electronic machine records procedures in the larger departments removing the constitutional prohibition against state-aid to municipalities upholding the constitutional concept of freedom of the press arxi adopting an "open records" act and, most important of all, restoring the confidence of the people of Georgia in their state government. TASK AT HAND Now, my friends, we turn to the task at hand at this session. Putting the General Assembly back in the appropriating business. This has been a concern of all of us over the past many mon1hs arxi years. We were stymied at first by the highway allocations amerximent which has now been modified. Our objectives all along have been substantially the same. But, unfortunately, no one heretofore has come forward with a workable, overall plan. The Economy and Reorganization Committee considered the matter. So did the Senate and House Committees on Appropriations and Finance. Everyone has contributed to an understanding of the problem. COMMENDS PANNELL COMMITTEE The joint Committee which you created at your last session has been working diligently under the leadership of Representative Charles Pannell. I commend in the heartiest terms the contribution which that committee has ma.de in its report to an understandiJ" of what action we must take now to restore the voice of the people in the expenditure of their tax monies. In light of the work of this committee, I am now ready to make specific recommendations to you. In formulating them I went back to the State Constitution. The separation of powers doctrine was rrry guidepost. The Legislature must appropriate. The Governor must execute.
- 7-

And anything that detracts from that grand design of constitutional protection militates against the public interest.
When in the past quarter of a century nearly one dollar out of every four has been spent by executive decree, I say to you that every last vestige of legislative discretion has been removed over state expenditures and that the General Assembly has ceased to perform its function in the government.
My experience as a department head for six years, as Lieutenant-Governor and as Governor, has demonstrated to me that whatever waste there may have been in the past, 90 per cent was attributable to the lack of a strong budgeting system and legislative appropriations.
On departmental operations in 1he past, there has been no requirement, incentive or need to plan ahead -- to formulate a budget plan. We had to do so in this administration by force of circumstances, having to make every dollar do double duty. But umer an arrangement where the custom has been to dip into the till until the well runs dry, the inevitable result is periodic demands upon the General Assembly for higher and higher taxes.
In twenty-five years, Georgia has had only six appropriation bills. We should have had a minimum of twelve. It is utterly ridiculous when massive tax increases can be levied in one year and the State is broke in the next. It is costly, imeed, when pressing State problems are glossed over and ignored year after year for lack of planning. ONLY SOLUTION What is the solution? It is to put the General Assembly of Georgia back in business. What are the stumbling blocks? There are three, as I see them. They are: (1) the crippling effects of the lame-duck; rotation system in the State Senate; and, (2) the lack of continuity in House and Senate Committees, both of which, of course, address themselves exclusively to you. The third stumbling block, which is a legitimate concern of the Executive Branch, is that of guaranteeing to the people the proper appropriation and expenditure of their public tax funds. To that end, I join with your select committee, in recommending to you the following:
- 8-

First, a constitutional amendment which would require, with no ifs, ands, or buts, a biennial appropriations bill; which would provide for a split session of
the General Assembly in odd numbered years -- 15 days to organize and receive the
budget and 30 more days for an appropriating session in the Spring nearer the beginning of the ensuing fiscal year; an amendment which would limit appropriations to
income and surplus; which would limit authority debt obligation to 15 per cent of
the total budget and which would otherwise provide a system of appropriations control by the General Assembly.
Second, an act to establish a modern-day and universally-accepted, functioning Budget Bureau for Georgia with a qualified staff, evolving a continuing financial plan for capital and recurring expenditures, this plan and related data to be available at all times to the General Assembly, to the press, to the public and to the Governor; and
~ ' an amendment to the present General Appropriations Act to provide .funds for its operation.
* * *
Gentlemen, adoption of this program is the greatest protective legacy you could leave to your children am to future generations of Georgians.
By the re-assertion of your sovereign prerogatives over the public purse, you will bring responsibility, and accountability, to state fiscal administration.
As one who has served in the General Assembly, as presiding officer of the State Senate, I say to you with complete candor, that until and unless the Georgia General Assembly determines to be master in its own house, it cannot exercise, even to the slightest degree, its constitutional responsibilities, nor can it supply those checks and balances vital to the life of the republic.
Gentlemen, the decision now is yours. I am ready -- the people are ready -- to go the full way with you. Indeed, Georgia's destiny is in your hands.
- - - 000- - There are other considerations in which the Administration has deep interest. One of these is bringing constitutional status to the State Commerce Board. Such matters will be dealt with separately, and in detail, through special messages to you during the course of the session.
- 9-

APPRECIATION TO PEOPLE In closing, I want to thank the radio and TV people, and the newspaper
people of the State tor their generous response every time I have called upon them to serve the public interest.
And to the people of Georgia, I express my heartfelt love and affection, tor their understanding, friendship and support given to me in hard days of trial and of pressure.
Three years ago when we began our work, we were confronted by overwhelming fiscal difficulties and an ever-widening educational crisis, both of which appeared impossible of satisfactory solution.
The cooperation which you am the preceding Legislature gave nry adllinistration saved Georgia people from oppressive tax increases and saved her children from the cesspools of ignorance, padlocked schools and colleges, and mob violence.
To the people of Georgia: This is the record. We are proud of it. We stand upon it before that great body of God-loving, law-abiding, honest, upright Georgia men, women and children, confident of their appraisal and confident of history's verdict.

ATLANTA 3, GEORGIA

December 15, 1961

Honorable S. Ernest Vandiver Governor of Georgia State Capitol Building Atlanta 3, Georgia
Dear Governor Vandiver:
Attached is the fiscal and program information on the operations of the Georgia Department of Public Health which you requested in your letter of December 11, 1961. Please note that the narrative material does not include Milledgeville State Hospital, the Georgia Mental Health Center or the Hospital and Medical Facility Construction Program which have been submitted to you in separate reports.
You will also be interested to know that under State Depository Board Regulations we at the current time have a principal of $4,600,000 drawing interest at the maximum 3%. The current annual earnings rate is $138,000.
Since the transfer of Milledgeville State Hospital, Gracewood State School and Hospital, and the Alcoholic Rehabilitation Service, a very high priority has been given to our broad mental health program. I am pleased to report to you that this emphasis on mental health has not been given at the sacrifice of other public health programs. This report places in focus many of those other areas of expansion and progress that have been made. It must be said that for the sake of brevity the report includes only highlights of programs which are new or expanded, and does not discuss many essential ongoing activities.
It is always a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to review Georgia's public health programs, and I am available for any further assistance that you may need in preparing your message to the 1962 General Assembly.
u fl Sincerely, t I V), l I. - /. f'--

HIGHLIGHTS OF PROGRAM EXPANSIONS IN THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH DURING THE
PERIOD - FISCAL YEAR 1958 AND FISCAL 1963.
Within the period covered in this report there have been many program changes and expansions within the Department to keep pace with our changing population and technological and scientific advances in the field of medicine. The migration from rural to urban areas creating additional public health problems in housing and our environment has continued at an even more rapid rate. We find outselves with an increasing number of older people which has required additional emphasis on chronic illness programs and expansion of allied programs to meet this changing pattern of health needs. Public Health has been charged with major responsibilities in Civil Defense, and prudence dictated that we had to be prepared for potential natural and national disasters, the latter of which required program emphasis in radiation detection and accompanying water and air pollution program. During this period the Department has occupied new and expanded quarters which has permitted more efficient operations in all public health activities. In this brief report, information will be given on new and major expansions only and will not reflect many important ongoing programs which are essential in providing total health for Georgia conununities.
Expansion of local public health programs continues as a major objective of the Department with a significant portion of the total available funds budgeted for maintenance and expansion of local operations. Grants to counties for participation in the cost of local public health programs have increased from $2,072,000 in fiscal 1958 to an estimated $3,662,000 for fiscal 1963. This increased grant represents participation in ever-increasing local public health coverage. For example, at the beginning of fiscal 1958 there were 19 Health Districts (groupings of selected counties) activated, and by the close of fiscal 1963 it is estimated that we will have 31 activated. We now have 152 counties in the state which have organized health programs.
To detect the exposure of Georgians to unnecessary radiation from manmade radionuclides from nuclear reactors in the state, the potential fallout from the testing of nuclear weapons and the hazards from radiation facilities in hospitals, medical facilities, doctors offices and other sources of ionizing radiation the Department has expanded its radiological health program. During the past three years inspections and studies of radiation facilities have been made in approximately 50 hospitals, many doctor's offices throughout the state, and all health departments which have x-ray equipment. Monitoring programs have been established in the Dawsonville nuclear reactor area, the Georgia Tech nuclear reactor area and on the Savannah River due to the Atomic Energy plant near Augusta. Routine radiation monitoring has been stepped up and is now in progress in cooperation with the National Radiation Surveillance program to record any undue rise in fallout resulting from weapons testing. During 1961 this program was expanded to include sampling of milk and water in addition to air.
-3-

Although the Department has had a civil defense health service program, recent world developments created awareness of possible inadequacies in the program. A Department Task Force was appointed and requested to spend full time on intensively reviewing the Department's responsibility, organization, and problems in this area. Excellent recommendations were made and action is being taken to assure that the health of the people of Georgia will be maintained at an optimum in time of disaster.
As Georgia's population expands, urbanizes, and industrializes the need for adequate and safe water resources must be met. We have, during the period covered, secured engineering reports on the most needed water supply projects in the state and through cooperative efforts with local governments expedited the construction of new projects. A consolidation has been made of many smaller and inefficient water and sewerage systems into larger and more efficient ones. Major strides are being made in maintaining the quality of Georgia's streams by conducting studies and surveys and working with industries, municipalities, and other water using agencies. Full use of the Water Quality Council and the Georgia Water Quality Control Act (Act 491, Ga.Laws 1957) are now being made.
Based on studies conducted throughout the country, it is estimated that slums and substandard housing districts comprise about 20 per cent of a city's residential area and 33 per cent of the population, bu~ these slums account for a much higher percentage of diseases, crime and fires. Substandard housing with its over-crowding, accident hazards, and insanitary conditions offers convincing evidence that a major public health problem exists and as a result a Housing Hygiene Program was developed in 1961 which will assist local officials in providing safe and healthful housing for the people of Georgia.
The Department worked closely with the Commission on Aging in preparing for the state meeting prior to the White House Conference on the Aging in January, 1960. Serious attention is being given throughout all departmental programs to emphasizing the health needs of the aged and to preparing to meet them. A three year demonstration project has begun in Whitfield and Murray counties to use all community resources in keeping the aged in their own homes. With the county health department as coordinator, a wide range of services will be provided, including medical evaluation, nursing service in the home as needed, consultation in elimination of accident hazards, homemaker service, and friendly visitor service. It is believed that a preventive program of this nature will reduce the need for and expense of hospitalization or nursing home care. Efforts will be made to introduce similar services in other communities.
Rapid expansion has occurred in the heart disease control program. The Department of Public Health cooperates in the operation of fifteen local heart clinics throughout the state which provide diagnosis and care for all types of heart disease. A major research project is in operation to determine
-4-

some of the causes of atherosclerosis. There are some 40,000 stroke victims in Georgia. Many of these can learn to use crippled muscles through simple exercises. Stroke rehabilitation seminars have been conducted for public health nurses and nursing home employees in many areas of the State. These persons are now teaching stroke victims exercises which can place many on the road to recovering use of anns and legs which have long lain donnant.
A pilot project was begun in 1958 to explore and develop ways and means of providing services to preschool mentally retarded children and their families within the framework of a comparatively rural local health department. This project has helped the child to make the most adequate adjustment at home and in conununity life and has had the added benefit of exploring the possible roles of the various disciplines of a local health staff in the field of mental retardation. The project began in Muscogee, Harris, Chattahoochee, Troup, Meriwether, and Talbot counties and was expanded in 1961 to also include Marion, Webster, Sumter, Schley, Stewart, and Taylor counties.
The Gracewood State School and Hospital was transferred to the Department of Public Health in July, 1960. Since that time facilities for Negro patients have opened, construction has begun on a 300-bed infirmary for severely retarded non-ambulatory patients, plans have been made and funds secured for an outpatient rehabilitation center, and additional professional personnel have been added to the staff. Now Gracewood is filled to capacity in fact, 20 per cent overcrowding and there are 1,000 on the waiting list. In the Department's Maternal and Child Health Service, plans are being made to develop supportive programs in local communities to assist parents in keeping their retarded children at home when it is medically advisable.
The program and facilities of the Georgia Commission on Alcoholism were transferred to the Department of Public Health and the Commission made advisory to the State Board of Health on July 1, 1960. The program operates two treatment centers: The Georgian Clinic in Atlanta and the Chatham Clinic in Savannah. Both of these facilities have functioned at maximum capacity for some time. Two-thirds of the patients treated in the two centers have been returned to their communities as productive, responsible citizens. The cost of providing treatment is small compared to the total annual amount of earned income which otherwise would have been lost.
Our Community Mental Health Service develops and coordinates the comprehensive statewide program as an integral part of the overall public health program in state and local health departments. Program expansion has been impressive during the period of this report. In 1957 only four local health departments employed professional mental health staff for work in modified child guidance clinics. Today nine of the larger health departments employ mental health personnel, one other has budgeted funds, and by the end of fiscal year 1962 the total will be 12 to 14. In 1957 only 29 counties had begun formal participation in the program of public health nursing service to the mentally ill and their families. This year the total will reach 153 counties with this service as part of their organized health department program. With
-5-

a speed up in the program last year, orientation courses at Milledgeville State Hospital were completed for all the local public health nurses in the state, and all newly employed nurses receive this as part of their general orientation. For the second year similar but more intensive orientation courses are betng held at Talmadge Memorial Hospital for first-hand experience with general hospital psychiatric care. Not only nurses, but other general public health personnel are taking on increasing responsibilities in the public health-mental health program.
In 1957 the first funds ($75,000 a quarter) were made available for intensive treatment in general hospitals. The first patient on the program was admitted January 1, 1958. Now this program, with an annual budget of $700,000, has served some 1,800 citizens from 152 of our 159 counties. In addition to the four hospitals with inpatient services, two additional outpatient clinics have begun. By mid-1963 there should be at least 10 general hospitals involved in this program, which looks to the community general hospital as a key resource in providing local medical and psychiatric service to emotionally ill persons.

Highlights of Highway Program January 1959 - December 1961

Our state's program of highway construction and ,improvement is moving at a pace far faste~ than ever before; to bring to our people, our commerce, our industry, and our vis tors a highway system in which every Georgian may justly take pride.

The year 1961 was, ljy far, the greatest single year in the history of Georgia roadbuilding. During the past year, construction contracts were let on a t0tal of $146,051,653.40 in new roadwork; not includi11g that ione under county contract, or by state maintenance forces. Contracts let in July alone totaled $34,276,453.44; more than !'or any full year up to and including 1951.

Contracts let by the Highway Department since January

1959 total $ 289,192,912.16

When you add to this engineering

and contingencies costs amounting to$ 28,919,291.22 , right

of way purchases amounting to $ 37,632,986.82 , and more than

$ 21,690,000.00 in County Contract and State Forces work,

the total spent on the improvement and expansion of Georgia's

vital highway network under the first three years of the

Vandiver Administration becomes a staggering$ 377,745,190.0Q

And, the highway program under the Vandiver Administration has not only been a big program; it has been a balanced program.

There has been no topheavy concentration upon a single type of roads, built to benefit a certain segment of the population at the expense of the remainder of the motoring public. Rather, Georgia's roadbuilding program for the past three years has been marked by outstanding progress on each of the aspects that go to make up the total highway system:
Interstate highways, Primary, Secondary and Urban highways, and farm-to-market highways.

-2-
Georgia's 1100-mile Interstate highway network is rapidly being transformed from a dream into reality, at a pace that is as rapid as the availability of Federal funds will permit.
As of this date, construction contracts have been let on 349 miles of Interstate routes, of which 145 miles are now in use. Of these totals, 259 miles have been let to contract and 115 miles opened to traffic since January 1959.
During 1962, contracts are scheduled to be let on some 75 miles of Interstate work, at a cost of some 60,000,000 in Federal and State funds.
As the Interstate System will pass through only about 40 per cent of our state's counties, it will be of maximum value only if it is buttressed by a modern and adequate system of Federalaid Primary and Secondary highways to tie those counties not served by Interstate routes into the nation's main traffic stream.
Georgia is developing its Primary and Secondary systems at a pace which matches, if not exceeds, its progress on Interstate conatruction.
From January 1, 1959, through December 31, 1961, contracts amounting to some$ 104,480,449 had been let for construction, reconstruction, and improvements on 1,332.iiles of these highways and urban arteries. At this time, the Highway Department has plans ready, or virtually ready, for contract on a dozen projects in the million dollar and over price range on work in this category, located in every area of the state.
We will simply not be able to get all of these projects under construction this year because of financial limitations. Georgia receives Federal-aid road funds on a quarterly basis. Under this administration, for the first time in history, we have a backlog of projects ready for letting and find ourselves having to wait for each new quarterly allocation before we can let the work to contract. However, contracts will be let just as rapdily as funds become available.

-3-

The State-aid program provides the final link between the total highway program and the individual Georgian.This program covers farm-to-market roads and other projects not ~mbraced by some aspect of the Federal-aid program.

From January 1, 1959 until December 31, 1961, some

S21,690,ooo.oo

was expended onl,565.Ekiles of work under

this category, not including work under the Highway Authority

program.

In order to bolster the construction of farm-tomarke.t roads, a seventh increment of Rural Roads bonds, totaling some $15,750,000 is being reissued. This will provide for some
533 miles of work in 97 counties, all of which should be under
contract by the end of 1962.

During the past three years, Highway Department Maintenance forces have averaged some 1100 miles per year in paving, patching, widening, and resurfacing along Georgia's 16,000-mile State Highway System. They have also repainted 45-50 thousand miles of center and barrier lines and manufactured or reconditioned over 100,000 road signs.

Under this administration, the Highway Department has initiated the practice of using reflectorized paint on bridges, especially those of sub-standard width. Over 800 bridges have been reflectorized by state forces since this program was inaugurated in 1960.

The 100-million dollar highway Authority road reconstruction program is undoubtedly the most outstanding feature of the Highway program under the Vandiver Administration.

When this administration took office three years ago, it inherited a Highway System which was in critical condition due to years of wholly inadequate funds being set aside for maintenance.

In response to public demand that immediate and farreaching measures be taken to remedy this situation, the State Highway Authority was created by the General Assembly at the request of the Governor.
The Highway Authority was empowered to issue bonds to finance needed improvements to more than 6300 miles of the state's major Primary and Secondary highways; the routes over which flow the bulk of our industrial, commerciJ, agricultural, and tourist traffic; the arteries over which some 66.5 per cent of the state's total annual vehicular mileage is driven.
The first increment of bonds, totaling 30 million
dollars, was sold in July, and the second increment, 35
million dollars, in November.
To date, work has been initiated on 2,893 miles, obligating some 43 million dollars in bond funds. Of this, 353.37 miles of improvements, costing $3,740,320.00, were completed before seasonal limitations closed the construction season.
The third increment, also totaling 35 million dollars, is scheduled to be sold in March. All work under the Highway Authority program will be complete or under contract by the end of 1962.
In addition to the savings in time, temper, lives, and property that will accrue to Georgia motorists, and to the increased tourist good will which it will create upon completion, this program is already having a profound effect upon the state's economy.
Contractors, materials suppliers and handlers, and equipment dealers are having to increase their payrolls and outputs; and the highway construction worker's demands for goods and services of every kind should carry a share of the funds used in financing the program into almost every Georgia household.

-5-
This, then, is Georgia's highway program under ~he Vandiver Administration - the greatest highway program in her history. It is imperative that this program be continued to provide, and to maintain, a highway system that will be, at least, comp~rable in scope and quality to that of any of our neighboring states.

STATE OFFICE BUILDING
--ATL-ANT-A, G-A.
December 6, 1961

Honorable S. Ernest Vandiver Governor, State of Georgia State Capitol
Atlanta 3, Georgia
Dear Governor Vandiver:
The Georgia Department of Public Welfare has developed a State Plan, to be initiated effective January 1, 1962, providing a limited program of vendor payment medical ca.re for recipients of Old Age Assistance. Although vendor payments are permitted for various classes of medical care under Georgia's Medical Assistance for the Aged Act of 1961, the provisions of this plan are restricted to hospital care and to nursing home care because of limited State funds.
In the program development, the Hospital Advisory Council, the Medical Association of Georgia, the Georgia Hospital Association, and the Georgia Association of Nursing Homes have been very active, and the recommendations of these groups have been incorporated into the medical care program. To assist in carrying out the medical phase of the program, the Welfare Department entered into an agreement with the Medical Association of Georgia to furnish consultative services in connection with the medical aspects of the program; and in addition to such services, to review all hospital claims for conformity to the medical limitations of the program and for assurance that the service contained in each claim is reasonable as related to the diagnosis.
The hospital care vendor payment phase of the program will provide essential inpatient hospitalization for recipients of Old Age Assistance diagnosed by a physician as acutely ill or injured. Each recipient is eligible for a maximum of ten (10) days per admission but limited to a total of thirty (30) days of hospital care per calendar year. Payment of claims for hospital care will be made by the Welfare Department directly to the hospitals. For Georgia's approximately 100,000 aged recipients, this limited hospital care program is estimated to cost $300,000.00 per month or $3,600,000.00 per year, with the State participation amounting to $720,000.00. This estimate provides a monthly average of $3.00 per case for hospitalization.
The nursing home care vendor payment program for recipients of Old Age

Honorable S. Ernest Vandiver December 6, 1961

Page 2

Assistance is limited to care in a skilled nursing home which has been granted a permit by the Georgia Department of Public Health to operate under either of the following classifications: (1) Medical Nursing Care Home, (2) Skilled Nursing Care Home, or (3) Nursing Care Home. Nursing care is provided the recipients of Old Age Assistance in need of such care as determined and recommended by a physician, without any limit as to number of days. This class of care, as provided through a vendor payment to the nursing home, would be in lieu of the assistance grant except for clothing and incidentals. Based on a utilization of the above specified skilled nursing homes by
approximately 3% of the aged recipients, the nursing home care program is estimated to
cost $300,000.00 per month or $3,600,000.00 per year, with the State participation amounting to $720,000.00.

The combined cost of the medical care program, to be put into operation beginning with January 1962, is estimated to cost $600,000.00 per month or $7,200,000.00 per year, with the State participation amounting to $1,440,000.00. This total estimate provides a monthly average cost of $6.00 per case for both hospital care and nursing home care.

It is the opinion of the Welfare Department that a limited hospital and skilled nursing home services program for Old Age Assistance recipients can be financed from the regular appropriation for assistance benefits, after taking into consideration State funds released effective October 1, 1961 under provision of Public Law 87-64, enacted by Congress under date of June 30, 1961, which, among other liberalizing provisions amending the Social Security Act, increased Federal participation in assistance money payments for the adult public assistance programs. This estimate as to sufficiency of State funds is on the assumption that the economy of the country is now gradually pulling out of the recession that started in the fall of 1960 and it is, therefore, not now necessary to consider the possibility of a large increase in new cases as was evidenced by caseload trends last fall when the appropriation request was prepared. Also, by the channeling of excess State funds into vendor medical payments instead of increasing assistance money payments, matching Federal funds will be on a four to one basis instead of an approximate two to one basis.

Information as to assistance payments, month of November 1961, for Old Age Assistance, Aid to the Blind, Aid to Dependent Children and Aid to the Permanently and Totally Disabled Programs is given in the attached tabulation.

It is estimated that State funds required for maintenance of assistance rolls

under present standards, plus the limited program of Vendor Payment Medical Care, as

described above, will require the full amount of the regular State appropriation during

fiscal year 1962-63.

Dear Governor Vandiver:
In response to your request, we are furnishing you herewith a narrative memorandum outlining the progress of the new State School Building program made possible by your administration.
The first contracts under the new program a.re scheduled to be let in the near future, and it is expected that the first of the new classrooms will be ready for occupancy when school opens in September. When the program is completed all school children in Georgia, a.s of the 1959-1960 average daily atte1%iance, will be in standard classrooms.
If additional information is needed please do not hesitate to let us hear from you.
Sincerely,

The first of two sa.les of bonds by the State School Building Authority recently gave the green light to the n~w Sta.te school building program ma.de possible by the Vandiver administration through the appropriation of $5 million a.nnua.lly to fina.nce the construction of needed classrooms and new area vocational-technical schools. Under the first bond sa.le, $32 million will enable thirty-six school systems to award contracts for new buildings in the immediate future.
Up to December 1st, school building programs were approved for 119 of the 198 school systems in the State. Included in the programs a.lrea.dy approved are 477 individual projects which will provide 2588 new classrooms, 88 new cafeterias, 50 new gymnasiums and 6 new auditoriums in addition to other needed fa.cili ties. State funds to be used in the construction of auditoriums a.nd gymnasiums will be ma.tched dolla.r-fordollar from local funds.
When programs have been approved from other school systems of the State, it is expected tha.t the tc.,tal new classrooms will exceed 4,500 with corresponding increases in the number of cafeteria.s and other facilities.
In addition to the school systems included in the first sale of bonds by the Ltate School Building Authority,

- 2-
thirty-four school systems with programs costing less tha.n $100,000 will a.lso be able to proceed immediately with construction of new facilities. Approximately $1 million will be used by these systems.
The second sale of bonds by the Building Authority, scheduled for the early spring, will complete the $70 million school building program sponsored by Governor Vandiver. Every county a.nd independent school system in the State will pa.rticipate in the program, which will not only provide needed school fa.cilities for the boys and girls in Georgia, but will also provide employment for an a.rmy of workmen in all sections of the State.

Pursuant to your request, we are sending you herewith a narrative memora.ndum setting forth the progress made thus far in the new Area Trade School Program. We are also enclosing a table showing the current status of each project approved by the State Board of Education a.long with a ta.ble showing the estimated cost of each project.
This is a. program which, we believe, will have farreaching effects on the economy of Georgia. The four schools in opera.tion are already making their contributions to the a.reas in which they a.re located, and we know that you will be justifiably proud of the contribution your administration will continue to make to the progress of Georgia through these area vocational-technical schools.

Nineteen sixty-one marked the beginning of a new era in trade and industria.1 education in Georgia. with the opening of four new area vocational teehnica.1 schools loca.ted at Albany, Augusta., a.nd Columbus. These a.re the first of thirty-one a.rea. vocational-technical centers ma.de possible by the Va.ndiver administration a.s a. pa.rt of its program of expansion for Georgia.
In operation a.t the present time are vocationa.1-technical schools for white students a.t Augusta. a.nd Columbus, a.nd centers for Negro students a.t Albany a.nd Columbus. Nearing completion are schools for white students at Albany a.nd Rome. These will be ready for occupancy during the current school year.
The first increment of State School Building Authority bonds which were sold recently included funds for the construction of vocationa.1-technical schools for white students in DeKalb County, Thoma.sville, Marietta. and Moultrie. Also included in this bond sale were funds for the Negro school at Thoma.sville. Plans for these buildings a.re nearing completion and it is expected that these schools will be ready for occupancy in 1962.
Allotments of State funds will be ca.pitalized through the sedond sale of bonds by the Sta.te School Building Authority for thirteen additiona.1 white centers, and seven a.dditional centers for Negroes. White schools will be located at Atlanta, Sa.vannah, Swainsboro, Thoma.ston, Valdosta, Athens, Macon, Sandersville,

- 2-
Waycross, Brunswick, Griffin, Dougla.s, and in Wa.lker County. Additiona.l centers for Negroes are included at Atlanta, Savannah, Athens, Macon, Sa.ndersville, Waycross a.nd Brunswick. Approval has been given for a center for white students at Douglas to be constructed when State and loca.l funds are availa.ble.
The area. vocationa.1-technical schools already in operation, under construction or scheduled for construction when completed will represent an investment of $20,000,000 in the industrial future of Georgia. State funds ma.de availa.ble by the Vandiver administration a.re being used to match loca.l funds on a dollarfor-dollar basis to bring opportunities for needed technical training to all of the people of Georgia.
When all of the approved area vocational-technical training centers are in operation, these facilities will be in commuting dista.nce of every community in Georgia. It is a.nticipa.ted that the ava.ila.bility of trained wo?:Tkers will attract new industries to the State and strengthen the economy of all sections of Georgia.

December 5, 1961

Honorable S. Ernest Vandiver Governor, State of Georgia State Capitol Atlanta 3, Georgia

Dear Governor Vandiver:

In response to your request of November 27, I am pleased to furnish the following report on the status of University System Building Programs since January, 1959.

Funds Available for Construction

1. On September 1, 1959, the University System Building Authority issued bonds in the amount of $5,877,000 which were sold to the Housing and Home Finance Agency of the Federal Government with the proceeds to be used in constructing dormitory facilities. Using the proceeds of this bond issue, the University System Building Authority has completed construction of dormitories on the campuses of four institutions of the University System which will house 2,027 students. Income from these new facilities plus income from existing dormitory facilities will be used to pay annual rentals to the Building Authority for the use of these buildings. The buildings constructed under this bond issue are as followsr

University of Georgia - Six dormitories to house 981 students
Georgia Tech - Five dormitories to house 736 students
North Georgia College - Dormitory Annex to house 150 students
Georgia Southern College - One dormitory to house 160 students

$2,970,000 1,948,000
373,000 455,000

Total

$5.746.000

2. On May 1, 1961, the University System Building Authority issued bonds in the amount of $13,000,000 with the proceeds to be used in constructing buildings on the campuses of the institutions of the University System. This bond issue was made possible by an increase in the annual appropriation to the Board of Regents in the amount of $1,000,000 to be used in paying annual rentals to the Building Authority for the use of fac'ilities constructed. In addition to the $13,000,000 provided by the Bond Issue, you have provided an additional amount of $590,750 by special appropriation to supplement the amount available for the construction of the Coliseum at the University of Georgia. The following listed buildings have been approved for construction under this bond issue and are either under construction or will be at an early date:

3. Plans have been completed and applications approved for the University System Building Authority to issue bonds in the amount of $6,170,000 to be sold to the Housing and Home Finance Agency with the proceeds to be used in constructing dormitory and dining facilities. This amount will be supplemented by funds available to the Board of Regents in the amount of $150,000. It is expected that these bonds will be sold within the next few weeks and construction contracts awarded. Income from these new facilities plus income from existing dormitory facilities will be used to pay annual rentals to the Building Authority for the use of these buildings. The facilities to be constructed will provide housing for 1,900 students and dining facilities for 2,000 students. The buildings to be constructed are as follows:

Honorable S. Ernest Vandiver Governor of Georgia State Capitol Building Atlanta 3, Georgia

Dear Governor Vandiver:

I am pleased to furnish you the attached information which you requested as resource material for preparing your message to the General Assembly.

The material submitted is brief, in compliance with your request. So much has been done in the mental health field in Georgia over the past two and one-half years, and I have available, on your request, more extensive explanatory data on virtually all subjects covered in this report.

Through your personal efforts and interest, those of the General Assembly and many others interested in mental health, we have made progress beyond what I could envision when the responsibility for Milledgeville State Hospital was given to this Department. Future planning, not requested for this report, of our comprehensive program which includes Milledgeville State Hospital, Gracewood State School and Hospital, the Alcoholic Rehabilitation Service, and Community Mental Health Service is thought provoking and exciting. Progress made in the past, as impressive as it may be, is only the foundation and first major stride toward a program which we feel certain will be a model for the rest of the country.

Sincerely,

/,~' {. I '

CURRENT STATUS OF MENTAL HEALTH BUILDING PROGRAM
1. Construction at Milledgeville State Hospital
a. 500 Bed Yarbrough Rehabilitation Center
Date construction began March, 1961 Cost (less movable equipment) $ 2,994,000.00 Per cent complete o 30% Estimated completion date Late calendar year 1962
This building will be utilized for the admission and screening of all male and female patients. It will afford an opportunity for the immediate treatment of the patients' condition and expeditious rehabilitation and discharge from the hospital. This will be the first comprehensive rehabilitation program to be undertaken by a state mental hospital. A team composed of physicians, psychologists, social workers, therapists, educators, vocational counselors and psychiatric nurses will work together in interviewing, evaluation, intensive treatment, vocational training, placement and follow-up of discharged patients in the community. The building will also be used for teaching and in-service training programs. $250,000 in Federal funds has been approved to match an equal amount of State funds for equipping this facility.
b. 627 Bed Addition to the Arnall Building
Date construction began March, 1961 Cost (less movable equipment)$ 1,938,000.00 Per cent complete o 50% Estimated completion date Mid calendar year 1962
This sizable addition to the Arnall Building will be utilized primarily for the domiciliary care of patients. Additional beds in this modern and welldesigned structure will permit the closing of many undesirable and substandard beds and the elimination of overcrowding in other patient housing buildings. It will also provide a more concentrated approach for the training of personnel in conjunction with the hospital's in-service training program.
c. 100 Bed Staff Dormitory and 24 Unit Staff Apartment Building
Date construction began March, 1961 0 Cost (less movable equipment) $ 978,000.00 Per cent complete 50% Estimated completion date Mid Calendar Year 1962
These buildings will furnish modern living conditions for professional and supervisory personnel. Service and recreational facilities will be available which the hospital had not been able to supply previously. The shortage of qualified professional personnel is considered one of the most serious obstacles to progress at the hospital. The existence of this new dormitory and apartment building will be of marked value in the overall recruitment program.
-1-

d. Centralized Kitchen
Date construction began March, 1961 Cost (less movable equipment)$ 1,570,000.00 Per cent complete 25% Estimated completion date Late Calendar Year 1962
This new building is to be a centralized food preparation and storage area for the entire hospital, which will virtually eliminate 29 individual kitchens and provide for a more efficient and economical food service operation. Cafeteria space for white and colored employees will also be provided. All food, with a few exceptions such as certain breakfast items, will be prepared in this kitchen and transported to the various patient serving areas over the campus.
2. Construction at Gracewood State School and Hospital
a. 300 Bed Infirmary Building
Date construction began March, 1961 Cost (less movable equipment) $1,716,000.00
Per cent complete. 60%
Estimated completion date Mid Calendar Year 1962
This building will be used to provide treatment for mild diseases not requiring acute medical or surgical care, thereby relieving the present medical and surgical hospital of this category of patient so that concentration may be placed on the more extensive medical, surgical and neurological problems of the mentally retarded. This new facility will increase the beds available in the existing acute general hospital and other patient housing areas and thereby permit a reduction in the waiting list for admission which is presently around 1,000.
b. Outpatient Rehabilitation and Evaluation Center
Present status Bids have been opened and contract should be awarded within 30 days.
Estimated date construction to begin January, 1962 Cost: State - $340,000.00; Federal $340,000.000; Total$ 680,000.00 Estimated completion date Early Calendar year 1963
This facility will furnish outpatient diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation services to the mentally retarded on a statewide basis. The program provided in this facility will permit a larger segment of the mentally retarded population to receive care which may substantially delay institutionalization, shorten it, or obviate it entirely. Supportive services will be provided to parents who are keeping children in their own homes and communities and will provide a facility for increasing the discharge rate of the less severely retarded.

3. Construction in Atlanta a. Georgia Mental Health Center Present Status Preliminary Architectural Drawings Completed Final Plans to be Completed by September 1962 Estimated Date Construction to Begin December, 1962 Estimated Cost to the State $ 6,000,000.00 Estimated Completion Date. January, 1964 This new facility, to be located in Atlanta, will be a teaching and research center for the mentally ill and will draw its patients from all over the State. It will be built and administered by the Georgia Department of Public Health with the responsibility for training and medical direction resting with the Department of Psychiatry of the Emory University School of Medicine. Approximately 200 inpatient beds will be provided for patients with a diagnosis of teaching or research value. Outpatient clinics and day and night hospital and other services will permit the daily treatment of more than 500 patients. Educational programs will provide clinical experience at the graduate level in psychiatry, clinical psychology, psychiatric social work, psychiatric nursing, and public health nursing. It is planned to offer short courses and institutes for groups with an indirect interest in the mental health field such as parole officers, teachers, law enforcement officers, nursing home operators, State legislators, and public health officers. More comprehensive educational programs may be offered for occupational therapists, chaplains, social scientists, hospital administrators, medical students and nurse assistants. Applications have been submitted for Federal matching funds for assistance in constructing and equipping this facility.

HIGIIl,IGHTS OF IMPROVEMENTS AT MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL SINCE THE TRANSFER TO THE
GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
Since the transfer of Milledgeville State Hospital to the State Board of Health and the Georgia Department of Public Health on April 24, 1959 steady and in many areas remarkable progress has been made toward the goal of a hospital for Georgia's mentally ill "second to none in the nation:. It should be clearly stated that all improvements and plans for progress have all had the connnon goal of improvement of patient care.
Perhaps the most pressing problem which faced the Health Department from the very outset of the transfer was the availability of professional and allied technical personnel. The first major step of progress in this area was obtaining the services of a highly qualified superintendent, Dr. Irville H. MacKinnon. Dr. MacKinnon is a board certified psychiatrist with long experience and an outstanding record of accomplishments in psychiatry and hospital administration.
On July l, 1960 a psychiatric residency training program was initiated at the hospital through an affiliation with Emory University and the Medical College of Georgia, and today 31 psychiatric residents from these two schools are rotating through Milledgeville State Hospital. Before the transfer to the Health Department the hospital was allowed, by law, a maximum of four academic scholarships a year. Currently there are many academic scholarships available for all categories of professional mental health disciplines. There are currently in graduate programs, on stipends from the hospital, four psychiatric social work students and two doctoral candidates in psychology. Affiliated training programs with Southern college and universities are now underway or planned in the fields of psychology, social work, nursing, music therapy and theology. There are now in-service educational programs in operation at the hospital for psychiatric aides and attendants, which are raising the level of training and abilities of existing employees and in many instances qualifying them for more responsible positions.
Georgia is one of a very few states in the United States which has centralized all public health programs, including mental health, in one Department. Effective and efficient procedures in integrating mental health into a statewide public health program have been developed which indicate an unparalleled opportunity for growth. In this cooperative effort, indoctrination courses are conducted at the hospital for public health physicians and nurses to better qualify them to conduct the statewide program of services to the mentally ill, including follow-up services to discharged or furloughed patients and services to their families.
Through methodical studies and analysis, significant progress has been made in the administrative organization of this mannnoth institution. Initially, proper administrative channels were established which reduced the number of personnel reporting directly to the Superintendent from approximately thirty to less than ten. Consolidation of all nursing service and attendant personnel was realized and the assignment of all business administration responsibilities to one qualified administrator was made. Administrative reorganization will ultimately lead to dividing the 12,000 beds of the hospital into separate,
-6-

independent operating units. Each of tlese units will have a director who is a board certified psychiatrist with assistance from a hospital administrator and nurse administrator. Personnel are now available to formally establish one unit on January 1, 1962, and two additional ones on April 1, 1962. Pro~ram planning has now been completed for the implementation of all units as soon as qualified personnel become available.
To prevent the age-old problem of hospital owned supplies from reaching the community, standardized control procedures have been successfully established and for the first known time in the history of the hospital all drugs have been combined into a single formulary which has resulted in a major reduction in items stocked and a decreased inventory and cost. Many other internal administrative improvements have been made; a few of which include standardized procedures in the control and disbursement of drugs and alcohol, the elimination of employee purchases of non-stocked drug items, a more equitable policy of employee hospital care benefits which has released many hospital beds for patients rather than ineligible relatives of employees, and the adjustment of employee's salaries to the same pay scale as other employees. A qualified Director of Public Relations has been employed which has improved the communication between the administration of the hospital and the employees and public in general.
Remarkable progress has been made in direct patient care areas. All new patients are now sent directly to an intensive treatment building and interviewed within twenty-four hours after admission. Those who can be helped by intensive treatment are screened out and given this therapy. Approximately 70 per cent are now being returned home within 90 days. Techniques developed in this program will lead to a soundly planned program of service when the new 500-bed intensive rehabilitation building is opened in late 1962.
A new vocational rehabilitation program, in cooperation with the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation was established in September 1960 and is now staffed by a doctor, psychologist, social worker, three vocational counselors and two secretaries. All new patients are interviewed and assistance given for job placement upon their discharge. A vocational rehabilitation school for teaching many trades is incorporated in the intensive rehabilitation building now under construction. The present staff will be a nucleus for a greatly expanded rehabilitation program when the new facilities become available in late 1962.
Separate departments of recreational, occupation and music therapy which have been established are now concentrating on taking these activities to the chronic wards where they have been so direly needed. Marked progress has been made in an active and expanded volunteer program with ladies from the local and nearby communities participating with patients in garden club activities, picnics, teas and other social activities.
Through the increased utilization of both male and female prisoners in non-patient areas, the hospital has been able to transfer many employees to direct patient care areas which are understaffed. Many of these employees have participated in the hospital's in-service training program and are being used in such areas as occupational and recreational therapy.
-7-

The need for more humane admission procedures for our mentally ill has long been prominent in Georgia. In 1960 such a law was passed which places emphasis on the care and treatment of patients and helps destroy the age-old stigmat~sm which has for many decades been attached to mental illness. The use of this law has been steadily increasing since its effective date of July 1, 1960, and today over 60% of all patients now being admitted to Milledgeville State Hospital use this new and humane legislation.
Pronounced physical improvements have been made during the past two years. The most substandard housing facility at the hospital, known as the "State Farm Building", has been closed, with the patients being moved to more adequate facilities and plans are made to abandon the Dupree Building as soon as new facilities under construction are completed. A complete renovation has been made of dining facilities in the Boone, Boland and Washington buildings and virtually all other dining rooms have been repainted. The less suitable smaller kitchens have been closed with services provided from other expanded kitchens. Overall food sanitation has been improved including the addition of sanitary milk dispensers throughout the institution. A sanitary land fill, together with modern operating equipment has been activated.
Improvements in fire safety have been made by the addition of new fire fighting equipment and changing water mains as recommended by Southeastern Underwriters. In addition to routine fire inspections by ward personnel individual buildings, members of the hospital security force check all buildings that might be hazardous every sixty minutes during the evening hours.

P. 0. BOX 1039 SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
December 14, 1961

Hon. Ernest Vandiver Executive Department State Capitol Building Room 202-B Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Governor Vandiver:
Attached to this letter is the narrative memorandum you requested on Georgia ports for your address to the Legislature. If there is any other information you require, please let me know.

cc: J. D. Holt Ed JBridges mi.chard Ashworth file

GEORGIA PORTS AUTHORITY
Box 1039 Savannah, Georgia

MBR.AT IVE MEMORANDUM ON PORTS PRcx;RESS

INI'RODUCT ION
Since the beginning of this administration, the forward-moving pace of Georgia Ports activity has leaped ahead. Expansion has been the keynote - expansion to meet the continuing demand for more and more port facilities - expansion to improve Georgia's ability to import and export competitively - expansion in sales effort and service to users of Georgia's terminals.
BRUNSWICK, GEORG IA
In 1959, Brunswick, the second of Georgia's deepwater ports to receive a state port facility, was given a tremendous boost when construction was begun on a'general cargo berth and transit shed to supplement that city's bulk cargo berth. The people of Brunswick and Glynn County contributed the land for this project and the administration followed through, emphasizing the cooperation that has existed between this administration and the people of Georgia.
This construction was completed and the terminal dedicated in August, 1960. This wharf was 560' long of steel and concrete. A 57,000 square foot transit shed, modern in every respect with dockside rail tracks and modern loading and off-loading equipment, was also built.
Construction will begin early in 1962, probably in February, on another general cargo berth and transit shed for Brunswick. This donstruction will be financed under the $11,500,000 bond issue provided by this administration for the state's largest port construction program.
It is interesting to note that in 1953, Brunswick recorded only seven ships calling to handle less than a quarter million tons of cargo. In 1961, over 1,000,000 tons and nearly 100 ships used this port.
GARDEN CITY TERMINALS - SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
In 1959, at Savannah's Garden City Terminals, construction of a new T-head pier for petroleum products, molasses, latex, and petrochemicals was started. This pier has been completed and liquid cargo at this facility have reached the 415,162 ton mark through fiscal 1961.
Also, at this tenuinal, three new berths, costing $4,000,000 which were authorized by this administration are nearly completed and will be placed into operation soon. As soon as bids are received, another two and a quarter million dollars of the new bond issue will be spent to build a huge modern cold storage facility to aid Georgia's poultry and ~S&\p1!~guB~i~~Hi ~8ni!Mltiinif ~i}a~nwer1~0 ,~:HJfnif~acity; and to

Page 2 - Georgia Ports Progress - Garden City ~erminals (con't)
When complete, Garden City Terminals will have seven general cargo berths, two tanker berths, five transit sheds, totalling 317,000 sq. feet; four modern gantry cranes; rail trackage am modern material hudling equipment; 2,012,000 sq. ft. of commercial warehouse space; a cold storage plant containing 804,000 cubic feet of space; a modern fumigating plant; a molten sulphur facility capable of handling 60,000 tons of sulphur; and a switching rail carrier with two diesel electric engines operating 17 miles of track.
~ TERMINALS &. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
At ocean terminals, where tonnages increased over ll5% or more than
doubled during our Authority's first year of operation in 1959, some $425,000 was allocated for renovation and improvement, for berthing and docking facilities, and for building additional storage and trtjcking areas. These have been c ompleted.
Now, over $3,800,000 has been further allocated for this fawility. Under the new bond program. It will provide three additional general cargo berths and another transit shed in addition to heavy-duty gantry cranes.
When this new construction is complete, Ocean Terminals in ~avannah will have seven general berths totaling 4,566 lineal feet; one barge berth totaling 205 lineal feet; five transit sheds totaling 491,000 square feet; two bulk handling berths totaling 1,000 lineal feet; with 107,540 square feet of warehouse area for the storage of bulk fertilizer; one berth totaling 700 lineal feet, leased for loading and unloadinggof rail cars by Seatrain Lines; 296,148 square feet of commerchal warehouse area; two gantry cranes and other modern equipment.
AUGUSTA, GEORG IA
Our new state inland barge terminal at Augusta will be opened for business this spring. This administration has invested over one-half million dollars in this inland barge port which includes a terminal berth and transit shed as well as sockside rail tracks and modern equipment for handling cargo.
It is our personal knowledge that this port has already played an important part in the decision made by one large industry to locate in Augusta. Others will follow as the capabilities of this port are developed.
Soon in 1962, another half-million dollars will be used to double the size of this f8cility. Another barge terminal and transit shed will be added and a liquid bulk handling facility erected.
When completed, Augusta will have two barge berths totalling 400 lineal feet; two transit sheds totalling 42,500 square feet, and the most modern handling equipment available.
COLUMBUS,

Page 3 - Georgia Ports ~rogress
COLUMBUS, GEOIDIA
The Chattahoochee River, long a target for the Corps of Engineers will soon be maintained at a level of 9' soon, and we are moving immediately to build an inland barge facility equivalent to that in Augusta Under this program, $550,000 has been allocated to build two barge berths, a transit shed, rail trackage, and mobile cranes, fork lifts, and other equipment.
This facility when complete, will give Georgia three inland barge plrts, more than any other southern state, and it will make most of Georgia accessible by water, a tremendous weapon in the battle for new industry
BAINBRIDGE, GEORGIA
This port, the oldest in the system, has had a new outdoor storage pad built for bulk commodities and new equipment has been added as needed to handle the 52,736 tons of cargo which passed through these facilities during fiscal 1961.
GROWTH STATISTICS
Since 1959, general cargo and bulk cargo tonnages and the number of ships calling at our terminals has consistently grown larger.
At Garden City Terminals in ~avannah, dry cargo increased from 399,270 tons to 565,675 tons while liquid cargo increased ffom 396,011 tons to 415,162 tons. During this pert6d, the number of vessels using these terminals increased from 431 to 5663.
At Ocean Terminals, dry cargo increased from 87,398 tons in 1959 to 207,992 tons in 1961 and the number of vessels increased from 141 to 323 during the same period. No liquid cargo is handled at this terminal.
Thus, through our Savannah facilities evae 1,000,000 tons of cargo were handled by 826 vessels in 1961. This averages over two ships per day for the entire year using our facilities it". S~vannah
During the first eleven months of fiscal 1961, Brunswick recorded 23,030 tons of general cargo and serviced 31 vessels, a performance already greatly exceeded during the first half of fiscal 1962.
FINANCIAL SUCCESS
As a result of efficient staff operation, the Port Autherity has operated at a. profit each year for 1959, 1960, and again in 1961. Dificit appropriations are the rule in ports operation in most states and its gratifying to note that port operation has not only meant millions of dollars to Georgia manufacturers and consumers, but the investment of the tax dollar by the state has resulted in dividends to be used for further imporvement and exp-3.nsion of port services and facilities.

Page 4 - Georgia Ports Progress
Part of the profitable operation of the Ports Authority derives from incomes received from seven new facilities which have located onn Ports property, as part of an ambitious industrial development program~ Included among these facilities are:
two facilities for the Shell Oil Corporation - one for handling asphalt and one for gasoline and fuel oil;
one f~cility built for a companion industry engaged in mixing and blending of asphalt and cutback;
a facility was built under a contract for the American Cyanamid
Corporation for storage mm ef molten sulphur with a capacity
of 60,000 tons per year;
a facility is now under construction which will handle fats and oils, both imported and exported. Chief among these are tallow, lard, edible and inedible oils;
a facility was established at Garden City Terminal specializing in export packing of a wide range of commodities;
a facility for the Columbia Southern Chemical Corporation for handling benzene hexachloride at Bainbridge.
PROORESS IN OfHER AREAS
Many steps were taken during the past three years to improve and expand the ports authority operation.
To ensure future expanjion of the Garden City Terminals and to make it possible for port oriented industry to settle adjacent to our facilities should the opportunity arise, the 388-acre Whitehall Plantation in Savannah was purchased in 1959 at a cost of some $1,000,000.
A careful study of the pure hasing practices of the Ports Authority was made by experts and this department reorganized and improved for efficient operation.
The security forces of the Authority properties were reorganized to provide adequate protection for property as well as goods in transit.
The maintenance and repair shops were reorganized and consolidated to provide savings and efficient operation.
In 1959, we had no full-time trade solicitation office except in Atlanta. Now, we have a fulltiine solic6tor for Georgia and offices in Chicago, New York, Savannah, and a representative in Europe. The forthcoming Trade Mission to Europe is being co-sponsored by the ports authority to tell the story of Georgia ports to European businessmen, and in May, the second ?overnor's Conference on Trade and Commerce will further the cause of our ports operation among Georgia businessmen.

Page 5 - Georgia Ports Progress
The Ports Authority magazine, Anchor Age, has been completely revitalized and you will soon receive a copy of it. This magazine will be used to heavily influence shippers, foreign freight forwarders, and others to use Georgia's ports.
Finally, one of the biggest assetsof our Ports authority is the awareness and support of port operations by the administration, the Legislature, the press, the business co11111Unity, and the general public. The Authority is supervising agrowing port complex that is destined to participate in Georgia's growth through world trade. The expansion years now being completed will prepare the ground for Georgia's reaping the maximum benefit from the years ahead.

Enclosure

The Penal System
Since January 1959, more improvements, in plant and management, have been made in the Georgia prison system than any comparable period in the history of the State.
This administration inherited a plant literally bursting at the bars. It was imperative that something be done at once.
The first step was to enlarge the main prison at Reidsville. Two new cell blocks, with a total of 500 additional cells, were authorized. One wing is almost completely finished and the second is well underway. This construction should eliminate crowded conditions at the Georgia State Prison for many years to come. Skilled inmates are building these additions at a saving of approximately $1,000,000 to the taxpayers of Georgia.
However, probably the most important step we have taken to relieve overcrowding and to accelerate our prison education program is the new industrial prison authorized for construction in Hart County. The site has been selected and the plans and specifications should be completed shortly. The State Board of Corrections is arranging shortly to turn these over to the State Penal and Rehabilitation Authority for bids, and it is hoped that a contract will be let in time for construction to get underway in March.
The Hart County prison with equipment will cost approximately $5,000,000.
We expect to have in this new prison various type industries that will manufacture articles for use only by the state and its political subdivisions. In other words, we do not expect to become competitors of private enterprise.
The more important feature of the new prison will be the expansion of vocational training under more ideal conditions in the moijt modern prison in America.
With regard to education in the prison system, we have done more since 1959 than in any prior decade.
A Welfare and Education Division had been authorized for the Board of Corrections. However, nothing had ever been done about it until recently when r. was activated and funds allocated for it.
Of course, we have had in the Georgia prison system for many years on the job vocational training which has enabled thousands of inmates to learn new trades or to perfect themselves in the occupation followed upon entering this system.

Page TWO
Now we propose to expand this program into fields never attempted before. We hope to provide in the new prison in Hart County facilities for teaching unusual vocations for which there is a demand in the labor market. We do not think too well of developing inmates for ' trades where there is a big surplus and thus reducing their oppor~unities for making a decent living upon their release. we feel that in the long run the inmate who knows a trade that is in demand will be less likely to return to prison.
However, we have embarked upon a program of spiritual rehabilitation since it would do society little good to release a skilled man whose attitudes were warped. In that connection, there is a chapel at the main prison and ten of the State Prison Branches, each of which has been built separate and apart from the prison, so that the inmates will have an opportunity to worship in the proper atmosphere. Each chapel has its own chaplain who works in cooperation with a Chief of Chaplains--an office that was created for the new Division of Welfare and Education.
While we are making great strides in rehabilitation and education of prisoners, we should not lose sight of the fact that the University of Georgia is still at Athens and not at Reidsville and that the education system is the responsibility of the State Board of Education and the State Board of Regents.
It might be beneficial at this point to emphasize that the State does not operate local jails, where juveniles are reportedly housed in large numbers. The only juvenile prisoners the State of Georgia has are those convicted of crimes and given prison sentences. These are segregated in a prison for juveniles known as the Georgia Industrial Institute located at Alto, in Habersham County.
One more word about prison education, the records show that out of e total of 2,713 felony prisoners in the recent fiscal year only 21 white males and 65 colored males had no schooling at all; but the tragedy is that 1,272 of the felony convicts had attended high school and 69 had attended college.
During the past fiscal year we had more white felony prisoners than colored--1,367 to 1,346. Of foe 1,367 white,felons, 736 h~d high schoot_or college training; of the 1,346 Negroes, 605 had high school or college training. There was not a single illiterate among the 89 female felons. TWenty of the 24 white females had completed the eighth grade, 14 had gone to high school and two attended college. Forty-six of the 65 colored female felons had eighth-grade educations and 37 had high school or college training.
The maximum misdemeanor sentence is 12 months on the public works, so we do not have the misdemeanor prisoner long enough really to accomplish much toward rehabilitation. The Board of Gcrrections, in fact, is opposed to sending misdemeanors into the state penitentiary system and

page Three
Director Forrester in his annual report strongly urged legislation to do away with that practice.
At Alto work was started on a 15-room school building and gymnasium where we will have a complete academic education for every boy sentenced to prison. We are hoping to have this building completed with the use of inmate labor, at a cost of $150,000, in time for the fall term. Thus, any boy conmitted to that prison will be able to carry on his academic education without loss of credit. At Alto we have just started construction of a new church building. Built with our own labor, this new church will cost about $15,000.
We have made exceptional strides in the welfare of our prison population. In addition to the educational and spiritual program, we now have at Georgia State Prison the finest medical care facilities available in any state prison. This administration provided the funds for the establishment of a modern medical division staffed by four full-time physicians and surgeons and related technicians in a hospital within the prison walls.
Likewise, at Alto, we provided for the activation of a medical staff, with a full-time medical director who resides on the grounds.
Our printing plant at the Georgia State Prison was modernized with the purchase of $25,000 in new machinery. The Board of Corrections printed its annual report, with more than a hundred illustrations, seven being natural color photo reporductions, to emphasize the results of vocational training in the graphic arts at Reidsville.
The automobile license tag machinery at Reidsville likewise was modernized with the addition of a $25,000 tag stamping machine, which not only doubled capacity but practically eliminated the hazards of operation.
We have eonducted an all-out campaign to detect and to eliminate, through proper treatment at Battey State Hospital, all cases of tuberculosis within the penal system.
Every prisoner is given a thorough physical examination and we Jaave installed at Reidsville a complete X-ray laboratory where the new inmate is examined not only for tuberculosis but other diseases that may be detected in that manner.
The Georgia State Prison now is an all-male institution. All of the women prisoners, white and colored, have been removed from the main prison to quarters at Milledgeville, where they are engaged in a wide variety of occupations, principally concerned with the maintenance of the State Hospital there.

Page Four
The building at Reidsville formerly used by women prisoners now houses the drunks and misfits swept up from the streets of our cities, principally Atlanta, which furnishes 44 per cent of the state's misdemeanor prisoners and a third of its felonies. These prisoners are generally too old, too weak or too ill to perform any labor and they just clutter up a maximum security prison designed for the incarceration of dangerous felons.
Thus it becomes readily apparent that in thcee short years this administration, working in complete harmony with the Board of Corrections, has accomplished much in an area the ordinary citizen tends to ignore.
There are more than 10,000 families directly concerned with the inmates and I wish to assure every one of the many thousands with a loved one in our custody that we are making every effort possible to see to it that he or she is adequately housed, fed and clothed and rendered proper medical care when required; and that we are also vitally concerned with his spiritual and physical rehabilitation.
ADD PENAL SYSTEM SUMMATION.
All employees of the State Board of Corrections on July 1, 1961, were placed under the State Retirement and Social Security. This includes, but is not limited to, all the wardens of all state penal institutions and branches.

Honorable Ernest Vandiver Governor, State of Georgia State Capitol
Atlanta 3, Georgia
D=ar Governor Vandiver:
Below I am giving you a narrative account of the progress made at the Stone I-buntain Memorial Association Park during the year 1961.
Of course, we appreciate the fact that this progress has been possible by your generosity, first, in the grants you have given us to maintain our work camp and work personnel; second, in the recommendation you made to the General Assembly which the Assembly adopted which has provided us with
$350,000 a year for capital improvements.
During the year we have completed a large
dam which will impound a lake of 416 acres which was constructed at a cost of $254,ooo and is now fully paid for with funds
which your recommendation provided. In addition, we have built
two other lakes - one of 33 acres and one of 22 acres which have
now been completed and through the Game and Fish D=partment have been stocked with brim and will be stocked in the spring with bass. These lakes will be fertilized during the years ahead and we believe they will provide excellent fishing grounds for many thousands of Georgians.
During the year we have paved about five miles of road with permanent asphalt top, all of which has been paid for and, in addition, we have graded an additional three miles of road which will be paved in the early part of 1962. Across the big lake at two points we are now constructing some very beautiful bridges which will be completed in the early part of 1962 and the work on which has been paid for through the credit that was established by your recommendations to the General Assembly.

Honorable Ernest Vandiver

The Stone 1-buntain Scenic Railroad has laid 10,000 feet of track and we hope it will be in f'u.1.1 operation by May 1962. This was cbnstructed with private f'unds.
An air lift 2,800 feet in length which goes from the north side of the Mountain to the Mountaintop Facility is now being fabricated with private f'unds and will be in operation, we hope, by Ma.y 1962.
With the f'unds which were provided by your recommendation to the General Assembly, about January 1, 1962 we will let a contract for the construction of our Administration Building which will cost about $oq,CX'.X). At the same time we will complete the arrangements for the building of a Mountaintop Facility which will be a very beautif'ul building. From the top of this building an observer can look at some 15 to 20 counties. This building will cost approximately $500,000. Plans have been f'ully completed for both of these buildings. As soon as plans are completed a house half-way up the Mountain will be built at a cost of approximately $15,000.
With f'unds provided for on your recommendation to the General Assembly we are now providing for two verjr attractive concessions which will house an antique automobile eYJiibit and an animal-re.ma which in reality will be a zoo for children stocked with native animals, both dor,1estic and wild.
We have spent a considerable sum of money in landscaping projects. We have a covered bridge island of 17 acres in the middle of the lake which we have developed with some 10,000 or 15,000 plants and other landscape projects have been carried out so that in the spring of 1962 the Park will be very beautif'ul and attractive.
I am handing this letter to Colonel Charles T. White as directed and will make any changes he suggest or any additions he may desire.
Again thanking you for the great help and. interest you have given to the Association and the interest you have taken in the development, I am
Sincerely,
~~
Scott Candler Manager
