Cash disbursement figures are shown fully by agency in the Report of the State Auditor. Inasmuch as the Budget Bureau office was not established until July 1, 1962, the prior year budgetary data in this report is of necessity from agency records as supported by the Auditor's Report. Since the Budget Report is not primarily an accounting statement, expenditure figures are shown to the nearest dollar to simplify comparison. The Budget Report also contains a five-year Capital Outlay proposal as submitted by State Agencies. Because of limitations imposed on estimated revenue in the biennium, funds are recommended for only a few of the most critically needed projects, and these are carried in the General Budget under the appropriate Agency. Further detail is available in the budgetary documents of the Budget Bureau.

However, the Act of the General Assembly of December 5, 1799 provided for a Comptroller General and defined his duties and powers. This office as presently organized is specifically provided for in the Constitution of 1945 and in Georgia Laws (Chapter 40-14 and 40-15 of the Code of Georgia Annotated). The term of office of the Comptroller General is for four years. He is elected by the voters at the same general election at which the Governor and other executive officers are elected. Among the general duties of his office are the keeping of books on all taxes, fees, and other funds which the Department of Revenue and all other departments and offices pay to and deposit with the State Treasurer, and the countersigning of all warrants issued to each department, board or commission., The duties of the Comptroller General were broadened by passage of the Georgia Industrial Loan Act on March 4, 1955. This Act designated the Comptroller General as the Georgia Industrial Loan Commissioner with all the powers and authorities provided for such commissioner. It is also his duty and authority to supervise and exercise regulatory powers over the making of loans of $2500 or less by small loan companies in the State of Georgia. 8 Additionally, the Comptroller General serves as Insurance Commissioner in carrying out the duties and responsibilities of the Insurance Department which was created by an Act of August 19, 1912 (Chapter 56-2 of the Code of Georgia Annotated). His duties were further increased by the enactment of subsequent legislation which required him, as Insurance Commissioner, to serve as Georgia Safety Fire Commissioner (Chapter 92A-7 of the Code of Georgia Annotated). Also, as Safety Fire Commissioner, he is required to enforce the provisions of the Liquified Petroleum Safety Act (Chapter 73-3 of the Code of Georgia Annotated).

The Employees' Retirement System also administers the Enabling Act passed by the General Assembly in 1951, which, with subsequent amendmenta, provides for the extension on a voluntary basis of Federal Social Security coverage to employees of political subdivisions of the State. Contributions for Social Security are received from each participating unit and are reported to the Social Security Administrator. The Board of Trustees consists of seven members who serve without compensation, but are reimbursed for expenses incurred while on official business of the System. The Board of Trustees has authority to employ an Executive Secretary, an Actuary, a medical board and all other necessary personnel. No funds by direct appropriation are required to administer the system.

Cases from Courts of Ordinary and Justices' Courts can be carried to the Superior Courts on appeal. The Judges and Solicitors General of the Superior Courts are elected by the voters of the respective Judicial Circuits at the same general elections at which members of the General Assembly are elected.

The Constitution requires that he must have been a citizen of the United States for ten years, shall have resided in Georgia for six years, and shall be at least twenty-five years of age when elected. It is the duty of the State Treasurer to receive and properly account for all money of the State coming into his possession. He is required to certify as to each payment made, showing by whom made, the amount, and for what account. He must make all disbursements which are to be made only upon a warrant of the Governor, chargeable against the proper appropriation made by the General Assembly. The Treasurer is forbidden by law to pay out any money except upon appropriations duly made by the General Assembly. The law, therefore, governs all payments made. The State Treasurer is under bond for the faithful performance of his duties. He is Ex- Officio Bond Commissioner and as such is the custodian of all bond deposits required to be made by insurance companies, state depo sitory banks, and others required to deposit collateral bonds, All insur- ance companies doing business in the State are required to deposit collateral bonds for the protection of their policyholders in Georgia, the amount of the bond varying according to the class or classes of business being written. All of the State' s money is kept in state depository banks. Each bank, before receiving a deposit, must qualify to serve in this capacity by placing with the State Treasurer a sufficient amount of collateral bonds to fully protect his deposits so that the State can lose no money by bank failures. The recommended appropriation will provide for continuation of the present program. The office of State Treasurer is the budget unit for which the following appropriations are recommended: 1963-64 1964-65 $122,500 $122,500 40 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICE ACTUAL 1960-61 ACTUAL 1961-62 ESTIMATED 1962-63 AVAILABLE: Unobligated Balance Brought Forward State Appropriation Agency Funds: Federal Grants TOTAL EXPENDITURES BY OBJECT: Personal Services Operating Expenses TOTAL STATE APPROPRIATION 5, 956 708, 125 32,027 746, 108 587,375 154, 049 741,424 708, 125 4,684 774, 692 29,788 809,164 621, 223 187,941 809,164 774,692 790;000 21, 7 37 811,737 670,312 141,425 811,737 790,000 AGENCY REQUEST 1963-64 1964-65 GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION 1963-64 1964-65 815,000 20,900 835,900 690,909 144,991 835,900 815,000 840,000 15,675 855,675 707,548 148, 127 855,675 840, 000 800,000 20,000 820,000 677,000 143,000 820,000 800,00 800,000 15,675 815,675 677,000 138,675 815,675 800,000 The Department of Veterans Service was created by an Act of the General Assembly in 1945 (Section 78-401 of the Code of Georgia Annotated), with a seven member constitutional board. The primary function o this agency is to assist veterans, widows, and dependents in the preparation and filing of claims for all benefits authorized by local, state, and federal laws, and acquainting them with these benefits, legal rights and privileges. By an Act of the General Assembly approved March 17, 1960, the duties and responsibilities of the Confederate Pension and Records Division were transferred to this agency on December 31, 1960, and he processing of pensions to Confederate Widows is being accomplished without any increase in funds or personnel. The Department of Veterans Service is dedicated to the principle of assisting Georgia's 450, 000 veterans and their dependents in obtaining all benefits authorized by existing laws. The responsibility of serving this group will continue to increase as the age of our veteran population increases. The largest group, who are the World War II Veterans, totals 269, 000 and their average age is 43. There are 37, 000 World War I Veterans, whose average age is 67, and 116,000 Korean Veterans whose average age is 32. In addition, there are thousands of female and peacetime veterans. As the age of these veterans increases, the demands for services increase in such matters as compensation, pension, hospitalization, and insurance mattersD On January 1, 1962 the Veterans Administration closed all eight of its contact offices, leaving the responsibility of assisting the Veterans of Georgia to this department. During the calendar year 1960, Georgia Veterans and their dependents received in excess of $136 million in benefits largely through the efforts of this department. No new programs or goals can be anticipated at this time, as such programs are largely dependent upon amendments or new laws passed by our national Congress. The recommended appropriation will provide for continuation of the present programs. The Department of Veterans Service is the budget unit for which the following appropriations are recommended: 1963-64 1964-65 $800,000 $800,000 41 ACTUAL 1960-61 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICE CONFEDERATE PENSIONS ACTUAL 1961-62 ESTIMATED 1962-63 AGENCY REQUEST 1963-64 1964-65 GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION 1963-64 1964-65 AVAILABLE: Unobligated Balance Brought Forward State Appropriation TOTAL EXPENDITURES BY OBJECT: Personal Services Operating Expenses Pensions to Widows Fees to Ordinaries TOTAL STATE APPROPRIATION 11, 593 290,000 301,593 6,498 12, 325 215,470 364 234,657 290,000 186,639 186,639 186,305 334 186, 639 186,639 162, 290 162, 290 162,000 290 162,290 162,290 145,740 145,740 132, 500 132,500 145, 500 240 145,740 145,740 132,300 200 132, 500 132, 500 145,740 145,740 145,500 240 145,740 145,740 132, 500 132,500 132,300 200 132,500 132, 500 The Confederate Pension and Records Department was abolished by an Act of the General Assembly, approved March 17, 1960, and its functions, duties, powers and authority were transferred to the State Department of Veterans Service, effective December 31, 1960. Widows of Confederate Solders are paid at the rate of $110.00 per month, except those residing at the Confederate Soldier's Home who receive no pension but are paid $5. 00 per month for incidental expenses (Ga. LawsSection 78-216 of the Code of Georgia Annotated). Each County Ordinary is allowed a fee of $2. 00 per pensioner, per annum, for preparing all papers, proofs and payrolls and for securing, receiving, and paying out the Confederate pensions to the various pensioners in his respective county. The munber of Confederate Widows in Georgia is decreasing. As of December 1, 1962 there were only 120 as compared to 172 on January 1,1961. The administrative expense for handling the payments of the pensions is ineluded in the budget recommendations of the Department of Veterans Service. The recommended appropriation is for payment of pensions to widows and fees to County Ordinaries.

An Amendment to this Act, approved March 23, 1960 abolished the Veterans Home Commission and transferred its duties, powers and authorities to the Veterans Service Board. This amendment also provided that the State War Veterans Home facilities be placed under the control and administration of the Veterans Service Board. The Veterans Service Board is the designated agency of the State to receive Federal aid under Title 24, U. S. Code Annotated, Section 134 for operation of soldiers' homes. All funds received by the Board are expended for the care and support of disabled war veterans. Federal aid to the State of Georgia for this purpose is limited to one-half of the cost of each Veteran's maintenance at the State Veterans' Home, up to a maximum of $2. 50 per day for each eligible veteran. The other half of the maintenance costs and the cost of salaries and administrative support are financed by State funds. The State War Veterans Home is located at the Milledgeville State Hospital. It is operated by personnel at the hospital through a contractual agreement between the Veterans Service Board and the State Department of Public Health. Current operating costs per patient per day at the home is $4. 90~ of which one-half is financed by Federal aid. The recommended appropriation will provide matching funds for the care and support of an estimated 270 bed patients.

The Board is composed of a Chairman and two Directors appointed by the Governor with the consent and approval of the Senate for terms of four years. The Board determines policy and is charged with the administration of all facets of the Workmen's Compensation Act. The Act and the Rules of the Board require from employers and insurers, treating physicians, and others, numerous and various reports on industrial accidents. Although a great majority of claims for compensation and medical benefits are paid without dispute, these claims are supervised administratively by the Board and its personnel. The Board, through its Deputy Directors, hears and adjudicates all disputed claims. Hearings are conducted under the rules of evidence that pertain to trials in the superior courts of the State. The Chairman and two Directors of the Board sit as a review body on appeals from the awards of the Deputy Directors. They also supervise and are the regulatory body of agreements, attorneys fees, and medical fees. Insurance companies writing workmen's compensation coverage and employers acting as self-insurers must be approved by the Board. The Board collects assessments from employers electing to come under the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act and deposits such funds with the State Treasurer. The funds collected approximate the State funds appropriated to the Board for its operations.

The Commission is composed of five non-salaried members, three being owners of forest land and two being connected with the lumber industry, all appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. The primary goals of this Commission are to promote and aid forest farming and nursery work, planting, management and protection of forests, and marketing of farm products. The powers and duties of the Commission and its Director are as follows: to take all action appropriate to foster, improve and encourage reforestation; to engage in research and other projects for the ascertainment and promulgation of better forestry practices; to offer aid, assistance and technical advice to land owners relative to the preservation and culture of forests; to receive gifts or donations made to it and to extend the same under the terms of such gifts or donations; to conduct and direct fire prevention work and maintain equipment, personnel, and installations for the protection, prevention and combating thereof; and to cooperate and contract with other agencies and instrumentalities of government, both county and city, state and national, private persons or concerns for the advancement of the forests of the State. The following activities have been established to carry out the functions of the Commission: Administration, State Forests, Management, Nursery, and Fire Control. The Administration activity is composed of the Administrative unit and the Information and Education Unit. The State Forest Activity is a self-supporting unit requiring no State funds. The State forest area in Ware and Brantley Counties is composed of 35, 879 acres and serves as a public demonstration area for the prac- tical application of all types of good forestry practices in the coastal areas. It is also extensively used by the Commission as an in-service training area for personnel in forest management, utilization and fire control. Income in excess of expenditures is applied to the operation of the Nursery unit, since these are the two work units that produce products for sale. The Forest Management activity provides technical assistance to landowners and develops the landowners' forest resources so that they will realize the greatest financial returns possible through good forestry practices; provides services so as to develop the forest resources on the small water sheds in the State in order to realize the greatest benefits from soil and water conservation; and provides technical assistance in preventing and controlling outbreaks of insects and disease. The Nursery activity is engaged in the Commission's reforestation program of establishing tree crops on land which is in need of reforesting. Georgia has between seven and nine million acres of land that are denuded or occupied by undesirable or culled trees. The Fire Control program is designed and operated to provide for the prevention of forest fires through public awareness, and to hold forest fire damage at the lowest level possible. Because of limitations imposed by estimated revenue for the biennium it is recommended that appropriations be made at the level of operations in effect at the beginning of the year 1962-63.

It also has responsibility for the acquisition, establishment, control and management of hatcheries, sanctuaries, refuges, reservations and all other property used for such purposes by the State. 52 GAME AND FISH COMMISSION The activities of the Game and Fish Commission are as follows: a. License and Motorboat Registration. This program procures, distributes, and issues hunting and fishing licenses, registers motorboats, and receives and accounts for all monies collected in connection with the sale of such licenses. The primary goals are to operate an expanded program, and to conduct an enforcement and educational program on boating safety. The increased public participation in hunting, fishing, and boating activities generates demand for issuance of new licenses. b. Fish Management. This program serves the citizens and tourists of Georgia by producing adequate quantities of fish and providing better management for private ponds, reservoirs, and streams, and by establishing artificial fishing and oyster reefs along the Georgia coastal waters. Accomplishments during the past year included (1) propagation and distribution of approximately 6, 000,000 bream and 600,000 bass to Georgia pond owners and streams; (2) raising and stocking about 300,000 trout in 167 s t r e am s ; ( 3 ) hatching and stocking 20 million wall eye pi k e into several of Georgia's reservoirs; and (4) experimental propagation of channel catfish and chain pickr:el. The fish management program is attempting to revitalize the oyster industry in Georgia by establishing several oyster reefs for lease and use by commerical oyster fishermen. c. Game Man age men t. This program maintains and operate s the game bird hatchery at Fitzgerald; provides technical assistance to landowners on wildlife problems; and administers the commerical and private shooting preserve program. d. Information and Education. This program conducts the pub 1 i c relations activities of the Game and Fish Commission through various media, such as periodic publications, radio, audio-visual programs, and television and movie productions for educational purposes. In addition to the State-wide conservation-education program for grade school children, plans are to add a gun safety program for citizens of all ages. e. Law Enforcement. This program enforces State laws, rules and regulations relating to programs of the Game and Fish Commission. Through effective law enforcement, this program (1) protects not only the game we now have, but increases the number; (2) affords better and more controlled hunting and fishing; and (3) provides safe and pleasurable boating. It is the objective of the division to eventually place a qualified ranger in each of Georgia's 15 9 counties. f. Federal Aid to Fishery Management and Development (DingellJohnson Project). This Federal-State cooperative program supplies technical direction and operation of fishery management, research and development, coastal fisheries surveys , and recreational surveys. It is closely coordinated with the fish management program. 0 n e of its major projects is to develop the High Falls recreational area which includes a 600-acre lake and 100 acres of land in Monroe County. g. Federal Aid and Wildlife (Pitman-Robertson Project). This project conducts wildlife research; carries out adequate and appropriate development and maintenance necessary to provide public hunting; conducts a game restoration program; and provides technical information necessary for the Commission to administer the game management program. The project is accompli shed with financial participation through the Pitman-Robertson Federal Aid Act on a 75% Federal and 25% State participation.

It is responsible for operating and maintaining 36 State parks and six museums of historic, scenic, and recreational interest. These parks are operated for the purpose of furnishing recreational areas for the general public for picnicking, family camping, group camping, swimming, and related activities. Each park has been developed to provide basic sanitary, water, and lighting facilities, roads, trails, and structures for public convenience and use. In order to operate and maintain these parks, hold down vandalism and maintain order, a superintendent with appropriate help is maintained on a year-round basis at each park, with the exception of two small areas where a full-time superintendent cannot be justified. There are six museums, all of historical nature, completed or nearing completion, covering the periods from pre-historical or pre-Columbian days as exemplified by Kolomoki Mounds; the Revolutionary War days as reflected by the museum of Elijah Clark; the period of the removal of Indians from this section of the country, as i 11 u s t r ate d in the museum at Indian Springs; the period of the War between the States and shortly thereafter, as exemplified by the museums of the Jefferson Davis Park and the Alexander H. Stephens Park; and the museum of Georgian Veterans Memorial covering World Wars I and II, and the Korean conflict. Attendance at State parks has increased from 1, 750,000 in fiscal year 1951 to 3, 546,018 in fiscal year 1962.All parks are exceedingly crowded in the summer months, particularly on holidays and weekends, and with the increasing interest in recreation and family camping only 50% of the requests for summer vacation accommodations could be filled this year at the mountain region parks. At present, overnight facilities are available only at seven parks and these are generally fully reserved by tourists from early summer to late fall. The park system contains eight group camps which are fully utilized throughout the summer season by Boy Scouts, church groups, and other organizations. The recommended appropriation for the Department of Parks will provide for continued and improved operation of existing parks. The Department of Parks is the budget unit for which the following State appropriations are recommended: 1963-64 1964-65 $1,250,000 $1,250,000 57 SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION COMMITTEE AVAILABLE: State Appropriation TOTAL EXPENDITURES BY OBJECT: Personal Services Operating Expenses TOTAL STATE APPROPRIATION ACTUAL 1960-61 39,720 39,720 28,456 11, 264 39,720 39,720 ACTUAL 1961-62 153,760 153, 760 44,260 109,500 153,760 153,760 ESTIMATED 1962-63 AGENCY REQUEST 1963-64 1964-65 GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION 1963-64 1964-65 300,000 300,000 38,800 261, 200 300,000 300,000 350,000 350,000 38,800 311,200 350, 000 350,000 450,000 450,000 38,800 411,200 450,000 450,000 200,000 200,000 38,800 161, 200 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 38, 800 161, 200 200,000 200, 000 The Soil and Water Conservation Districts Law was pas sed by the Georgia General Assembly on March 26, 1937 and was amended at subsequent sessions of the General Assembly, Under this law and its amendments the State Soil and Conservation Committee and Georgia's twenty-seven Soil and Water Conservation Districts have been established as an agency of the State of Georgia, The primary goal of the State Soil and Water Conservation Committee and Soil and Water Conservation Districts is to plan, promote and direct a program for the conservation and wise use of soil, water, forest and wildlife on the farms of Georgia. This program is accomplished by: ( 1) an agreement, by each district, with the Soil Conservation Service of the U, s. Department of Agriculture to furnish technicians in every county to assist the farmers and landowners in developing a conservation plan on the farms of our State; (2) planning for the cooperation and coordination of all other agencies, local, Federal and State in promoting and assisting with the conservation of soil. water, forest and wildlife; (3) providing educational materials and equipment that will inform the people of Georgia regarding their obligation to protect and conserve soil, water, forest and wildlife; (4) coop- erating with the Soil Conservation Service of the U. s. Department of Agriculture in carrying out the provisions of the "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Laws 566); and (5) encouraging research in soil, water, forest and wildlife conservation. There is a great need in Georgia today for the conservation of its natural resources, especially soil, water, forest and wildlife. Almost half of the farms have not had a conservation plan developed, The Georgia Conservation Needs Inventory shows that of 35 million acres, included in the inventory, 26-1 I 2 million acres still need conservation treatment, Of the 297 small watersheds in Georgia, which need flood prevention and conservation treatment, 121 applications for assistance have been received and only 23 have been approved for operation, The recommended appropriation will provide for (1) operation of the 27 Soil and Water Conservation Districts and the Soil and Water Conservatim Committee, and (2) reimbursement to the Soil Conservation Service of the U, S. Department of Agriculture for the service of one watershed planning party to develop the flood prevention and conservation plan for the small watershed program in Georgia. For every dollar spent by the State on the small watershed program, approximately $20 is received in return through Federal grants and additional income to farmers. Because of limitations imposed by estimated revenues for the biennium, it is recommended that appropriations be made at the level of operations in effect at the beginning of the year 1962-63.

The primary duty of the Board, in its transaction of the business of the penal system, is to maintain a program of wise, humane and intelligent prison administration which has for its underlying purposes the rehabilitation and reclamation of the prison inmates, and the operation of self-supporting correctional institutions. It promulgates rules and regulations governing the assignment, housing and feeding, treatment, hospitalization, discipline, training and rehabilitation of all prisoners under its custody. The Board of Corrections consists of five non-salaried members appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Senate, for five-year terms. The Board appoints a Director of Corrections, who is its administrative and executive officer. It is the duty of the Director to administer and enforce the Board's regulations. The Director appoints all personnel necessary for the operation of the correctional institutions, including assistants, technical experts, wardens and clerical workers. The Prison System consists of the main institution at Reidsville and 16 prison branches. The average daily inmate count for the past year was 4, 440 at a cost per inmate day of $1. 48. The Prison System operates 13 road maintenance branches, with 50 inmates assigned to each. These inmates are given work by the State Highway Department in maintaining roads, for which the Highway Department pays the Board of Corrections $3. 50 a day per man. The State Prison manufactures license plate tags primarily for the State Revenue Department. During the past year collections for the sale of all types of tags manufactured amounted to $303, 909. Revenue Collections from all sources of the Prison System for the year 1961-62 totalled $1' 369' 908. 90. The Prison System also operates a printing plant which is equipped to print forms, reports, and other material for use by State agencies. Additional plans for the Prison System include the construction of a new Industrial and Rehabilitation Center in Hart County. The work on this facility is expected to begin in 1963. The recommended appropriation will provide for a continuation of present programs, with additional funds provided in the biennium for vocational education and spiritual training of prisoners and for essential repairs to buildings and equipment. Additional funds are recommended in the second year of the biennium for construction of a hospital at the Reidsville prison and for equipping, staffing, and operating the new Industrial and Rehabilitation Center in Hart County. The following appropriations are recommended for the budget units of the Board of Corrections. 1963-64 1964-65 Administration Prison System $ 300,000 $3,380,000 $ 300,000 $3,530,000 63 ACTUAL 1960-61 BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES ACTUAL 1961-62 ESTIMATED 1962-63 AGENCY REQUEST 1963-64 1964-65 GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION 1963-64 1964-65 AVAILABLE: Unobligated Balance Brought Forward 10,108 State Appropriation 308,577 TOTAL 318, 685 EXPENDITURES BY OBJECT: Personal Services Operating Expenses 223,160 85,068 TOTAL STATE APPROPRIATION 308,228 308,577 10,457 426,454 436, 911 246,768 102,944 349,712 426,454 82,000 524,000 606,000 354,505 251,495 606,000 524,000 640,000 640,000 433,422 206,578 640,000 640,000 740,000 740,000 461,667 278, 333 740,000 740,000 585,000 585,000 400,000 185,000 585,000 585,000 635,000 635,000 440,000 195,000 635,000 635,000 The Board of Pardons and Paroles was made a constitutional body by the 1945 Constitution (Art. V, Sec. 1, Par. 11) after it had previously been created by the Act of February 5, 1943 (Section 77-501 of the Code of Georgia Annotated). The Board has exclusive power to grant reprieves, pardons and paroles, to commute penalties, to remove disabilities imposed by law, and to remit any part of a sentence after conviction, except in those cases in which the Governor has refused to suspend a death sentence. In all cases of pardon, parole or clemency a majority vote is controlling, but if capital punishment .is in any way involved, a unanimous vote is compulsory. The Board retains control and supervision over all parolees until the expiration of the n1aximum sentence originally imposed, or until pardoned by the Board. The Board of Pardons and Paroles consists of three members, all of whom including the Chairman, are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate for seven-year terms. The Board appoints its secretary and has authority to employ all necessary personnel. Vvbile the number of paroles issued by this Board has increased substantially in recent months, its percentage of revocations declined slightly to about 9 per cent during the past year. This means that parolees, during their parole period, are about 91 per cent successful, a percentage which year after year is better than other states in the nation. During the past yea.r the number of parolees under active supervision increased by 631, making a total of 2, 700 now under active supervision.

These scholarships are granted by the Board on the basis of need to those students who agree, upon completion of their medical education, to practice their profession in a rural community of a population of 5, 000 or less according to the 1950 census. The State Medical Education Board was created by an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Georgia. The 1951 General Assembly enacted a law providing for the amendment to the Constitution wh1ch was ratified by the people of the State of Georgia in November 195Z. Under this amendment the Board is charged with the responsibility of receiving and acting upon all applications for loans or scholarships made by students who are bona fide citizens and residents of Georgia, who desire to become doctors of medicine, and who have been accepted for enrollment in accredited medical colleges within the United States. The loans or scholarships do not exceed $5, 000 to any one person and are paid in annual installments not exceeding $1, 500 per annum. The loans or scholarships may be repaid as follows: a. The full amount of the loan may be repaid to the State of Georgia in cash in full with 4 per cent interest. b. The student may repay the loan in services by practicing his profession at some place within the State of Georgia to be approved by the State Medical Education Board. One-fifth of the loan shall be credited to the student for each year of practicing his profession in the designated community. After the fifth full year of practice the student shall be relieved from further obligations under his contract. 73 As a result of the medical scholarship program, eighty-one doctors are practicing in rural areas. A few of these have already completed their contracts but are remaining in the areas in which they began practice. In addition to practicing physicians, there are 13Z scholarship recipients presently in medical college; twenty-one have graduated, completed internships, and are now serving residencies; twenty-two have graduated, completed internships, and are now completing compulsory military service; thirty-seven have graduated and are completing their internships; three deferred payment of their scholarships; and forty-five have elected to repay their scholarships in cash (among these are a few who withdrew from medical college). It is estimated that the Medical Scholarship Program will continue to provide from Z5 to 35 physicians annually for rural areas. No change in the medical scholarship program is contemplated in the next biennium, and no increase in the State appropriation is being requested. It was originally planned that the Board would grant twenty-five scholarships each year, but through economies in the administration the Board has granted more than twenty-five scholarships except for the first year. Forty-one new scholarships were granted for the 196Z-63 academic year.

The names and locations of the institutions are as follows: Georgia Training School for Boys, Milledgeville; Georgia Training School for Girls, Atlanta; Georgia Training Schools (Negro Boys and Girls), Augusta and Macon; Georgia Factory for the Blind, Bainbridge; and Confederate Soldiers Home, Atlanta. 88 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE INSTITUTIONS The Georgia Training School for Boys was created by an Act of the General Assembly in 1919 (Section 77-6 of the Code of Georgia Annotated), and the Georgia Training School for Girls was created in 1913 (Section 77-7 of the Code of Georgia Annotated). In 1961 the General Assembly passed an Act giving specific authorization to the State Department of Public Welfare to establish and operate divisions or branches ofthe Training School for Girls and the Training School for Boys for the purpose of providing improved facilities and methods of operation of these schoo~s; and more fully utilize them for the training, education, and improvement of their pupils. The State Training Schools are expected to receive promptly, upon commital by the courts, virtually all juveniles who go astray. They are attempting to meet the demands for admissions, and expectations of society, in rehabilitating and training these juveniles to take their places in society, instead of being and becoming continuous wards ofthe State. The budget recommendations for the training schools provide for the necessary broadening of academic and vocational instruction and medical care programs in order that they may more effectively combat juvenile delinquency. The Georgia Factory for the Blind was created by an Act of the General Assembly in 1937 (Section 99-8 of the Code of Georgia Annotated), but did not begin operation until 1949. The Factory furnishes those citizens of Georgia who are blind, or who have not more than ten percent vision, a means of supporting themselves. It works closely with the Vocational Rehabilitation Department and the Employment for the Blind, the latter paying a training subsidy for a limited period after employment. It manufactures supplies extensively used by the Federal Government, the various departments of the State, and its political subdivisions. The Confederate Soldiers Home is maintained for any widows of Confederate Veterans who are entitled by law to receive pensions from the State. At present there are only five widows being cared for at the home. The total cost of maintaining the home during the past year was $38, 451. The recommended appropriations provide for a continuation program of the above institutions.

The Department as presently constituted was approved by the Act of February 2, 1950, as subsequently amended (Title 95 of the Code of Georgia Annotated). These Acts provide that the Department shall consist of a Highway Board which is charged with the general duties, management and control of the Highway Department. The Department has exclusive jurisdiction and control over the construction and maintenance of the entire system of State Highways, roads, and bridges, except those operated by counties without State or Federal funds. It also has jurisdiction and control over all State and Federal funds appropriated for highway purposes. of $4.4 and $5.4 million, respectively, from the "minimum needs" budget submitted by the local engineers. The Department is now in the process of spending $100 million in a major effort to restore 7200 miles of State highways. d. Planning, Construction and Reconstruction of Roadways (48% of Appropriation) This activity receives a major portion of both the revenue and the effort of the Department, due primarily to the influence of Federal funds which are allocated for this purpose alone and which will not be available unless matched by State funds. The activities of the Department fall into four categories which in ascending order of their impact on appropriations are as follows: a. General Operations - (8% of Appropriation) This activity provides the necessary executive, managerial and administrative services not directly applicable to a specific construction or maintenance problem, such as: executive, technical and financial management on a state-wide level; functional management on a departmental level; purchase and management of all equipment; purchase of warehouse stock; and administration of Workmen's Compensation awards. The purpose and scope of this activity have changed little since the begining of the Department, with no changes contemplated. The planning function consists of a study of a proposed route to determine the present and potential volume of traffic; the present and potential cultural development of the area to be served; road needs; alternative locations for maximUITI usefulness, comparative benefits, relative costs, and availability of rights of way. It also obtains Federal Bureau of Roads approval and concurrence in the above determinations. The engineering function consists of public hearings to determine local views; final location, acquisition of rights of way, and geometric design of the roadway; preparation of bid proposals showing the items of work to be done, the materials needed and the specifications under which the job will be built; advertising for bids, public reception of bids, and public award of contracts; and obtaining Federal Bureau of Roads approval and concurrence in the above determinations .. b. Authority Rentals - (21% of Appropriation) This activity provides the bookkeeping account through which quarterly remittances are made to the Trustees for payment of interest coupons and retirement of bonds of the Rural Roads Authority, Georgia State Highway Authority, and State Office Building Authority. c. Maintenance and Betterments by State Personnel (23% of Appropriation) This activity includes the preservation and maintenance of the roads and bridges on the State Highway System; traffic services, such as land and edge striping and the fabrication and erection of traffic signs; operation of shops for repairs to state-owned equipment, a state-wide radio system, and a truck weighing unit which serves to prevent undue damage to the roads from overweight vehicles and to minimize the traffic hazards from oversize vehicles; and performance of betterments which cannot economically be done by contract, such as shoulder construction, soil or stone surfacing, leveling and resealing surfaces, and widening of existing pavements. While these functions are not eligible for Federal participation, they are vital to the safety of road users and to the preservation of an investment in the highway system in excess of a billion dollars. Recommendations for the biennium propose allocations of $18.7 and $19.4 million, respectively, to maintenance, which represents an annual maintenance cost of less than 2% of the total value. While this is a substantial increase over any previous year, it reflects an administrative reduction The construction activity consists of placing orders to the successful contractor to begin work; furnishing detailed engineering supervision as the work progresses by engineers assigned to the specific job; providing regular periodic inspections and final inspection and acceptance of the completed work by senior engineers from both the area and central construction headquarters; and obtaining Federal Bureau of Roads approval and concurrence in the above .. Even though there continues to exist an imbalance between the construction and maintenance effort, it is not felt that the construction effort should be curtailed, with a resulting loss of Federal participation. The Federal funds for each of the next two years will be $70 million. The State funds allocated to match the Federal funds will be $27.5 million. While no significant change is reflected in the recommended appropriation, present indications suggest increasing sums will be allocated by Congress for each of the next ten years beyond June 3 0, 1965. Appropriations are recommended for budget units of the Highway Depart- ment as follows: 1963-64 1964-65 General Operations Authority Rentals Maintenance and Betterments by State Personnel Planning and Construction $ 6, 711,599 $17,303,689 $18,781,011 $39,886,688 $ 5,976,506 $17.293,431 $19,433,090 $41,479,960 94 STATE AID TO COUNTIES AND MUNICIPALITIES FOR ROADS ACTUAL 1960-61 ACTUAL 1961-62 ESTIMATED 1962-63 AGENCY REQUEST 1963-64 1964-65 GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION 1963-64 1964-65 AVAILABLE: State Appropriation: Grants to Counties Under 1945 Fixed Distribution Under 1951 State Road Mileage Ratio Grants to Municipalities TOTAL EXPENDITURES BY OBJECT: Capital Outlay - Grants TOTAL 4,817,013.03 4, 817,013.03 4,500,000.00 4,500,000.00 4, 817,013.03 4, 500,000. 00 1,000,000.00 4, 817,013.03 4,817,013.03 4, 500,000. 00 4,500,000.00 1' 000, 000. 00 1, 000, 000. 00 9,317,013.03 9, 317,013.03 10,317,013.03 10, 317.013. 03 10,317,013.03 4, 817,013.03 4,500,000.00 1, 000, 000. 00 4, 817,013, 03 4, 500, 000. 00 1, 000, 000. 00 10,317,013.03 10,317,013.03 9, 317,013.03 9,317,013.03 10, 317.013.03 10,317,013.03 10,317,013.03 9, 317,013.03 9, 317,013.03 10,317,013.03 10,317,013.03 10,317,013.03 10,317,013.03 10, 317,013.03 10,317,013.03 10,317,013.03 State-aid grants to Counties and Municipalities are made through the office of the State Treasurer. Funds for payments to counties are made available by State appropriation in accordance with a procedure established under the Act of 1945 (Section 92-1404 of the Code of Georgia Annotated), which provided fixed distribution of funds to the counties for the construction and maintenance of public roads, and the Act of 1951, making distribution of funds based on public road mileage ratio. Funds paid to each county for these purposes are shown in the annual reports of the State Auditor. An Act to provide grants to certain incorporated municipalities of the State for the purpose of aiding in the construction and maintenance of streets and in defraying the costs of providing personnel and equipment for the control of traffic, was passed during a special session of the 1962 General Assembly. To the extent that funds are made available by appropriation, the State Treasurer has authority to grant funds to the incorporated municipalities of the State which meet the conditions of the Act on a per capita basis with a minimum grant of 5/10,000 of the amount available. The following appropriations are recommended: Grants to Counties Grants to Municipalities 1963-64 1964-65 $9, 317.013. 03 $9,317,013.03 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 95 PROPOSED INTERSTATE PROJECTS FOR BUDGET 2 FISCAL YEARS JULY I, 1963 TO JUNE 30, 1965 TENNESSEE NORTH CAROLINA STATE GEORGIA STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT Of GEORGIA IIVISIGN If NIUUJ' HJMIIIC IS II'IITIIIIIF Clllfltl IIIIU IF "lliC IIIII 1962 ....... .... _,,. ,.~ ,.,..,." - ... - "'""""o"'.. d<'~een Courthouse and us 441 Baldwin. 3.38 400,000 F-004-l F-107-l SR 22 From Crawford Co. line easterly. us so us 80 From above project east to SR ll in Ul.e-loc.)
