The following resolution of the House was read and adopted:
By Messrs. Russell of Barrow and Grayson of Chatham-
House Resolution No. 1. A resolution that the Clerk of the House be instructed to inform the Senate that the House of Representatives has convened in extraordinary session and is now ready for the transaction of business.

The following proclamation calling the General Assembly in extraordinary session was read:
WlteretU, the revenues of the State have been insufficient to meet the appropriations made by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia at their regular session in 1927, for the years 1928 and 1929, for the common schools, for the higher education, for the eleemosynary institutions, for the Confederate Pensions, and for all other appropriations, and though additional measures were adopted at the regular session in 1929, these have not raised sufficient revenue to pay the appropriations made for any and all purposes for the year 1930, and to pay the appropriations unpaid in 1928 and 1929; and
WkerctU, the revenues of the State have only been sufficientin the year 1930 to pay 85% ofthe appropriations made for the year 1930; and
Wkcreas, the common schools, the University system, the eleemosynary institutions and all other institutions of the State relying on these appropriations have been extended credit by commercial and banking institutions at a high rate of interest to pay the maintenance, necessary building operations and expansion, as has been provided by the Appropr:ation Acts, hereinbefore referred to; and
Wkerct~,s, in view of the lack of provision of revenue to pay the appropriations made by the General Assembly in 1927 and 1929, for the purpose of operating the various institutions of the State of Georgia, as above referred to,

6

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

many of the common schools have been compelled to close and thousands of children will be denied the privilege of an education, and the faithful teachers will be thrown out of employment; and
Wheret~s, the various institutions of the State are finding it increasingly difficult to finance themselves and will be compelled to reduce, materially, the services which they are rendering to the State; and
Wheret~s, the creditors of these institutions and of the schools who have advanced money, sold goods or supplies, or performed services have, in many instances, waited long and are now in real need ofthe money justly due them; and
Whereas, that the creditors of commercial institutions of all kinds doing business with the institutions are now expressing some doubt as to their ability to continue the supplies for the necessities of life, and the heating of the buildings for the comfort of the inmates, which contracts are made by the quarter; and
Whereas, that cash payment of all the money expended for building and expansion operation, and for the general maintenance and food supply of all kinds, would give a much lower price to the State of Georgia if prompt cash payment could be made; and
Whereas, if it is possible for these institutions to continue to operate, the maintenance cost, such as necessary food and clothing, would be secured at a much higher rate than would be on the cash basis, as above stated; and
Wlzereu, as the making of appropriations in excess of the revenue of the State has been due in large part to the want of an efficient budget system, carrying with it the authority and responsibility of the system when presented to the General Assembly, under which reliable information could be gathered, both of the needs and requirements of the various interests and institutions of the State, and of the

TuESDAY, jANUARY 6, 1931.

7

probable available revenues, and these revenues could be apportioned intelligently to the several interests; and
Whereas, a budget on this basis would place the responsibility on the Budget Commission and would leave no uncertainty as to the authority and responsibility; and
Whereas, further, the collection of the revenues of the State is now divided among various departments and agencies, and there is a lack of coordination among these departments resulting in inefficient collection, unnecessary expense and large waste, which can be eliminated by the creation of a State Tax Commission, and vesting in such commission the entire administration of the tax system; and
Whereas, experience has shown that many of the tax laws, particularly the income tax, the gross receipts tax, the cigar and cigarette tax, the tax on motor buses and motor trucks, and certain portions of the General Tax Act need revision and a better adjustment to conditions and needs; and
Whereas, the conditions above cited and the great need, due to financial stringency and lack of business activities, it is necessary to make some provisions in regard to this matter, which can only be done by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia and cannot be remedied by the Governor of the State; and
Whereas, since the General Assembly does not meet until the fourth Wednesday in June, 1931, it is desirable that some consideration and action be given to the matter at once; and
Whereas, there has arisen a condition as relates to the convicts of the State, leaving in the jails over one hundred who are to be turned in to the Prison Board; and
Whereas, a number of the counties will on the first day of January turn their convicts back to the State;and
Whereas, the appropriations heretofore made would not

8

JouR.NAL OF THE HousE,

be sufficient to provide quarters nor to care for these convicts; and
Wherefls, there is a question as to the authority vested in the Highway Board to handle said convicts on the Federal Aid roads; and
Whereas, on account of the conditions above presented, it is desired that some consideration should be given to this matter in the extraordinary session; and
Whe1eas, the General Assembly at its last session passed a number of Constitutional amendments and directed the publication of same in a given number of papers in each section of Georgia, without providing any revenue to pay for these publications; and
Whereas, the papers of the respective sections printed these notices of the Constitutional Amendments and have received no pay for same; and
Wheres, it is necessary to make some provision for the payment of these publications, it being necessary to pay for the notices as provided by the Acts of the Legislature of the Various Constitutional Amendments, and I suggest that sufficient revenue shall be secured and appropriated to pay for the publication in the respective papers of the State carrying the Constitutional Amendments; and
Whereas, there being not sufficient funds in the Contingent Fund to pay for said notices; and
Where.s, that Governor Nat E. Harris found it necessary, on account of appropriation deficiencies, to call an extra session; and
Whereas, that Governor Clifford Walker found deficiency of appropriation, making it necessary to call an extra session in order to provide revenue to pay these exces&ive appropriation& over the revenues; and
Whwes, in order that this recurrence may not continue

TuESDAY, jANUARY 6, 1931.

it is necessary to provide an Executive Budget and a Tax Commission, which will prevent to some degree this recurrence; and
Whereas, without any expense to the State of Georgia, we have secured a study by Harley L. Lutz, of New Jersey, on the matter of finances, and a study relating to administrative reorganization by Searles, Miller & Company, of New York. Each of these is expert, and a copy of their reports has been forwarded to each member of the General Assembly of the State of Georgia;
Now, Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me by Article V, Section I, Paragraph 13, of the Constitution of Georgia, I, Lamartine G. Hardman, Governor, do hereby convoke the General Assembly of the State in extraordinary session, to meet in their respective halls at the Capito; in Atlanta on the sixth day of January, A. D., 1931, at 10:00 o'clock, A. M., for the following purposes and objects, all of which are considered by the Executive of sufficient importance to make the necessity for such extraordinary session:
1. For the purpose of providing revenue for payment of all excessive unpaid appropriations made by the Legislature in 1927 and 1929;
2. To consider, in their discretion, the adoption of an Executive Budget System for a more thorough control of the finances of the State and the repeal of the existing budget acts;
3. To consider and to take appropriate action for the creation of a State Tax Commission, and to define the powers and the duties thereof, and to vest in the said commission the collection of the revenues of the State;
4. To consider the advisability of making some pro-visions for the care of the convicts who will be turned over to the Prison Commission, without any buildings provided for them or any work or service that can be rendered the

State, where they are turned back to the Prison Commission of the State;
5. To consider an appropriation for the purpose of paying for advertising of Constitutional Amendments as provided by Acts of the General Assembly in 1929, for which no provision was made;
6. To amend appropriation Act of 1929 relative to Confederate Veterans' pensions, to provide appropriation and revenue for the payment of Confederate Veterans so that the Appropriation Bill will conform to Pension Act of 1929.
7. To consider executive appointments subject to confirmation by the Senate.

The following amendment to the proclamation calling the General Assemb'y in extraordinary session was read:
PROCLAMATION Bv THE GovERNOR
Whereas, I, L. G. Hardman, Governor of Georgia, did on
the 23rd day of December, 1930, issue a proclamation convoking the General Assembly in extraordinary session, and it has since been deemed expedient to enlarge, clarify and amplify the purposes and objects of said call;

JOURNAL OF THE HousE,

MESSAGE TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA IN SPECIAL EXTRA SESSION

January 6, 1931.
MR. PRESIDENT, MR. SPEAKER, AND .MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL AssEMBLY:
The subject of an extraordinary session was considered and discussed by the public and through the press in May, 1930. However, in order that the expense of an extra session might be avoided, the Governor of this State reached the conclusion and made the following statement to the public: "In view of the unanimous decision of the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia in approving the income tax, on Wednesday, April 16, and the desire of the Governor to make further investigation into the act creating this tax, to determine the revenue that would likely be derived from this source in 1929, payable in 1930 and 1931; further, in order that we may ascertain whether it is possible for the educational interests and the operation of the eleemosynary institutions and other state interests to operate on an 85 per cent. basis paid out on a monthly percentage-the revenue coming into the state treasury having to be prorated on the basis of appropriation made in 1929; further, in V'iew of the fact that the Governor has now completed plans by which a survey can be made without any expense to the State of Georgia to study the state government and state finances by experts, the Governor of the State postpones for the present the extraordinary session which was to meet on May 1, 1930, at the Capitol in the City of Atlanta."
During the year 1930 the State, from its revenue, was able to exceed the 85 per cent. to be distributedon a pro rata basis for the year 1930, and reached the amount of 90 per cent., which was paid to the Department of Education and eleemosynary institutions. This is an encouraging condi-

TuESDAY, jANUARY 6, 1931.

17

tion, compared with the depression in business activities in the State of Georgia and in the Nation as a whole.
Now, in view of the fact that the State was not provided with sufficient revenue to meet the total amount of appropriation for 1930, and to make no payments on the excessive appropriations made for 1928 and for 1929; and in view of the serious conditions of the unfortunate at Milledgeville, Alto, Gracewood, Cave Springs, the cancer hospital, the blind at Macon, as well as the very urgent need of the common schools and the higher educational institutions, and in view of the further fact that the Governor had no authority to provide revenue for meeting these excessive and unpaid appropriations, which was necessary to meet the emergencies in the State of Georgia; and further that there were no other departments of state authorized to create revenue and to provide for the payment of the excessive unpaid appropriations; and further that delay would bring to the State criticism and great suffering at the institutions, especially at Milledgeville and Alto, the conclusion was reached that nothing else could be done except to convoke the General Assembly in extraordinary session to relieve the emergencies upon the State-and yet I would not have you believe that the State of Georgia is in a worse condition than other states and cities of this Union. Compared with other States I believe her condition is most encouraging, in spite of the emergency needs.
With this prelude, I wish to quote that "a public office is a public trust," and the responsibility is placed upon you as well as the Governor of this State to make provisions to meet these emergencies-and I have confidence and faith in the representatives of the respective counties and districts of this State to provide and meet the emergencies heretofore suggested.
Before bringing to you the methods or plans or measures or means from which the revenue may be secured without materially increasing the burden upon the taxpayers of Georgia, I wish to present to you how and for what purpose

18

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

some of the appropriations made by you in 1929 have been used, and the property that has been acquired by the State under your direction and under the authority heretofore given; also the purchase of property by the Highway Department in the City of Atlanta-the removal of their headquarters to the City causing a saving of $14,400.00 per annum, besides the convenience to the public, which cannot be estimated.
You appropriated for the years 1930 and 1931, $65,000.00 for the upkeep of public property, viz.: the Mansion and grounds and the Capitol and grounds; as well as the sum for the care of the cemetery for Confederate soldiers at Marietta, and other property that has been purchased under your direction and is now being utilized.
MANSION PROPERTY
The Mansion was purchased by a former Legislature at a cost of $74,000.00, to be paid for out of the revenue of the rental of the old Mansion property, the final payment of $308.98 being made on June 11, 1930, and the title held in escrow by Mr. J. N. McEachern, has been delivered to the Governor of the State and is recorded in Fulton County, as well as placed on record in the office of the Secretary of State. When the property was purchased and the deed placed in escrow, there was no plat accompanying it, and the Governor secured the service of a civil engineer and had a plat of the property made, which. has been placed on file in Fulton County. A copy also has been framed and placed in the Mansion. In this service it was discovered there was an error in the deed of 23-ft. on the southwest line, which was corrected in the plat and so recorded.
The heating plant of the Mansion was useless, due t0 the fact that the boiler had burst and could not be used when the Mansion was first occupied by the present Governor. You have today a Quiet-May Oil heating plant, which is fairly satisfactory. You have also improvements on the inside of your Mansion, in the way of repapering and replastering, plastering having fallen in two of the rooms.

TUESDAY, jANUARY 6, 1931.

19

Your grounds at the Mansion have been improved. They have been sodded and ever-greens put out-furnished by the various Congressmen from the State of Georgia; and the en tire Mansion property is now in first-class condition, so that the expense of upkeep of this property will be very small in the next few years.

CAPITOL
Under the appropriation of $250,000.00 made by the Legislature in 1929 for Capitol improvement and authorizing the purchase of the Jackson-Martin property, I submit the following: This property, facing 210 feet on Capitol Square and running back 373 feet, was purchased for $55,000.00, with a guaranteed title, which has been secured and recorded in the Clerk's office of Fulton County and in the office of the Secretary of State. This property is being used, partly for the State Military offices, partly for the Architect drawing plans for the public schools of the State of Georgia, partly for the Chemist of the Geological Department, and partly for the Tax Commission. The other part of the property is rented and a small revenue is coming into the State from that source, which is $90.00 per month.
The Capitol improvements, under contract, have been made, all of which have been within the appropriation made by the General Assembly. These improvements will provide ample room for the caring for of the departments which have heretofore been greatly crowded, thus making it possible to do much more efficient and satisfactory work. The Department of Chemistry, under the Department of Agriculture, is moved from the Capitol. This was an objectionable department, due to the odors of the fertilizers and the chemical agents, which damaged the interior of the building...and other improvements over the Capitol, which must be apparent to every representative; and I recommend that you appoint a committee to inspect the property purchased and the improvements made in your Capitol. Your Capitol grounds have been improved and sodded also.

20

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

During the year 1930 the State has come into possession of the Rhodes property, known as the Rhodes Memorial Building for the Department of Archives and History, which, under your appropriation, has been improved within the limit of your appropriation, and is now being used for the housing of the Department of Archives and History, leaving in the Library of the State Capitol the much needed room; and I recommend to you that an inspection also be made of this building, known as the Department of Archives and History.
These purchases and improvements have all been paid for under your appropriation made in 1929.
In the Capitol improvements there will be a rebate on insurance. Discarding the old wiring and rewiring, as well as the protection given by reason of the plastering over the old steel beams, has added much In the way of fireproofing; and the amount of rebate on insurance from all of the buildings is $1,750.00, due the State-$1,250.00 is the rebate on the improvements recently provided in the Capitol. The improvements will reduce the insurance 40 per cent. In 1927 it was $10,000.00 on a Million-Dollar basis. Today, on the same basis, it will be $5,844.00; and for a Million and a Half Dollars it will be $8,766.00. The basis, with the improvements and with the addition of the A. D. T. per hundred will be $14.61. Today, without any other additional improvements, it is 20c. By reason of these improvements, your Capitol is safe, as compared to the condition that existed before. You may have noted that a few days ago the North Dakota Capitol was burned, which was built in 1884, the same date that the Georgia Capitol was begun. There was a small fire in one of the rooms of your Capitol recently, but it was promptly extinguished and handled by your fire equipment inside the building at present, and with very little loss.
FINANCES
Under the appropriations made by the Legislature in 1929, the State of Georgia during the year 1930 has paid an

TUESDAY, jANUARY 6, 1931.

21

hundred per cent. for the following purposes: One hundred per cent. of the Sinking Fund, and the interest on the public debt; one hundred per cent. on the operation of the civil establishment of the State of Georgia; one hundred per cent. on Capitol improvements, and one hundred per cent. to the Confederate Veterans, as the law was interpreted by the Attorney-General, including the Ordinary fees and burial expenses; and ninety per cent. on all other appropriations, including maintenance, building and improvements. The excessive and unpaid appropriations made in 1927 for 1928 and 1929 are as follows: 1928, $2,706,945.92; 1929, $2,367,361.53, and for 1930, 12,102,067.88, making a total of $7,458,545.43 to January 1, 1931.
Now, it was for this purpose, in part, that the General Assembly was called in extra session. The details will be furnished you by the State Auditor as to the total amount of appropriations unpaid, and the total amount unpaid to each institution, both eleemosynary, penal and educational.
The serious problem which confronts you is the emergency need and how you will be able to provide the revenue to meet the unpaid appropriations. I submit for your consideration the additional sale of theW. & A. Warrants, which could begin only on the first day of January, 1936. I attach hereto the detailed basis on which these sales could be made, and the revenue that would come into the State by the same. Suffice it to say that if these warrants were sold on a basis of discount of 4U per cent., the State for ten years would receive practically only one-half the amount of warrants sold on a cash basis.
W. & A. WARRANTS
It is assumed that(a) The State can secure their money at 4U%. (b) The State will receive interest at the rate of 1.}1'% on their money. (c) The lessee will meet their obligation promptly. (d) The rentals will start January 1, 1936, and continue for a period of ten years.

JomufAL o:r THE HousE,

The value of an annuity of $540,000 a year running for a period of ten years has a discount value of $4,286,220.51 on January 1, 1936. The interest necessary to carry this amount for a period of five years is $964,399.60, less $43,397.85 (this amount is the interest the State will receive on their credit balance.) The present value of this annuity is the gross amount of $4,286,220.51 less $921,001.75, or a net amount of $3,365,218.71.
These calculations do not take into consideration any expenses whatsoever.

I wish to call your attention to the lease contract of the old Mansion which is $1,375,000.00, to be paid annually, terminating in 1972, which on a basis of 6 per cent., would bring to the State $431,260.77, which seems to be prohibitive. The details of the study of this sale are also attached hereto, neither of which plan meets with the approval of the Governor.

THE MANSION SITE LEASE The Mansion Site lease has a total value of $1,375,000.00, made up as follows:
1. Two years at $20,000.00__________________________ $ 40,000.00 2. Ten years at $25,000.00_______________________ _ 250,000.00 3. Ten years at $30,000.00_______ -------------------- 300,000.00 4.

TotaL ___________________ ----------------- ________ $1,375,000.00

This lease, if discounted, has a present worth of $431,260.77 on a 6% basis. If we discount the first four sections the lease will have a present value of $381,647.01. If
the first three items are discounted, the lease will have a present value of $310,161.44.

It would seem from the above that it could hardly pay the State to discount for any longer period than the twentytwo years, as the price is so prohibitive after we pass that point.

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

The next is the reduction in the exemption on the sales tax, bringing that exemption as low as $5,000.00, or $10,000.00 as suggested by Mr. Norman, the Tax Commissioner, which would furnish the State, as estimated, $500,000.00 of revenue, in addition to what she is now receiving from the sales tax, which would bring to the first quarter, $1,250,000.00.
I also suggest that a tax be placed on smoking tobacco, in connection with the cigar and cigarette tax; (By the enforcement of the law on cigars and cigarettes, there has been an increase for the year 1930 over 1929 of $230,971.77); also on the luxuries, as will be provided in a detail presented to you by the Ways and Means Committee. The lack of enforcement of law requiring the payment to the State of our taxes gives us in delinquent and unpaid taxes $30,000.00 (delinquent) and $80,000.00 (unpaid taxes). I suggest that this be remedied by creating a Tax Commission, which measure will also be presented to this body.
I suggest further that in case you find no other immediate source from which you can supply to the State, without further additional taxes, that one-half of the tag tax, which sum is Four and One-Half Million, be utilized for meeting the emergencies of the eleemosynary institutions of the State. The United States Government has recently made available $2,077,000.00, which does not have to be matched and will not in any way cripple the road activities of the State, which could not have been done had not this sum of money been authorized by the United St?tes Government. This emergency fund from the road tax should be applied only to sale of the tag tax of the present year; and whatever remains unpaid of the appropriations by the Act of 1927 and 1929 to be gradually paid from other taxes that you may see fit to provide. The total sum to be derived from the sources suggested will be approximately Five Million Dollars.
It is the opinion and judgment of the Governor of this State that with these revenues properly handled and dis-

TuESDAY, jANUARY 6, 1931.

29

tributed, there will be added very little, if any, to the burden of the tax payers, since it comes from sales tax and luxury taxes, which is a matter entirely with the consumer as to whether he uses these luxuries or not.

Next, how can such a condition as now exists in the State

of Georgia be prevented again? In view of this statement

I recommend that an executive budget be created, with

the authority that will provide the handling of the income

and disburse.ment of the revenues of the State. Our present

Budget Commission and our Budget and Investigating

Commission, enacted in 1918 and 1922, are ineffective and

worthless, so far as handling the income and disbursement

on a budget basis of the State is concerned; and I recom-

mend that those two laws be repealed and that an executive

budget be enacted; and the measure is hereby presented

for your consideration.



The Budget Commission recommended in 1927 that your appropriations should not exceed $10,667,018.42 for 1928 and 310,813,518.42 for 1929, and in 1929 that it should not exceed $10,122,162.47 for 1930 and S10,272,762.47 for 1931, which had no influence and was not regarded seriously by the General Assembly of Georgia-their appropriation for each year, 1928, 1929 and 1930, being as follows: $12,330,438.85 (1928), $12,246,082.19 (1929), and $13,202,067.88, estimated, (1930).

Now, in order that our revenue from all sources may be properly coordinated and handled, I recommend that you create a Tax Commission. A bill is also offered for your consideration from that standpoint. With a proper Executive Budget regulation and with a proper collection of. the revenues of the State under a Tax Commission, there will be kept in balance any deficit in the future of the State if proper legislation is provided.

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

CONVICTS AND PROBLEMS

In response to a letter addressed to the Prison Commis-

sion of Georgia, requesting that some provisions be made for

the care of the convicts who will be turned over to the Prison

Commission, without any building provided for them or any

work or service that can be rendered the State, I quote as
follows: "Hon. L. G. Hardman, Governor, State Capitol,

Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Governor: Referring to

your request of recent date for certain data as to the penal

population of Georgia and for suggestion as to the kind of

work at which 'idle convicts at the State Farm could be em-

ployed and not interfere with free labor or the law pertain-

ing thereto,' and 'what can be manufactured for the use of

convicts and for uses at the State Sanitarium,' I respect-

fully submit the following: 1. There are now in the jails

of the counties lOt convicts the Prison Commission has

been unable to assign for the reason that all counties which

employ convict labor now have more than their quotas and

are not prepared to receive more. 2. The number of

counties not working convicts is 42. 3. The Prison Com-

mission has been notified by the authorities of 13 counties

that they will abandon the use of convicts on January 1st,

1931, and urging the removal of all State convicts by that

date. 4. The number of convicts awaiting transfer from

these counties is 343 felonies. 5. There are in the jails of

the State 101 convicts for which there are no accommoda-

tions at the State Farm, and the counties working convicts

will not receive them. 6 and 7. Section 18 of an act of

the General Assembly, approved September 19, 1908, says:

'The Commission rna y in connection with the farm work

use said convicts in such industrial enterprises as they may

deem advisable, and to this end inay employ the convicts

in manufacturing such implements and equipments or other

articles as may be needed for use on the State Farm or road,

bridge or other public works and in making shoes and cloth-

ing and other articles for the use of convicts and inmates of

other State institutions, but the Commission shall not sell

or offer for sale articles so manufactured to th'e public.'

TuESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1931.

31

This act greatly restricts the use of convicts in industrial work. They could, however, be employed in the manufacture, for State use only, of concrete pipe for highways, all kinds of signs for highways, furniture for various State institutions, shoes for inmates of the State Hospital for Insane, the State Prison Farm and the reformatories for boys and girls, and a small textile mill for the manufacture of cloth for uniforms and other uses in these institutions. Several states are manufacturing these articles with large saving in the expense of maintaining their convicts and with much benefit to prisoners so employed. Georgia could use 300 or 400 prisoners in labor of this kind. For two years motor vehicle tags have been manufactured at the State Prison Farm at a large profit to the State, and there is no reason why the articles above mentioned could not be produced with like result. 8. The per capita cost of the state of maintaining convicts at the State Farm is approximately 24.4c for men, and 23.7c for women, per day. 9. See paragraph 8. 10. Convicts now in jails and those that are to be returned by the counties to the State on January 1st would increase the number to be supported at the State Farm by 444 felonies. 11. There are now at the State Farm 742 convicts. 12. There are now at the State Farm 461 men. 13. The women at the State Farm now number 281. 14. The number of male convicts in the various county camps is 3,578 felons and 3,993 misdemeanors. 15. The number of women in these camps is 148 misdemeanor negro women. There are at the State Farm unable to work 228 men and 40 women. Trusting this gives you the information you desire, and assuring you of appreciation of your interest and cooperation in an effort to solve the problem of what shall be done with the excess of prisoners that now confronts this department and the
State, I am, Sincerely yours, E. L. Rainey, Chairman."
There are 70 men and 20 women, making a total of 90 in the tubercular hospital at the State Farm. Two years ago there were only 50 tubercular criminals in the hospital, but this number has increased to 70. The capacity has been

32

almost doubled, and the improvements inside the building and the grounds are very noticeable. From a number of these tubercular criminals I am having studied the finger prints of ten, to determine the relationship between finger prints, mentality and character; and, if possible to ascertain the strength of the mental and moral tendency toward crime, with a view of pardoning these diseased criminals if it is discovered by the study of the loops, angles and whorls that they are not primarily criminals, but that their physical condition is the main factor that has led them to commit crime.
I also addressed a letter to the Chairman of the Highway Board, whose reply is as follows: "December 19, 1930. Governor L. G. Hardman, State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga. My dear Sir: In response to your inquiry of the 17th inst., as to the attitude of the State Highway Board regarding the employment of convicts in highway construction, beg to advise that the Department has at present three camps located in Stewart, Murray and Union Counties. When I assumed the duties of this office little definite information was available as to the performance of these forces and no conclusion could be reached as to the value of such an organization to the Department. It was very evident from the information available at that time that the camps were being operated at a loss when compared with prevailing contract prices. With the view of improving conditions in these several camps and securing information of a tangible nature, the Board decided to place the three camps under the direction of a competent person, one acquainted with modern methods of construction and accounting. As a consequence, we have secured definite information extending over a period of five months, which information marked Exhibit A, I am pleased to submit herewith. Over the period of time indicated a profitable operation is shown in such case. This to my mind is not a conclusive test since the period of observation extended over a fractional part of year, when in reality it should include twelve months of the year in order that effect of

TUESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1931.

33

all weather conditions could be observed. Nevertheless, I am constrained to believe that if the forces are properly equipped and employed exclusively in grading operations, they could be used to advantage and at a profit in highway construction. As to the number of camps that could be employed, I am unable at this time to say. That would depend largely on the funds available for equipping and maintaining outfits. In order that you may form an opinion as to the cost of preparing each camp for operation, I am enclosing herewith an estimate marked Exhibit B as to the cost of the equipment required for one camp. The Board has been greatly concerned about the convict situation, realizing the difficulties under which the Prison Commission is laboring and has endeavored to ascertain our attitude in the premises. Our attorney has made a careful study of the existing laws and advises that the matter cf employing convicts is left to the discretion of the Board. A copy of the attorney's opinion marked Exhibit Cis enclosed for your consideration. In conclusion, I beg to report that the Board has reached no decision as to the course to be pursued in the matter. Awaiting your further command, I have the honor to be, Respectfully yours, State Highway Board of
Georgia, By J. W. Barnett, Chairman."

EXHIBIT C
"November 4th, 1930. Subject-Convicts-Legal 0pwwns.
"Hon. J. W. Barnett, Chairman, State Highway Board of Georgia, State Capitol, Atlanta, Georgia. Dear Captain Barnett: Pursuant to your request as to law on the use of convicts by the Prison Commission, and as to whether or not the State Highway Board is under any obligation to use convict labor, I beg to make the following report which embodies my understanding of the law. The Prison Commission was created by the Georgia Legislature in the year 1897. Under the Acts of 1903, page 65, all convicts, whether sentenced for felony or misdemeanor crimes, and all convict camps were placed under the direct supervision of the Prison Commission. Under the Acts of 1908, all male felony convicts were required to be apportioned among the several counties of the State according to population of such counties, said apportionment to be made annually and based upon the latest United States census. This law was subsequently changed, in the year 1916, to provide for the apportionment on the basis of the total number of miles in length of all public roads existing in the several counties respectively on January 1, 1916 (See Section 1207 of the Penal Code of Georgia). There could be no doubt about the fact that the management of the convicts was left entirely with the Prison Commission, and there is no duty on a county to use its convicts or to use any convicts unless it so elects. In Section 1207 of the Penal Code of the State of Georgia is to be found the following provision: 'The Prison Commission shall communicate with the county authorities of the State and ascertain those counties desiring to use convict labor upon their public roads and said counties shall, through their proper authorities, advise the Prison Commission, in writing, whether they desire to use such labor upon their roads, and the number desired.' It is my understanding that this law was passed in 1916. The same law applies to misdemeanor convicts with reference to

48

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

disposition by the Prison Commission, as applied to felony convicts (See Section 1216 of the Penal Code). Section 1209 of the Penal Code contains the following provision: 'The Prison Commission is hereby authorized, when in funds, to purchase road-working machinery, appliances, and teams, and to equip and organize road-working forces, the same to be used for the construction and repair of public roads, bridges, or other public works in the counties not using their convicts under the foregoing sections, when requested by the authorities of such counties so to do; the work to be done, as far as practicable, in proportion to the convicts which would have been assigned to each county in case the county had worked its convicts.' There is also a provision whereby the Prison Commission may hire its convicts to municipalities in case any convicts should be left on the hands of the Prison Commission, the price stated in the law being $100.00 per capita per annum (see Section 1211 of the Penal Code). From the above references, it is very clear that the whole duty for working convicts rests upon the Prison Commission and there is no duty upon any county to use its quota of convicts. Under Section 1217 of the Penal Code, it is provided that the net proceeds arising from the disposition of convicts to municipalities, or otherwise, shall be used by the Prison Commission either in working roads in counties which have no convicts or, in case the Prison Commission does not desire to work convicts in certain counties of that kind, then the duty is on the Prison Commission to pay the pro rata part of said net proceeds to the counties on the basis of their quota of convicts. In the year 1924, the Georgia Legislature passed the following law: 'ALLOTMENT OF CONVICTS BY PRISON COMMISSION. The said Highway Board is authorized to apply to the Prison Commission of Georgia for the quota of convicts that any county may be entitled to, which is not working its convicts on its public roads, the said convicts to be worked as far as possible in the Senatorial District in which the county is located for whose convicts request may be made by the State Highway Board, and it shall be the

TuESDAY, jANUARY 6, 1931.

49

duty of the Prison Commissioner to allot said convicts to the Highway Department for the purpose of constructing said public roads and to appoint such wardens, physicians and guards as may be necessary to carry out this purpose. Acts 1924, page 119. Michie's Code, 1926, Sec. 828 (24).' 'CONTRACTS OF COUNTIES WITH HIGHWAY BOARD FOR USE OF CONVICTS. Anv one or more counties may contract with the Highway Board to use their quota of convicts to which such counties may be entitled in the construction of any portion of the State-Aid Road System and the State Highway Board is hereby authorized to purchase such machinery and equipment as may be necessary for the purpose of equipping such road gangs as they rna y organize, and to pay the salaries of the wardens, physicians and guards as may be necessary to carry into effect the provisions of this Act. Acts 1924, page 119.' You will note that the above two sections are permissible only in so far as the State Highway Board is concerned. These facts certainly do not place any legal duty on the Highway Department to use these convicts unless they see fit to do so. This duty is placed on the Prison Commission of Georgia, and the law specifically designates ways in which convicts may be used by municipalities, by counties, or by the State Highway Board. Under Section 1214 of the Penal Code, the very broadest authority is given to the Prison Commission to organize and equip any industrial enterprise that they may deem advisable for manufacturing implements for use on the State Farm or on the roads of the State, or for making shoes or clothing for the inmates of State Institutions or convicts; but the provision is placed in this section that none of these articles shall be offered for sale to the public. I, therefore, beg to advise that it is my very decided opinion that the State_ Highway Board is under no legal duty to employ convict labor unless they see fit to do so. Very truly yours, State Highway Board of Georgia, By S. M. Mathews, Secretary-Counsel."
A conference is being had between the Prison Board and the Highway Board to see if it is possible to make some

50

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

definite arrangements in regard to the matter, the thought being to create two additional camps to those already provided by the Highway Board.
A request was also made of Mr. George A. Fisher, Superintendent of the Auto Tag Plant at the State Farm at Milledgeville, which plant was established two years ago, to ascertain, if possible, what line of work the convicts who would be in possession of the Prison Commission and held on the Farm could do, in keeping with the law, and at the same time serve the institution and save the expense of the upkeep of these convicts by the State, and also bring a profit. His reply, under date of December 27th, is as follows: "Hon. L. G. Hardman, Governor of Georgia, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir: At your request I am hereby respectfully submitting various suggestions in connection with the establishment of industrial plants at the Georgia State Prison Farm. These suggestions are based upon my twelve years' experience in installing and operating similar plants in various state penitentiaries throughout the United States. 1. Funds should be available and set aside sufficient to install and operate such plants as deemed advisable at the State Prison Farm in Milledgeville, Ga. One-half of this appropriation should be made available as soon as possible and the other half six months thereafter. 2. The automobile license tag plant now in operation at the Georgia State Prison Farm should be transferred from the Department of the Secretary of State to the new Industrial Department. 3. The Industrial Department should pay to the Prison Commission of Georgia a suitable sum per day for all convict labor used in the various plants. 4. The Prison Commission of Georgia is expected at all times to furnish the Industrial Department an adequate amount and suitable type of convicts so that the various plants may be operated to the best advantage. Industrial workers when trained in their duties shall so far as possible be kept permanently assigned to such and not transferred to other units of the prison system except when deemed advisable and is agreeable to both the prison officials and the Superintendent

51

of Industries. 5. The Industrial Department shall furnish all the material needed to remodel old buildings and erect new buildings for the purpose of housing the industrial plants contemplated. The labor for such construction work shall be furnished by the Prison Commission of Georgia free of charge. 6. That the various industrial plants shall be conducted strictly under the 'State Use' plan. Products are to be manufactured for use of the other departments and institutions of the State and that these departments and institutions shall be required to purchase same. 7. The Industrial Department should be allowed to use the revenue derived from its products to such an extent that it will be enabled to make itself and the Georgia State Prison System self-supporting. Respectfully . submitted, Geo. A. Fisher, Superintendent, Auto Tag Plant."
I shall submit to you a study of the various lines of work which it is possible for the convicts at Milledgeville to engage in-in keeping with the Georgia law, which it seems will save a considerable sum of money to the State of Georgia in such things as road signs, concrete culverts, shoe industry, textile industry, machine shops and furniture department, which can be operated with a saving to the State of approximately 15 to 40% on the various lines of activity. Detailed information of each of these is herewith attached and will be furnished to you during your study of a better handling of the convicts of the State. It is encouraging to note that your present Tag Plant is saving to the state $17,000.00 a year; and it is believed with the new tagssaving in metal and in the method in which they are required to be placed on the car, there will come to the State of Georgia an additional sum over what has been received of approximately $200,000.00 per year. I might mention in this connection that on account of the method of the request for tags, which has been gotten out by the Secretary of State, there will be saved the expense of something like 150 operatives for three months, which will be quite a saving to the State in the sale and distribution of these tags.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT TO MEETING OF EASTERN-SOUTHERN CONFERENCE ON STATE INSTITUTIONAL LABOR, DECEMBER
15, 1930, HELD AT SIR WALTER HOTEL, RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA
In approaching the subject of the expansion and realignment of industries, it is necessary to take into account, certain factors which are inherent in a prison and industrial system. It is well to have in mind the objective for which the prison system was created. It is obvious that the good of the community is the prime object. Its purpose is to retain those in custody who are a perpetual or continuing menace to their community. Its purpose also is to correct the man and woman whe> have been convicted of crime with the purpose of sending them back into the community with at least a fighting chance to earn an honest livelihood. In the endeavor to carry out these missions, the state official must always remember that it is his duty to keep down the expense to the already over-burdened tax-payer.
Administrative Control:
We have taken the subject, first, from the standpoint of business administration. Without a business control, it is impossible to effectively or economically administer the institutions. Control and responsibility are necessary if your institutional system, both in penal and charitable institutions, are to meet the purpose for which they were designated.
A study is under way which will give you the data on centralized control as it is now used in various states with notations as to advantages of each of the systems used. The National Committee on Prisons and Prison Labor has assembled the majority of this data. Its revision to date in compliance with recent laws and its success or nonsuccess is being studied. This material should be available for each of the states within a comparatively short period of time.

54

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

Classifications:
It is the belief of the officials of those states that have classified the prisoners on their admission to the institution, that large savings, both in human beings and in further expenditures of money, can be effected. In fact, this has proved to be true where this phase of prison management has been under way for sometime.
Types of Prisons:
It appears that there are five types of prisons, which are as follows:
(1) The Maximum Security Prison for the hardened offender, the defective, the drug addict, the chronic alcoholic, the repeater, and for those with long terms.
(2) The Minimum Security Prison for those who are mentally and physically sound or comparatively so, and who, in the opinion of the officials, the psychologists, and psychiatrists, are sufficiently trustworthy to be housed in this type of prison.
(3) There is also a middle institution where men can be housed securely at night and allowed to work out in the open during the day. This is known as the Medium Security Prison.
(4) The fourth type is a combination to be used in smaller states or where it is advisable to have a combined industrial and farm prison.
(5) Temporary barracks and road-camps.
A very large amount of material has been gathered and will be checked with the officials of various states where some formulated form of classification is now in evidence. This data will be supplied to you as it is definitized and verified to the point where it will be of actual use to you.
Prison Buildings:
A study was completed by the Architectural Record last spring in cooperation with the National Committee on

TUESDAY, jANUARY 6, 1931.

55

Prisons and Prison Labor. This study laid the foundation for the work that is being undertaken. The National Committee on Prisons and Prison Labor, and a number of people are working on this subject and a full report is promised by April which will give you suggestive data for prison construction at a minimum cost. This material should be of great value to your prison administrators and state consulting architects in the construction. of prison buildings.
Maintenance Industries:
A study is under way in regard to the maintenance industries or services which go to make up the conduct of the prison. Reliable data is being secured from a number of states with the purpose of making available to you better methods of conducting institutions at the minimum cost together with a tye-up of your work program. It is possible through such industries to give a large amount of valuable training to the prisoners in such industries or services without increased cost and in many institutions a marked saving.
These subjects have been brought to your attention, first as they are all a part of the plan to be developed in several states, since with the growth of the prison and industrial population, it is necessary that they be handled in a business-like way, and to meet the unusual and unnatural conditions which come from incarceration or residence in an institution. They merit your very careful consideration.
You have received a number of questionnaires. We know what a difficult task it is to answer the questionnaires and to get institutions to answer them. The fact that many of you have not been able to secure the information should illustrate to you or bring home to you the necessity for a greater control. Some of the questionnaires which have been asked for, may be difficult to answer, but it is our belief that they all tend to secure the basis on which we must work. The purpose has been to find out: (1) The institutional population which you might supply with goods.

56

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

(2) The commodities which were actually purchased by your State which might be manufactured in prisons and raised on prison farms. (3) The amount of available prison labor for which you must find work and which would be available for some phase of productive occupation.
From the questionnaire which you have been receiving, it is evident that in many states, that a large farm expansion is possible and advisable. It has been clearly demonstrated that there are large fields for work in such enterprises as reforestation, the improving, clearing and draining of public lands and in many cases, increased highway construction. These matters all take ingenuity, courage and perseverance, but in them is an excellent field for prison labor.
Centralized Purchase:
Those of you who have had the questionnaires in regard to the commodities which have been raised and produced, and who do not have a strong centralized purchasing department, will realize that you are paying all sorts of prices for commodities. One need only compare the table of one institution and another to find that the divergence in price is marked and unreasonable. When you were dealing with a few prisoners and a few people in your insane, epileptic and tubercular hospitals, the matter was not so serious, but with the great increase of institutional population, you can readily realize that a more business-like system will have to be adopted than the ones under which many of you are working.
The Eastern-Southern Conference on State Institutional Labor has the cooperation of a special committee cf the National Association of Governmental Purchasing Agents of which Mr. Walter Kirkman, of Maryland, is chairman. Mr. Kirkman has been at our previous meetings and would be with us today if it were not for the necessity of remaining in Baltimore to complete the budgets to be presented to the coming legislature. It is our belief that, with the rna-

TUESDAY, jANUARY 6, 1931.

57

terial available and to be gathered by Mr. Kirkman, we will be able to give you the results of the best experience in the country. We trust that you realize the magnitude of the task which is being undertaken by the Eastern-Southern Conference, the New England Conference and those other states which have signified their desire to join in this endeavor. We are all primarily interested in finding more work for prisoners. The office of the National Committee on Prisons and Prison Labor has in process of compilation lists of all kinds of goods which are used by institutions throughout the United States. This list is being broken down into shop functions and should be a guide to what sort of products may now or later be manufactured in our penal institutions.
This office knows today certain of the products which are used in large quantities. You have geographic and climatic and industrial conditions which enter into the decisions which you are to make for the kind of products you wish to produce and manufacture. If this gathering can at least formulate in rough the particular products which in your wisdom you believe can be manufactured to advantage in your state, you will be able to make rapid progress in finding out whether those industrial articles and farm products can be economically produced and disposed of.
Mapping of Industries for States and Localities:
In order to forecast adequately the kinds and amounts of manufactured produced goods, a questionnaire has been sent to the various states. Certain states have replied in whole or in part. Certain others have not made out these questionnaires. The office has been tabulating the returns and is making progress available. This is a very large job. The results obtained are of very considerable value. In addition to the value which this material will have for this conference is the bringing to light of certain things in regard to state purchasing which has been most interesting to the states making out the questionnaire. It has been in effect, taking stock of the situation. As we receive more of

58

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

these questionnaires, we will be able to better forecast what may be undertaken. This is in reality a finding of a probable and possible market for institutional manufactured and produced goods. We are dealing with large units, and if accurate results are to be obtained, we must have the data from the several states.
Standards:
For the benefit of the institutions who are purchasing goods from any source, standards are vital. If you are purchasing in large quanti ties and are ordering hospital beds of fifty different varieties, the price that you pay for each variety is high. If on the other hand your penal institution is manufacturing these beds, your productive schedule and your various industrial problems are of a most difficult solution. There is no reason why standards cannot be adopted covering the various lines of material you use and manufacture. Your office in cooperation with the Associates for Government Service, Inc., will undertake the development of standards as funds will permit. Proper standardization of goods is most important to your state as it is to all others. Again it should be realized that this is a vast undertaking and reports will be sent to you as soon as the datil necessary can be compiled in whole or in part.
Disposal of Goods:
A state in undertaking the manufacture of goods for consumption by state institutions must keep in mind that the goods produced must be disposed of. This is true whether or not there is a mandatory legislation compelling other institutions to buy, as a release is always necessary for goods which cannot be manufactured in penal institutions. The product manufactured must be of good quality and style; the price must be right and then someone must bring this to the attention of the buyer whether it is in your state or another. The Associates for Government Services, Inc., as you know, is a non-profit making organization. This organization should be developed to assist you in your sales

TuESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1931.

59

problems within your State and also for the selling to institutions in other states. This is a most important function and a necessary part of your industrial program.
Individual State Surveys:
This office is gathering data in regard to each of the states in the Eastern-Southern Conference. This data will form the foundation of a state survey which will be sent you for revision and correction as funds are available. A representative of the Eastern-Southern Conference should be sent to your State to amplify and complete such a survey. It is believed that the summation of the information contained will be of great value to you in the presentation of data to your legislature with possible plans as to what you can do under the given set of conditions presented in your state. This is one of the eventual aims of this office.
Legislation:
It is presumed that, if the facts are before you, you will desire to work out a plan for your own locality and introduce certain legislative measures to carry out such a program. Legislation enacted by the several states should be placed at your disposal in order that you may have the successful experience of others to assist you in making your own plans.
The purpose of this report is to cover the work which is under way and to indicate the plans for the future. A great task is before us and work will be carried out as rapidly as funds available will permit.

STATE OF GEORGIA SHOE INDUSTRY
Decem her 26, 1930.
The size of this industry depends entirely upon the possible market for the finished product, and inasmuch as we do not have sufficient information on which to base our suggestions and recommendations accurately, we are assuming that your requirements would be similar to those of other

60

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

States with approximately the same institutional population.

vVe would recommend equipment designed to produce the

nailed or McKay shoes, inasmuch as this would not re-

quire the complicated equipment necessary for the more

fancy shoes, such as Goodyear Welt, and similar types of

footwear.

The shoe industry would employ approximately sixty-

five (65) men, and would require a building approximately

40'x100' or equal floor space. The building should be well

lighted and ventilated, but otherwise the requirements for

this industry can be very satisfactorily obtained in any

present building.

The trade school value of the shoe industry has proven

to be very high, and at the same time the savings or profits

to be derived from the operation will amount to at least

twenty per cent. This makes the shoe industry of particular

value for institutional operation due to the fact that it

serves a twofold purpose, and that is, of giving vocational

training, and at the same time being self-supporting.

The approximate cost of installation of a complete shoe

factory would be in the neighborhood of fifteen thousand

dollars ($15,000.00), which price includes complete erection

and supervision, but does not include the cost of building.

Where the market for the finished product will keep the

plant busy the year around this original installation cost

can be absorbed in a short time from the profits derived

from the sales of the shoes to various institutions.

A shoe industry of the size and type that we suggest

would take care of the State's requirements to a large ex-

tent, and if it is found that more equipment is required in

order to manufacture a more elaborate shoe, this can very

readily be purchased and added to the original installation.

However, we have found it to be advisable to start this in-

dustry on a relatively small scale, and expand to meet the

exact requirements of the various departments with whom

this business will be carried on.

Respectfully submitted,

GR:PM.

STATE OF GEORGIA ROAD SIGN INDUSTRY
December 26, 1930.
The attached sheet covering equipment required for a mad sign department suggested for the Georgia State Prison Farm at Milledgeville describes the machines necessary in order to manufacture highway markers and similar signs. The Power Squaring Shear, and the small Punch Press now being used for the manufacture of automobile license plates can be used for mad signs as well, and therefore the mad sign department could be installed in the same building, or convenient to the present auto tag department, so as to utilize the above mentioned machines to advantage.
The_ equipment suggested for this department will produce approximately seven hundred and fifty (750) to one thousand (1,000) signs per day, depending upon the size of the markers, as small signs can be produced in larger quantities than the larger markers, due to the bulkiness and space required to bake the signs. The road sign department will employ approximately eight to ten men, and all of the equipment can be installed in a floor space approximately 25'x30'. The only requirements for the room or building in which this equipment would be installed are that a good substantial foundation should be had for the large press, together with sufficient head room for this machine, which would be approximately 15 feet.
This industry can be operated profitably in an institution, and the fact that so many States are now engaged in this work, as well as the fact that a great num her are seriously considering the installation of the necessary equipment, bears out the statement that the road sign department is a profitable installation. The institution can manufacture the signs and obtain a very good financial return, and at the same time the State is assured of receiving a first-class product due to the absolute control which they have over the raw materials which go into the finished signs. This assures them of receiving signs which will remain on the highway the maximum length of time before it is necessary

62

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

to take them in for refinishing. In this connection we feel the most important feature about the road sign industry is the fact that the State can refinish their own signs, saving the transportation charges to distant factories, and guaranteeing the use of only high-grade enamels for the coatmgs.
Finally, the road sign industry will give employment to inmates who otherwise would be idle, which, after all, is the prime factor to be considered when prison industries are contemplated. The manufacture of highway markers is a fascinating work for any young man, and the trade school value of the press operations, baking and coating operations should net be lost sight of.
Referring to the cost sheet attached, which was coJ:npiled by the officials of the Indiana State Prison, covering the manufacture of highway markers at that institution, will demonstrate the revenue to be derived from the operation of this department. The total cost of signs should be compared with the prices now being paid by the Highway Department, bearing in mind that the Indiana signs are manufactured from the very best materials obtainable. The cost sheet includes signs manufactured from galvannealed steel, as well as black steel, and in this connection we have found that the galvannealed steel signs are much more economical in the long run due to the rust-resisting qualities of the steel, which enables the signs to be refinished a number of times before they have reached their limit of usefulness. The cost of installing the necessary equipment for the manufacture of road signs at the Georgia State Prison Farm will be approximately fifteen thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars ($15,250.00). This price includes complete erection together with necessary supervision at the institution.
You will note that we have not included dies for the manufacture of road signs on the list of equipment. The cost of the dies will depend entirely upon the type of signs to be manufactured, and therefore it is difficult to quote accurate prices on this item. However, a number of the States have adopted the policy of classifying the die cost as material

cost, and charging this expense directly to the cost of producing the markers. A very complete set-up of dies can be purchased at a cost of approximately seven thousand dollars ($7,000.00) to eight thousand dollars ($8,000.00), and this would include the main border dies for the majority of standard Federal Route markers, together with a quantity of inserts and small directional markers, so that your plant would be equipped to produce a fair portion of the Highway Department's yearly requirements.
In addition to the highway markers there are a large number of steel stampings, such as steel school desk sides, metal serving trays, and other similar articles, which can be manufactured with this equipment. A careful investigation of the possible market within the State would reveal a large number of items which could be manufactured at a profit to the institution, and a saving to the department that purchased them.

STATE OF GEORGIA TEXTILE INDUSTRY
The Textile Industry would be the most profitable installation for Georgia due to the fact that the raw material is so readily available. This Department would employ approximately sixty (60) to seventy-five (75) men, when operated on a small scale which we would recommend as an initial installation, and would produce woven fabrics at a saving of at least fifteen per cent. to the State.
A small Textile Plant including a Weaving Department and Finishing Department would cost approximately forty thousand dollars ($40,000.00), and we estimate the floor space required to be about 40'x150'. The plant would include sufficient looms to take care of a variety of widths of cloth, and would be designed to weave sheeting, denim, muslin, and other similar cotton fabrics. We would not include slasher equipment with a small installation of this kind, but would recommend that the yarn be purchased, sized, and dyed from a reliable source. After the Textile Plant had been installed and in operation for a short time, so as to demonstrate the merits of this work, slasher equipment could be installed, so that the institution could size their yarns and effect a greater saving; in this manner. For your information a small slasher costs approximately twentyfive thousand ($25,000.00), and therefore, we do not recommend this large outlay of money for a new industry of this
SIZe.
We would suggest a small Weaving Plant, which would cost in the neighborhood of forty thousand dollars ($40,000.00), included erection and supervision at the institution, but not included the cost of building. The building size 40'x150' or building of equal floor space should have a good wood floor, and be well lighted and ventilated. The equipment is not so large but that it can be very readily installed on the second floor of a building, and therefore, no doubt, could be included in the building with some other industry on the ground floor.

TuESDAY, jANUARY 6, 1931.

67

An investigation of the purchases made by the various State Departments covering cotton fabrics would reveal the fact that a very large amount of money is spent annually for this type of material, and inasmuch as the yearly purchases will not vary a great deal the institution would have a uniform market for the product, and can operate the plant at a uniform production the year around.

STA.TE OF GEORGIA MACHINE SHOP DEPARTMENT
A Machine Shop and Repair Shop is a very essential Department for an Institution whether they have a large num-
ber of industries operating or not. It is especially essential
where a building program is under way, as there are always small repairs and new parts to be made up during the erection and construction work.
With this thought in mind we are recommending a small Machine Shop Department designed for repair work (general), as well as automotive repairs. The vocational value of this Department cannot be stressed too strongly, and at the same time the financial savings, or profits, to be derived will soon pay for the original cost of the equipment required. We would suggest a room or building approximately thirty feet by forty feet with a good concrete floor, and ample lighting facilities.
This Department could employ about ten men, and is very valuable from an educational standpoint, as it gives the men employed a splendid opportunity to learn a trade which is much in demand at the present time.
A small Machine Shop suitable for institutional installation would cost approximately eight thousand dollars ($8,000.00). There are quite a number of small machines

68

which could be included in this Department for tinsmith work, automotive repair work, general machine shop, welding department, and various other similar machines which will increase the usefulness and revenue of this industry.

STATE OF GEORGIA FURNITURE DEPARTMENT
December 26, 1930.
A number of State Institutions in various sections of the Country have installed equipment for furniture factories, and several States are now contemplating this type of installation. It seems to be the consensus of opinion that the trade school value of a furniture department is very great in comparison to other industries, and therefore the furniture industry meets with greatest favor among prison officials.
The type of furniture factory to be installed depends largely upon the kind of furniture to be manufactured, and the possible market for the finished product. Where a high grade product is desired, and same should be produced on a production basis, it is essential that modern equipment be installed. However, where this industry is to be operated on a smaller scale, and the furniture to be turned out will be relatively simple, it is not necessary to purchase highspeed production machinery.
Our recommendations in this direction are based on investigations which we have made in a number of State Inst~tutions throughout the Country where this industry is now being operated successfully. However, it would be our suggestion that a survey be made of the possible market for the finished product before definite action is taken on this industry, so as to determine more accurately what class of furniture will be most in demand by the various Departments who will purchase the finished product.

TuESDAY, jANUARY 6, 1931.

A small furniture factory designed especially for institutional operation, and included equipment for the manufacture of desks and tables, straight back chairs, and other similar articles, would cost approximately thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000.00). This includes all of the equipment necessary, together with kiln for curing the wood, completely erected at the institution, together with expert supervision. The building required would be approximately 40'x200' exclusive of the store house for unfinished lumber, and the drying kiln. The furniture plant woul~ employ approximately eighty (80) men, and judging from the experience of other institutions, we estimate that the product turned out can be manufactured at a saving, or profit, of approximately thirty per cent. The plant we have suggested is designed to produce a very high quality veneered desks and tables, and the equipment which would be included is especially suitable for institutional operation.

STATE OF GEORGIA CONCRETE CULVERT PIPE PLANT
The Concrete Culvert Pipe Industry is particularly well adapted for prison installation. The finished product is consumed by the Highway Department, which creates a ready market for the finished material, and simplifies the distribution problem. Concrete pipe can be made at a great saving with inmate labor, and by the use of a modern machine the State is assured of receiving a high quality product.
A large item in the cost of concrete culvert pipe is the freight cost when transporting pipe any great distance, and therefore a very large saving can be effected by having the plant located in the central part of the State, so that the pipe can be transported economically to the various road

70

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

building projects. Where the raw materials are readily available the Concrete Culvert Pipe Plant will pay for itself within a very short time, and at the same time enable the Highway Department to obtain a high quality concrete pipe at a very much lower figure than is possible on the open market. In addition to the savings to be accomplished the Highway Department would have absolute control over the raw materials entering into the manufacture of the pipe, which fact should not be lost sight of when contemplating this industry. It is very reasonable to expect an inferior product when the raw materials used do not come up tc standard, and therefore, it naturally follows that the Department can insure against a poor grade of concrete culvert pipe by keeping tabs on the raw materials purchased.

A complete concrete culvert pipe plant installed at the State Prison Farm at Milledgeville would cost approximately thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000.00). This figure does not include the cost of building required, but includes complete erection of the machinery at the Institution, together with expert supervision covering a period sufficient to thoroughly instruct the operators covering the proper methods to employ in running the plant. The building required for this industry is relatively inexpensive, and the floor space required should be approximately 20'x40'.

A number of other items can be manufactured in conjunction with this equipment, such as concrete posts for highways, which is oftentimes a large item where new road projects are under way.

CONCRETE CULVERT PIPE PLANT, STATE OF GEORGIA
The attached general catalogue covering the Martin Concrete Pipe Machine describes the process of making concrete culvert pipe, and also shows a number of cuts of the various operations of this equipment. All of the tabulations shown in this catalogue are based on outside labor which fact should be taken into consideration when comparing same with conditions existing in the Institution.
The attached ledger sheets are actual figures obtained from the Concrete Culvert Pipe Plant in operation at the State's Prison at Raleigh, North Carolina. At this point we want to bring to your attention the fact that these figures are based upon thicknesses and net length of pipe greater than is specified as a general rule, and therefore, the cost per yard as well as the cost per foot of pipe will be somewhat higher than would be the case if general wall thicknesses were used. This variation can be shown by comparing the ledger sheets with the tabulation showing the manufacturing cost on the outside market, as the weight per lineal foot of pipe is given in each case, and the resultant increase in cost per linear foot shown as well. If the customer does not require the extra wall thickness or extra length of joint the cost of the equipment is not much lower, but it is generally conceded that the wall thickness as used by the State of North Carolina is more satisfactory and will give results which justify the extra expense of the original pipe.
Again referring to the ledger sheets, the net profit from operation of this Industry in the State Prison at North Carolina was fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000.00) last year. As you will note this profit was obtained from the manufacture of only approximately sixty thousand (60,000) linear feet of pipe together with the sale of a small quantity of pipe on hand at the beginning of the year. Naturally this net profit would be increased by any production greater than that shown on the ledger sheets. In this connection also please note the average market price on which the sell-

74

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

ing price of the institution-made pipe was based. No doubt these prices are low in comparison to the prices being paid by the majority of the States. The profit of fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000.00) would pay for the equipment within a short period and if the Plant could be run at full capacity continuously this time would be decreased considerably as the average production possible on the machine is one thousand (1,000) linear feet a day on sizes from 18" to 30" in diameter.
Referring to the list of equipment to be furnished with this Plant, the item Ring Turning Device puts the finishing touches on the inside of the bell during the process of manufacture. Although some users of this machine do not employ this device, it is suggested generally that it insures a perfect joint, and therefore improves the product considerably.
The attached blueprint is a suggested lay-out of the machines which shows the very small space required and the relatively inexpensive structure necessary for this Industry. A foundation for the Concrete Pipe Machine and one for the Mixer will constitute all the foundation work necessary. Provision should also be made for storing the cement and attachments for the machines. With the exception of the above items no other building construction is necessary, as the lengths of pipe can be cured in the open, and for this purpose any relatively level yard space can be utilized.
For the curing process we employ rings or pilots on which the pipe is supported during the curing process. This means not only that level cement floor is not required for the stripping of this pipe, but that no loss due to falling bells will result, and most important of all, due to the length of the pilot being in the female end of the pipe during the spreading period, each pipe will be absolutely true in dimension. This means a great deal to the contractor in installing the pipe, as nothing is more disconcerting possibly, and generally unnecessary, than to have pipe delivered on the

job and set down in the ditches to be laid before it is discovered that the pipe is eliptical and out of round in some way.
There is one point that should not be lost sight of, and that is the uniform density of product from start to finish when using the equipment we propose to furnish. From the start of the joint to the finish of the joint the density of the pipe is absolutely uniform. This is due to the fact that the machine is equipped with the hydraulic lift, which permits the packer head, during the process of making the pipe, to be raised at a constant rate of speed while it is revolving at a constant rate of speed, the result is that the ends are as dense as the center.
On the fourth page of the North Carolina ledger sheets attached, giving average cost per linear foot for year ending June 30, 1930, the cost is shown for the old and the new. These headings refer to the old type of concrete pipe machine, and the new machine which was installed at the State's Prison last year. This machine being the same
type as we propose to install. It is interesting to note the
saving incurred by using a modern type of machine.
The equipment listed is for culvert pipe of wall thickness as indicated, and in net length of joints of four feet.

In reply to a communication addressed to the Department of Public Printing of the State of Georgia, I submit the following from Mr. Josephus Camp, Superintendent: "Total net amount due and unpaid for publication of Constitutional Amendments during September and October, 193G-S16,120.00.

In consideration of the publication of the Constitutional Amendments provided by the General Assembly in 1929, which General Assembly directed the Governor to publish these Constitutional Amendments in "one or more of the newspapers in each Congressional District for two months immediately preceding the next general election," for which Constitutional Amendments there was no appropriation made, only the usual appropriations made for the Contingent Fund, which was entirely inadequate to pay for the publication of the Constitutional Amendments, as provided by the General Assembly of 1929. Therefore, the Governor recommends that the Legislature provide revenue to pay the $16,120.00 due for these publications, as well as the $21,566.48 shown in the Public Printer's report.
CONFEDERATE PENSIONS:
I would like again to call attenticn to the Confederate Pension payment during the year 1930. According to the ruling by the Attorney-General of the State, which provides for $50.00 a quarter, this sum has beeP paid promptly each quarter; and in the 4th quarter it was paid early in the quarter, and the Confederate Veterans have received every

dollar for 1930, under the ruling as above stated. Further, the burial expenses and Ordinary fees have also been paid in full, thereby le<Jving nothing unpaid as relates to Confederate Pensions, in accordance with the ruling of the Attorney-General. At no other time in the history of Georgia has a more prompt payment been made to the Confederate Veterans. The following is a statement furnished the Governor by General Lawrence, Pension CommissiOner:

STATE SANITARIUM AT MILLEDGEVILLE
Perhaps one of the most urgent needs of the State today is caring for the unfortunate at the State Sanitarium at Milledgeville; and in response to a letter addressed to Dr. Swint, Superintendent of that institution, I herewith submit to you his report, and the conditions and needs:
"Milledgeville, Ga., 12-15-30-Governor L. G. Hardman, .'\tlanta, Ga.-Dear Governor Hardman: In compliance with your request of Saturday, will state that the present population of the Hospital is 5,360, composed as follows: White males, 1,553; White females, 1,938; Total whites, 3,488; Colored males, 837; Colored females, 1,035; Total

colored 1,872. The total patient capacity of the Hospital is about 4,000, and this is estimated on the basis of allowing 80 square feet of floor space per patient, viz., 40 5quare feet for sleeping and 40 square feet per patient for dayroom service. Therefore, this gives the Hospital an ove-rcrowding of about 900 patients actually on the wards. That is why we have to refuse admission to new <1pplicants. Up to December 1st, we have had to refuse admission to 459 applicants during the current year from January 1st.
"The new psychopathic hospital building, completed several months ago, has about enough equipment for us to open as soon as funds are available for its operation. This building has 48,100 square feet of floor space including basement that contains many treatment rooms. The building was completed and opened on February 18, 1929. It has a floor space of 62,580 square feet and 450 beds. The total balance due the Hospital on maintenance is $432,000.00, composed of $250,000.00 due on 1929 appropriation and $182,000.00 due on 1930 appropriation. Total balance due on 1927 and 1929 special appropriation for new buildings is $572,253.58 and $34,881.99 due on 1927 special appropriation fc.r waterworks, making a total of $607,135.57 due on special appropriations, or a grand total of $1,039,135.57 due on maintenance and special appropriations. I am enclosing financial statement sheet (attached) of the Steward that gives a detailed explanation. If there is additional information you would like to have, we will
gladly and promptly give it. Very sincerely, R. C. Swint,
Superintendent."
There are approximately 150 insane persons in the jails of the State at present.

STATE SANITORIUM AT ALTO

Another urgent need is the State Sanatorium at Alto. A letter was addressed to Dr. Haygood, Superintendent of this institution, whose report is herewith submitted: "His Excellency L. G. Hardman, Governor of Georgia, Atlanta, Ga., 12-17-30-The capacity and present case load of the sanatorium are set forth in the following table: .

The per patient-day is approximately $2.35. From previous and current years appropriations the State still owes the sanatorium balances as follows:

$123,458.05
"From the current special appropriations the sanatorium has not received $10,000.00 for the development of a central heating plant nor $20,000.00 for the building of a Nurses' Home. These appropriations fall short by 50% or more of the fund required for these projects. However, such facilities constitute grave needs of the institution. When we are financially able to increase our census to the capacity of the hospital, we will be faced with the problem of housing an additional number of nurses and attendants for which we now have no quarters for so doing. On our waiting list of applicants are many who are in urgent need of our service. At present, due to the large number, it is impossible for us

87

to admit adult whites in less than from six to eight months after applications are accepted. On our waiting list at this time there are 81 white men, 93 white women, 8 white children, 5 colored men, 9 colored women, but no colored children."
The Sanatorium at Alto, erected for the treatment and cure of tuberculosis and for distributing information over the State for the proper care of those affected with tuberculosis-and the prevertion of the spread of the disease to those who might come in contact with them, has to the amount of about 60 vacant beds; and there is on the waiting list 196. Many of these if they are unable to get proper treatment at an early date will advance to the stage where they would be incurable. The State has her investments in building, equipment, nurses and doctors to take care of these, with the addition of nurses home to care for the nurses who look after and serve the sick. Delay in the operation of this institution would mean the death of some of her citizens. This institution, the State Sanatorium at Alto, for treating tuberculosis, is a most valuable unit to the State, and a most valuable contribution for the treatment and cure of tuberculosis; and through this institution and organization, by the expenditure of a reasonable sum to her units to canvas the State for the discovery of the tubercular-by cooperation with the Health Departments of the Counties and the local doctors, we will be able to meet the need in the State at a much lower cost in the treatment of these tubercular cases than could possibly be done by erecting another building at Alto. With these additional units and the cooperation of County Boards of Health and local physicians-and cooperation with the Departments of Agriculture in the testing for tubercular animals over the State; and with a new hospital at Alto for the treatment of the early cases of tuberculosis in children, the State would in a few years be able to eliminate largely the tubercular infection of its various types, both the bovine and the human types. No greater work can be done, and on a more economic basis, than is thus proposed. There are but few

88

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

States that have a more modern equipped central plant for the treatment, cure and dissemination of information, than Georgia. A number of the states have plants or units to be operated for the discovery-with the cooperation of the County Board of Health and local physicians, but Georgia has the advantage of both a central and units, and has now started one unit for the discovery and location of the tubercular-and with the cooperation of local health authorities, there can be no greater service rendered the State than this. I therefore, recommend that the necessary funds be provided for utilizing the central plant at Alto and the other additional units as referred to above.
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
This department of the State was removed from across the street on Capitol Square into the State Capitol, where it now has the most modern-equipped laboratories, an increased capacity for the manufacture of the serums for the prevention of typhoid fever, diptheritic anti toxin, toxinanti toxin, and treatment for rabies; it furnishes the distribution of yeast for the prevention and treatment of pellagra; also the analyses of the water supplies of the respective sections of the State; and by reason of the new quarters that have been built for the laboratories, there has been an increase in the manufacture and distribution of typhoid vaccine of over 25%. With the manufacture and distribution of these serums, the time will be when typhoid and diphtheria will be, it seems, a thing of the past, which heretofore were two of the most horrible diseases attacking the human organism. The Administration Department has also splendid quarters and equipment. No State now has a better administrative or laboratory equipment than has Georgia. A most wonderful advancement has come to our citizens along this line in the last 20 years. In addition to these splendid quarters, which provides ample room for the filing of the registration of births and deaths, there will be sufficient room to supply all the needs along that line for ten years. The Secretary of the State Board

of Health also has supervision of the Administrative and Laboratory Departments, as well as the State Sanatorium at Alto and the institution for mental defectives at Gracewood. This latter institution is to be moved-there has already been purchased the Phinizy property near Augusta, a most valuable contribution for the handling of the mentally defective children of our State. This acquisition was completed in the year just passed, 1930.
The Department of Health cooperates with the Department of Education and the Department of Public Welfare (which has also been moved into very delightful new quarters), looking to a proper sanitary condition of the educational institutions, especially the common schools of Georgia, whose suggestions and helps are of material benefit to the children of our State attending our common schools. One of the financial advantages in moving the State Board of Health into the State Capitol is that it relieves that department of rental. It also relieves them of an insurance, which was formerly paid, before they moved into the State Capitol, on $12,000.00 of equipment, which is now cared for without any expense tG them.
We have in Georgia the Steiner Clinic for the treatment of cancer, for which the State appropriated $100,000.00 for the year 1929 to better equip for the treatment of a greater number of our citizens, and to provide for the State as a whole to have the advantage of the treatment of cancer at this Clinic; and in view of the great malignancy of all forms of cancer, it is of imperative need that the appropriation made in 1929 be made available as quickly as possible for the erection of a building and equipment to give an opportunity to the citizens to be relieved, or cured, of cancer, who are now dying over our State for the lack of early treatment.
It is also important that the Academy for the Blind at Macon, one of the most terrible afflictions coming to mankind, should have every consideration that it is possible for the State to give it..

90

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

The School for the Deaf at Cave Spring is in need of a hospital to care for their students and to better equip their plant. By reason of the lack of sufficient appropriation, they closed earlier in the year 1930 than heretofore.
In answer to a request of Dr. Bowdoin, Deputy CommisSIOner of the State Board of Health, I attach hereto his letter.
DR. BOWDOIN'S LETTER
"December 19, 1930. Hon. L. G. Hardman, Governor of Georgia, Atlanta, Georgia. Dear Governor Hardman: In compliance with my promise I am writing you about the results obtained in our State in the reduction of deaths of mothers and infants. As you recall, in 1924 the State Medical Association requested that the State Board of Health take charge of the midwife situation in our State, and to adopt such rules and regulations as thought best to bring about better control. This was done. That year we had 658 mothers to die in child bed. Through the Federal aid given we were enabled to put on twenty-seven nurses to work among our mothers, and the result has been most gratifying. In 1929 we lost only 549 mothers, and the first ten months of 1930 compared with the first ten months of 1929 show 72 fewer deaths of mothers. In 1924 only one state in the Union had more deaths from puerperal c~uses than Georgia; now there are four. The deaths in 1924 were 657; in 1929, 549, a saving of 108 mothers, and to this number may be added 72, making a total of 180 mothers. The effects .of health work and the application of scientific preventive medicine in the saving of babies' lives in Georgia are still more striking. You will recall that our death rate has always been high. This rate, of course, is influenced by our larger negn population, but the figures just released by the Census Bureau show that only five states in our Union showed reduction in the deaths of children last year, and Georgia was one of them. work among mothers for mothers and their babies is effective; money spent in this field yields the largest dividends. The investment for the

TuESDAY, jANUARY 6, 1931.

91

entire health work in Georgia is about four cents per capita. No Federal funds are available now, having been withdrawn over a year ago. We now have only four nurses. Will you pardon me, Governor Hardman, if I mention another result of preventive work among our people in 1918? In our insane asylum records an item shows that 15.8% of new admissions were due to brain syphilis. The Federal Government assisted the states by making an appropriation to fight the venereal diseases, with the result that in 1927 the new admissions giving positive Wassermanns had dropped to 9.5%, a saving in maintenance alone of about $18,000. Federal aid was withdrawn, and the last report shows an increase of syphilis in the cases admitted last year to 12.8% costing the tax payers of Georgia $33,515.76 to take care of them. There is no reason for brain syphilis with our knowledge of the disease, as it is only in the advanced stage of the disease that the brain is affected. If we had the funds to educate the people to seek early treatment, and when they were unable to pay for it, to furnish it free through cooperation with our medical societies, we could eliminate almost entirely this expense to our taxpayers, save the individual from illness and thereby preserve our manpower. You might also be interested to know that through the stimulus given the work by Federal appropriation in the war work the Wassermann Department of the State Board of Health was established, that in 1918 there were 789 Wassermanns, and last year 32,760. I hope that this data is what you requested me to furnish you. Yours very truly, Joe P. Bowdoin, M. D., Deputy Commisstoner of Health."

SUMMARY

DEFICITS-In the beginning of this Summary I wish to urge upon you the reading and st'.ldy of the Summary presented to the General Assembly in 1927, given below, as well as the Message of 1929. "I recommend that deficits should be discontinued or provisions made by which the State can legally create them.

REORGANIZATION OF BOARDS AND INSTITUTIONS-" I recommend a reorganization for economy and efficiency and a reduction in some of the departments, boards and institutions.
STATE GOVERNMENT AND STATE FINANCES"! recommend to you a study of our State government and State financing with an idea of reducing the expenses in State Government and if possible, increase the efficiency. There is a considerable demand in the State government for support as well as institutions, and I recommend a study of the tax question, and if possible make provisions for increasing revenues and new sources of revenue looking to the support, maintenance and improvement of the institutions of Georgia.

BANKING DEPARTMENT-"! recommend to you a thorough study of the Banking situation and that all taxes which support the Banking Department go through the State Treasury, and that they be paid out by appropriation and vouthers as other departments of the State. I further suggest that the expense of liquidating banks be reduced.

STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT-"Since this department consumes the largest sum of money that comes to the State of Georgia, and since good roads are most desirable and one of the greatest assets to the State, I recommend a reorganization of this Department for the purpose of reducing expenses and increasing efficiency and economy of this Department. (Which has been done.)

TUESDAY, jANUARY 6, 1931.

93

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE-"As the Department of Agriculture, as well as the Department of Roads is a matter that has been extensively discussed hefore the people of Georgia and they having expressed their views on the two Departments, I recommend a reorganization of the Department of Agriculture and that such changes in the Department as may appeal to your judgment as being best, be made and reductions in its operations be provided as in your judgment is wise.
SINKING FUND OR INSURANCE DEPARTMENT"Since it is desirable that the property of the State, as well as the property of the public institutions of the State, be safeguarded and protected by insurance, I recommend that a department or provision be made under some other department, looking to the safety and saving of insurance to the State of Georgia.
EDUCATION-"! have called your attention more or less in detail to the condition of our educational institutions and I recommend that a thorough study and sufficient appropriation be made to put them on a basis of service and efficiency. I recommend that we better equip these institutions for the service they are required to render the State.
HEALTH DEPARTMENT-"No subject that comes before you touches more directly every citizen of the State, than does the Health and Welfare Department, and I recommend to your consideration an investigation and the necessary investment to place this Department of your State on a basis that will provide better service in every element that it fosters. (This has been done.)
FORESTRY-"1 suggest to you the very great need of the Forestry Department and such provisions be m?de as will put that Department on a higher and better basis than it has heretofore enjoyed.
STATE CAPITOL-"! recommend to you an improvement of the conditions so as to better utilize the space now housed by the State Capitol.

94

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

MOTOR VEHICLE TAGS AND TAXES-"! recommend that the matter of motor vehicle tags and taxes be thoroughly considered in order that we may arrive at a more efficient and less expensive method of handling tags than we do today. (This has been done, saving the State $17,000.00 per annum.)
LAWS-"We cannot hope to maintain the highest state of our government unless we enforce our laws, and I call your attention and ask your helpful consideration of this Department."
MESSAGES OF 1927 AND 1929
I would also urge you to read the items en State Government 2nd State Finances, as presented on pages 4 and 5 of the Message of 1927; also the item on Deficits of this same Message. On page 14 of the Message of 1929 I would ask that you read the item of "Interest Paid on Borrowed Money."
INTEREST
The estimated total amount of interest paid, as presented bv the Auditor, including the discounts on W. & A. Warr~n ts, is S2, 196,539.33, based on reports from institutions and schools as of February 21, 1930.
ALLOCATION OF FUNDS AND REVENCE RECEIVED BY THE STATE TREASURY
There was allocated in 1928, $13,955,668.22; in 1929, S16,764,:105.11; in 1930, $20,264,025.57. This includes the S540,000.00 each year for the W. & A. Rental, making a total for the three. years of allocation, $50,984,098.90; and in the General Fund for the three years, 1928-29-30, S30,000,000.00, making <J total of $80,951,657.40. In the year 1930 on an estimate of $20,264,025.67, allocation, and S11,100,000.00 to the General Fund, you have received from all sources, revenue amounting to S31,346,801.00. So far as I am informed, the largest revenue ever received in one year into the State of Georgia for distribution.

TuESDAY, jANUARY 6, 1931.

95

ADEQUATE SUPPORT

It is the opinion of the Governor of Georgia that this

sum of money if properly administered and distributed,

according to the needs of the various interests of the State,

should take care of and furnish adequate support.

In addition to the above sum, under the reorganization

program as recommended by the Commission appointed by

the Governor-saving 5800,000.00 as estimated, vou would

receive $32,146,801.00 for distribution.



PLACING OF REVENUE IN STATE TREASURY
It seems to me the only method by which this could be
done is to place all the revenue in the State Treasury and have it properly distributed to all the interests of the State.

APPROPRIATIONS
There will be the sum appropriated which was appropriated in 1929 for the purchase of land and Capitol improvement, $250,000.00, and $20,000.00 which will be paid during the year 1931 from the lease of the old Mansion property; $1,750.00 for reimbursement on the fire insurance projects of the State, making a total of S271,750.00. There will also be available in 1931 the sum that has been used for the Mansion improvements. These amounts will be available to check from the Treasury for other purposes in the vear 1931.

COMMON SCHOOLS
According to the report of the State Treasurer, the common schools received in 1926, $4,934,189.65; in 1927, $5,438,313.67; in 1928, $4,708,633.47; in 1929, S5,387,290.66; in 1930, $6,853,320.73. The 1930 payment to the common schools was by far the largest in any one year. The percentage of increase paid to the common schools for the year 1930 is 27%.

PUBLIC ROADS
The largest sum that has ever been paid during one year to public roads was in 1930, the sum being $15,569,651.60,

96

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

a percentage of increase of 22%. The next largest sum paid out to any interest fostered by the State was to the common schools-$6,852,322. 73.

ALLOCATED FUNDS
The allocated funds in 1926 were $22,642,209.42; in 1927, $23,668,791.48; in 1928, $24,252,361.43; in 1929, $24,607,255.88; in 1930, $31,346,801.00, making the largest sum of allocated funds paid out in the history of the State.

PAYMENTS FOR ALL PURPOSES
The total payments to all purposes for the year 1926 was $26,406,211.10; in 1927, $27,008,211.48; in 1928, $26,849,853.63; in 1929, $29,615,607.25; in 1930, $34,960,806.28. The total percentage of increase of payments for all purposes in 1930 was 27%.
GIFTS
1. The property acquired by the purchase and gifts during the present administration is as follows: Gift by the Rhodes family of the Rhodes Building for the Archives and History of the State, known as the Rhodes Archives and History Memorial Building.
2. The building for the treatment of tuberculosis in children given by the Masons of Georgia, located at Alto,
Georgi;:~.
PURCHASES
1. Purchased by the State the Jackson-Martin property at a cost of $55,000.00-paid for out of the appropriation made for Capitol improvement and l;:~nds.
2. The Highway building on Capitol Avenue and Capitol Square, at a cost of $55,000.00---paid for out of the Highway fund.
3. The Flint Building at Experiment, Ga.-paid for out of the appropriation made by the Legislature.

TuESDAY, jANUARY 6, 1931.

97

4. Two buildings at Milledgeville at the Sanitarium, which are completed and equipped-one of which is housing 400 patients. The other building will house 300 patients, but having no money to maintain these patients, it is unoccupied.
5. The Phinizy property near Augusta, Ga., for the mental defectives on which $25,000.00 has been paid, leaving $25,000.00 unpaid.
6. The enlargement of the tubercular hospital for criminals at the State Farm, which has been completed and paid for.
7. Two other buildings for which money was appropriated but not available, are the Hospital for the Deaf, and the Cancer Hospital in Atlanta.
Now, with the sum 0f $31,346,801.00 for all purposes paid out by the State, is shown as percentage increase of 27%.
The unpaid appropriations for the years 1928 and 1929 amount to $7,458,545.43, which is in excess of the revenue provided. The Attorney-General ruled that an unpaid appropriation made either by the State or institutions is unconstitutional and illegal, and is not a legal obligation of the State, but a moral one.
Now, sho.Ild you provide revenue for the payment of $7,458,545.43, added to the total sum of $80,984,098.80 would make $88,443,644.23, you would have paid out for the years 1928, 1929 and 1930.
The question now before you is, what disposition you will make of these unpaid appropriations? Will you provide revenue for the payment, or will you decline the payment?
L. G. HARDMAN,
Governor of Georgia.

:My Dear Sir:-
I beg to transmit herewith the information requested in House Resolution No. 13 by Representative Brown of Fulton County, seeking information regarding the sale of materials during the past two years, which I trust is in conformity with your wishes.
Supplementing the information enclosed, beg to advise that I am unable to give any information as to the sale of scrap materials other than that enclosed due to the fact that the transactions were made prior to my administration. In reference to the sales made during November, 1930, beg to advise that upon investigation I found stored on a rented lot, adjacent to the highway property at East Point, a lot of war materials contributed by the United States Government to the Highway Department that was obsolete and of no value to the Department-that the rental of this property together with two watchmen employed night and day to guard same, the Department was expending $2500.00 annually.
Seeing the uselessness of such a procedure I directed that sealed bids be secured on this material and the sale was made to the highest and best bidder in accordance with the list which is hereto attached.
Trusting you will find this to be the information desired, I have the honor to be
Respectfully yours,
J. W. BARNETT, Chairman,

$10,553,846.81 Total Liabilities against funds January-June, 1931.

NOTE:

To arrive at total of funds not allotted or obligated by work under way, subtract $10,553,846.81 from $11,103,090.78 =$549,243.97, which is the amount of State's funds. There is a balance of Federal Funds not allotted of $4,512,328.08. This includes 1931-1932 (July 1, 1931-June 30, 1932). Subtract $549,243.97 from $4,512,828.08 =$8,968,084.11, which is the amount of Federal Aid over the amount of State funds prior to July 1. This amount cannot be matched by State funds. These figures do not include the new Federal Aid allotment of $2,077,996.00. If this can be applied against other Federal Aid, our Federal Aid balance unmatched and which State funds will not be available to match until after July, 1931, is $1,885,088.11 ($3,963,084.11$2,077,996.00 =$1,885,088.11).

HoN. ToM WisDOM,
State Auditor, State Capitol.

Atlanta, Georgia. January 10, 1931.

MY DEAR SIR:
In accordance with your request I am submitting to you herewith an itemized statement of the mo:r_:~.ies paid out through and by the State Department of Education during the calendar year 1930 to be used as information for members of the General Assembly and otherwise as you may see fit.
May I call your attention particularly to the very low percentage of the total cost for administration in our State Department of Education as shown by your report to the Governor in your last audit. By reference to your last report to the Governor dated July 18, 1930, it is seen that the total cost of administration for the calendar year 1929 to the total appropriation amounted to only ninety-six hundredths of one per cent (.96%). It was lower than for any recent previous year. It may be of interest also to call your attention to the fact that the amount expended for staff salaries per $1,000 spent for education in the Georgia State Department of Education was only $3.57, which was the lowest of any of the Southern states, and less than one-half as much as in the highest of the Southern states.
The State Department of Education welcomes the request from you or from any other source for full and detailed information of all of its operations and would be greatly pleased at any time to furnish any desired information.
Very respectfully yours,
M. L. DUGGAN,
State Superintendent of Schools

THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
ADMINISTERING THE
GEORGIA WORKMEN'S COl\'IPENSATION ACT

HoN. ToM WisDOM,

Atlanta, Georgia, .January 14, 1931.

State Auditor,

Atlanta, Ga.

MY DEAR MR. WISDOM:
As Chairman of the Industrial Commission, I submit below the information required under Senate Resolution No. 9 as follows:
No appropriation is made to the Industrial Commission. Its actual expenses are paid by assessment on the insurance carriers writing ""orkmen's Compensation insurance and self-insurers who pay compensation direct, as provided in the laws of 1922, pages 78-79. The net amount paid into the State Treasury in 1930 under this provision of law was $87,571.63. From time to time one of the parties at interest in a contested case before the Industrial Commission desires a copy of the _transcript of evidence. Charge is made for the cost of furnishing this copy at the rate allowed court reporters, and the amount received from the sale of transcripts of evidence in 1930 amounted to $615.55.
The actual expense of the Industrial Commission for the calendar year of 1930 was $83,224.95. Of this amount, however, $4,213.72 is chargeable against the expenses of the Commission for 1929 as was shown in your audit for 1929. The balance of $1,604.47 as of January 1st, 1931, was immediately credited back on a pro rata basis to insurance carriers and self-insurers paying the assessment.
Attached is balance sheet showing the income of the Commission and the disbursements of the Commission for the year 1930. Attached also is a detailed statement of the salaries and traveling expenses of everyone connected in any way with the Industrial Commission.
Respectfully submitted, Hal M. Stanley, Chairman.

STATE BOARD OF EXAMINERS IN OPTOMETRY

Sylvania, Ga., January 9, 1931.

MR. ToM WISDOM, State Auditor, Atlanta, Ga.

DEAR Sm:
In compliance with your request of 8th inst., I am enclosing a statement in triplicate of the financial affairs of our Board for the year 1930.
Evidently the purpose is to aid the General Assembly in finding some way to cut expenses. The consolidation of Departments has been advocated as a means to this end, but it is plainly evident that, since our Board costs the State nothing for administrative purposes, but would cost its pro rata share if merged, it is better to let it remain as a separate department, decidedly better. If conducted under a paid administration, the examinations alone would cost the State from five to ten times as much as it would get in fees, besides there is work to be done throughout the year. There is absolutely no way to effect any economy by merging our department with any others. There is absolutely no way to merge it without increasing expenses.
Besides the financial disadvantages in such mergers, there would be decided disadvantages in having our Board's affairs administered, even in part, by men outside the profession. Nothing to be gained, much to be lost.

Respectfully yours, J. H. WATERS. Secretary-Treasurer.
Georgia State Board of Examiners in Optometry.

Comptroller-General's Office State of Georgia Atlanta
January 28, 1931.
The House of Representatives, Han. Richard B. Russell, Speaker, State Capitol.
Sirs:-
My attention has been called to the fact that in the report of the State Auditor on Salaries and Travel Expense of this Department, Miss Mary Nagle appears in one place at $4,500.00 and another at $2,100.00. This was an error in transmitting the information furnished the State Auditor. We made up a sheet of total salaries and expenses of this Department on one sheet. The other sheet was supporting detail.
Miss Mary Nagle's salary is made up as follows:
General Appropriation Act, page 15, 1929 Laws "C" Insurance Clerk ........................ $2,400.00
From Insurance Agents Occupation Tax-Maintenance .................................... 2,100.00
Total Salary ...........................$4,500.00
The payment of $2,400.00 can be verified by the Treasury records, and the payment of the $2,100.00 can be verified by records in this office, which makes a total of $4,500.00.

WEDNESDAY, jANUARY 28, 1931.

437

Miss Nagle has been in the Comptroller's office smce 1903, and is a very efficient and conscientious clerk.
Respectfully submitted,

To the Senate and House of Representatives of Georgia:

Your special. committee appointed by joint resolution of the Senate and House, beg leave to make the following report.

The resolution under which your committee acted was as

follows:

.

"Whereas, it appears that the sum of more than S6,000,000.00 has been raised and paid over for the use of public schools in the State for the year 1930, which is a larger sum than has been raised for any previous year; and,

FRIDAY, jANUARY 30, 1931.

449

"Whereas, the question of increased taxes is a serious one for individuals and corporations in the State during the present financial depression;
"Therefore, be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Represen tatives concurring, as follows:
1. "That a joint committee, composed of two members of the Senate and three members of the House, be appointed by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, respectively; and that this committee consult the State Superintendent of Schools and the school records of the .State, and ascertain what emergency, if any, exists with reference to the continued operation of the public schools of the State.
2. "That this committee report its findings within six days, after the adoption of this Resolution." Your committee finds:
First:
Appropriation for common schools for 1928 ............................. $5,003,200.00
Paid thereon .......................... 3,453,315.15

Balance now due on 1928 .............. $1,549,884.85
Appropriation for common schools for 1929 ............................. $5,003,200.00
Paid thereon ......................... 3,311,237.00

Balance now due on 1929 ............... $1,691,963.00
Appropriation for common schools for 1930 .............................. $5,003,200.00
Paid thereon .......................... 4,504,899.46

Balance now due on 1930 .............. $ 498,300.54 Total balance due January 1, 1931, on
1928, 1929 and 1930 appropriations ...$3,740,148.39

450

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

Second:
Amount paid on equalization fund in 1928 (gasoline and kerosene) ............. $ 974,579.87
Amount paid on equalization fund in 1929. 2,136,852.81 Amount paid on equalization fund in 1930 2,411,190.27
Third:
Total cash receipts for benefit of common schools: For year 1928 ........................ $4,427,895.02 For year 1929 ........................ 5,458,089.81 For year 1930 ........................ 6,916,089.73
Fourth: On the 27th day of February, 1931, there will mature obligations of the State, under the exercise of the borrowing power of the State for common schools $2,500,000.00. We are advised, that in order for the State to meet this obligation, all revenue received will be needed. Therefore, there will be no money available until after February 27, 1931.
Under authority of law the Governor will be then authorized to borrow for the benefit of the common schools $3,500,000.00. This is within the discretion of the Governor. However, in the event th~ borrowing power is exercised, either in whole or in part, the monies received will not be available to the counties and school districts until approximately April 1, 1931.
Fifth: Therefore, we find that the only cash available for the common schools during January, February and March is the average approximate amount paid to the common schools monthly for the gas and kerosene equalization fund of $200,000.00, or a total for the three months of $600,000.00.
Sixth: The deficiency due the common schools to Jannary 1, 1931, of $3,740,148.39 could approximately be matched from the borrowing power of $3,500,000.00 if exercised by the Governors of the State during the current

FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1931.

451

year, but this plan is merely one form of kiting, since the sum thus borrowed would have to be paid out of 1931 revenue, which would otherwise go directly to the schools.
Seventh: Your committee has much difficulty in complying with the direction of the resolution to "ascertain
what emergency, if any, exists with reference to the continued
operation of the public schools of the State." The balance due the common schools by the State as of January 1, is certain, to-wit: $3,740,148.39, and this deficiency as relating to each county is certain, since the appropriations to the common schools are prorated under the law. The State government, however, does not operate the common schools. They are operated by the county boards of education, municipal boards of education, and county district boards. All appropriations to the common schools are largely merely contributions made by the State to these local school units. These local school units exercise the power to borrow money and incur other indebtedness. Therefore,. it would be possible for an emergency to exist even though State appropriations had been paid in full, or no emergency, although there was substantial deficiency in the payment of appropriations by the State.
Unfortunately, there is no provision of law requiring the local school boards to furnish the State Department of Education with any report as to their financial condition. Such audits as made by the State Department of Education are not of a fixed date, and would have an average of some eight months in being up to January 1, 1931.
In order that your committee might have information as of January 1, 1931, as to the financial status of the local school units of the State, request was made by your committee of the individual members of the General Assembly and a questionnaire sent out by the State Department of Education, by request of the committee. The committee has received a most gratifying response to this request for information.

452

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

We have reports as to the financial status of the local school units from one hundred twenty-one counties in the State. A consolidation of these reports shows as of January 1, 1931; as follows, exclusive of bonded indebtedness:
(a) Forty-seven of the reporting counties have obligations substantially less than the amounts due by the State: that is a total indebtedness of $339,370.32 against $932,894.19 due these units by the State.
(b) Fifty-one of the counties have obligations substantially in amount equal to the amounts due by the State: that is a total indebtedness of $1,093,470.62 against $1,144,019.20 due these units by the State.
(c) Twenty-three of the counties have obligations substantially in excess of the amounts due by the State: that is a total indebtedness of $996,928.33 against $567,392.84 due by the State.

Eighth: Your committee therefore finds:
(a) There is and there will continue to be a financial emergency to the first of April; and this emergency is remediless.
(h) After the first of April, under the facts and situation as existing at the present time, there will be a continuing emergency; largely due to the impaired credit of the local boards. This impa.ired credit is due to the present financial depression, and to the continued inability of the State to pay over to the common schools its annual appro-
priat~ons.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1931.

455

January 28, 1931.
HoN. L. G. HARDMAN,
Governor of Georgia,
Executive Offices, State Capitol.
Dear Governor:
I have yours, received last night, inclosing copy of House Resolution No. 32, "requesting the Governor to take the opinion of the Attorney-General relative to the matter contained in this Resolution."
The Resolution is, in part, as follows:
"Whereas, the moneys collected in the several counties of the State upon occupation, and possibly other taxes, and reported to the Comptroller-General, and by that officer to the State, appear to have been tolled ten per cent., the total tollage seeming to aggregate possibly $100,000.00 a year, for which practice there does not clearly appear to be any statutory authority:
Resolved, by the House that the Governor be and he is hereby requested to take the opinion of the AttorneyGeneral as to whether there is any law warranting such practice, and, if so, what law, and furnish the House with a copy of the opinion," etc.
I have diligently investigated this matter, and do not
find any express statutory authority. It is reported that
it was the practice of Comptroller-General Wright, during the time he was in office, to follow the custom, and that he had found that custom in vogue when he became Comptroller-General. The present Comptroller-General, Hon. Wm. B. Harrison, has adhered to the custom, because of its long continuance, rather than from any express authority.
It may be that this custom originated because of allowance made to attorneys as fees. The statute authorizing

456

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

the Governor to have suit instituted, Code Section 149, is as follows, to-wit:

"Whenever the Governor, after consulting with the Attorney-General, or without, if there is no such officer, shall deem it proper to institute a suit for the recovery of a debt due the State or money or property belonging to the State, he is authorized and required to institute such suit in the proper court of this State, with the same rights as any citizen, and to require the aid of the Attorney-General to begin and carry on such suits where practicable, and if not, some other suitable and competent attorney, on such terms as to compensation, as he may agree upon, but the fees of such attorney shall be conditional."

The basis of ten per cent. to be paid agents or attorneys for collecting taxes is mentioned in the Acts of 1913, Section 5, page 126, in reference to the power of the county board of tax assessors, under what is called the Tax Equalization Law, in the following provision, to-wit:
"The said board shall have authority to employ an agent to seek out all unreturned property in the county and bring it to the attention of the board, and for such service it may allow such agent ten per cent. of the amount of the tax arising to the county from such unreturned property so discovered and placed on the books by his efforts. The commission allowed said agents shall be paid from the county treasury as a part of the expense of said board."
There seems to be some doubt, as well as conflict of authority, arising out of the Section 149 quoted supra and the quoted section of the Act of 1913 supra. The county authorities are shown to have the authority to employ an agent, which authority apparently does not conflict with the power given the Executive under Code Section 149.

FRIDAY, l"-NUARY 30, 19:)1.

457

We have carefully searched through the Acts of the Legislature of several years next succeeding the adoption of the Constitution of 1877, and find nothing to throw any light upon this proposition, which confirms the idea that no statutory provisions have been enacted concerning the same.
It may be proper to observe that, while what is called
departmental construction, or the practice of a department of the State to conduct business along a certain line, may have the force of law while it is being observed, the General Assembly, of course, has authority to terminate such departmental construction.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) GEO. M. NAPIER, Attorney-General.

Governor, Executive Offices, The Capitol.

January 28, 1931.

Dear Governor Hardman:

During the day, I have found a new section throwing some light upon the reply to the Resolution of the House, which you sent over with your letter.

This section is found in Number 1245 (9). I have taken the liberty, therefore, of changing my reply to you, so as to include this section, and have already furnished the Comptroller-General with a copy of my amended reply to you.

Sincerely yours, (Signed) GEO. M. NAPIER, Attorney-General.

January 28, 1931.

Dear Governor:

I have yours, received last night, inclosing copy of House Resolution No. 32, "requesting the Governor to take the opinion of the Attorney-General relative to the matter contained in this Resolution."

The Resolution is, in part, as follows:

"Whereas, the moneys collected in the several counties of the State upon occupation, and possibly other taxes, and reported to the Comptroller-General, and by that officer to the State, appear to have been tolled ten per cent., the total tollage seeming to aggregate possibly $100,000.00 a year, for which practice there does not clearly appear to be any statutory authority:

Resolved, by the House that the Governor be and he is hereby requested to take the opinion of the AttorneyGeneral as to whether there is any law warranting such practice, and, if so, what law, and furnish the House with a copy of the opinion," etc.

I have diligently investigated this matter, and do not
find any express statutory authority. It is reported that
it was the practice of Comptroller-General Wright, during the time he was in office, to follow the custom, and that he had found that custom in vogue when he became Comptroller-General. The present Comptroller-General, Hon. Wm. B. Harrison, has adhered to the custom because of its long continuance, rather than from any express authority.

It may be said that this custom originated because of allowance made to attorneys as fees. The statute authorizing the Governor to have suit instituted, Code Section 149, is as follows, to-wit:

FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1931.

459

"vVhenever the Governor, after consulting with the Attorney-General, or without, if there is no such officer, shall deem it proper to institute a suit for the recovery of a debt due the State or money or property belonging to the State, he is authorized and required to institute such su~t in the proper court of this State, with the same rights as any citizen, and to require the aid of the Attorney-General to begin and carry on such suits where practicable, and if not, some other suitable and competent attorney, on such terms, as to compensation, as he may agree upon, but the fees of such attorney shall be conditional."

The commission allowed said agents shall be paid from the county treasury as a part of the expense of said board."
Code Section 1254 (9) provides as follows:
"It shall be the duty of the tax collectors of this State to co-operate with the department of revenue in supplying information as to delinquents, and said department shall have access to all records of tax collectors of this State in putting into effect the operation of this Act, and that said tax collectors shall not be entitled to any commission whatever in the collection of delinquent taxes except where such collections are made directly by such tax collector, and then

460

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

such commission shall not exceed that of ten per cent.

now provided by law, and said tax collectors shall not

then have right to relieve any delinquent of penalty

and remit same, less his commission of ten per cent., to

said revenue department." Acts 1923, Extrs Sess, pp.

13, 15.

.

There seems to be some doubt, as well as conflict of authority, arising out of the Section 149 quoted supra and the quoted section of the Act of 1913 supra. The county authorities are shown to have the authority to employ an agent, which authority apparently does not conflict with the power given the Executive under Code Section 149.

We have carefully searched through the Acts of the Legislature of several years next succeeding the adoption of the Constitution of 1877, and find nothing to throw any light upon this proposition, which confirms the idea that no statutory provisions have been enacted concerning the same, except as stated above.

It may be proper to observe that, while what is called departmental construction, or the practice of a department of the State to conduct business along a certain line, may have the force of law while it is being observed, the General As~embly, of course, has authority to terminate such departmental construction.

The deduction of this commission has been the practice since the first tax of this nature was levied, and such deduction is recognized as being legal in paragraph 1245, Section 9 of the Code of Georgia. The various tax collectors furnish licenses, postage, etc., and bear any other expense incident to the collection of this class of tax.

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

The following communication was received from the State Tax Commissioner:
The House of Representatives,
Hon. Richard B. Russell, Jr., Speaker,
Sirs:
In response to House Resolution No. 39-53B, requesting information as to why certain fees were paid by this department to Park & Strozier, Attorneys, I respectfully report as follows:
A suit was brought in Bibb Superior Court by Southwestern Railroad Company contending that a holding company was not subject to the gross receipts tax. The Georgia Railroad and Banking Company and Augusta & Savannah Railway entered into a stipulation to abide by the decision in this case. It was heard in Bibb Superior Court and argued in the Court of Appeals some time ago. No decision has yet been handed down.
The Fox Film Corporation brought an injunction in Fulton Superior Court to enjoin the collection of the gross receipts tax upon receipts derived from the sale or rental of copyrighted moving picture films. This case was heard in the lower court and argued in the Supreme Court a few months ago. No decision has been reached.
W. C. Bradley et al. brought suit in Fulton Superior Court on the grounds that the State had no right to tax income from the sale of capital assets when the income accrued prior to the approval of the State Income Tax Act, although the sale was made and the profits realized during the year the act was passed. This case was tried in the lower court and argued in the Supreme Court but no final decision has been rendered.
These three cases involved intricate and difficult questions of law and the amount involved an aggregate of approximately $100,000.00 in unpaid taxes and refunds.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1931.

463

Park & Strozier were paid eight hundred and fifty dollars for their services in these three cases.
No legal branch is provided for this department. The mass of litigation in which the State has been involved for the past year made it impossible for the Attorney-General and his one assistant to handle all this litigation. It was therefore necessary for this office to employ special counsel to defend these suits or permit judgment to be taken denying the right of the State to collect these taxes.
In thus employing special counsel I exercised my best judgment in endeavoring to protect the interests of the State and to carry out the mandate of the General Assembly of Georgia to collect and administer these taxes.
Respectfully submitted,
R. C. NoRMAN,
State Tax Commissioner.

The following communication was received from the Comptroller-General:

To the House of Representatives of the State of Georgia:
In reply to House Resolution No. 39 requesting the Comptroller-General to show cause why he pays Miss Mary Nagle two salaries in the total sum of $6,600.00 per year, I respectfully submit the following:
Miss Nagle is not being paid two salaries in the total sum of $6,600.00 per year. She does receive a salary of $2,400.00 per year as chief clerk in the Insurance Department and $2,100.00 per year as clerk in charge of the collection of the occupation tax on insurance agents; making her total compensation $4,500.00 per year.
Miss Nagle has been employed in the ComptrollerGeneral's office for the past twenty-eight years and has merited the confidence, respect and admiration of all citizens of this State who are familiar with the duties of

464

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

this department. Her services have been and are now invaluable to this department and to the State. Her record for faithfulness and integrity in the performance of her duties as a servant of the people of this State cannot be excelled. Her present compensation was fixed by my predecessor in office, the late Hon. William A. Wright, who served the State as Comptroller-General from the year 1879 continuously until his death in September, 1929. It has been my privilege and pleasure to continue the employment of Miss Nagle, for whom I have the deepest admiration and respect.
Respectfully submitted,
w. B. HARRISON,
Comptroller-General.

The following communication was received from the Superintendent of Banks:
January 30, 1931.
To the Hon. Richard B. Russell, Speaker of the House of Representatives:
As an official of the Department of State Government, in the capacity of Superintendent of Banks, I desire to make this communication to the House of Representatives, now in session, in explanation or reply to statement made by Mr. Edwards in an address on the floor of the House with respect to salary paid to the Superintendent of Banks.
Mr. Edwards stated that the Superintendent of Banks, himself, received $13,000.00 in salaries for the year 1930. As soon as I learned of this statement, I readily communicated with Mr. Edwards and called his attention to the
a mistake he had made and Mr. Edwards recognized the fact
that he had made mistake and assured me that he would correct this statement on the floor of the House this morning. The report itself shows the salaries paid to me as Superintendent of Banks, and the law provides for my salary and it has not been other than that provided by law,

FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1931.

46;)

and as shown in the report on the desk of each member of this House, which report shows that my salary is only $6,000.00 per year as Superintendent of Banks and as licensing official of the Small Loan Companies, I receive $1,200.00 as provided by law, hence, my salary is only $7,200.00 and not the $13,000.00 as reported by Mr. Edwards.
Anticipating that Mr. Edwards. might probably be ab sent from today's session, I take this opportunity to have this statement made to the House of Representatives.
Respectfully yours,
A. B. MoBLEY,
Superirytendent of Banks.

Hon. Richard B. Russell Jr., Speaker of the House of Representatives, Atlanta, Georgia.
My dear Mr. Speaker:
I am very grateful to the House of Representatives of Georgia for their invitation to address them and I wish much that I might do so in the near future. It is, I am sorry to say, impossible for me to leave this State during our own legislative session or during the thirty-day bill period which follows adjournment. This means, I fear, that I can not get down to Georgia until the end of April.
Some day I shall hope to be able to avail myself of your extremely cordial invitation for, as you know, I really consider Georgia as my other State and am keenly interested in all that pertains to the welfare and progress of the Empire State of the South.
Will you be good enough to express my thanks and appreciation to the members of the House of Representatives?
Yours very sincerely, FRANKLIN D. RoosEVELT.

JouRNAL or THE HousE,

The following communication was received from the Superintendent of Banking:

DEPARTMENT OF BANKING State of Georgia Atlanta
February 2, 1931.
To The Honorable The House of Representatives,
Gentlemen:
I am in receipt of a copy of a resolution introduced by the Honorable H. B. Edwards of Lowndes and adopted by the House on January 29, reading as follows:
"Therefore, Be it Resolved by the House o t Representatives, and it is hereby requested that said State Banking Department, said Executive Department, and said State Tax Commissioner immediately show cause why they paid said several sums to said Orville A. Park and his law partners."
The remainder of the resolution, having ref~rence to another department, is omitted.
The form of the resolution, which is that usually adopted in judicial proceedings where a hearing, either upon affidavit or orally, is to be had, creates some doubt in my mind as to the meaning and the desire of the House. I should be very much pleased if I could "show cause" before a committee of the House which would have authority to go fully into any and all payments made by this department, both of attorney's fees and of expenses.
Not knowing the form in which the House desires the information sought to be furnished, I am attaching hereto a statement of all payments made during the year 1930 to Mr. Orville A. Park; to his firm, Park & Strozier; or to him together with other attorneys associated with him in representing the department. I have the original checks,

TuEsDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1931.

485

each one of which contains a brief memorandum showing

the bank against which the charge was made and the case

or other legal matter for which the fee was paid. I will

take pleasure in exhibiting these to any committee or officer

of the House if it is desired. I have also the bills that were

rendered and the correspondence relating to the particular

matters, which I will also be glad to produce on request.

..

In explanation of Mr. Park's representation of this department, I beg to say that when I assumed office on Jan. 1, 1927, I found that during July 1926, at the time of the disastrous failure of the Bankers Trust Company, which involved its chain of banks and some twenty-five other corporations, my predecessor, Honorable T. R. Bennett, employed Messrs. C. N. Davie and 0. A. Park as attorneys to represent the Department of Banking and the Superintendent of Banks in the liquidation of all banks then in the hands of the department, as evidenced by written contracts on file. Fees had been fixed, the service had been performed or was being performed, and the several courts had approved the contracts.

The vast amount of work and the importance and diffi-

culty of the legal questions arising out of the catastrophe

which then confronted the state was tremendous, and I

thought it was desirable, if not imperative, that I should

confirm the contracts and continue their employment with

the department. Indeed, I did not believe that I could,

if I had wanted to do so, disregard the contracts made and

entered into by my predecessor.



Mr. C. N. Davie for a number of years had ably represented the department as Special Counsel in liquidation work, and I considered it fortunate that Mr. Park had been associated with him. For more than twenty years Mr. Park had been General Counsel for the Georgia Bankers Association. He had prepared for a Legislative Commission the Banking Act which was adopted in 1919 and under which the department had been created. He had represented the department in the Felton Case in which the

486

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

constitutionality of the Act had been attacked on numerous grounds. He was, therefore, regarded as one of the best qualified lawyers in the state to assist the Superintendent of Banks in the grave and responsible duties which were brought about by the failure of 83 banks within a period of 10 days.
The extent, the variety and importance of the litigation arising out of the liquidation of these banks and other corporations, in which Mr. Park and Mr. Davie represented the Superintendent of Banks can be gathered from the reports of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals, as well as the reports of the Federal Courts, including the United States Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the United States. I regard the services of these attorneys as of the greatest value to the Department, to the State of Georgia and to the depositors and creditors of these banks.
On account of the fact that the banks and other corporations were so intimately connected with the Bankers Trust Company and that nearly all of the litigation was centered in Atlanta, it was imperative to have attorneys on the ground who could give their undivided attention to this work.
Since this litigation has been practically concluded I have employed Mr. Park, sometimes alone and sometimes in connection with others, in various matters where, for one reason or another, it seemed desirable to have the benefit of his ability and his long and varied experience in banking matters. Each matter has been a separate employment. Neither he nor anyone else has represented the Department regularly since I have been Superintendent of Banks.
Under the Banking Law it is the duty of the Superintendent of Banks, and his responsibility, to employ counsel to represent him in the liquidation of banks which come into his hands for liquidation. On the Superintendent rests also the responsibility for fixing the compensation for the

TuEsDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1931.

487

attorneys so employed, but this is subject to the approval of the judge of the superior court of the county in which the bank is located. Mr. Park's employment has always been on this understanding. In fact, it could have been on no other. The charges which he has made I consider entirely reasonable and in most instances less than is usually paid for similar services. I may say that in addition to those matters for which compensation has been made, Mr. Park has generously and freely given of his time, and I have called on him repeatedly for advice as to which no charge has been made.
Respectfully submitted,
A. B. MoBLEY,
Superintendent of Banks.

505

General, and further consideration of the .fact that the legality of the Income Tax was being considered by the courts, the Governor of the State deemed it necessary to secure additional counsel to represent the State in the matter of the Income Tax law, the legality of which was then being attacked.
Further, believing that Mr. Park was familiar with the entire matter, it was my judgment that the State should employ him as an additional counsel in this matter to represent the State in the Superior Court and the Supreme Court, or all of the courts of the State.
Therefore, the Governor paid out of his Contingent Fund the amount of $2,000.00 for his services in this case.
Respectfully yours, L. G. HARDMAN, Governor.

()26

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

To: Hon. W. Cecil Neill, President of the Senate Hon. Richard B. Russell, .Jr., Speaker of the House
We, your committee appointed to investigate the expenditures and to survey the Capitol Building repairs and Property purchased, resulting from the provisions of House Bill No. 538, Acts of 1927, beg leave to sub mit the following report:
In our opinion, Governor L. G. Hardman has produced excellent results by his supervision of the repair work done on the Capitol Building and especially on the ground or first floor, the corridors are in excellent condition and additional office space has been made available from what heretofore had been used as storage rooms.
We find that the rewiring of the electrical system in the- Capitol Building has resulted in the reduction of the insurance rates which will bring about a savings of 40% on the insurance premiums paid on the Capitol Building.
Pursuant to our investigation of the property purchased, known as the old .Jackson Home and the Martin property, the committee recommends that the three (3) old wooden dwelling houses, on the rear of the old .Jackson Home property, be removed on account of the fire hazard.
We, the committee, recommend that the property in the rear of the old .Jackson Home and the Martin I-roperty, extending south to Trinity Avenue and from Capitol Place to the extended west lot line of the property the State now owns, be purchased by the State at a price of Seven Thousand Dollars ($7,000.00).
Included herein is a complete statement of the financial transactions pertaining to the disposition of the appropriation of $250,000.00, per House Bill No. 538, Acts 1927.
Respectfully submitted,
W. V. WHALEY of the 35th, A. .J. BIRD of the 49th,

STATE OF GEORGIA ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S OFFICE
ATLANTA.

Hon. L. G. Hardman, Governor, The Capitol.

September 6, 1929.

Dear Governor:

I have for consideration and reply yours of the 6th instant, just received, wherein you say:

"In 1927 (See Georgia Laws 1927, page 104) the Legislature passed an Act to change the location for testing gasoline and kerosene and placed it under the Department of the Comptroller-G1meral. However, the Legislature failed to make any provision for expenses in preparing or improving any part of the Capitol for this work.

In order that this work might go on and the Act of the Legislature might be complied with, it was necessary to use a part of the funds appropriated for the upkeep of Public Buildings and Grounds to prepare and arrange proper room for the work. This work amounted to $2,326.50.

MoNDAY, MARCH 2, 1931.

631

There were also improvements in the laboratories of the State Board of Health, which seemed to be absolutely necessary in order that the Department could do efficient work. This work amounted to $8,505.00.
A heating system which was necessary for the mansion cost $1,246.30.
I am writing to know whether or not the Governor would be authorized to reimburse the Department of Public Buildings and Grounds for the above amounts out of the State Treasury, or whether or not this could be anticipated and paid from the $200,000.00 recently appropriated for the improvements of the Capitol, 1>ince the above amounts expended were for permanent improvements of the Capitol and Mansion.
If in your investigation and judgment this is not proper, I would be glad to know whether the Keeper of Public Buildings would be authorized to borrow enough money to reimburse and supply this deficiency in the upkeep of the buildings and grounds, and labor, until January 1st, or whether or not it coUld be partly paid out of the emergency fund of the Governor. Or from what source in your judgment could we secure funds for the expenses of the labor in the upkeep of the Buildings and Grounds."
Without passing on each of the alternative propositions which you submit, it occurs to me that the most plausible and entirely legal manner to consider is that which involves the payment of the sums expended on permanent improvements on the Capitol out of the $200,000.00 appropriated for improvements of the Capitol.
Provided these improvements were assented to by the Governor and were intended as permanent improvements, it is my opinion that the sums which you mention as having been expended for making provision for quarters for testing gasoline and kerosene, and to make improvements in the laboratories of the State Board of Health, should be paid out of the appropriation of $200,000.00 which you mention in your letter.
It appears that the amount expended for the heating system at the Mansion could be paid into the fund for the upkeep of Public Buildings and Grounds out of the emergency fund of the Governor. This will be keeping separate and distinct the expenses of work for making permanent improvements of the Capitol and the expenses for work done in the improvements on the Mansion.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. M. NAPIER, Attorney-General.

632

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

STATE OF GEORGIA EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
ATLANTA September 6, 1929.
Hon. George M. Napier, Attorney-General, Atlanta, Georgia. Dear Sir:
In 1927 (See Georgia Laws 1927, page 104) the Legislature passed an Act to change the location for testing gasoline and kerosene and placed it under the Department of the Comptroller-General. However, the Legislature failed to make any provision for expenses in preparing or improving any part of the Capitol for this work.
In order that this work might go on and the Act of the Legislature might be complied with, it was necessary to use a part of the funds appropriated for the upkeep of Public Buildings and Grounds to prepare and arrange proper room for the work. This work amounted to $2,326.50.
There were also improvements in the laboratories of the State Board of Health, which seemed to be absolutely necessary in order that the Department could do efficient work. This work amounted to $8,505.00.
A heating system which was absolutely necessary for the mansion cost $1,246.30.
I am writing to know whether or not the Governor would be authorized to reimburse u,e Department of Public Buildings and Grounds for the above amount out of the State Treasury, or whether or not this could be anticipated and paid from the $200,000.00 recently appropriated for the improvements of the Capitol, since the above amounts expended were for permanent improvements of the Capitol and Mansion.
If in your investigation and judgment this is not proper, I would be glad to know whether the Keeper of Public Buildings would be authorized to borrow money to reimburse and SU!Jply this deficiency in the upkeep of the buildings and grounds, and labor, until January 1st, or whether or not it could be partly paid out of the emergency fund of the Governor. Or frow what source in your judgment could we secure funds for the exJ_enses of the labor in the upkeep of the Buildings and Grounds.
It is hoped that the Governor will be able at an early date to start the improvements on the first floor of the Capitol so as to provide our much needed room.
Thanking you for an early reply, I am Yours very truly,

The Speaker announced the House adjourned until 9:00 o'clock tomorrow morning.

The bill having received the requisite constitutiona majority was passed, as amended.
Mr. McGehee of Talbot moved that the bill be transmitted immediately to the Senate, and the motion prevailed.

The following protest was submitted:
Mr. Howard of Chattahoochee begs leave to file the following protest in reference to House Bill No. 18 which provides for a tax on incomes.
"I have always favored an Income Tax. It seems to be the only way to reach certain kinds of wealth.
Many people who derive great incomes from money invested in tax-free stocks and bonds, pay no taxes. Notwithstanding the fact that the owners of incomes pay nothing to support the county or other local governments, the law exempts a part of the income from any tax whatever.
I offered an amendment to give the same exemptions to the owners of real-estate and household and kitchen furniture.
This amendment would give great relief to the owners of property. It would have given great relief to the poor man who makes no profit and no income from his farm, or from his sawmill, or his store. Because the previous question had been moved, I had no opportunity to discuss the amendment.
Many members seem not to understand that this amendment would give great relief to the class of people who pay more than a fair share of the taxes of the state.

658

JOURNAL OF THE HousE,

It is my purpose to make another effort to lower the taxes on real-estate and personal property at the next regular session."

The proceeds of all such seizures after paying the costs and expenses thereof shall be paid by the said Commissioner into the State Treasury.

694

JouRNAL or THE HousE,

By Messrs. Chalker of Pulaski, West of Randolph and Harris of Terrell-
House Resolution No. 97.
A RESOLUTION
Whereas, the daily devotional exercises conducted in this hall by Rev. W. D. Hammack, chaplain of the House, have a fortifying influence, and have awakened in the hearts of many a deeper interest in a broader and more vigorous Christianity; and
Whereas, his earnest words of spiritual grace, invoking the blessings of Providence upon Representatives, and asking for Divine guidance of them in their deliberations in behalf of the welfare of Georgia and her people, have been a sustaining hand and an upholding arm in our desires and efforts to discharge our duties faithfully, patriotically and well; and
Whereas, the purest and loftiest emotions that the heart ever feels on earth are stimulated and refreshed by such ardent prayers and soulful songs as are heard daily in this hall;
Therefore, be it resolved by the members of this House that we are gratefully thankful to the goodly and devout chaplain for his supplications each morning for Divine favor upon us, and for the approving smile of Providence on our endeavors in the interest of this Commonwealth. May the precious incense of Heaven continue to fall, as gently as the silent dew, for many more years upon his noble head now silvered o're with time.
We rejoice that in the greatness, goodness and tenderness of God, the chaplain possesses
"An old age serene and bright, And lovely as a lapland night."

By unanimous consent the following resolution of the

The following Committee Substitute to the bill was read: By the Committee-

A RESOLUTION
Whereas, Attention of the General Assembly has been officially directed to present inadequate facilities for handling and caring for certain wards, dependent upon the State, and to the deplorable conditions at certain institutions, and
Whereas, Official documents and correspondence emphasize that all available space at the State Sanitarium has been utilized, and the inability of the authorities of that institution to receive and properly care for all the patients in the State who have been committed to that institution and that for lack of room a large number of unfortunate mentally deficient people are detained in the jails of the State, and
Whereas, The State Prison Commission has found it necessary to call upon the General Assembly to take immediate steps to make some provision that will enable the Prison Commission to care for, handle and house the convicts who are rapidly being turned back to the State by counties to which they have heretofore been allotted, and to devise some method or methods by which such convicts may be employed in sustaining occupations, and

698

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

Whereas, The report of the State Prison Commission shows that the present population of the State Prison Farm near Milledgeville, is approximately one-third greater than the maximum capacity for which that institution was constructed and equipped, resulting in the necessity at times of requiring numbers of convicts to sleep on floors, and affording vastly insufficient occupation to keep the numerous convicts employed, and
Whereas, The property occupied by and used for a central State prison at or near Milledgeville has long been recognized as entirely unsuitable for agricultural purposes and that said lands cannot be profitably cultivated, and are not sufficiently large in area to accommodate all the convicts of this State, Now, therefore,
Be it resoived, by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring, that:
1. A special commission be appointed from the General Assembly, to be composed of three members of the Senate to be appointed by the President thereof, and five members of the House of Representatives, to be appointed by the Speaker thereof, together with the three members of the Prison Commission to be known and designated as the "Prison Farm Purchase Commission".
2. That said "Prison Farm Purchase Commission" be, and they are hereby, invested with full power and authority to purchase, or to contract to purchase, or to secure options, or to lease, for and on behalf of the State of Georgia, subject to a good and merchantable title, a tract of land in said State sui table for and to be used as a Penitentiary and Prison Farm, upon such terms and conditions and payments as may seem wise to said "Prison Farm Purchase Commission". Provided it does not exceed the sum of Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000.00) Dollars.
3. That said Prison Farm, so purchased, shall consist of not less than five thousand (5,000) acres and not more than thirty thousand (30,000) acres, shall be accessible to

TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1931.

699

railroad and improved highway facilities, well watered, shall contain ample timber for buildings and farm purposes, and suitable pastures. The land must be good, fertile land and well adapted for pasturage and raising all food and other crops, and suitable for a prison plant to meet the requirements of the State in caring for, handling, housing, maintaining and keeping such prisoners that the State may be called upon, in compliance with law, to confine to the Farm or Penitentiary.
4. That upon the passage of this resolution, and when the same has been approved by the Governor, it shall be the duty of the "Prison Farm Purchase Commission" to meet forthwith at the State Capitol and organize and advertise and ask for the submission of offers of lands suitable for a Prison Farm. That careful personal inspection shall be made of all lands offered, and the lowest prices, terms and conditions be obtained, and that the said" Prison Farm Purchase Commission" shall then purchase the lands which in their judgment are best suited for the purposes, having due regard to price, terms and conditions, and when the selection is made the same shall be approved by the Gover. nor before the sale is consummated.
5. That no real estate agent, firm, individual or corporation shall receive any compensation or commission from the State on account of the purchase of any lands herein provided for.
G. That upon the completion of the purchase of said Prison Farm the same shall be turned over and delivered to the Prison Commission, and the Prison Commission shall begin the transfer of convicts to this Farm, erecting temporary quarters and stockades for them and employing them in preparing the new Prison Farm for cultivation and occupancy.
7. That the new Prison Farm be purchased for the express purpose of accommodating the male convicts that may come into the hands of th<:> Prison Commission, those con-

700

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

victs that may be surrendered by county officials, and male convicts now at the State Farm near Milledgeville who may be assigned to said new Farm, and in the erection thereon of a Central Penitentiary as provided for in this resolution.
8. That the transfers of prisoners from the present State Farm at Milledgeville and from the counties which may in future turn back to the State their felony prisoners, and transfers from elsewhere, shall be made gradually in order that ample time may be had for clearing and constructing houses, camps and stockades, and the erection of machinery of any nature required on said new Farm, and that in making said transfers the Prison Commission shall retain at the present State Farm at Milledgeville all female prisoners and all those assigned to the tubercular hospital, and also those that are infirm or incapacitated for work on said new Farm, and in addition thereto such other prisoners as may be needed and may be assigned by the Prison Commission to work in any of the industrial plants now located on the State Farm at Milledgeville or that may hereafter be erected thereon to be operated by and under the direction of the said Prison Commission, and the Prison Commission shall reserve so much of the lands of the State Farm at Milledgeville as may be needed for the support and maintenance of the female prisoners and of the tubercular prisoners, and of such aged, infirm, or disabled prisoners as may be left on said farm, and also such lands as may be needed for use in connection with the operation of industrial plants, together with such buildings as may be needed for housing, caring for and keeping safely the several classes of prisoners above mentioned and referred to, and such others as may be assigned to said State Farm at Milledgeville, and the remainder of the lands and buildings not required for use in supporting, maintaining and caring for and keeping safely the several classes of prisoners above mentioned, including those prisoners assigned to work in the industrial plants, and may be then turned over by the Prison Commission to the Trustees of the Milledgeville State Hospital for the

Insane to be used by the authorities of said hospital for use in housing and caring for and supporting colored insane patients, as hereinafter provided for on the lands thus turned over by the Prison Commission to said Hospital and its authorities, but the lands and buildings reserved by the Prison Commission are expressly left under the jurisdiction of said Prison Commission and are not to be encroached upon by the said hospital or its authorities.
9. The Prison Commission shall and are required to classify the prisoners at said Farms at Milledgeville and wherever the new Farm may be purchased according to physical condition, conduct and demeanor and the degrees of crime, and to make rules, if not already in existence, governing the transfer from one class to another of such prisoners, such classes to be designated by grades, and the prisoners convicted for heinous crimes and those who appear to be incorrigible, and those whose conduct is subversive of discipline and the morale of the prison camps shall be segregated and kept apart, both during working hours and in the hours of rest, from the other prisoners not so classified, with the provision, however, that when the conduct of any prisoner put in the segregated class for the above reasons shall justify his transfer, he shall be promoted and transferred to the group of prisoners not under the ban herein provided for.
10. That said "Prison Farm Purchase Commission" shall make inquiry into and determine the necessities of the Milledgeville State Hospital for the care of the inmates in respect to more adequately housing the patients of that institution. That said "Prison Farm Purchase Commission" make a survey, with the authorities of the Milledgeville State Hospital, to determine the extent of improvement in operating conditions at this institution which will result from the conversion of that portion of the present State Prison Farm property so that it may be employed for the care, attention, handling, treatment, etc., of the negro inmates, to the end that all of the present Milledgeville

702

JouRNAL OF THE HousE,

State Hospital equipment and lands may be maintained for the use of white patients, and that so much of the present State Prison Farm property as may be necessary and not reserved by the Prison Commission be converted to the use of negro patients.
11. That the Prison Commission be, and they are hereby, authorized and directed in their discretion to manufacture at the Prison Farms or either of them with convict labor Highway Road signs, automobile license tags, and such other articles now used or that may hereafter be required by the State Highway Board on State Aid Roads, said articles to be sold to said State Highway Board at fair market value and upon such terms and conditions of payment as may be agreed upon by and between the Prison Commission of Georgia and the State Highway Board, and the State Highway Board is hereby expressly authorized to contract with said Prison Commission for said articles and to make payment therefor on such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon between said named Prison Commission and State Highway Board.
12. That all net amounts received by the Prison Commission from the sale of any of said articles or products to the State Highway Board, or to any other department or institution of the State or from any other funds or sums allocated to the Prison Commission for this specific purpose, from any source or sources, shall be applied on the purchase price of said Prison Farm, buildings, machinery and equipment, and that any and all such sums so received and expended by the Prison Commission for purposes aforesaid shall be deemed a credit to that extent on anv sum herein appropriated for the purchase of said Farm a~d the equipment thereof.
13. That for the purpose of buying said lands and equipping said Prison Farm and Penitentiary with implements, tools, stock, buildings and stockade and the like, the sum of Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000.00) Dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary, be and the same is here-

MoNDAY, MARCH 16, 1931.

749

The following communication was received from His Excellency, the Governor, through his Secretary, Mr. Wilson:
To the General Assembly of Georgia:
I herewith return House Bill No. VII providing for the sale of the rentals of the Western and Atlantic Railroad for a period of ten years from January 1st, 1936 to January 1st, 1946, without my approval.
I regret that I am unable to agree with the members of the General Assembly who voted for the passage of this Bill. When the Western & Atlantic Railroad rentals were first sold in 1921 and again in 1926 the income of the Stalte was much less and the burdens of taxation on the people were far less onerous than today. At the time of the previous sales of these rentals, it was not necessary for the State to pay interest for five years in advance before repayment of any of the principal as required under the terms of this Bill.
Let me call your attention to the Acts of 1923, Pages 42 and 43. When the Gasoline Tax was increased by this Act from one cent to three cents per gallon, it was provided that "One-third of the entire fund shall be credited to the general fund for the purpose of supplying the deficiency in the State Treasury arising out of the discount of the rentals of the Western & Adan tic Railroad as provided by the Act of 1921." This Act was carried out and the funds were paid to the Treasury accordingly. The one cent per gallon gas tax was placed in the General Treasury to replace the $540,000.00 annually diverted therefrom by the W. & A. Discount Act of 1921. These funds placed in the General Treasury to replace theW. & A. income from 1924 to 1927 totaled $4,454,404.81. Thus, it can be clearly seen that the proposals of this Bill cannot be favorably compared with legislation providing for previous sales.
There is no guarantee that these rentals can be sold. The most favorable suggestion that has been made by the ad-

750

JouRNAL oF THE HousE,

vocates of this Bill will require the sacrifice of more than $2,000,000.00 in interest to make available $3,200,000.00. The loss to the taxpayers of this State in interest paid, is in my judgment far greater than we can justify under present conditions. The sale of these rentals for the period provided for in this Bill will take from the State Treasury $5,400,000.00, which if replaced, must be done by the levy of additional burdens upon the people.
Under the terms of this Bill, the Governor can only apply the net proceeds derived to the obligations of the State's indebtedness incurred under appropriations for 1928-29-30, and he cannot apply any of the proceeds to the 1931 maintenance appropriations. On March 9, 1931, Monday of last week, the Governor borrowed $400,000.00 as provided by the Constitution to supply the deficiency in the Treasury. The larger portion of this amount will be paid to the State Sanitarium and Alto to relieve suffering humanity. This will enable the State Sanitarium to open its new building, which will be done on March 19th and will make room tor the 140 insane people now crowded in jails throughout our State. The amount going to Alto will enable them to put into operation sixty beds that are now idle. This will relieve tram their homes a large number of tubercular patients now on the waiting list.
This extraordinary session of the General Assembly was called to relieve the present emergency caused by a temporary deficit in the State Treasury. It is my firm conviction that it is neither necessary for the State to sacrifice its valuable property and its future income nor to increase the burdens of taxation upon its citizens to relieve this emergency. The total income of the State amounting to S31,346,801.00 a year is far greater than ever before in our history. This sum is large enough and in my judgment, if it is equitably and justly distributed, every interest supported by our State will be properly cared for and our State Government in its entirety will operate upon a sound basis.

MoNDAY, MARCH 16, 1931.

751

For the reasons stated, doing that which I believe to be my duty, I herewith veto this Bill (House Bill No. VII) and therefore, respectfully return it to you without executive approval.
This, March 16th, 1931.
L. G. HARDMAN' Governor.

Mr. Allen of Baldwin moved that the House do pass House Bill No. 7, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding.

Mr. Gullatt of Campbell moved that the House do now adjourn, the motion prevailed, and the motion of Mr. Allen of Baldwin went over as unfinished business.
