HR 330. By Messrs. Echols of Upson and Etheridge of Fulton:
A RESOLUTION
Creating a committee to study the cost of pupil transportation; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, The Governor's Commission on Education has forcefully and effectively reported to the people of Georgia the importance and urgency of substantial additional support of our public school effort; and
WHEREAS, the General Assembly is desirous of facing up to its responsibility in this effort; and
WHEREAS, it is urgently to be desired that little or no additional tax load be placed upon Georgia taxpayers; and
WHEREAS, it should be the first order of business to determine if funds presently appropriated to public school uses are being expended to best advantage; and
WHEREAS, the transportation of students to and from public schools consumes a sizeable portion of our school dollar; and
WHEREAS, according to statistics of the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the expenditure by Georgia for each child transported is $33.43 per year (exclusive of capital outlay); and
WHEREAS, comparable figures in some of our sister states are: North Carolina, $12.60; South Carolina, $17.51; Virginia, $21.10; Ala bama, $22.18; Ohio, $22.38; Mississippi, $23.28; Arizona, $24.21; Tennes see, $24.93; and Florida, $25.82; and
WHEREAS, should Georgia be able to reduce the cost per child to the North Carolina rate, based on $1962-3 statistics, a saving could have been effectuated in Georgia totaling $9,490,472; and
WHEREAS, based on the average cost of $21.55 per child in the nine states listed above, the potential saving to the Georgia taxpayer amounts to $5,412,432 per year; and
WHEREAS, it appears desirable to effect any saving possible in this essential function, allowing due consideration for the comfort and safety of the students so transported;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the Speaker is hereby authorized to appoint a committee to be composed of three members of the House to inquire

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1964

67

Accompanied by the Committee of Escort and other distinguished guests, Gov ernor Sanders appeared upon the floor of the House.

Lt. Gov. Peter Z. Geer spoke briefly in presenting Gov. Sanders.

Governor Sanders delivered the following address:
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR GEER, SPEAKER SMITH, DISTIN GUISHED MEMBERS OP THE SENATE AND OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, HONORED GUESTS, MY FELLOW GEOR GIANS:
It is with humility and a deep sense of pride that I come before this deliberative body today, knowing that you constitute the chosen leader ship of a modern people, in a modern State, during a modern time.
I am especially pleased to be with you, for I believe, indeed, I know, that when the record of accomplishment is written, it will show that this membership comprises the best and the most productive General Assem bly in the history of our grand old State.
Your performance in behalf of the people of Georgia last year, dur ing the first Session of the 1963-64 General Assembly, was historic.
The people benefited, because of your work.
The State progressed, because of your dedication.
The public trust in elected officials reached a new high, because of your integrity.
Let me tell you here and now that, as Governor, I am proud of this Legislature, of every man here, and I consider myself honored for the privilege of association with you both collectively and individually.
As we begin the new year, this General Assembly and the Adminis tration, can take pride in the solid gains and accomplishments of the State during the calendar year 1963.
During that year--
We saw employment at an all-time high.
We saw farm production set unparalleled records for income.
We saw education, the University System, highways, family and children services, the Youth Division, public and mental health, and other State services move to the highest levels of efficiency and productivity in history.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,
Industrialization spurred the economy throughout the State.
We also made a beginning toward achieving major reform in our penal system.
All of this is to say that, despite the gravity of the problems we face today, our accomplishments have been significant and impressive.
Every body of statistics indicates that we are living in a Georgia that is growing--a Georgia on the move.
The State of the State has never been better!
Yes, it was a good year for Georgia and her citizens. We moved ahead, but we cannot be content with the victories of last year, for our direction is to the future rather than the past.
One year ago, in this same Chamber and before this same General Assembly, I proposed a budget of nearly a billion dollars for the biennium. You accepted and approved that budget, and you did so in the face of some suggestions that the budget was unreasonable and unrealistic.
Well, my friends, you and I are here today to say to the world and the citizens of our State that we were right. Our State has prospered and even surpassed what anyone thought she could do.
Indeed, our future has never been so bright as today.
But we must not be satisfied with the comforts of a fleeting moment, or the victory of balancing the Budget, for the winds of change are sweeping those states which surround us, and with which our people must compete for jobs and economic security.
We are meeting today in what may well be the most critical session of the General Assembly in this century.
Our greatest need, in my judgment, and I believe in yours, falls within the broad spectrum of education.
It is in this field that Georgia stands to gain the most.
Therefore, it is in this field that Georgia must be prepared to give the most.
A little over eighteen months ago, I addressed myself to the people of Georgia and asked that they entrust me with the responsibility of leadership of this State, and I proposed a solemn declaration of principles which would be pursued in the Sanders Administration.
You and I, together with all forward-looking Georgians pledged our selves to a plan of improvement for education at all levels.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1964

69

It was at our Session last year, and our first meeting together, that we recognized and took initial action to fulfill this obligation hy creating the Commission to Improve Education.

And now we come together to assume the responsibility that is ours.

It is a solemn responsibility--

Responsibility to the children--all Georgia children.

Responsibility to the teachers of Georgia.

Responsibility to improve the economy of our State.

Responsibility to bring Georgia to her full stature.

Ask any parent--

Ask any citizen--

Ask yourself--

What specifically does this entail ?

We all know that

... talented children are leaving the classrooms for lack of challenge.

... dedicated teachers are leaving the profession because of inade quate pay.

... classrooms are both empty and overcrowded at the same time, depending on where they are located.

... our curricula have not developed in pace with the technological advances of the Space Age.

... in short, we have been trying to prepare children for the future on the basis of a school system grounded in the past.

What must be done?

To men of conscience, which I know you are, there can be only one answer.

We must enact and implement a new Master Plan for Education in Georgia.
As you know, I spoke to the people of our State last week by tele vision and radio, outlining the program and listing the proposals which

70

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

I recommend to you today. The principal function of this program is to strengthen our schools and colleges so that

first, for every education dollar spent we will receive a dollar's value...

and second, public education in Georgia at all levels is quality educa tion for all Georgians.

You will recall that when we met here this time last year we talked extensively about inadequate local financial support and its harmful effect on the entire educational system.

Georgia is in the contradictory position of being sixth from the top in State financial support, and seventh from the bottom in local support for education--all of which means, to put it in blunt terms, that a num ber of our school systems have been operating almost solely on State funds.

It is clear, therefore, that there can be no solution to Georgia's edu cational problems until this basic defect in our system is corrected.

This is the place we must start. Until we act here, we will be wasting our time talking about anything else.

Last January I stated that I was unwilling to request that further amounts of money be pumped into the present antiquated educational formula, until you and I were afforded the opportunity to have a closer look at how funds are being spent.

Through the Commission to Improve Education, and the Commis sion for Efficiency and Improvement in Government, we have had that look, and it is as a result of the proposals of these Commissions that I am today submitting to you a legislative program of corrective action.

In its broad outline, this program will:

(1) assure uniform minimum standards for all public schools in Georgia;

(2) establish an equalized tax digest for education, in place of the old economic index formula for determining the amount of State educa tional funds to be distributed to local systems;

(3) establish a realistic teacher salary schedule, based upon current economic conditions, merit and tenure, and the allotment of one teacher for every twenty-five pupils in high schools, and one to every twentyeight in elementary schools;

(4) allot school construction funds on the basis of need and where the children are;

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1964

71

(5) remove the 20-mill limitation on local school taxes, only when counties cannot, and to the extent necessary, for counties to produce their fair share of the required State matching funds;

(6) authorize counties to increase their local school bonding capacity from seven to ten per cent, so that they can build schools when needed, and at more favorable interest rates;

(7) require a pre-audit of educational programs and a system of competitive bidding on school supplies and equipment;

(8) allow State money to follow the child, and approve school sys tem consolidations without the lost of State funds;

(9) provide better cost accounting on school transportation and establishment of uniform standards;

(10) authorize the State Board to extend the school year, and to participate in summer programs, making available the use of our school facilities on a year-round basis;

(11) provide for the continued operation of isolated schools, thus assuring an education for children in remote areas which cannot nor mally provide sufficient funds to meet minimum standard requirements;

(12) statutorily require that local systems put up their fair share of local funds for education, or have State funds reduced in proportionate percentage sums;

(13) increase textbook allotment to assure that all pupils receive all necessary books; and
(14) put more vocational training in our high schools, expand the curricula and facilities of our area technical schools, provide for com munity colleges, and for more research facilities for higher education, as well as research in education itself.
These are the major steps which I am proposing that we take imme diately. There is a long range aspect of the bill which must be considered and--it is the heart of what I am proposing to you.
It is the proposal to change the present 85/15 State/local fund ratio in the Minimum Foundation Program so that local school support shall be brought to a more logical level.
The new formula which this bill will set forth will increase the aver age statewide percentage of local support by one per cent per year-- beginning with the 1965-66 school year--and continuing over a period of five years until the establishment of a new State-local ratio of 80/20 per cent.
In a State which constitutionally cannot conduct deficit financing, and in an age when united effort is required for economic success, it is

72

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

not too much to ask that local governments put up one out of every five dollars spent on their systems for education.

It was found that today we could use $150-million dollars, if it were available, to implement our program of improvement, but because I be lieve that this is not now realistic, but that a more modest beginning would be...

I am proposing that $30-million dollars in new revenue be raised through action of this General Assembly during this session.

Translating this into concrete terms it would mean:

(1) a salary increase averaging $200 per teacher based upon per formance, experience and qualification immediately effective January 1;

(2) a commensurate increase in the salaries of college and univer sity faculty members;

(3) an immediate addition of 350 more teachers to be followed by the addition of 1,000 teachers next year;

(4) a $75,000,000 increase, making a total of $100-million dollars, effective July 1, 1964, in the bond funds for schools and colleges to pro vide for construction of necessary facilities;

(5) expansion of teacher in-service-training and additional support for the propsective teacher scholarship program;

(6) creation of an honors program for outstanding junior students with superior talents;

(7) an increase in textbook funds to provide essential textbooks for every student and proper library facilities;

(8) completion of the State educational television network; and

(9) placing the State educational administration on the best possible administrative basis with the most modern equipment and records sys tem, including data processing equipment, with the least possible admin istrative cost, and the greatest educational value possible per dollar spent.

These objectives cannot be accomplished through local support alone.

A substantial outlay of new State funds will be required.

And it is the purpose of my administration to propose directly to you ways and means of raising these funds. In my judgment, this can best be done with revisions in existing revenue laws, revisions that will pose a burden to no citizen.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1964

73

The additional revenue will be used for the basic purpose of better education. We must improve our education programs in Georgia, and I know that you share this view.

We cannot carry out our contract with the people in full under the existing revenue structure.

We cannot carry out our pledges to the mothers and fathers, children and teachers of Georgia, and at the same time provide for other essential State needs when you write a new budget bill next year. Be not misled about our anticipated surplus. Much was budgeted last January; more is yet to be collected, and we cannot spend funds we do not have.

Now, the method which I am recommending for raising the necessary revenue consists of five principal points. These are:

First... a 3-cent tax increase on cigarettes, with the removal of the 5 per cent mark-up, as well as making the tax deductible by the con sumer. This is being offered with the knowledge of experience in other States, which has shown that the level of State cigarette tax rates in no way adversely affects the sale of tobacco by the grower. It is anticipated that $15-million dollars will be raised through this change in the law.

Second... a net increase of 50-cents per gallon on distilled spirits, brought about by discontinuing the State warehousing system, and ad justing the tax structure.

Third ... elimination of the vendors' commission on collection of retail State sales tax, providing an additional $5,500,000 dollars for pub lic education.

Fourth ... a one per cent increase in the corporate income tax level, enabling the State to collect an additional $8-million dollars, yet keeping our corporate tax structure competitive with other States. Over half of this increase will be borne by the Federal Government in almost every instance.

Fifth ... the levying of 12-cents a case on beer, providing the educa tion program with an additional $1,300,000 dollars each year.
These measures are realistic and fair, and they will make possible the improvements we so desperately need in education. They provide funds for our State's future. The yield we receive tomorrow depends solely on the investment we make today.
To immediately implement the educational program, we will con sider and approve a supplemental appropriations act, which good busi ness demands that we keep well within anticipated revenues.
Further, I want to stress to you that the funds you appropriate for our new education program will be carefully guarded and supervised by me as your budget director, and will not be approved for expenditure unless all efficiency and economy measures feasible are effected in the

74

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

State Department of Education, and in other education agencies of the State.
Georgia will not pour money down the administrative drain of any department on faith alone. We--you as the Legislature, and I as the Chief Executive--demand a full accounting of practices and procedures ... and of how every quarter, every dime, and every nickel of public funds is spent. This, my friends, is a program that you can run on, not run from, when you offer for re-election by the people.
In the conduct of State business this Session, the Sanders Adminis tration will ask you to approve certain other bills designed for the public betterment and well-being.
Foremost among these are ...
a sheriffs' salary bill, to eliminate all our 159 sheriffs from the evils of the fee system once and for all.
adoption of a Fair Elections Code, so that our people may vote as they wish and for whom they wish, and with the full protection of the law;
passage of prison reform measures, designed to assure that rehabili tation, rather than punishment, is the prime good of our correctional institutions.
implementation of an airport construction program;
an effective measure regulating billboards on our highways;
adoption of a new State Constitution. It is my hope that such a docu ment can be submitted to you before the end of this session. However, if other business at hand does not permit sufficient time for deliberate con sideration, I will call a Special Session of the Legislature sometime later in the year for the purpose of replacing this most important document of organic law;

and, finally, the approval of a congressional redistricting plan which is fair to every voter in every district... and which will keep Georgia responsibilities in the Georgia General Assembly, and Georgia Congress men responsible to the people they represent, rather than the Federal Courts.

It is no understatement to say today that we rendezvous with re sponsibility, at a time when we must determine whether we are willing to pay the price of continued progress.

I urge the members of this General Assembly to search your con sciences today, and to resolve with me that no hurdle will be too great for us to clear in the realization of our purpose.

Realizing that the hour requires the best that we can give to our State and to our children, we must cast out partisanship and lay aside

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1964

75

personal considerations, or any reservation which any of us might have ... and set out together to achieve, in this Session of the General Assem bly, the legislative foundation upon which we can build the Georgia of tomorrow, of which we all dream.

I accept the challenge of improvement willingly, eagerly.

In accordance with the election of January 17, 1964, Honorable Floyd Hudgins of Chattahoochee County was given the oath of office by Judge Charles A. Pannell, Court of Appeals.
Mr. Bedgood of Clarke arose to a point of personal privilege and delivered the following address:
I would like to speak briefly on a subject of vital importance to everyone in the State of Georgia, regardless of station, and regardless of where one may live, whether in the city or country.
It is with some apprehension, Mr. Speaker, that I rise to add any words of mine to the numbers of other voices that have spoken out so clearly on Education. The present crisis in education in our State is a problem of such magnitude as to command the attention of all thinking and responsible Georgians.
Several weeks ago, Mr. Speaker, Governor Sanders' Commission on Education, composed of 34 of our State's most eminent and re spected citizens, representing our best leadership from the fields of government, business, and education, and supported by a professional staff and professional panel of consultants of nationally recognized stature and ability, issued a report on education in Georgia which is destined in my opinion to become one of the truly great landmarks in the history of education in our State.
The Commission devoted six months to an intensive study of educa tion at all levels from elementary to graduate and professional educa tion. It estimated growth to be expected by 1975 and indicated what must be done in the next ten years to bring our educational establish ment up to the average of the other 49 states. Our Governor has moved in an imaginative way to develop a program that would implement the recommendations of this Commission. It remains only for the General Assembly to act in a manner as decisive and imaginative as the action of the Commission and our Governor.
Mr. Speaker, the indisputable facts pointed up in the report of the Commission should be enough to trigger alarm in all citizens of our State. Consider with me for a moment just a few representative facts disclosed in the Commission's report.
1. Our State, which we pride so highly in many matters, ranks 47th (third from the bottom) in the percentage of illiteracy in its popu-

MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1964

103

lation. More than 20% of Georgia's residents in this year, 1964, are functionally illiterate.

2. Our State ranks 50th (at the very bottom) in the number of elementary and high school students who drop out before graduating. More than half of our children drop out of school before graduating from high school. This represents a shocking waste of human resources. Mr. Speaker, is this a record of which we can be proud?

3. In our State only 21% of our college-age men and women are attending College. The average for all states is about 39%. In some states 50% enroll in an institution of higher education. Is this, 21%, an accomplishment worthy of our State ?

4. In our State approximately 40% of young Georgians called up for the draft could not pass the Federal Service general education test.

Despite the advances which we have made in recent years, and the additional sums of money that have been expended, the rate of our progress in education is far too slow. At our present rate of ad vancement, it is estimated that it would take us 155 years to catch up with current national level.

Mr. Speaker, other facts, equally, if not more alarming, can be cited to describe the critical condition of education in Georgia today. These few to which I have referred should be sufficient to jolt even the most apathetic and indifferent citizen out of his complacency.

Our problem, Mr. Speaker, is complicated by a number of other fac tors which must be considered if we are to comprehend the full magni tude of the task before us. Consider with me for a moment the follow ing:

1. The next few years will witness a great increase in enrollments in our schools and colleges at all levels. It is estimated that enrollment in higher education will more than double by 1970. In this connection, I think it is important for us to note that great increases in college and university enrollment in recent years have come from a college-age population that is not substantially larger than that of 10 to 15 years ago. While our percentage is still low, the proportion of young people going on to college has been increasing for the past 20 or 30 years. In a few years, the college age population is expected to expand rapidly bringing about an almost overwhelming jump in enrollment in a matter of a few years. This will pose a crisis not only for our colleges and universities, but for our young people and their families. If these young people are to have an opportunity for an education, there must be more and better teachers and professors, and enlarged facilities.

2. Another factor complicating the problem is the great need for more and better graduate and professional education. Our graduate school capacity must be greatly expanded in order to meet the needs of the present and the future. We must find ways of inducing larger

104

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

numbers of our more talented young men and women to remain in college for graduate study after getting their first degree. In this connection, Mr. Speaker, it is important for us to realize that graduate and professional education comes at a higher cost than undergraduate. It should be clear that to educate a doctoral candidate in nuclear physics as well as in many other fields, we get into costs that are very high. But, if we are to meet the problem facing us, we must increase the output of our graduate schools. And if we are to provide a staff of teachers and professors needed on all levels in the present and in the future, we must create conditions which make public school teaching and university and college teaching attractive to our more talented young men and women. While adequate compensation is not the only factor which contributes to the attractiveness of school and college teaching, it is probably the most important.

The salary situation, Mr. Speaker, in the public schools and in the colleges and universities of Georgia remains critical.

The State of Georgia cannot afford to present a picture of apathy and indifference in the face of the critical situation which confronts us. A sound educational establishment is today basic to all our efforts as a state.

The vigor and vitality of our free institutions and our democratic processes depends more than ever on education.

The development of every individual's highest potentialities, an article of faith for over a century in our country, depends more than ever on education. The importance of good education, universally avail able, has also been a basic article of our faith.
Education today has especially become an indispensable condition of further economic progress for our State. There has been a new recognition of the fundamental importance of educational development to economic growth, productivity, per capita income, and general ad vancement. Education is recognized widely today as the best weapon with which to increase our productivity, to relieve unemployment, to raise per capita income, to combat juvenile crime and delinquency, and to promote progress in most fields of endeavor.
We must remember that ours is an age of science, technology, and research. Our society of today needs highly trained and educated men, and a large number of them, to handle our modern technology. The occupational structure of society is changing. The number of jobs re quiring a high level of educational preparation is increasing rapidly while the number of unskilled labor jobs are decreasing rapidly. The proportion of high status jobs is increasing at the expense of lowstatus jobs. Education is becoming not the exclusive avenue of entrance into the professions of law, medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, teaching, etc., but to a greater and greater number of other occupations and careers. By 1970, it is estimated that the number of graduate and professional and technical jobs in our economy will almost double. There is no assurance today that we will have in Georgia the educated personnel to man the economy of our State in the near future.

MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1964

105

Thus, even in terms of our economy, and our self-interest, the failure on our part to act could have disastrous consequences for all of us. Moreover, we must remember that education is primarily the responsibility of the state governments. Responsibility for public ele mentary and secondary education has been shared by the states with local units. Are our State and local governments filling their responsi bility in this vital matter? We hear many voices decrying the gradual building up of power in the federal government. Is not this partially because of the failure on the part of our State and local governments to adequately discharge their duty? Do we not encourage further federal centralization when we fail to act in situations such as the one before us now? If we fail to provide adequate educational facilities and opportunities for our young men and women, then we may expect people to demand that the federal government in Washington assume this responsibility. We are to pursue the easy course and pass the responsibility to someone else ? Perhaps here, in the field of education, is where the failure of state and local governments is most evident today.

The State of Georgia must move to close the gap between the educational resources we now have and those we must have in order to continue our progress. Greater resources on both the local and state level must be devoted to educational purposes. The development of every individual's highest talents and potentialities, the well-being of our communities and our State at large, the demands of our democratic institutions and processes, the practical needs of our economic system, . the integrity of our state and local governments, and our prestige and stature as a State, all combine to afford us the best possible justification for the expenditure of additional tax money for education. Such ex penditures will at once constitute an investment in our young people, in our democracy, in the growth of our state's economy, and in our State Government.

"The only thing more expensive than education is ignorance."

The foundation of every state is its education of its youth." (Dio genes) Leaders over the nation join in proclaiming that "education is a good investment." They mean this literally--that the"yield", the "return", the "dividends" on educational expenditures measured in terms of economic output, per capita income, etc. is high. In addition to the economic payoff, of course, our investment in education will return us other important dividends in promoting individual selfrealization, in strengthening our democracy, in promoting and enrich ing the values which underlie our society.

We must not let disagreements over means blind us to our goals and responsibilities. We cannot allow differences about such things as tax measures divide us to the point that we do not support the program. Let us plan together, let us mediate, let us compromise our differences--and get along with the job of catching up and forging
ahead.

Mr. Speaker, this is our hour of decision--our moment of truth. I urge that all elements of our State--the legislature, the executive

106

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

department, the Board of Regents, the State Department of Education, representatives of agriculture, business and industry, education, par ents, and citizens in all walks of life--join together in "a new partner ship" to support the master plan for education so that we may move to construct a better Georgia for our youth. Thank you.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT ATLANTA
April 22, 1963
Honorable George T. Smith Speaker of House of Representatives State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mr. Speaker:
Pursuant to the provisions of Article V, Section I, Paragraph XV of the Constitution of Georgia, the following Bills enacted at the 1963 Session of the General Assembly of Georgia were vetoed by me for the reasons set forth below:
HB 167--by Mr. Wells of Camden County, was vetoed for the rea son that the bill was unconstitutional on its face in that it purported to authorize and empower the City of St. Marys, Georgia, to borrow the sum of $37,000.00 from the First Federal Savings and Loan Associa tion of Brunswick. In my opinion, this bill violated Article VII, Section VII, Paragraph I of the Constitution of this State. Honorable Nolan Wells, author of this Bill, concurred and requested that the same be vetoed.
HR 47-107--by Messrs. Overby and Williams of Hall County, authorizing and directing the State Librarian to furnish certain law

138

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

books to the Judge of the Superior Court of Hall County was vetoed for the reason that there is no provision in the law for furnishing law books to individual judge's chambers for circuit judges who receive copies directly upon publication of a new volume. If this Bill had been signed, other circuit judges could likewise request volumes of law books for their libraries. This would cost at least $37,000.00 annually and would, in my opinion, set a bad precedent.

HB 642--by Mr. Smith of Forsyth County, creating a one member Commissioner of Roads and Revenues for Forsyth County was vetoed at the request of the author, Honorable A. C. Smith of Forsyth County.
HB 467--by Mr. Rhodes of Baker County, placing the Clerk of the Superior Court and Ordinary of Baker County on a salary in lieu of the fee system of compensation was vetoed at the request of the author, Honorable Jimmy Rhodes of Baker County.
HB 352--by Mr. Lee of Clinch County, providing that it shall be unlawful to own, possess, use, maintain or operate pinball machines or similar machines in the State of Georgia was vetoed for the reasons given in the attached statement.
HB 35--by the legislative delegation from Fulton County, amending an Act providing for the coverage of certain officers and employees of political subdivisions of the State under the Old Age and Survivors Insurance and relating to the State Board of Education was vetoed for the reason that another Act, HB 140, by Representative Melton of Spalding County, amended the same section of the law as did the Act in question (HB 35). This Bill was vetoed after consultation with Honorable Ed Sterne, Assistant City Attorney for the City of Atlanta, who prepared such Bill for the Fulton delegation.
HB 134--by Mr. Hill of Meriwether County, amending an Act providing and establishing a charter for the City of Woodbury, in the County of Meriwether, was vetoed for the reason that the same was unconstitutional in that it did not comply with notice of intention to seek local legislation as provided in the Constitution (Article III, Sec tion VII, Paragraph XV) according to existing decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia. This Bill was vetoed after consultation with the author.

HB 152--by Mr. Busbee of Dougherty County and others, authoriz ing the Boards of Education of all Counties of this State to insure the lives and health of all teachers and other employees of such boards of education, and authorizing such boards to pay the premiums to main tain such insurance was vetoed at the request of the author and after consultation with him. The Bill was also unconstitutional in that it violated the provisions of Article VII, Section IV, Paragraph I (3) of the Constitution according to existing decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia.

HB 337--by Mr. Fowler of Douglas, amending an Act creating a new Charter for the City of Douglasville was vetoed for the reason

TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1964

139

that the same was unconstitutional in that it did not comply with notice of intention to seek local legislation as provided in the Constitution (Article III, Section VII, Paragraph XV) according to existing decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia. This Bill was vetoed after consulta
tion with the author.

HB 361--by Messrs. Clark and Tucker of Catoosa County, repeal ing certain laws relating to duties of Clerks of Superior Courts and compensation paid for such duties was vetoed for the reason that the same was unconstitutional in that it did not comply with notice of in tention to seek local legislation as provided in the Constitution (Article III, Section VII, Paragraph XV) according to existing decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia. This Bill was vetoed after consultation with the authors.

HB 414--by Messrs. Branch and Alien of Tift County, repealing the Charter of the City of Tifton and providing for a new Charter for the City of Tifton so as to provide that the minimum age of voting
shall be 18 years was vetoed for the reason that the same was uncon stitutional in that it did not comply with notice of intention to seek local legislation as provided in the Constitution (Article III, Section VII, Paragraph XV) according to existing decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia. This Bill was vetoed after consultation with the authors.

HB 518--by Mr. Smith of Grady County and others, providing that it shall be unlawful to display any sign or emblem purporting to convey the impression that the owner thereof is a member of the Governor's Staff without written permission was vetoed at my instance. This was an administrative measure.

HB 534--by Messrs. Pickard, Dicus and Jones of Muscogee County, authorizing the City of Columbus and Muscogee County to appropriate and pay into the Health Fund of the County Board of Health all or any part of said budget as to the Commission of the City of Columbus and the Board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenues of Muscogee County is deemed meet and proper was vetoed for the reason that the same was unconstitutional in that it did not comply with notice of intention to seek local legislation as provided in the Constitution (Article III, Section VII, Paragraph XV) according to existing decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia. This Bill was vetoed after consultation with the authors.

HB 602--by Mr. Herndon of Appling County and others, amending an Act known as the "Minimum Foundation Program for Education Act", as amended, so as to give each county school board certain au thority in the matter of consolidating schools was vetoed by me for the reason that the same was unconstitutional in the opinion of the Attorney General as per copy of his Opinion attached hereto.

HB 638--by Mr. Floyd of Chattooga County and others, amending an Act relating to the reports of the State Auditor, so as to provide the time for furnishing copies to the members of the General Assembly

140

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

was vetoed for the reason that the present appropriation made by the General Assembly to the Department of Audits makes it impossible for this Department to employ the additional staff necessary to comply with the terms and provisions of this Bill. Its estimated cost, for which no appropriation was made, is seventy-five to one hundred thousand dol lars.

With kindest personal regards, I am

Sincerely,

CARL E. SANDERS Governor

CES rag-

April 15, 1963
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
After careful study and consideration, executive approval has been withheld from House Bill No. 352 enacted at the 1963 session of the General Assembly.
This measure was finally presented as one which would authorize coin operated bowling games, shuffle alleys, baseball games, etc., and which would prohibit pin-ball games and other so-called gambling devices. Its effect, however, is to permit certain types of pin-ball games.
The author of the original Bill telegraphed me on March 20, 1963, in part, as follows:
"The intention of House Bill 352 was to make them illegal and prohibit them entirely in the State of Georgia. However the Bill as now amended and in your best judgment it is your opinion that this Bill would have harmful and moral effect or make any form of gambling legal in the State of Georgia. You would most assuredly have my full endorsement to veto this Bill in its entirety."
A careful analysis of House Bill No. 352 leads me to the firm con clusion that it would have the effect of the State of Georgia legalizing, sanctioning and licensing a certain class of devices which would lend themselves readily to gambling, namely, pin-ball machines. This, in my opinion, would have harmful and moral effect in our State. It would be deleterious to our youth and damaging to the general public welfare.
This conclusion is reached and further reinforced by the proviso in Section 2 (b) which states "... that no such device shall be located or operated within 1000 feet of any grammar or high school ground or campus."

TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1964

141

Many, many people all over Georgia, citizens, clergy and others have communicated with me, expressing themselves as greatly disturbed about the portents of this Bill and have voiced the strongest possible
protest to its becoming law.

This Bill seeks to exclude pin-ball games from the prohibition against gambling devices in this State. It is a direct outgrowth of a ruling by the State Court of Appeals at its September Term that a "Pin-ball machine" constitutes "... a scheme or device for the hazard ing of money or a valuable thing . . ."

In this case, 106 GA. APPEALS, p. 663, CARLISLE, Presiding Judge, described the property condemned as "... a certain pin-ball ma chine ... a device being operated in a public place by which the patron can, by inserting a nickel coin in a slot, secure three balls which can then be shot by a plunger; that if certain bumpers are struck by the balls, or if the balls go into certain holes on the board, the patron secures a score registered on the front of the machine; that if the score obtained by the patron is of a certain value free games registeron the scoreboard of the machine and the patron thereby obtains from one to twenty free games . . ."

Commenting specifically on the question of the operator receiving from one to twenty free games, the Court said: "It matters not that the value of the thing hazarded is small or infinitesimal if in fact it does have some value. The device described in the petition in this case permits the patron, when he obtains the required score, to have the amusement of playing the game from one to twenty additional times without cost whereas the ordinary cost of playing the game and par taking of this amusement is five cents. What is given is certainly a thing of value and the machine was subject to condemnation under the statute."
House Bill No. 352 is an attempt by description to exclude "pinball games" from the provisions of Section 26-6508 and also from the prohibitions of Section 26-2502 which provides that "Any person who, either by himself or another, shall keep, maintain, employ, or carry on any lottery or other scheme or device for the hazarding of any money or valuable thing, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."

The General Assembly of Georgia in 1877 enunciated the public policy of this State in prohibiting all types of gambling devices. That policy still stands. I am firmly against changing it in any particular. It cannot be changed through a measure not clear in its effects and not reasonably uniform in its application. Any attempt so to do would constitute an unwarranted encroachment upon the constitutional powers of the judiciary to interpret the laws and, as I have stated, would be harmful to the public interest.
For all of these reasons, I have today vetoed the same.

CARL E. SANDERS Governor

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

THE DEPARTMENT OF LAW STATE OF GEORGIA ATLANTA

April 17, 1963

Honorable Carl E. Sanders Governor, State of Georgia State Capital Atlanta 3, Georgia Dear Governor Sanders:

I am pleased to acknowledge receipt of and answer your letter wherein you request an official opinion regarding the constitutionality of House Bill No. 602.

House Bill 602 amends the Minimum Foundation Program for Education Act (Ga. L. 1949, p. 1406), as amended, hy adding at the end of Section 11 thereof the following language:

"Whenever, in their opinion, an emergency exists in respect to the placement of pupils in any county school system, in the matter of the consolidation of schools, the County Board of Educa tion or any other authority governing education in a county shall have the power and the sole authority to determine the location of any school for which funds have been provided under the provisions of this Act."

Prior to enactment of the Minimum Foundation Program for Edu cation Act in 1949, the State of Georgia did not provide any State funds for the purpose of participating in the cost of construction of school buildings by local units of school administration. Section 11 of the Minimum Foundation Program for Education Act provided for allot ment of capital outlay funds by the State to local units of school administration. It provides that the State Board of Education shall determine the amount of capital outlay funds needed by local units of school administration for school building purposes, and that it shall be the duty of the State Board of Education to establish minimum standards to be met by local units in order to qualify for participation in capital outlay funds and provide advisory and supervisory services to local units regarding the expenditure of such funds.

The capital outlay provisions of Section 11 of the subject Act were funded commencing with the 1951-1952 school year. At that time the State Board of Education established minimum standards to be met by local units in order to participate in the receipt of such funds. These minimum standards related generally to the nature and quality of schoolhouses to be constructed under this program, teacher-pupil ratios, number of pupils to be in average daily attendance at the subject schools, and consolidation of small schools into larger units of operation. Based upon such standards, needs of local units of administration did at that time submit proposed school building and school consolidation programs to the State Board of Education for approval, to include

TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1964

143

proposals regarding the location of such school buildings, pupils to be placed therein, and the consolidation of small schools. Within due course, the State Board of Education approved proposals of local units of administration and the State Board and the individual local boards of education entered into a contractual arrangement providing for the allotment of capital outlay funds over an extended period of time for the construction of schoolhouses and consolidation of schools in ac cordance with the proposals submitted by the local boards and approved by the State Board.

Under the first school building program initiated in 1951, and the second school building program initiated in 1960, approximately two hundred sixty-eight million dollars in capitalized State capital outlay funds have been utilized in the accomplishment of these programs. The construction of schoolhouses provided for under these programs has now been completed. In a number of instances, however, local units of school administration have failed to consolidate schools and pupils in the schoolhouses constructed under these programs in accordance with the terms of such contracts. As a result, many of the school facilities provided under these programs are not being fully utilized, or are not being utilized in the manner provided for under the terms of such contracts.

The over-all State school building program discussed above has been accomplished by virtue of the provisions of Section 11 of the Minimum Foundation Program for Education Act, and the contracts entered into by and between the State Board of Education, local boards of education, and the State School Building Authority. House Bill 602 adds the above quoted language to the capital outlay provisions of law contained in Section 11 of said Act. Due to the fact that the subject proposed amendment to Section 11 of said Act contains the language, "for which funds have been provided under the provisions of this Act", I am of the opinion that the obvious purpose and intent of this proposed amendment is to vest in county boards of education power and sole
authority respecting consolidation of such schools and placement of
such pupils, and hence use of such new schoolhouses in these respects,
notwithstanding the provisions of the existing contracts referred to
above. It is likewise obvious that the proposed amendment to Section
II of said Act is clearly intended to be retrospective in nature, retro
active in application, and is not capable of being construed as being
prospective in nature.

Article I, Section III, Paragraph II of the Georgia Constitution (Ga. Code, Ann., Section 2-302) provides:

"No Bill of Attainder, ex post facto law, retroactive law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or making irrevocable grant of special privileges or immunities, shall be passed."

By reason of the foregoing facts, and the above quoted provision of the Georgia Constitution, I am of the opinion that House Bill 602

144

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

is a retroactive law, a law impairing the obligations of existing con tracts, and is therefore unconstitutional.

With kind personal regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

EUGENE COOK The Attorney General

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, THE SENATE CONCURRING, that the Gen eral Assembly of Georgia hereby requests Congressman Vinson to reconsider his decision, in view of the role he has played and can continue to play as liberty's champion, and if his health permits and his personal desires would not thereby be defeated, to again offer for re-election as Congressman for the Sixth Congressional District of Georgia.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a committee of five, three members of the House and two members of the Senate, be appointed to convey this Resolution to Mr. Vinson.

The Speaker appointed as a Committee on the part of the House:

"Whenever a purchaser of tangible personal property under subsection (a), or a lessee or rentee of such property under subsec tion (c), or a purchaser of tangible services under subsection (e), does not pay the tax imposed hereunder upon him to the retailer, lessor, or rentor, as the case may be, involved in the taxable trans action, such purchaser, lessee or rentee, shall thereupon himself be a dealer as defined hereunder, and the State Revenue Commis sioner whenever he has reason to believe that a purchaser or lessee has not so paid such tax shall have authority to assess and collect the tax imposed thereunder directly against and from such pur chaser, lessee, or rentee, unless such purchaser, lessee, or rentee can show that the retailer, lessor, or rentor involved in the trans action has nevertheless remitted to the State Revenue Commissioner the tax imposed on the transaction. If payment is received directly from the purchaser it shall not be collected a second time from the retailer, lessor or rentor involved."

Section 2. Said Act is further amended by adding after the first two words of the first sentence of Subsection (b) of Section 3 the fol lowing words: "the sale, rendition, performance, furnishing, or purchase or receipt of any services taxable under this Act, and", and further by adding at the end of said Subsection (b) the following sentence: "The purchase, rendition and receipt of services under this Act shall be presumed to be valuable and for a consideration until the contrary is shown.", so that when so amended Subsection (b) of Section 3 shall read as follows:

"(b) 'Sale' means the sale, rendition, performance, furnishing or purchase or receipt of any services taxable under this Act and any transfer or title of possession, or both, exchange, barter, lease or rental, conditional or otherwise, in any manner or by any means whatsoever of tangible personal property for a consideration, and includes the fabrication of tangible personal property for con sumers who furnish, either directly or indirectly, the materials used in fabrication work, and the furnishing, repairing, or serving for a consideration of any tangible personal property consumed on the premises of the person furnishing, preparing, or serving such tangi-

Section 3. Said Act is further amended by striking the first paragraph of Paragraph 1 of Subsection (c) of Section 3 in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new first paragraph of Paragraph 1 of Subsection (c) of Section 3, to read as follows:

"1. A sale to a consumer or to any person for any purpose other than for resale in the form of tangible personal property, or services taxable under this Act, shall mean and include any such transactions as the State Revenue Commissioner, upon investiga tion, finds to be in lieu of sales. It shall also mean a sale or rendi tion to repurchase or receipt by a consumer for himself or for his benefit, directly or indirectly, of any services taxable under this Act. Provided, that sales for resale must be made under strict compliance with rules and regulations."

Section 8. Said Act is further amended by adding at the end of Subparagraph (e) of paragraph 3 of Subsection (c) of Section 3 the following sentence: "It shall also mean the receipt of any of the services taxable under this Act.", so that when so amended the said Subpara graph (e) shall read as follows:

It shall also include those services taxable under paragraph 1 of Subsection (c) of Section 3 of this Act.

"(1) The term 'consumer' means any person, whether regularly engaged in a business or not, who purchases, receives, uses or con sumes any tangible personal property or any of the services taxable under this Act in this State or who holds, retains, or stores any tangible personal property for distribution, use or consumption

"Section 4. (a) The aforesaid tax at the rate of three per cent (3%) of the retail sales price, as of the moment of sale, or three per cent (3%) of the cost price, as of the moment of pur chase, or three per cent (3%) of the reasonable value, as of the moment of rendition, as the case may be, shall be collectible from all persons engaged as dealers as hereinafter defined, in the sale at retail, the use, the consumption, the distribution, or the storage for use or consumption in this State, of tangible personal property, and in the rendition of and receipt of services taxable under this Act.

"7. Maintains or has within this State, directly or by a sub sidiary, an office, distributing house, sales room, or house, ware house, or other place of business.

"8. Solicits business either by representatives or by the dis tribution of catalogs or other advertising matter and by reason thereof receives and accepts orders from consumers in the State of Georgia, and such dealer shall collect the tax imposed by this Act from the purchaser and no action either in law or in equity on a sale or transaction as provided by the terms of this Act may be had in this State by any such dealer unless it be affirmatively shown that the provisions of this Act have been fully complied with.

"9. Renders, performs for or furnishes to another person any of the services taxable under this Act.

"10. Receives for himself or for his benefit, directly or indi rectly, any of the services taxable under this Act.

"(c) Every dealer, as defined herein, making sales whether within or outside the State, of tangible personal property, for dis tribution, storage, use or other consumption, in this State, and every dealer rendering any of the services taxable under this Act, whether within or outside the State, the benefit of which is to be received in this State by a consumer, shall at the time of making such sales, or at the time of rendering such services, collect the tax imposed by this Act from the purchaser, recipient or consumer of such tangible personal property or such services.
"(d) On all tangible personal property imported, or caused to be imported from other States or foreign country, and used by him, the 'dealer' as thus defined, shall pay the tax imposed by this Act on all articles of tangible personal property so imported and used, the same as if the said articles had been sold at retail for use or consumption in this State. For the purposes of this Act, the use, or consumption, or distribution, or storage to be used or consumed in this State of tangible personal property shall each be equivalent to a sale at retail, and the tax shall thereupon be immediately levied and collected in the manner provided herein: Provided, there shall be no duplication of the tax in any event.
"(e) It is not the intention of this Act to levy a tax upon arti cles of tangible personal property imported into this State or pro duced or manufactured in this State for export, the repairing or storage of such property in the State for use in another State, nor is it the intention of this Act to levy a tax on bona fide interstate commerce. It is, however, the intention of this Act to levy a tax on the sale at retail, the use, the consumption, the distribution, and the storage to be used or consumed in this State of tangible personal property after it has come to rest in this State and has become a part of the mass of property in this State.
"(f) It is also the intention of this Act to levy a tax upon the receipt of services taxable under this Act by a consumer in this

242

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

State whether rendered within or outside this State; where services taxable under this Act are rendered, whether within or outside this State, and benefit therefrom is received by the consumer in several states or foreign countries including this State, the total sales price, charge, commission, or reasonable value of such services shall be fairly apportioned, by such method as the State Revenue Com missioner may prescribe, among the several states or foreign coun tries including this State, and the tax imposed by this Act shall apply only to the portion thereof fairly attributable to the receipt of benefit by the consumer from such services in this State. The benefit from services taxable under this Act renderd to a consumer, resident or engaging in any business activity within this State, is presumed to be received by that consumer within this State until the contrary is shown.

"(g) The payment by a purchaser, user, recipient, or con sumer of tangible personal property or of services taxable under this Act to a person defined herein as a dealer of the tax imposed under this Act shall absolve such purchaser, user, recipient or consumer from any further liability therefor. But where such pur chaser, user, recipient or consumer has not, for any reason, made payment of the tax imposed under this Act, such purchaser, user, recipient or consumer shall himself be responsible to make such payment of the tax imposed under this Act directly to the State Revenue Commissioner and shall in every way be, and be dealt with as a dealer under the terms of this Act."
Section 12. Said Act is further amended by striking from para graph 3 of Section 4 (a), added by an amendatory Act approved March 3, 1955 (Ga. Laws 1955, p. 389), the following words: "and if labor and other charges are not separated from the rental charge, the person so contracting shall be liable to collect a sales tax on the entire contract price", and substituting in lieu thereof the words: "including labor and other charges", so that when so amended the third paragraph of Section 4 (a) shall read as follows:
"Any person who contracts, either orally, in writing, or by purchase order, to perform any service, and the principal part of that service is the furnishing of the machinery which will not be under the exclusive control of the contractor, shall be liable to collect a sales tax on the rental value of the machine so used, in cluding labor and other charges."
Section 13. Said Act is further amended by adding the following words at the end of the last sentence of Section 5: "or for incorporation into a service taxable under this Act", so that when so amended Section 5 shall read as follows:
"Section 5. Be it further enacted, by the authority aforesaid, that all gross sales of a retailer are subject to the tax until the contrary is established. The burden of proving that a sale of tangi ble personal property is not a sale at retail is upon the person who makes the sale unless he takes from the purchaser a certificate to the effect that the property is purchased for resale or for in corporation into a service taxable under this Act."

FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1964

243

Section 14. Said Act is further amended by striking Section 6 in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new Section 6 to read as follows:
"Section 6. The certificate relieves the seller from the burden of proof only if taken in good faith from a person who is engaged in the business of selling tangible personal property or who is rendering services taxable under this Act and who holds the permit provided for in this Act and who, at the time of purchasing the tangible personal property, intends to sell it in the regular course of business or to incorporate it into a service taxable under this Act, or is unable to ascertain at the time of purchase whether the prop erty will be sold or incorporated into a service taxable under this Act or will be used for some other purpose."
Section 15. Said Act is further amended by adding between the word "business" and the word "the" of the first sentence of Section 8 the following words: "or for incorporation into a service taxable under this Act", and also by adding between the word "by" and the word "the" of the first sentence of said Section 8 the following words "and to", so that when so amended Section 8 shall read as follows:
"Section 8. If a purchaser who gives a certificate makes any use of the property other than retention, demonstration, or display while holding it for sale in the regular course of business or for incorporation into a service taxable under this Act, the use shall be deemed a retail sale by and to the purchaser as of the time the property is first used by him, and the cost of the property to him shall be deemed the gross receipts from such retail sale. If the sole use of the property other than retention, demonstration, or display in the regular course of business is the rental of the property while holding it for sale, the purchaser may elect to include in his gross receipts the amount of the rental charged rather than the cost of the property to him."
Section 16. Said Act is further amended by inserting in the first sentence of Section 10 between the word "State" and the word "upon" the following words: "or to the rendition or receipt of services taxable under this Act", so that when so amended Section 10 shall read as follows:
"Section 10. The provisions of this Act shall not apply in re spect to the use or consumption, or distribution, or storage of tan gible personal property for use or consumption in this State, or to the rendition or receipt of services taxable under this Act, upon which a like tax equal to or greater than the amount imposed by this Act has been paid in another State, the proof of payment of such tax to be according to rules and regulations made by the Commissioner. If the amount of the tax paid in another State is not equal to or greater than the amount of tax imposed by this Act, then the dealer shall pay to the Commissioner an amount sufficient to make the tax paid in the other State and in this State equal to the amount imposed by this Act. No credit shall be given under this Section for taxes paid in another State if that State does not grant like credit for taxes paid in Georgia."

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Representative Hall, Atlanta, Georgia Thursday, February 6, 1964

The House met pursuant to adjournment at 12:30 o'clock p.m., this day and was called to order by the Speaker.
The following prayer was offered by Rev. Charles W. Drake, Central Bap tist Church, Gainesville, Georgia.
0 God, Our Father, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, help Thy servants here assembled to recognize and to follow Thy guidance in every decision they make today. May no one be guided by selfish or sectarian motives but all be guided by Thy Spirit for the good of all the citizens of our dear State of Georgia. May each one do what he should do individually as well as collectively.
Our Father, the hour of destiny seems to have arrived. The voice of Thy loving providence rings louder than all the clamoring voices about us saying "Go Forward". Help us each and all to put on the whole armour of God that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Help these men, along with our Governor and every man in places of responsibility to withstand all dis honest practices, all evil philosophies and all wrong tactics of the devil. Help them to stand true to Thee whether anyone else does or not. Undergird them with wisdom from on High. Protect them from the onslaughts of evil criticisms. Support them with Thy presence. Give them the courage of Christian convictions. Give them the moral fortitude to do that which is right.
Bless in the deliberations of this day. May thy will be done here, and may Thy program be carried out above party and personality, beyond time and cir cumstance, for the good of our fair Land and the peace of the world. Through Jesus Christ our Lord.--Amen.
By unanimous consent the call of the roll was dispensed with.
Mr. Clarke of Monroe, Chairman of the Committee on Auditing, Enrolling, Engrossing and Journals reported that the Journal of the previous legislative day had been read and found to be correct.

"(b) In addition thereto, charge, contract for, receive or collect at the time the loan is made, a fee in an amount not greater than 8 percent of the first $600.00 of the face amount of the contract, plus 4 percent of the excess; provided, however, that such fee shall not be charged or collected on that part of a loan which is used to pay or apply on a prior loan, or installment of a prior loan from the same licensee to the same borrower made within the immediately preceding 6 months period; provided, however, if the loan balance is $100.00 or less, the said period shall be 2 months, not 6 months; provided, further, that nothing contained in Subsections 15(a) and 15(b) shall be construed to permit charges, interest or fees of any nature whatsoever in the aggregate in excess of the charges, interest and fees which would constitute a violation of Section 57-117 of the Code of Georgia of 1933 and the repeals here inafter set forth in this Act shall in no wise affect Section 57-117 and Section 57-9901 of the Code of Georgia of 1933. If a borrower prepays his entire loan to a licensee and within the following 15 days makes a new loan with that licensee, (and if this is done within the 6 months period or the 2 months period above described, as may be applicable), the fee may be charged only on the excess by which the face amount of the new contract exceeds the amount which the borrower repaid to that licensee within the said 15-day period."

February 11, 1964
Honorable George T. Smith Speaker, House of Representatives State of Georgia State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mr. Smith:
Through you, I wish to express to the House of Representatives, my admiration and my appreciation for the participation of the House in the Basketball Game February 10, for the benefit of The Heart Fund.
My admiration is for the unselfish public interest evidenced by this heroic effort, for the most spirited bi-cameral athletic competition it has ever been my privilege to witness, and for the resounding and well-deserved victory that was the House's. It is difficult to say which was the more impressive--the rugged play in which Representatives literally gave of themselves (several pounds in some cases) without the loss of a single pair of shorts (and thus singlehandedly made all those shots)--or the commendable support supplied by the cheering section, in which I saw with my own eyes one dedicated member whose vigorous activity reduced "her from a 48" Extra Large type to the proportions of a rather skinny male, and another who will undoubtedly require major surgery to correct her dislocations.
My appreciation is personal, as a citizen, and official on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Georgia Heart Association and the people of this State, for the contribution of this effort to the fight against our No. 1 health problem and our biggest killer. You have done far more than raise money for this cause, you have given it of ficial recognition and invaluable public attention.
You may be interested in the following quotations from a Procla mation of Governor Carl E. Sanders, ". . . heart disease is the greatest killer of the Twentieth Century, taking more than 18,000 Georgians each year . . . the voluntary support and participation by Georgia citizens has placed Georgia in the forefront of the fight against heart disease with the first Heart Clinic System for indigent patients, the first statewide Rheumatic Fever Prevention Program, the first statewide Program of Stroke Rehabilitation and the first Chairs of Heart Re search in the nation; . . ."

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1964

1235

As far as I know, the annual House-Senate Basketball Game is another first for the State of Georgia, and an admirable one.

I hope time will permit the extension of this expression to all Representatives.

Respectfully, Richard Horsey, 1964 State Heart Fund Co-Chairman.

RH:ad
cc: Governor Carl E. Sanders Peyton S. Hawes, State Heart Fund Co-Chairman.

1254

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

system of pensions and other benefits for members of fire departments in cities of a certain population, and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

SB 209. (Com. Sub.)
An Act to amend an Act approved August 13, 1924 (Ga. L. 1924, p. 167 et seq.) and the several Acts amendatory thereof, providing a system of pensions and other benefits for members of paid fire departments in cities having a population of more than 150,000 as disclosed by the United States census of 1920, or any subsequent census, so as to pro vide additional pension benefits for members of paid fire departments of such cities; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia and it is hereby enacted by authority of the same that the Act approved August 13, 1924 (Ga. Laws 1924, pp. 167-173), providing a system of pensions and other benefits for members of paid fire departments in cities having a population of more than 150,000 by the United States census of 1920, and any subsequent census, and the several Acts amendatory thereof, be and the same is hereby further amended, as follows:
SECTION 1
(a) Any member of the fire department that has qualified as a fire fighter or is subject to fire fighting duties coming under the terms of this Act who is in the employment of the city prior to the effective date of this amendment may elect to come under the provisions of this amendment by making written application to the pension board. The applicant must agree in writing to accept the benefits and obliga tions of this amendment, in lieu of other pension benefits and obliga tions under this Act, as amended. Any member of the fire department in the employment of the city on the effective date of this Act who is covered under the terms of this Act as amended prior to this amend ment but who does not qualify as a fire fighter or is not subject to fire fighting duties shall not be allowed to come under the provisions of this amendment but shall have their rights and obligations determined under this Act as it existed prior to this amendment or shall be allowed to transfer to the General Employees Pension Fund as it now exists.
All such members of the fire department in the employment of the city on the effective date of this Act who qualify as a fire fighter or are subject to fire fighting duties but who do not in writing agree to accept the benefits and obligations of this amendment shall have their rights and obligations determined under this Act as it existed prior to this amendment.
All regular members of the fire department of the city, eligible for participation in this Act as amended who shall be elected or employed after the effective date of this Act, shall be required to come under

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1964

1255

the provisions of this Act, as now amended, and shall have all rights and duties provided in the amended Act.

This amendment and the election to accept its benefits shall be predicated upon an acknowledgement that the General Assembly in adopting this amendment reserved the right to further amend said Act and to reduce the benefits provided hereunder not to exceed the primary insurance amount he will be eligible to receive in the event the members of the fire department of such city should ever qualify and accept the benefits under the Federal O.A.S.I. program by reason of their employment by such city. Provided further, that the benefits of this Act, as amended, shall in no event be reduced more than the primary insurance amount received from Federal O.A.S.I. program as a con sequence of participation in said Federal O.A.S.I. program. Provided, further, that the benefits of this Act, as amended, shall in no event be reduced as a consequence of participation in said Federal O.A.S.I. pro gram below the benefits as same existed prior to the enactment of this amendment.

(b) All members of the fire department, who shall elect to come under the terms of this amendment, must attain the age of fifty-five (55) years and shall have served 25 years, before being eligible to retire and receive the benefits, as provided by this amendment; pro vided, however, that any member of the fire department who has served twenty-five (25) years and who has attained the age of fifty (50) years may elect to retire on a reduced pension, said reduction to be onetwelfth (1/12) of three percent (3%) per month for each month the member of the fire department lacks in being fifty-five (55) years of age; provided, further, that the provisions of this section as to age limit shall not apply to any person claiming a pension by reason of total and permanent disability.

(c) When such member of the fire department shall retire as a matter of right, he shall be paid thereafter a monthly pension equal to two percent (2%) of his monthly (base and service) earnings, multiplied by his years of creditable service, up to and including twentyfive (25) years, and one and one-half percent (1%%) of his monthly (base and service) earnings multiplied by the number of full years of creditable service in excess of twenty-five (25) years of creditable service. Monthly earnings shall be the average of the highest five (5) years (base and service) salary during the term of employment.

(d) In no event shall the total pension benefits payable under this amendment, plus any primary insurance amount under the Federal O.A.S.I. program that may inure to any member of the fire department coming under the provisions of this amendment, by reason of his employment by such city, exceed 75% of the average monthly (base & service) salary used in computing the pension benefits under the terms of this amendment or $500.00 per month, whichever is less. Pro vided, however, that whenever monthly earnings as defined in this amendment, multiplied by years of creditable service at the time of retirement or death shall entitle any member of the fire department coming under the provisions of this amendment to a pension in excess of the maximum pension allowable hereunder, said member of the fire department or, beneficiary in case of death of said member, shall

1256

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

be refunded all contributions made by him on monthly earnings in excess of monthly earnings necessary to arrive at the maximum pension allowable. No department head who elects to come under the provisions of this Act shall be entitled to receive any emeritus salary as provided by the governing authorities of any city coming within the provisions of this Act.

(e) Any person coming under the provisions of this amendment, either voluntarily or by compulsion, shall be entitled to all the other benefits, as set forth in the relevant sections of this Act, as amended, prior to this amendment; provided, however, that partial pensions and pensions for total and permanent disability or death shall be computed by the same formula as is used for computing service pensions in sub-section (c) above, and provided, further, that disability or death incurred in the line of duty shall be computed by the same formula as is used for computing service pensions in sub-section (c) above, or a monthly pension equal to the amount he would have been eligible to receive with thirty-five (35) years service, provided the average monthly earnings used in said computations shall not be less than the salary being paid sixth year fire fighter at the time of disability or or death, regardless of age and of years served, whichever is greater.

Pensions for widow as beneficiary designated under the terms of this Act, as amended, shall be one-half (%) of the amount the pensioner was receiving at time of death on service pensions, total and permanent disability pensions not in the line of duty, and death not in line of duty prior to eligibility for retirement, and three-fourths (%) on disability or death incurred in the line of duty with said fire department, of the amount the pensioner was receiving or would have received had he exercised his right to retire, and provided, further that the pension benefits for widow shall be continued to the minor child or children (natural or legally adopted) upon the death or remarriage of the widow until the youngest child shall have become 18 years of age. Provided, however, that in no event shall the designated beneficiary receive less than she would have received under this Act, as amended, prior to this amendment. Provided, further, that if said beneficiary of pensioner receiving service pension benefits is more than five (5) years younger than the pensioner, there shall be deducted from her pension one-twelfth (1/12) of two percent (2%) per month for each month that she is more than five (5) years younger than the pensioner; provided, however, that said reduction of one-twelfth (1/12) of two percent (2%) per month shall not apply if the beneficiary is fiftyfive (55) years or more of age at the time she becomes eligible for benefits.
(f) When any person covered by the provisions of this Act shall die as a result of injuries incurred in the line of duty, the compensation to which he would have been entitled shall be continued for one year and paid to his widow or minor children (natural or legally adopted), if no widow. Any compensation received by the member due to said injury shall be deducted from the one year's compensation herein pro vided for. At the expiration of the one year period referred to above, the pension benefits for widow shall be computed by the same formula as set forth in sub-section (e) above. The pension benefits for widow provided by this amendment shall be continued to the minor child or

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1964

1257

children (natural or legally adopted) upon the death or remarriage of the widow until the youngest child shall have become 18 years of age.

(g) Any member electing to come under this amendment shall pay into the fire department pension fund the sum of five percent (5%) of his total salary, in the event he does not provide for payment of a pension to this beneficiary, as authorized by this Act, as amended, or the sum of six percent (6%) of his total salary, in the event he does provide for the continuance of the pension to his beneficiary. Like payments shall be made from the salaries of future employees of the fire department required to come under this amendment.

(h) In addition to the payments required to be made in sub section (g) above, any member of the fire department who may become a participant under this amendment shall be entitled to all benefits and receive credit for all the years of his creditable service, provided he shall pay into the fund the sum of five percent (5%) of his total salary from the time his salary exceeded $300.00 per month, if he does not provide for the payment of a pension to a beneficiary, and the sum of six percent (6%) of his total salary from the time his salary ex ceeded $300.00 per month, if he does provide for the payment of a pension to a beneficiary. Payments previously made to the Pension Fund not exceeding the amount due the Fund shall be deducted from the total amount due in arriving at the total sum of five percent (5%) or six percent (6%).

Said total amount due may be paid at the time the member of the fire department elects to come under the terms of this amendment or in sixty (60) monthly installments from the date of his participation under this amendment, at the option of the participant to the plan. Provided, however, that the Board of Trustees of the Fund, as created under this Act, as amended, may at their discretion allow additional time for such payments to be made.

Any member of the fire department who does not elect to par ticipate under this amendment within six (6) months of the effective date of this amendment, but who later elects to participate, shall be required to pay interest at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum from the effective date of this amendment to the date he elects to participate. In the event the member of the fire department should retire or die before said payments into the Fund are completed, the secretary of the Retirement Fund is authorized to deduct the monthly payments from retirement or beneficiary benefits until the obligation is discharged.
(i) This section and the several sub-sections shall be effective the first day of the month following the passage and approval of this Act, and the payments required by sub-section (g) above, as to those then employed and electing to come under this amendment, shall begin with that date. As to those subsequently coming into the service of the fire department or subsequently electing to participate under the terms of this amendment, said payments shall begin with the employment or date of such election.

(j) In addition to the Fund derived from deductions from salaries

1258

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

and wages, as required by sub-section (g) of this amendment, it shall be the duty of the governing authorities of such cities to appropriate and pay into the Pension Fund an amount which shall be equal to the total amount of deductions from the salaries and wages paid to mem bers of the fire department of said governing authorities, including the amounts paid into said Fund by said members of the fire department for prior creditable service, as required by sub-section (h). Provided; however, such governing authorities of such cities may delay the match ing of additional contributions caused by the enactment of this amend ment to the January 1st next following the effective date of this amendment and provided, further, that said governing authorities of such cities may match the payments for prior creditable service, as provided for in sub-section (h) in annual installments over a period not to exceed twenty (20) years from the January 1st next following the effective date of this amendment. Should said Pension Fund at any time be insufficient to meet and pay the pensions due to such members of the fire department, such governing authorities shall ap propriate from current funds amounts sufficient to make up the de ficiency and deposit same into the fire department pension fund.

certain information to the State Auditor by the State Revenue Commis sioner; to authorize use of certain personnel and firms for the purposes of this Act; to provide for minimum qualifications and standards for em ployment and use of such personnel and firms; to provide for annual submission of certain digest information to the State Board of Educa tion, and to others; to provide for arbitration of disputes arising under provisions of this Act, and for selection, oath, qualifications and com pensation of arbitrators, and finality of their decision; to provide for payment of costs of arbitration; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

Section 1. The State Auditor shall establish, no later than February 1, 1965 and each year thereafter, an equalized adjusted school property tax digest for each county in the State and for the State as a whole for the preceding calendar year, excluding therefrom all real and personal property exempted from taxation for school purposes, in the following manner:

(a) Determine the locally assessed valuation of the county property tax assessment digest for the preceding calendar year, ex clusive of real and personal property exempted from taxation for school purposes and exclusive of public utility property shown on the county public utility property tax digest.

(b) Divide the sum of the locally assessed valuation of the county property tax assessment digest by the ratio of assessed value to true value of such property established by the State Auditor in accordance with provisions of subparagraph (e) of this Section.

(c) Determine the sum of the assessed valuation of the county public utility property tax digest certified to the State Revenue Commissioner for the preceding calendar year and divide said sum by the equalization ratio for such year established by the State Revenue Commissioner for the purpose of assessing public utility properties throughout the State.

(d) The total of the sums obtained through the calculations prescribed in subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Section shall be known as the equalized adjusted school property tax digest of the county for the preceding calendar year, and the sum of the equalized adjusted school property tax digest of all counties of the State

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1964

1301

combined shall be known as the equalized adjusted school property tax digest for the State as a whole.

(e) Establish, no later than January 15, 1965, and thereafter as provided herein, for each county in the State, the average ratio of assessed value to true value of county property subject to taxation for school purposes, excluding public utility property, by establish ing the ratio of assessed value to sales price for a representative num ber of parcels of real property, title to which was transferred during a preceding period of time to be determined by the State Auditor, and the average ratio of assessed value to sales price for the county as a whole based upon a representative number of usable transactions studied. The State Auditor is authorized to supplement realty sales price data available in any county with such other creditable realty value data as may be available or obtainable by the State Auditor, to include actual appraisals of real properties located in the county, and is authorized to use such value data along with realty sales price data in establishing the average ratio of assessed value to true value applicable to such county property and the equalized adjusted school property tax digest of the county. To the extent that the number of usable sales transactions available for study by the State Auditor in any county is not, in the opinion of the State Auditor, sufficient in and of itself to provide a sound basis for establishment of a cor rect average ratio of assessed value to true value applicable to such county property, the State Auditor shall obtain and use such other value data, including appraisals, as may be necessary to enable him to establish a correct average ratio of assessed value to true value for taxable property located in the county.

Section 2. The sum of the locally assessed valuation of the county property tax assessment digest of each county for the preceding calendar year, the sum of the assessed valuation of the county public utility property tax digest of each county for the preceding calendar year, and the equalization ratio for the several counties established by the State Revenue Commissioner for the purpose of assessing public utility properties throughout the State for the preceding calendar year shall, from time to time and for the purposes of subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Section 1 of this Act be certified to the State Auditor by the State Revenue Commissioner upon request of the State Auditor.

Section 3. The average ratio of assessed value to true value of county property to be established by the State Auditor for the pur poses of subparagraph (e) of Section 1 of this Act shall be established through the use of personnel or property appraisal firms qualified to perform such services and in accordance with generally accepted scientific procedures used uniformly throughout the State so as to assure uniformity of criteria for valuation of properties throughout the State. The State Auditor is authorized to employ or contract with such personnel and property appraisal firms for performance of the services required by this Act. In order to be qualified to perform services required by this Act, such personnel or appraisal firm shall be required to meet the minimum qualifications and standards estab lished by the State Revenue Commissioner for firms submitting bids on property re-valuation and equalization programs conducted pursuant

1302

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

to provisions of an Act providing Aid to Counties for Property Valua tion Programs. (Ga. Laws 1963, p. 419 et seq.).

Section 4. The average ratio of assessed value to true value determined as provided above for each county shall be used as pro vided for in this Act until such time as the State Auditor shall, in his discretion, direct that a new ratio be determined for a particular county, provided, however, that a new ratio shall be determined for every county in the State at least once every five years after January 15, 1965. The State Revenue Commissioner shall, when examining the various county digests submitted to him under the provisions of Code Section 92-7002, advise the State Auditor of any digest which reflects an increase or decrease of 5% or more over the previous year's digest. Whereupon it shall be the duty of the State Auditor, in accordance with the procedures prescribed herein, to determine a new ratio for such county.

Section 5. The State Auditor shall, on or before February 1, 1965 and each year thereafter, furnish to the State Board of Education the sum of the equalized adjusted school property tax digest of each county in the State for the preceding calendar year, and the sum of the equalized adjusted school property tax digest for the State as a whole, determined in accordance with provisions of this Act. As to those counties which have more than one school system located therein, the State Auditor shall furnish the State Board of Education a breakdown of the county equalized adjusted school property tax digest showing the amount thereof applicable to property located within each of the school systems located within the county. The State Auditor shall, at the same time, furnish the governing authority of each county and each municipality having an independent school system, and the local board of education of each county and each independent school system, the sum of the equalized adjusted school property tax digest of the county or the independent school system area, as the case may be, and the sum of the equalized adjusted school property tax digest for the State as a whole.

Section 6. The governing authority of the several counties of the several municipalities having independent school systems, and the local board of education of each county or area school district and the independent school system shall, if feeling themselves or their constituents or patrons aggrieved, have a right, upon request made within thirty (30) days after receipt of such digest information, to refer the question of correctness of the sum of the equalized adjusted school property tax digest of the county or independent school system area to a board of arbitrators consisting of three members, one to be chosen by the State Auditor, one to be chosen by the governing authority or local board of education requesting such arbitration, and one to be chosen within 15 days thereafter by the other two members of the board. In order to be eligible to serve as an arbitrator for the purposes of this Act, such arbitrator shall be required to meet the same minimum qualifications and standards prescribed in Section 3 of this Act for personnel and appraisal firms used by the State Auditor for the purpose of establishing ratios and digests required to be established under pro visions of this Act. Said board of arbitrators or a majority thereof shall, within thirty (30) days after appointment of the full board,

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1964

1303

render their decision upon the correctness of the sum of the digest in question and the extent and manner in which the sum of such digest should be corrected if correction of the same is required, and said de cision shall be final. The State Auditor shall correct the digest in ques tion in accordance with the decision of the board of arbitrators and shall report the same to the parties entitled to receive such information under provisions of Section 5 of this Act. The members of boards of arbitration shall take and subscribe to an oath before the State Auditor to faithfully and impartially perform the duties required of them in connection with the controversy concerning the correctness of the sum of the digest in question, and to render their decision thereon within the time required. The members of the board of arbitration shall be paid a sum not to exceed $100 per day for services rendered. All costs of arbitration of matters arising under provisions of this Act shall be shared and paid equally by the State Auditor and by the governing authority or local board of education requesting such arbi tration.

Section 7. The provisions of this Act shall become effective immediately.

Section 8. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

The following amendments to the Committee substitute were read and adopted:

Mr. Murphy of Haralson moves to amend SB 191 Committee sub as follows: By adding at the end of Section 5 the following:

1396

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

"F. Same; signatures; seal. In case any officer whose signa ture shall appear on any bonds or whose facsimile signature shall appear on any coupon shall cease to be such officer before the de livery of such bonds, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if he had remained in office until such delivery. All such bonds shall be signed by the Chairman of the Authority and the official seal of the Authority shall be af fixed thereto and attested by the Secretary of the Authority and any coupons attached thereto shall bear the signature or facsimile signature of the Chairman of the Authority. Any coupon may bear the facsimile signature of such person and any bond may be signed, sealed and attested on behalf of the Authority by such persons as at the actual time of the execution of such bonds shall be duly authorized or hold the proper office, although at the date of such bonds such persons may not have been so authorized or shall not have held such office.

"G. Same; negotiability; exemption from taxation.

Such bonds and the income thereof shall be exempt from all taxation within the State.

"H. Same; sale; price. The Authority may sell such bonds in such manner and for such price as it may determine to be for the best interests of the Authority, but no such sale shall be made at a price as low as to require the payment of interest on the money received therefor at more than five (5%) per centum per annum computed with relation to the absolute maturity of the bonds in ac cordance with standard tables of bond values excluding, however, from such computation the amount of any premium to be paid on redemption of any bond prior to maturity.

The proceeds of such bonds shall be used solely for the payment of the cost of the project or combined project, and shall be disbursed upon requisition or order of the Chairman of the Authority under such restrictions, if any, as the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or the trust in denture hereinafter mentioned may provide. If the proceeds of such bonds, by error of calculation or otherwise, shall be less than the cost of the project or combined project, unless otherwise provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust indenture, additional bonds may in like manner be issued to provide the amount of such deficit, which unless otherwise provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the
trust indenture, shall be deemed to be of the same issue and shall be entitled to payment from the same fund without preference or priority of the bonds first issued for the same purpose. If the proceeds of the bonds of any issue shall exceed the amount required for the purpose for which such bonds are issued, the surplus shall be paid into the fund hereinafter provided for the payment of principal and interest of such bonds.

"J. Same; interim receipts and certificates or temporary bonds.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1964

1397

Prior to the preparation of definitive bonds, the Authority may, under like restrictions issue interim receipts, interim certificates or tem porary bonds, with or without coupons exchangeable for definitive bonds upon the issuance of the latter.

"K. Same; replacement of lost or mutilated bonds. The Au thority may also provide for the replacement of any bond which shall become mutilated or be destroyed or lost.

"L. Conditions precedent to issuance; object of issuance. Such revenue bonds may be issued without any other proceedings or the happening of any other conditions or things than those proceedings, conditions and things which are specified or required herein. In the discretion of the Authority, revenue bonds of a single issue may be issued for the purpose of paying the cost of any one or more, including a combination of projects within the boundaries of Stephens County. Any resolution, providing for the issuance of revenue bonds under the provisions herein shall become effective immediately upon its passage and need not be published or posted, and any such resolu tion may be passed at any regular or special or adjourned meeting of the Authority by a majority of its members.

"M. Extent of credit pledged. Revenue bonds issued under the provisions herein shall be special obligations of the Authority payable solely from the funds hereinafter provided for and shall not be deemed to constitute a debt of the City of Toceoa or Stephens County within the meaning of Article VII, Section VII, Paragraph I of this Constitution and all such bonds shall contain recitals on the face covering substantially the foregoing provision; provided, however, the City of Toccoa and Stephens County may, and each subdivision is hereby specifically authorized to use funds derived from taxes assessed for lawful, municipal and county purposes to perform the terms and conditions of any lease contract or related agreement entered into with the Authority and if such a covenant to that effect is contained in such contract or agreement then the obligation to do so shall become mandatory on each subdivision and it shall from year to year levy and collect taxes sufficient in amount to fulfill the terms of such contract or agreement.
"N. Same; trust indenture as security. In the discretion of the Authority, any issue of such revenue bonds may be secured by a trust indenture by and between the Authority and a corporate trustee, which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company within or outside the State. Such trust indenture may pledge or assign rents, revenues and earnings to be received by the Authority. Either the resolution providing for the issuance of revenue bonds or such trust indenture may contain such pro visions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bond holders as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law, including covenants setting forth the duties of the Authority in relation to the acquisition of property, the construction of the project, the maintenance, operation, repair and insurance of the project, and the custody, safeguarding and application of all monies, and may also provide that any project shall be constructed and paid for under the supervision and approval of consulting engineers or

1398

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

architects employed or designated by the Authority and satisfactory to the City of Toccoa and Stephens County and to the original pur chasers of the bonds issued therefor, and may also contain provisions concerning the conditions, if any, upon which additional revenue bonds may be issued. It shall be lawful for any bank or trust com pany incorporated under the laws of this State to act as such de pository and to furnish such indemnifying bonds or pledge such securities as may be required by the Authority. Such indenture may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee and may restrict the individual right of action of bondholders as is customary in trust indentures securing bonds and debentures of corporations. In addition to the foregoing, such trust indenture may contain such other provisions as the Authority may deem reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders.

A RESOLUTION
Urging the Congress of the United States to restore the Word of God to the schools; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the recent assassination of the President of the United States and other acts of violence following that tragic event have caused the people of our country to turn to God for comfort and understanding; and
WHEREAS, many of us believe that our country was founded on and is dependent upon the belief in God and the inalienable rights that come from only His hands; and
WHEREAS, this belief has been in the mainstream of our entire history as manifested by the fact that we proudly refer to ourselves as "One Nation Under God" and declare on our coins that "In God We Trust"; and
WHEREAS, the Supreme Court of the United States has ignored our history and our beliefs in removing the Holy Word of God from the classrooms of our nation's schools; and
WHEREAS, court actions have been instituted by godless forces to remove reference to God from our Pledge of Allegiance and to remove the Holy Bible from the courts, and to erase "In God We Trust" from our coins.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the Congress of the United States is hereby

Subject to the restrictions set out herein, a clerk, in computing such service, may include service as a deputy clerk of the Superior Court or the period of service as member of the armed forces of the United States of America, in event the tenure of office as clerk was broken by said military service or service as any elective county officer. No person shall be eligible for the retirement benefits provided herein unless he has paid into the fund the amount provided for in this Act for the four years' service immediately pre ceding his retirement. Any clerk who is approved for the purpose of receiving retirement benefits shall be paid a monthly amount equal to two-thirds of his salary based upon his last four years of service as clerk immediately preceding his retirement, or the sum of $240.00 per month, whichever is the smaller sum. No person shall receive credit for any service performed after the effective date of this Act unless payment for the period covered by such service has been made to the board as provided for in this Act. No person shall be eligible for benefits provided herein until his official duties shall have terminated, and unless he shall file application for benefits within ninety days, or as soon thereafter as possible from the time of the termination of his official duties.'

"Section 3. Said Act is further amended by adding before Section 10 the following numbered Sections:

'Section 9B. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act to the contrary, a clerk may retire after completing 16 years of creditable service as provided for above, provided he or she shall become totally and permanently disabled after having commenced their service as a clerk, and shall be entitled to receive retirement benefits in the amount of 2/3 of his average monthly income for the last 4 years of service as a clerk, or $240.00 per month, which ever is the smaller sum. All questions relating to the degree and nature of the total and permanent disability suffered by the clerk shall be determined by the Board of Commissioners.

'Section 9C. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act to the contrary, a clerk may retire after completing 20 years of service as provided for above, at age 55, and receive the benefits provided for in Section 9 hereof, or in lieu thereof elect to receive 2/3 of the benefits he is entitled to receive under Section 9 during the remainder of his life, and at his death, leaving a surviving spouse, said spouse shall be entitled to receive a monthly sum during his or her lifetime equal to 50% of the amount of the re tirement benefit provided for clerks under Section 9.

1566

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

'Section 9D. In the event any clerk has not retired under any of the provisions of this Act, but is eligible to do so, and dies, his surviving spouse shall receive a monthly sum during his or her life time equal to 50% of the amount said clerk would have received had he or she retired under the provisions of Section 9C. In order to receive such benefits, any such spouse must be at least 55 years of age and have been married to said clerk for at least 6 years immediately preceding the death of said clerk. In the event said spouse remarries, the benefits payable under this Section to her shall immediately terminate.

'Section 9E. In the event any unmarried clerk or any clerk who has elected to retire under the provisions of Section 9 dies before having retired, the total sum, without interest, which has been paid by said clerk into the Fund shall be paid to the clerk's estate. If, after retiring, any unmarried clerk or any clerk who has elected to retire under the provisions of Section 9 or 9B should die without having received, by way of benefits under this Act, an amount equal to the amount which said clerk paid into the Fund, the difference therein, without interest, shall be paid to said clerk's estate.'"

Such bond shall remain in full force and effect so long as any obligations of such licensee to the State shall remain unsatisfied.

SECTION 8

(1) Except as otherwise provided in this Act, no person shall construct, erect, operate, use, maintain, or cause or permit to be con structed, erected, operated, used or maintained any outdoor advertising structure, outdoor advertising sign or outdoor advertisement, outside any municipality, without first obtaining a permit therefor from the Director, and paying the annual fee therefor, as herein provided. Permits for each calendar year shall be made available by the Director for pur chase not later than the preceding July First.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1964

1599

amount of the State license fee, the amounts of county license fees, the names of all counties to which the county license fees are applicable, and the number of permits and permit fees of each size;

Such tag shall indicate the amount of permit fee for the advertising structure, advertising sign or advertisement to which it is attached. The tag shall be attached to the face of the advertising structure, advertising sign or advertisement on the end nearest the highway in a manner that shall cause it to be plainly visible. The construction, erection, use or main tenance of any advertising structure, advertising sign or advertisement which is required by this Act to be permitted, without having affixed thereto a currently valid permit tag shall be prima facie evidence that the same has been constructed or erected and is being operated, used or maintained in violation of the provisions of this Act, and shall be subject to removal by legal representatives of the State Highway Depart ment. No person shall paint, alter, mutilate, deface or change the color of a permit tag and no one other than the owner of such tag or his lawful representative shall remove such tag from the advertising struc ture, advertising sign or advertisement to which it has been affixed. Any person violating this provision shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished as for misdemeanor.

(5) If more than one side of an advertising structure, advertising sign or advertisement is used for advertising, a fee for each such side shall be required. Advertisements sculptured in the round shall be treated as using three (3) sides.

(6) No person shall erect or cause to be erected an advertising structure, advertising sign or advertisement upon the property of another without first securing the written permission of the owner or lessee of said property.
SECTION 9

(1) The Director may after thirty (30) days notice in writing to the permittee revoke any permit issued by him under Section 8 upon repayment of a proportionate part of the fee in any case where it shall appear to the Director that the application for the permit contains knowingly false or misleading information or that the permittee has violated any of the provisions of this Act unless such permittee shall, before the expiration of said thirty (30) days, correct such false or misleading information and comply with the provisions of this Act. If the construction, erection, operation, use, maintenance and display of any advertisement, advertising sign or advertising structure for which a permit is issued by the Director and the permit fee has been paid as above provided, shall be prevented by any zoning board, commission or other public agency which also has jurisdiction over the proposed adver tisement, advertising sign or structure or its site, the fee for such adver-

1600

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

tisement, advertising sign or structure shall be returned by the Director and the permit revoked. But one-half of the fee shall be deemed to have accrued upon the erection of an advertising sign or advertising structure or the display of an advertisement followed by an inspection by the Director or his representatives.

(2) Any person aggrieved by any action of the Director in refusing to grant or in revoking a permit may, within thirty (30) days from the date of such refusal or revocation, appeal from the decision of the Direc tor to the superior court of the county in which the person resides by presenting to the court, after five (5) days notice in writing to the Director, an affidavit made by such person or by his duly authorized agent or attorney, setting forth the fact of such refusal or revocation, as the case may be, and that the action of the Director was without cause.

A RESOLUTION
Commending Ernest Rogers; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, Honorable Ernest Rogers, at the instance and request of the Association County Commissioners of Georgia composed a poem entitled "The Special Breed" which reads as follows:
"THE SPECIAL BREED"
"Those who dare to serve the public are a special breed of men Who know that cheers, and sometimes jeers, will greet them now
and then, But they have dedication that transcends a world of doubt As they humbly do their duty from within and from without. "They're the men who make decisions that affect us, one and all, In the quiet of an office or a legislative hall. They must wrestle with the problems we submit to them to solve In a fair, impartial manner and a state of high resolve. "And in Georgia we are lucky that the standards are so high That they stand as shining beacons bright against a southern sky. In the counties and the cities and throughout the state at large We have men who hold that honor is to them a precious charge. "In Our Chief we have a leader who pursues with all his might What is best for ev'ry person, each according to his right. Without doubt or fear or favor his decisions are attained By a simple rule of conscience: What have the people gained? "And assembled from each cranny of our grand and growing state Are a host of legislators with a faith for any fate That will better and ennoble and will set Our State apart As they answer to the pleadings of the mind and of the heart. "Theirs is not a labor tempered by the lure of gold or fame Or the plaudits of the people who would give them wild acclaim; Better, far, it is the searching for a nobler, finer goal That will understand the yearnings of an understanding soul. "Those who dare to serve the public often feel the critic's heel As they strive to do their duty and protect the common weal; But their true reward is ample when they've answered ev'ry test And realize within themselves they've done their utter best. "Let us, then, accord them honor in a measure full and true For knowing what is best for all and with the will to do; Salute them, all in accents clear no matter where or when: This gallant band who bless our land--this special breed of men.",
and
WHEREAS, said poem was dedicated to the Governor and the mem bers of the General Assembly of Georgia as an expression of good will from the Association County Commissioners of Georgia at the Georgia Breakfast held January 16, 1964, by the Association County Commis-

A RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to authorize the governing authority of Floyd County to issue general obligation bonds for the purpose of establishing schools beyond the twelfth grade and to levy taxes for the payment of such bonds; to authorize Floyd County to levy a tax to pay the tuition and expenses of students attending such schools; to authorize Floyd County to join with other counties and muni cipalities to establish area schools beyond the twelfth grade; to provide for the submission of this amendment for ratification or rejection; and for other purposes.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY:
Section 1. Article VII, Section VII, Paragraph I of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:
"Any other provision of the Constitution to the contrary not withstanding, the governing authority of Floyd County is hereby authorized and empowered to (1) acquire real property and to acquire, construct and equip buildings and facilities for education beyond the twelfth grade and to convey any such property so ac quired to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, its successors or assigns; (2) contribute funds to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia to be applied toward the acquisition of real property and the acquisition, construction and

equipping of buildings and facilities for education beyond the twelfth grade.

"In order to finance such undertaking, the governing authority of Ployd County is hereby authorized to issue general obligation bonds from time to time bearing the rate or rates of interest and maturing at the years and amounts determined by said governing authority. Any bonds issued in pursuance of the authority herein granted shall be issued in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution and the laws governing the issuance of general obliga tion bonds. The taxes assessed, levied and collected for the payment of the bonded indebtedness herein provided for shall be upon all the taxable property in Floyd County, including any such property in any municipal or independent school system or district. Prior to ex ercising the authority herein granted, the governing authority of Floyd County shall have contracted with the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia to convey any property or funds so acquired to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia; and the Board of Regents shall have contracted with the governing authority of Floyd County to accept any such property or funds for the purpose of constructing and equipping such build ings and facilities and to operate and maintain the same as a unit of the University System of Georgia rather than as a part of the public school system of this State.

"The governing authority of Floyd County is further authorized to levy and collect a tax upon all taxable property within Floyd County, including any such property in any municipal or independent
school system or district for the purpose of paying all or part of the tuition and expenses of any students attending any such school be yond the twelfth grade and established pursuant to this amendment.
Any funds collected from the levy of such tax shall be transferred to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia to be used by the said Board of Regents for the purpose provided herein."

Section 2. Article VII, Section VI Paragraph I of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:
"Floyd County, either independently or jointly with any one or more counties, or any one or more municipalities, or any county and muncipality, or any combination thereof, when such counties or municipalities have similar constitutional authority, may establish area schools beyond the twelfth grade. The State is hereby author ized to expend funds for the support of such schools as it does for presently established school systems. The political subdivisions establishing such a school shall provide for a joint board to admin ister any such school, and the State is hereby authorized to contract with such board relative to the expenditure of funds for such school. In the event any such school beyond the twelfth grade is established by Floyd County alone, then the governing authority of Floyd County shall administer and control such school, or in lieu thereof a local act may be passed prescribing how any such school shall be administered and controlled, and the State is hereby authorized to contract with such governing authority relative to the expenditure

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1964

of funds for such school. Any such political subdivision is hereby authorized to levy taxes for the support of such school regardless of whether it is located within the territorial limits of such subdivision. Any such political subdivision is hereby authorized to incur bonded indebtedness not to exceed three per centum of the assessed value of all the taxable property therein for the support of such a school. Any such bonded indebtedness shall be incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Constitution and the laws of this State relative to incurring other bonded indebtedness. Such bonded indebtedness shall be in addition to any and all other indebtedness authorized by the Constitution and the laws of Georgia. The amount of funds which each political subdivision establishing such a school shall pay shall be determined and agreed upon by and between all the political subdivisions involved. In the event it deems it necessary, the Gen eral Assembly is hereby authorized to enact laws pursuant to, but not in conflict with, the provisions of this paragraph."

Section 3. When the above proposed amendment to the Constitution shall have been agreed to by two-thirds of the members elected to each of the two branches of the General Assembly, and the same has been entered on their journals with the "Ayes" and "Nays" taken thereon, such proposed amendment shall be published and submitted as provided in Article XIII, Section I, Paragraph I of the Constitution of Georgia of 1945, as amended.

The ballot submitting the above proposed amendment shall have written or printed thereon the following:

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEOR GIA:

Section 1. Short title. This Act shall be known as and may be cited as the "Georgia Administrative Procedure Act."

Section 3. Adoption of Rules; Public Inspection; Availability of Rules; Orders and Decisions; Sanction.

(a) In addition to other rule-making requirements by law, each agency shall:
(1) Adopt as a rule a description of its organization, stating the general course and method of its operations and the methods whereby the public may obtain information or make submissions or requests.
(2) Adopt rules of practice setting forth the nature and re quirements of all formal and informal procedures available, including a description of all forms and instructions used by the agency.
(3) Make available for public inspection all rules and all other written statements of policy or interpretations formulated, adopted, or used by the agency in the discharge of its functions.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1964

2021

against any person or party, nor may it be invoked by the agency for any purpose, until it has been published or made available for public inspection as required in this section. This provision is not applicable in favor of any person or party who has actual knowledge thereof.

Section 4. Procedure for Adoption of Rules.

(a) Prior to the adoption, amendment or repeal of any rule, other than interpretive rules or general statements of policy, the agency shall:

(1) Give at least twenty (20) days' notice of its intended action. The notice shall include a statement of either the terms or substance of the proposed regulation or a descrip tion of the subjects and issues involved, and of the time when, the place where and the manner in which interested persons may present their views thereon. The notice shall be mailed to all persons who have requested in writing that they be placed upon a mailing list, which shall be main tained by the agency for advance notice of its rule-making proceedings and who have tendered the actual cost of such mailing as from time to time estimated by the agency.

(2) Afford to all interested persons reasonable opportunity to submit data, views or arguments, orally or in writing. In the case of substantive rules, opportunity for oral hearing must be granted if requested by twenty-five (25) persons, who will be directly affected by the proposed rule, by a governmental subdivision, or by an association having not less than twenty-five (25) members. The agency shall con sider fully all written and oral submissions respecting the proposed rule. Upon adoption of a rule, the agency, if re quested to do so by an interested person, either prior to adoption or within thirty (30) days thereafter, shall issue a concise statement of the principal reasons for and against its adoption, and incorporate therein its reasons for over ruling the consideration urged against its adoption.

(b) If an agency finds that an imminent peril to the public health, safety or welfare (including but not limited to summary processes such as quarantines, contrabands, seizures and the like authorized by law without notice), requires adoption of a rule upon fewer than twenty (20) days' notice and states in writing its reasons for that finding, it may proceed without prior notice or hearing or upon any abbreviated notice and hearing that it finds practicable, to adopt an emergency rule. The rule may be effective for a period of not longer than 120 days but the adoption of an identical rule under subsections (a) (1) and (a) (2) of this Section is not precluded.

(c) It is the intent of this Section to establish basic minimum pro cedural requirements for the adoption, amendment or repeal of adminis trative rules. Except for emergency rules which are provided for in subsection (b), the provisions of this Section are applicable to the exer cise of any rule-making authority conferred by any statute, but nothing in this Section repeals or diminishes additional requirements imposed by

2022

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

law or diminishes or repeals any summary power granted by law to the State or any agency thereof.

(d) No rule hereafter adopted is valid unless adopted in substantial compliance with this Section. A proceeding to contest any rule on the ground of noncompliance with the procedural requirements of this Sec tion must be commenced within two (2) years from the effective date of the rule.

(e) In any rule making proceeding where the agency is required by law to prescribe rules upon the basis of a record after hearing, including but not limited to rate making or price fixing, the provisions of Sections

4, 16, 17, 21 and 22 of this Act shall be applicable. Section 5. Filing; rules previously issued.

(a) Within twenty (20) days after the effective date of this Act, each agency shall file with the Secretary of State a certified copy of all rules which were adopted by such agency prior to the effective date of this Act and which are still of full force and effect.

(b) The copy of each rule shall contain a citation of the authority pursuant to which such rule was adopted.

(c) The Secretary of State shall endorse on each copy the time and date of filing, and shall maintain a file of such rules for public inspection.

(d) Any rule made by an agency prior to the effective date of this Act shall be void and of no effect unless filed in accordance with subsec tions (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

Section 6. Future rules; filing; effective date.

(a) Each rule hereafter adopted shall not become effective until the expiration of twenty (20) days after an original and two copies of such rule shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of State. Each rule so filed shall contain a citation of the authority pursuant to which it was adopted, and if an amendment, it shall clearly identify the original rule.

(b) The Secretary of State shall endorse on each rule thus filed the time and date of filing and shall maintain a file of such rules for public inspection.

(c) The twenty (20) day filing period is subject to the following exceptions:

(1) Where a statute or the terms of the rule require a date which is later than the twenty (20) day period, then such later date is the effective date.

(2) Emergency rules adopted pursuant to Section 4 may become effective immediately or within a period less than twenty

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1964

2023

(20) days. A copy of the finding required by Section 4 shall he filed with the rule.

(d) The Secretary of State shall prescribe rules governing the man ner and form in which regulations shall he prepared for filing. The Secretary may refuse to accept for filing any rule that does not conform to such requirements.

Section 7. Publication of Rules.

(a) As soon as practicable after the effective date of this Act, the Secretary of State shall compile, index and publish all rules adopted by each agency and remaining in effect. Compilations shall be supplemented or revised as often as necessary and at least once every two years.

(b) The Secretary of State shall publish a monthly bulletin in which he shall set forth the text of all rules filed during the preceding month, excluding rules in effect upon the adoption of this Act.

(c) The Secretary may in his discretion omit from the bulletin or the compilation rules which if published would be unduly cumbersome, expensive or otherwise inexpedient, if such rules are made available in printed or processed form on application to the adopting agency, and if the bulletin or compilation contains a notice stating the general subject matter of the rules so omitted and stating how copies thereof may be obtained.

(d) Bulletins and compilations shall be made available upon request to the heads of all departments, bureaus, agencies, commissions, and boards of this State free of charge and to other persons at a price fixed by the Secretary of State to cover publication and mailing costs.

Section 8. Judicial Notice. The courts shall take judicial notice of any rule which has become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Act.
Section 9. Petition for Adoption of Rules. An interested person may petition an agency requesting the promulgation, amendment, or repeal of a rule. Each agency shall prescribe by rule the form for petitions and the procedure for their submission, consideration, and disposition. Within thirty (30) days after submission of a petition, the agency either shall deny the petition in writing (stating its reasons for the denial) or shall initiate rule-making proceedings in accordance with Section 4 of this Act.
Section 10. Variation of Rules; exceptions.

(a) When the application or observance of a rule results in severe practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships any affected person may petition the agency for a variation or an exception to such rule, and the decision of such agency as to such variation or exception shall be final.

(b) Each agency shall keep a record of all variations or exceptions

2024

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

which are granted. Such record shall be indexed and kept open for public inspection.

Section 11. Declaratory Judgment on Validity of Rules.

(a) The validity of any rule may be determined in an action for declaratory judgment when it is alleged that the rule or its threatened application interferes with or impairs the legal rights of the petitioner. A declaratory judgment may be rendered whether or not the petitioner has first requested the agency to pass upon the validity of the regulation in question.

(b) The agency shall be made a party to the action and a copy of the petition shall be served on the Attorney General. The action shall be brought in the Superior Court of Pulton County or in the Superior Court of the County of residence of the petitioner. When the petitioner is a corporation, the action may be brought in the Superior Court of Fulton County or the County where the petitioner maintains its princi pal place of doing business in Georgia.

(c) Actions for declaratory judgment provided for in this Section shall be in accordance with the Declaratory Judgment Act, approved February 12, 1945 (Georgia Laws 1945, pp. 137-139), as amended.

Section 12. Declaratory Rulings by Agencies. Each agency shall provide by rule for the filing and prompt disposition of petitions for declaratory rulings as to the applicability of any rule or order of the agency, and for declaratory rulings by the Attorney General as to the applicability of any rule or order of the agency, and for declaratory rulings by the Attorney General as to the applicability of any statutory provision. Rulings disposing of petitions have the same status as agency decisions or orders in contested cases.

Section 13. Demand for Hearing.

(a) The agency shall hold a hearing upon written demand therefor by any person aggrieved by any act, or failure of the agency to act if such failure is deemed an act under any provision of the agency statute, or by any order of the agency other than an order on a hearing of which such person was given actual notice or at which such person appeared as a party.

(b) Any such demand for a hearing shall be made within thirty (30) days after the act or failure to act causes the injury and shall specify in what respects such person is aggrieved and the grounds to be relied upon as a basis for the relief to be demanded at the hearing, and unless postponed by mutual consent the hearing shall be held within thirty (30) days after receipt by the agency of the demand therefor. The proceeding shall have the status of a contested case.

(c) Pending such hearing and the decision thereon, the agency may suspend or postpone the effective date of its previous action.

Section 14. Contested Cases; Notice; Hearing Record.

(a) In addition to any other requirements imposed by common law, constitution, statutes or regulations, in any contested case, all parties shall be afforded an opportunity for hearing after reasonable notice served personally or by mail.

(b) The notice shall include: (1) a statement of the time, place and nature of the hearing;

(2) a statement of the legal authority and jurisdiction under which the hearing is to be held;

(3) a reference to the particular section of the statutes and rules involved;

(4) a short and plain statement of the matters asserted. If the agency or other party is unable to state the matters in detail at the time, the notice may be limited to a statement of the issues involved. Thereafter, upon application, a more definite and detailed statement shall be furnished.
(5) a statement as to the right of any party to subpoena wit nesses and documentary evidence through the agency.
(c) Opportunity shall be afforded all parties to be represented by legal counsel and to respond and present evidence on all issues involved.

(e) Unless specifically precluded by statute, in addition to the agency, any contested case may be held before any agency representative who has been selected and appointed by the agency for such purpose. Before appointing a hearing representative, the agency shall determine that the person under consideration is qualified by reason of training, experience and competence.
(f) The agency, the hearing officer, or any representative of the agency authorized to hold a hearing, shall have authority to do the following: to administer oaths and affirmations; sign and issue sub poenas; rule upon offers of proof; regulate the course of the hearing; set the time and place for continued hearings, and fix the time for filing briefs; dispose of motions to dismiss for lack of agency jurisdiction over the subject matter or parties or for any other ground; dispose of motions to amend or to intervene; provide for the taking of testimony by deposi tion or interrogatory; reprimand or exclude from the hearing any person for any indecorous or improper conduct committed in the presence of the agency or the hearing officer.

2026

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(g) Subpoenas shall be issued without discrimination between public and private parties. When a subpoena is disobeyed, any party may apply to the Superior Court of the County where the contested case is being heard for an order requiring obedience. Failure to comply with such order shall be cause for punishment as for contempt of court. The costs of securing the attendance of witnesses, including fees and mileage, shall be computed and assessed in the same manner as prescribed by law in civil cases in the Superior Court.

(h) A record shall be kept in each contested case and shall include:

(1) all pleadings, motions, intermediate rulings;

(2) a summary of the oral testimony plus all other evidence received or considered, except that oral proceedings, or any part thereof, shall be transcribed or recorded upon request of any party. Upon written request therefor, a transcript of such oral proceeding, or any part thereof, shall be fur nished to any party to the proceeding. The agency shall set a uniform fee for such service;

(3) a statement of matters officially noticed;

(4) questions and offers of proof and rulings thereon;

(5) proposed findings and exceptions:

(6) any decision (including any initial, recommended or tenta tive decision), opinion or report by the officer presiding at the hearing;

(7) all staff memoranda or data submitted to the hearing officer or members of the agency in connection with their consid eration of the case.

(i) Findings of fact shall be based exclusively on the evidence and on matters officially noticed.

(j) "Except in cases in which a hearing has been demanded under Section 13, Section 14 and the other provisions of this Act concerning contested cases shall not apply to any case arising in the administration of the Revenue Laws which is subject to a subsequent trial of the law and the facts de novo in the Superior Court."

Section 15. Intervention. In contested cases:

(a) Upon timely application any person shall be permitted to inter vene: (1) when a statute confers an unconditional right to intervene; or (2) when the representation of applicant's interest is or may be ade quate :

(b) Upon timely application any person may be permitted to inter-

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1964

2027

vene: (1) when a statute confers a conditional right to intervene, or (2) when the applicant's claim or defense and the main action have a question of law or fact in common. In exercising its discretion the agency shall consider whether the intervention will unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of existing parties.

Section 16. Rules of Evidence; Official Notice. In contested cases:
(a) Irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious evidence shall be excluded. The rules of evidence as applied in civil cases in the Superior Courts of Georgia shall be followed. When necessary to ascertain facts not reasonably susceptible of proof under such rules, evidence not ad missible thereunder may be admitted except where precluded by statute if it is of a type commonly relied upon by reasonable prudent men in the conduct of their affairs. Agencies shall give effect to the rules of privi lege recognized by law. Objections to evidentiary offers may be made and shall be noted in the record. Subject to these requirements, when a hearing will be expedited and the interests of the parties will not be prejudiced substantially, any part of the evidence may be received in written form.
(b) Documentary evidence may be received in the form of copies or excerpts, if the original is not readily available. Upon request, parties shall be given an opportunity to compare the copy with the original or have it established as documentary evidence according to the rules of evidence applicable to the Superior Courts of this State.
(c) A party may conduct such cross examination as shall be re quired for a full and true disclosure of the facts.

(d) Official notice may be taken of judicially cognizable facts. In addition, official notice may be taken of generally recognized technical or scientific facts within the agency's specialized knowledge; but parties shall be notified either before or during the hearing, or by reference in preliminary reports or otherwise, of the material so noticed. The agency's experience, technical competence, and specialized knowledge may be utilized in the evaluation of the evidence.
Section 17. Examination of Evidence by Agency. When in a con tested case a majority of the officials of the agency who are to render the final decision have not heard the case or read the record, the decision, if adverse to a party to the proceeding other than the agency itself, shall not be made until a proposal for decision is served upon the parties, and an opportunity is afforded to each party adversely affected to file excep tions and present briefs and oral argument to the officials who are to render the decision. The proposal for decision shall contain a statement of the reasons therefor and of each issue of fact or law necessary to the proposed decision, prepared by the person who conducted the hearing or one who has read the record. The parties by written stipulation may waive compliance with this Section.
Section 18. Decisions and Orders.

2028

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

(a) In contested cases in which the agency has not presented at the reception of the evidence, the agency representative who presided shall initially decide the case or the agency shall require the entire record before the agency representative to be certified to it for initial decision. When such representative makes the initial decision, and in absence of an application to the agency within thirty (30) days from the date of notice of the initial decision for review, or an order by the agency within such time for review on its own motion, such initial decision shall, with out further proceedings, become the decision of the agency. On review from the initial decision of such representative the agency shall have all the powers it would have in making the initial decision, and if deemed advisable, the agency may take additional testimony or remand the case to the hearing representative for such purpose. When the agency makes the initial decision without having presided at the reception of evidence, the agency representative shall first recommend a decision, a copy of which shall be sent to each party, and which shall be made a part of the record.

(b) A final decision or order adverse to a party, other than the agency, in a contested case shall be in writing or stated in the record. A final decision shall include findings of fact and conclusions of law, separately stated, and the effective date of the decision or order. Findings of facts, if set forth in statutory language, shall be accompanied by a concise and explicit statement of the underlying facts supporting the findings. Each agency shall maintain a properly indexed file of all deci sions in contested cases which shall be open for public inspection with the exceptions provided in Section 3 (a) (4). A copy of the decision or order and accompanying findings and conclusions shall be delivered or mailed promptly to each party or to his attorney of record. Nothing in this Section shall prevent agencies from entering summary decisions or orders for contested cases informally disposed of under Section 14 (d).

(c) Each agency shall render a final decision in contested cases with in thirty (30) days after the close of the records required by Section 14, except that any agency, by order, may extend such period in any case in which it shall find that the complexity of the issues and the length of the record require an extension of such period, in which event the agency shall render decision at the earliest date practicable.
Section 19. Ex Parte Consulations. Unless required for the disposi tion of ex parte matters authorized by law, members or employees of an agency assigned to render a decision or to make findings of fact and conclusions of law in a contested case shall not communicate, directly or indirectly, in connection with any issue of fact, with any person or party, nor, in connection with any issue of law, with any party or his repre sentative, except upon notice and opportunity for all parties to partici pate. An agency member (1) may communicate with other members of the agency, and (2) may have the aid and advice of one or more personal assistants.
Section 20. Licensing.
(a) When the grant, denial, or renewal of a license is required by law to be preceded by notice and opportunity for hearing, the provisions

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1964 of the Act concerning contested cases shall apply.

2029

(b) When a licensee has made timely and sufficient application for the renewal of a license or a new license with reference to any activity of a continuing nature, the existing license shall not expire until such application has been denied or the terms of the new license limited, until the last day for seeking review of the agency order, or such later date as may be fixed by the order of the reviewing court.

(c) No revocation, suspension, annulment, or withdrawal of any license is lawful unless, prior to the institution of agency proceedings the agency has sent notice by certified mail to the licensee of individual facts or conduct which warrant the intended action, and the licensee has been given an opportunity to show compliance with all lawful requirements for the retention of the license, except where:

(1) the agency finds that the public health, safety or welfare imperatively requires emergency action, and incorporates a finding to that effect in its order, in which case, summary suspension of a license may be ordered pending proceedings for revocation or other action, which proceeding shall be promptly instituted and determined;

(2) the agency's order is expressly required, by a judgment or a statute, to be made without the right to a hearing or con tinuance of any type.

Section 21. Judicial Review of Contested Cases.

(a) Any person who has exhausted all administrative remedies available within the agency and who is aggrieved by a final decision in a contested case is entitled to judicial review under this Act. This Section does not limit utilization of or the scope of judicial review available under other means of review, redress, relief, or trial de novo provided by law. A preliminary, procedural, or intermediate agency action or rul ing is immediately reviewable if review of the final agency decision would not provide an adequate remedy.

(b) Proceedings for review are instituted by filing a petition within thirty (30) days after the service of the final decision of the agency or, if a rehearing is requested, within thirty (30) days after the decision thereon. Such petition may be filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County or in the Superior Court of the County of residence of the petitioner. When the petitioner is a corporation, the action may be brought in the Superior Court of Fulton County or the County where the petitioner maintains its principal place of doing business in Georgia. Copies of the petition shall be served upon the agency and all parties of record. The petition shall state the nature of the petitioner's interest, the fact showing that petitioner is aggrieved by the decision and the ground as specified in subsection (h) of this Section upon which peti tioner contends that the decision should be reversed or modified. The petition may be amended by leave of court.

2030

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(c) Irrespective of any provisions of statute or agency rule with respect to motions for rehearing or reconsideration after a final agency decision or order, the filing of such a motion shall not be a prerequisite to the filing of any action for judicial review or relief; provided, however, no objection to any order or decision of any agency shall be considered by the court upon petition for review unless such objection shall have been urged before the agency.

(d) The filing of the petition does not itself stay enforcement of the agency decision. The agency may grant, or the reviewing court may order, a stay upon appropriate terms upon good cause shown.

(e) Within thirty (30) days after the service of the petition, or within further time allowed by the court, the agency shall transmit to the reviewing court the original or a certified copy of the entire record of the proceeding under review. By stipulation of all parties to the review proceedings, the record may be shortened. A party unreasonably refusing to stipulate to limit the record may be taxed by the court for the addi tional costs. The court may require or permit subsequent corrections or additions to the record.

(f) If, before the date set for hearing, application is made to the court for leave to present additional evidence, and it is shown to the satisfaction of the court that the additional evidence is material and there were good reasons for failure to present it in the proceedings before the agency, the court may order that the additional evidence be taken before the agency upon conditions determined by the court.

The following Interim Committee reports were received:

HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES Atlanta
February 21, 1964

Honorable George T. Smith Speaker, House of Representatives State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mr. Speaker:

Your Committee on Instructional Standards and Curriculum wishes to file this report and specifics to you.

The Committee finds that the instructional standards for the University System are in good condition, but we recommend that Dr. John R. Hills have closer cooperation in all the units of the System and the System try to get the correct curriculum, in order that all the Institutions will be able to transfer from one to another within a System and with our private colleges.

We wish to commend Georgia Tech on their program of keeping the students to such a low drop-out rate. We find the other Institutions in good condition on this matter.

We want to urge the Board of Regents to make a very intense study to correct drop-outs and failures in the System. We urge that this study be directed to the Instructional Personnel, not to improve the higher standards by flunking students, but by passing those who are now in the classrooms, provided of course, these students qualify, attend classes and study. For it is our opinion, that with the high standards it is the duty of the faculty to teach each and every student and see that they, by proper nstructions, are able to keep up with their work and graduate.

Mr. Speaker, it is the unanimous opinion of this Committee that a study of this type be instituted each and every year hereafter. We wish to express our appreciation to you for your deep concern for quality education.

CM:eph

Sincerely yours,

:

Chappelle Matthews Chairman University System

MEMORANDUM TO: Representative Chappelle Matthews

FROM: Dr. John R. Hills, Director of Testing and Guidance Board of Regents, University System of Georgia

SUBJECT: Admissions Standards and Drop-out Rates in the University of Georgia

Admissions standards can be evaluated in several ways. One is to see what proportion of applicants are admitted. For the academic year 1962-63, 81% of the 13,956 freshman applicants to the University System colleges were accepted, but the proportion varies from over 90% at 10 colleges to less than 70% at three. (At two of those three, some of the rejected students were permitted to enter on a trial basis.) Vice Chancellor Martin estimated that during the Fall Quarter of 1962 the System could have accommodated as many as 1000 more students if each student could have been assigned to a specific program in a specific institution. Such assignment is not a reasonable possibility.

Another way to evaluate admissions standards is through test scores and their trend over the years. For the System, the average College Board scores for white and Negro Fall Quarter entering freshmen appear in Table 1.

There is a slight upward trend for the white students but not for the Negroes. If admissions standards for the entire System can be said to have risen at all during this period, they cannot be said to have risen very much. However, they did not fall, and the size of the Fall-Quarter entering-freshmen group rose from 5190 to 7529 during this period.

There are also a variety of ways to evaluate drop-out rates. Com plications arise because some drop outs come back; others merely trans fer and are not really lost to higher education at all. Also, some do not enter with the intention of graduating. At junior colleges some do not bother to graduate but merely transfer, thereby saving the gradua tion fee. As far as I know, most of our colleges have not conducted careful, thorough studies of their entering freshmen, following them until their graduation from some institution or until they spend at least several years outside of any college. Dr. Willingham, of Georgia Institute of Technology, has probably come the closest to such a study. He found that approximately 60% of the 1059 freshmen entering in

2332

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

Fall 1957 will ultimately graduate from Tech. (Others may graduate elsewhere.) Forty-three per cent had graduated from Tech in five years, and 13% were still enrolled. Willingham has also found that the per cent who withdraw from Tech before finishing a single year has decreased steadily since 1958, from about 25% to about 15%. It is un known to what extent any of these students returned, or whether their time of drop out has merely been delayed, but data from Mr. Carmichael, Registrar at Tech, indicate that from 1960 to 1963 yearly total enroll
ment has increased while admissions has not. This would be expected if the drop-out rate were decreasing. Incidentally, the rate of increase of College Board scores at Georgia Tech is higher over the years than the rate of increase in the System (white) as a whole. Tech's figures, comparable to those in Table 1 are:

At the University of Georgia, we also have data for the entering class of 1957 and its survivors. Out of the 868 freshmen who entered in the Fall of 1957, 359 survived for four years without ever having dropped out. Of these, 239 actually graduated after four years. There undoubtedly were others who dropped out and re-entered, or who trans ferred to other colleges and were not lost from higher education alto gether. The College Board scores of the graduates are appreciably high er, on the average, than those of the entering freshmen. The difference amounts to 35 or 45 points on each of the two College Board scores.
Also, we have the mean College Board scores for Fall Quarter entering freshmen at the University, comparable to the data in Table 1 and to the data given above for Georgia Tech:

Mathematical 419

427

442

456

It can be seen here that the increase in College Board scores over this period is greater for the University than for the System as a whole. The increases for Tech and the University are quite similar. The upward trend probably continues through 1963. Data for the entire System are not yet available, but, for illustration, the University's 1962 and 1963 means were: V, 452 and 462; M, 472 and 483. Data on dropouts during the freshman year at the University reveal that for boys, the proportion of the entering group who dropped out for at least one quarter was about 17% for each year from 1957 through 1960. For girls, it rose from 10% in 1957 to 15% in 1960.

The University probably has more transfer students than any other System unit. According to figures reported in a nation-wide study of transfers (being conducted at the University of California) the Uni versity of Georgia had one of the best records of "on-time" graduation of transfer students among the state universities. Probably the rate of

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2333

on-time graduation of transfers (about 53%) is higher than for students who originally enter the University as freshmen because only the better junior-college students attempt to transfer.

I can obtain for you various supporting documents for this report, if you so desire. You asked for only one or two pages, but if there is any more information you need, please call on me.

*these figures and all following are estimated.

West Georgia College offers a full quarter's work in the summer and summer enrollment in the past two years has been slightly more than 50% of the following fall enrollment. We expect summer enroll ment to increase to at least 60% of fall enrollment by 1970 and to go still higher by 1975.

2338

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

In the fall of 1963 we did not turn away any students because of lack of space. In order not to turn away qualified students we obtained permission to continue placing three students to a room (designed for two students) in some campus dormitories and about 160 students were placed in "town dormitories" or private homes.

Approximately 15 per cent of West Georgia College's students are married. We have no housing facilities for married students.

A dormitory for 120 women and a dormitory for 120 men are now under construction. Both should be completed before the fall of 1964, and it is expected that they will be fully occupied then.

An architect is now preparing the final plans and specifications for a Health and Physical Education Building and construction should begin in time to complete the facility before the fall of 1965.

The need for new academic buildings at West Georgia College is extremely urgent. Design of the following buildings should begin at once in order that construction may begin as soon as possible.

Type of Academic Facility
Classroom Building Library Laboratory & Classroom Building

Estimated Cost
$ 700,000 1,000,000 750,000

These proposed new buildings, along with old buildings to be renovated, would meet our major needs for classrooms, laboratories and the library until about 1970. Approximately $500,000 more is needed for renovations of old buildings, utilities and campus improvements.

The need for additional student service facilities, including dormi tories, married student housing, dining hall and student center, is also urgent. Buildings required prior to 1970 include the following:

Type of Student Service Facility
Dormitory for 180 Women Dining Hall-Student Center Dormitory for 150 Men Married Student Housing Dormitories for 270 Women Dormitories for 250 Men

Estimated Cost
$630,000 700,000 525,000 500,000 945,000 875,000

It was good to see you again in the meeting of the Georgia Nuclear Advisory Commission. I hope that you will visit our campus soon.

Best personal regards.

Sincerely,

James E. Boyd

A STATEMENT ON WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE

PREPARED FOR A MEETING OF

THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF

THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA

October 9, 1963

James E. Boyd

HISTORY OF COLLEGE
West Georgia College was established in 1933 as one of the junior colleges in the University System of Georgia. The Board of Regents assigned the college the specific objective of training elementary teach ers. Six years later, in 1939, in recognition of the college's outstanding work in this field, a third year program in elementary education was authorized. In 1957, the fourth year program was added, and the college became a senior institution, offering the B.S. Degree in Elementary Education.
In 1959, the college was authorized to grant the Bachelor of Arts Degree with majors in the fields of English, history, and mathematics. A major in biology was added in 1960, majors in chemistry and sociology in 1962, and majors in physics and psychology in 1963.
Necessary courses to prepare students for certification as junior high school teachers were added in 1959. And, last year, the Board of Regents authorized the college to offer courses needed to certify A.B. graduates as high school teachers. This program was then approved by the State Department of Education, and the college is now able to certify graduates for teaching in all school grades.
Since becoming a senior college West Georgia has placed great emphasis on its liberal arts program. Eight majors are now offered and the college is requesting approval to offer two others in political science and in the combination of economics and business administra tion, beginning in 1964. These programs and others will be needed soon to take care of the rapidly rising enrollment.

2340

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

Almost ever since its beginning West Georgia College has provided an active program of Adult Education. The program has included the offering of non-credit short courses on and off the campus for interested adults. This program has drawn national and international attention to the college. More than 500 foreign visitors from 65 different coun tries have been sent here to observe the program.

STUDENTS

RECENT GROWTH OP COLLEGE

Total enrollment for the fall quarter of 1963 is 1268. This is more than twice the enrollment in the fall of 1957, when the college became a senior institution, and more than four times the enrollment in the fall of 1953, ten years ago. The cumulative enrollment reached 1429 for the three quarters from September, 1962 to June, 1963. Cumulative enrollment in the regular 9-month session for every year of the college's life is shown on the attached chart. Enrollment figures for the period since the college became a senior institution are given in Table I.

It should be noted that the growth of enrollment in the upper divi sion (juniors and seniors plus a few graduates) has been much greater on a percentage basis than the growth of overall enrollment. This trend should continue in the future, and even be accelerated, as needed new academic programs are added at West Georgia, and new junior colleges are established in the northwestern region of Georgia.

The number of students graduating per year has also increased rapidly, particularly since the Bachelor of Arts program was started. The number of graduates with the A.B. and B.S. and the total number for the last six years are listed in Table II.

It is anticipated that the number of graduates will exceed 150 in 1963-64 and that the number may reach 200 in 1964-65. It is also ex pected that the percentage of graduates with the A.B. will continue to increase. Practically all A.B. graduates to date have been in the fields of English, history, mathematics and biology. These were the first four majors approved under the A.B. program. Graduates in four other major fields (chemistry, physics, psychology and sociology), which were offered first in 1962 and 1963 will add appreciably to the total by 1964-65.

There are indications that the quality, as well as the quantity of West Georgia students has increased considerably during the past few years. The sum of the two mean College Entrance Examination Board scholastic aptitude test scores for entering freshmen was 852 in the fall of 1962 as compared to 738 in the fall of 1958. We feel that is remarkable improvement in a period of four years for students who come largely from small high schools where college board scores usually run much lower than in the large schools in urban areas. Improvement in the quality of our students has also been indicated by the increased percentage of students on the Dean's list and by better scores on graduate record examinations.

The financial aid program for students has been expanded greatly during the past few years, mainly as a result of scholarship-loan fund drives in Carroll and adjoining counties. This has permitted a more extensive effort to be made to identify and assist worthy students.

FACULTY
As a result of intensive efforts to obtain strong additions to the faculty, the number of teachers with doctorates has increased from seven to seventeen in the past two years. It appears highly probable that at least four other members of the teaching staff will receive their Ph.D.'s within a year and that other Ph.D.'s will be added before the fall of 1964. The number of teachers with the bachelor's degree only has decreased almost as rapidly as the number of doctorates inincreased, while the percentage of teachers with master's degrees has remained practically constant.
The number of new doctorates and near doctorates, all relatively young and enthusiastic, has been extremely invigorating. There has been a marked increase in application for grants, in preparation of. instructional manuals, in research and in creative writing.
SUMMER SESSION
In the summer of 1962 the college moved toward year round opera tion by eliminating the six-week and three-week sessions in favor of a full quarter. The change apparently had no adverse effect on enroll ment, since a new high was reached. Enrollment in the 1962 summer session was 610 students. This was slightly more than 50% of the 1962 fall enrollment.

2342

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

LIBRARY
During the past three years considerable emphasis has been placed on the development of the library and the number of volumes has inincreased about 70% to a total of 28,000. The library now meets mini mum standards for a senior college, but greatly increased support will be required to expand holdings and services to a satisfactory extent during the next few years.

PHYSICAL FACILITIES
In 1962-63 increased emphasis was placed on long range campus planning. At the same time expansion and improvement of the physical plant was accelerated. Development of the physical plant, however, is not keeping pace with enrollment trends. Ways and means must be found to speed up the new building program, as well as the repair and renovation of old buildings.
Two new buildings have been completed in the past four years. These are (1) the new $335,000 science-classroom building to be dedi cated today as the Cason Callaway Science Building, and (2) Row Hall, a modern $500,000 dormitory which houses 180 men.
Two other dormitories, each to house 120 students, are now under construction. These are Cobb Hall for women and Strozier Hall for men. Both should be completed before the fall of 1964, and it is expected that they will be fully occupied then.
Melson Hall, constructed in 1907 as a part of the original plant of the Fourth District A. & M. School, was renovated in the summer of 1962 at cost of about $50,000 and now provides excellent accommoda tions for 74 women students.
Adamson Hall, which was erected in 1918, was renovated in the past summer. It now provides greatly improved accommodations for 72 women students.

PURPOSE AND FUNCTIONS OF COLLEGE
The purpose of West Georgia College is to help each student de velop a disciplined and open mind, the capacity for self-realization, and the ability to become an effective citizen in a changing society, as well as to attain certain specialized skills needed in such a society.
Since the attainment of the purpose can be accomplished in several ways, the specific objectives of the college are as follows:
To provide excellent four-year programs of higher education in the arts and sciences.
To develop specialists in major fields of the arts and sciences, including economics, English, foreign languages, history, biology,

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2343

chemistry, mathematics, physics, political science, psychology and sociology.

To provide through preparation for students who will pursue graduate studies in the arts and sciences or professional studies in law, medicine, dentistry, theology, business administration, and other fields.

To provide sound programs of education for the development of teachers for elementary, junior high, and secondary schools.

To provide opportunities for teachers in service to continue their development.

To provide opportunities for students from small high schools to overcome their disadvantages in education.

To provide opportunities for continuing education of adults in the West Georgia region.

I believe that West Georgia College's aims and functions are some what similar to those of the other regional senior colleges in the Uni versity System; i.e., Georgia Southern College, North Georgia College, Valdosta State College and The Woman's College of Georgia. Major concerns of these institutions are liberal education and the develop ment of teachers. All offer degrees in liberal arts and in professional education. Two of the institutions offer the master's degree in educa tion. The need is developing rapidly for the others to offer the Master of Arts in Teaching degree or an equivalent degree with strong emphasis on depth of learning in a subject matter field.

The faculty and staff of West Georgia College are deeply inter ested in the development of excellent teachers for our schools. In the development of elementary and high school teachers we feel that great emphasis must be placed on thorough knowledge and understanding of subject matter fields, such as English, geography, mathematics, his tory, biology, chemistry, physics and foreign language. If the student has the interest and enthusiasm required to develop thorough knowledge and understanding of a subject, he will probably make an excellent teacher. In my opinion, his college professors are in the best position to judge whether or not he has these essential capabilities and will make a good teacher. Therefore, the college should have more freedom in the development of programs of teacher education and a stronger hand in determining the requirements for certification, as Conant recommends.

PROSPECTS AND PLANS FOR THE COLLEGE
ANTICIPATED GROWTH IN ENROLLMENT
Fall enrollment doubled in the five-year period from 1957 to 1962 and is expected to double again in the next five-year period from 1962

2344

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

to 1967. We anticipate that the fall enrollment will reach 3,000 in 1970 and 4,000 in 1975. Expansion of the junior college program, the addi tion of new programs of study here, at both the bachelor's and the master's level, and the development of the University of Georgia and Georgia Institute of Technology into primarily graduate-professional level institution, should lead to approximately the following distribu tion of enrollment at West Georgia College in 1975.

Freshment and Sophomores (Lower Division Students) ............2,000 Juniors and Seniors (Upper Division Students) .__________..__.__ ----1,600 Graduate Students (To Master's Level) ..._.___.._..__...._... ................ 400

PROPOSED EXPANSIONS OF EXISTING PROGRAMS
In the Bachelor of Arts Degree program majors should be added in the fields of economics and business administration, and in political science, in the fall of 1964. Majors should be added in foreign languages, fine arts and possibly other fields in 1965 or 1966.

PROPOSED NEW PROGRAMS
The offering of graduate work leading to the master's degree should be authorized in 1965 or 1966. In particular, there is a strong need for the development of the Master of Arts in Teaching, or an equivalent degree, with strong emphasis on advanced studies in the fields of the principal academic subjects that are, or should be, taught in our high schools. There is also a growing need for a master's degree program for elementary teachers who wish to take advanced work in foreign language, modern mathematics, science and other fields.

URGENTLY NEEDED PHYSICAL FACILITIES
Preliminary plans and specifications have just been completed for a Health and Physical Education Building. Work on final plans and specifications should begin immediately in order that construction can begin in time to complete the facility before the fall of 1965.

The need for new academic buildings at West Georgia College is extremely urgent. The present replacement value of all our academic buildings, including classroom-laboratory buildings, the Administration Building, the Library and the Auditorium-Gymnasium is only $1,500,000, or about $1,200 per student enrolled this fall. This is about one fourth the estimated amount of $4,700 required for academic facilities for each additional student to be enrolled in the University System in the near future. Design of the following buildings should begin at once in order that construction may begin as soon as possible.

As new buildings are constructed many other improvements in the campus must be made. These include renovations of old buildings; de velopment of walks, drives and recreation fields; landscaping of grounds, paving of parking areas, etc. Funds required for these purposes are also urgently needed.

FINANCIAL NEEDS
Educational and general income for operation of West Georgia College in 1963-64 will be approximately $950,000, or about $750 per student enrolled for the fall quarter. About 30 per cent of the income comes from student fees and about 70 per cent is from the State Appro priation to the Board of Regents for the University System. An imme diate increase in educational and general income from $750 per student to $1,000 per student is needed primarily for the following purposes.
(1) Salary increase of faculty and staff.
(2) Additional staff for institutional research, administration, counseling and planning.
(3) Additional qualified personnel for operation and maintenance of the physical plant.
(4) Increased financial aid for worthy students who need assist ance to enter or stay in college.
Prospects are excellent for the continued development of a great college at Carrollton if urgent needs are met promptly. Considerable progress was made during the past two years in strengthening the faculty, in improving the quality of the student body, and in develop ing better curricula. Every effort will be made to accelerate progress during the coming year and to assure preparedness for the large enroll ments in the mid-sixties.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TODAY No. 74 January 1, 1964

ATLANTA, Ga.--The young School of Nuclear Engineering at Georgia Tech, barely a year and a half old, has just marked a mile stone in winning approval to award the doctorate degree.
Dr. William B. Harrison, director of the new school and head of the Nuclear Sciences Research Division at Tech, says the future is bright indeed for Nuclear Engineering graduates.
He pointed to the facts that nuclear energy is now emerging as economically competitive with conventional sources of power and that American space programs are in need of nuclear propulsion systems and nuclear devices to provide stable and maintenance-free power sources in the remote reaches of space.
Harrison defines Nuclear Engineering as that field of engineering which concerns itself with handling and using radiation in large quan tities. "And by radiation," he added, "I mean the radiation that is de rived from the nucleus of atoms, particularly gamma rays and neutrons or other types of radiation in this general category."
Actually, the master of science degree in Nuclear Engineering has been offered at Georgia Tech since 1956 with the program being admin istered by a committee of faculty members. The School of Nuclear Engi neering was established in July, 1962, to administer the degree and to plan the growth of the graduate program into the doctor of philosophy. This distinguishes it somewhat from other schools at Tech which offer undergraduate programs leading to the bachelor of science degree.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2347

Harrison said there are no plans at this time for offering an undergraduate program in Nuclear Engineering since the school can draw graduate students from Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engi neering and other such typical fields. A number of other schools have contributed students to Tech's Nuclear Engineering program and Har rison has several applications from foreign countries.

The major problem confronting the school is the difficulty in re cruiting competent teachers. "This problem is certainly not unique with Nuclear Engineering," he observed, "I think as we contemplate the need at the forefront of all fields of science and engineering, we must encounter this problem."
He said that Tech is currently exploring ways in which some of the personnel at Oak Ridge National Laboratories might be used on a part time basis in developing some of the school's more advanced nuclear courses. The Savannah River Plant is another near neighbor which can contribute competent staff members for part time functions in the program.
The foremost facility at Tech to be used in connection with the Nuclear Engineering activities is the Frank H. Neely Nuclear Research Center. This $4.5 million enterprise is now nearing completion on the Tech campus.
"This is truly an excellent facility and a real credit to the State of Georgia," Harrison said, "and I am sure that the Nuclear Engineer ing School will make good use of it. It includes a very fine research reactor and a number of laboratories and offices for supporting the research activities."
Harrison explained that schools and hospitals and other such estab lishments in the region can make use of the Nuclear Research Center.
"We have an arrangement which lends itself well to joint use of the research facilities. We think of the Nuclear Research Center as a Regional center and we believe that it will be useful to many at other schools and laboratories in the Southeast."

SUMMARY
1. This report described the migration of new freshmen among the schools and colleges of the University of Georgia between Fall Quarter, 1962, and Fall Quarter, 1963.
2. The 888 men enrolled Fall, 1962, were distributed as follows during the Fall Quarter, 1963: 519 (58%) were enrolled in the same col lege or school; 51 (6%) were enrolled in a different college; and 318 (36%) were not enrolled. The 805 women were distributed as follows: 491 (61%) were enrolled in the same college; 67 (8%) were enrolled in a different college; and 247 (31%) were not enrolled.

2348

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

3. Schools and colleges differed considerably in the proportions of students gained and lost due to intra-University migration.

4. Fall, 1962, freshman women enrolling in the same school for the Fall Quarter of 1963 had approximately the same mean predicted and earned averages as those who enrolled in a different school; the men changing schools were slightly higher on predicted and earned average than those not changing schools.

5. Among students enrolled Fall Quarter, 1963, the women had higher predicted and earned averages than the men; the predicted averages coincided closely with earned averages for both the men and the women.

6. Predicted averages of students remaining in the school or college of initial enrollment varied from college to college; earned averages varied in pretty much the same pattern as predicted averages, with the result that school of enrollment appeared to have relatively little effect upon whether a student achieved at the level predicted.

7. Students not enrolled Fall Quarter, 1963, had lower predicted and earned averages than enrolled students.

INTRA-UNIVERSITY MIGRATION OF NEW FRESHMEN: FALL, 1962 TO FALL, 1963
It is well known that many students select the school or college of initial enrollment without well-defined long-range educational or occu pational plans. Many, no doubt, follow a thumb rule of "when in doubt, enroll in Arts and Sciences." Others may alter their considered choices upon the gratuitous advice of upperclassmen. Perhaps all college per sonnel have at times wondered whether a different choice of curriculum --by chance or due to advisement--might have resulted in better selfrealization by an apathetic student.
This study will compare the relative success of Fall, 1962, new freshmen 1 who: were (1) enrolled in the same school or college the following Fall; (2) were enrolled in a different school or college the following Fall; and (3) were not enrolled the following Fall. Detailed migration data will be given by colleges and by sex. Some changes of college reported may actually be multiple changes. Also, there may be some students shown as not changing colleges who actually changed but were re-enrolled in the original college Fall, 1963.
Table I shows the pattern of mgiration of 888 male freshmen, broken down by schools of enrollment Fall, 1962, and Fall, 1963. Reten tion and migration out of a school are represented by the row to the
1 The freshmen were those enrolled Fall Quarter, 1962, who had first entered during that quarter or the preceding summer with 15 hours or less transfer credit.

right of the name of a college. Arts and Sciences, for example, retained 306 male students, while 20 migrated to Business Administration, 5 to Journalism, etc. The 306 retained may be compared with the original enrollment of 516, the difference representing losses due to migration and to the 176 individuals who were not enrolled in the University, Fall, 1963. Probably a more meaningful way of expressing the findings is as follows: of the 516 Arts and Sciences students enrolled Fall, 1962-340 returned Fall, 1963. Of these 340, 306 (90.0%) were still enrolled in Arts and Sciences, while 34 (10%) had changed to other schools. Par tially offsetting this loss of 34 students due to migration were 12 stu dents entering Arts and Sciences from other schools of initial enroll ment. These 12 students are shown in the 1963 column under the head ing (1), which represents Arts and Sciences. Two students were gained from Business, 2 from Journalism, etc.
The overall gain or loss due to migration was surprisingly small for men in most of the schools. The decrease in Arts and Sciences and the increase in Business Administration were largely due to the group of 20 students moving from Arts and Science to Business. Men enrolled in Business stayed with their original choice with only two exceptions (1.4%). As mentioned above, there may have been considerable migra tion not shown in this report among students not enrolled Fall, 1963.
Table II presents migration data for the female freshmen. Arts and Sciences women did not move in large numbers into Business, as did the men; over half of those leaving Arts and Sciences moved to Education. Interestingly, Education picked up students mainly from Arts and Sciences but also lost most heavily (9 out of 14) to Arts and Sciences.
Examination of the numbers of students not enrolled reveals that some of the colleges had much higher non-enrollment rates than others for the Fall Quarter, 1963. For all schools combined, men had a higher rate (35.8%) of non-enrollment than the women (30.7%). For the men, percentages ranged from 25.0 to 48.5. The percentages of the women not enrolled Fall, 1963, ranged from 20.0 to 42.0 (not including the percent age for agriculture, which was based on only 3 cases).
Table III summarizes for all schools and colleges the numbers and percentages of students: (1) who were enrolled in the same school or college for the Fall Quarters of 1962 and 1963; (2) who changed schools; and (3) who were not enrolled Fall, 1963. Women showed a

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

higher retention rate (69.3%) than men (64.2%) ; they were higher in both those staying in the same school and those changing schools. In rounded figures, about 6 out of 10 of the 1962 freshmen were still en rolled in their original school a year later; less than 1 out of every 10 was enrolled in a different school; and one in every 3 was not enrolled.

Of those not enrolled, there was undoubtedly a sizeable proportion who were absent because of the University ruling which prevents stu dents on probation from enrolling for a Fall Quarter. This ruling has the effect of raising the mean grade average of those remaining in school and probably lowering it for those not enrolled, thus widening the difference in achievement between enrolled and non-enrolled subjects.

Table IV shows the predicted and earned grades for men and women freshmen, according to enrollment status their second Fall Quarter
(1963). For those men and women remaining in the same college, pre dicted fall quarter average and cumulative average (through Spring Quarter, 1963) coincided quite closely. Predicted averages varied from college to college, but cumulative averages also varied in a similar pat tern. School of enrollment appeared to have relatively little influence upon whether a student achieved at the level predicted.

Women remaining in the college of initial enrollment had higher predicted averages than the men; they also earned correspondingly higher averages.

Women changing college of enrollment had mean predicted and earned averages closely approximating those remaining in the same school; for the men, there were modest differences in predicted average (1.2) and earned average (1.7) in favor of those changing colleges.

The predicted averages and earned averages of students not en rolled Fall, 1963, are also given in Table IV. As would be expected they are considerably below the other two groups in earned grade average. They are not quite so far behind the other two groups in predicted average, however. They have achieved well below their prediction. Many of these students will return Winter Quarter on probation.

It is interesting that the women who were not enrolled have a mean earned average of 70.8, which is only slightly below the average required for graduation. This suggests that many of these women have done at least marginal work, overall. Office of Admissions Research Report #63-13 indicated a cumulative average of 79.7 among women drop-outs in good standing. It seems probable that the women in the present study not enrolled Fall, 1963, include many who have terminated their formal education for reasons other than academic difficulty (for example, marriage).

Further study is needed to show migration and retention patterns over a more extended period, and to relate degrees earned to school of initial enrollment. Guidance Center Report R #62-4, "Student Attrition and Graduation in the Freshman Class of 1955," gives such informa-

NEEDS OF SOUTH GEORGIA COLLEGE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA

It is esential that a college which has room and board facilities be well balanced between its academic facilities on the one hand, and its auxiliary enterprise facilities on the other. Our present problem at South Georgia College is that we can take about 1200 students in our classrooms, but can house only 400 on our campus.

At the present time, there is being erected a boys dormitory to hold 150 students with Federal funds through the University System Building Authority. Already financed and almost ready for advertising for bids is a library building, which will seat 326 students. The dormitory has a project budget of $495,000, whereas the library has- a project budget of $344,554.

We critically need a new Physical Education plant. It should cost about $400,000. Our present physical education facility was planned for a student body of 250 students, whereas we now have and have had for the past three years, over 650 students. When the new dormitory is completed by the fall of 1964, our need for the physical education plant will become even more critical.

In order to balance our auxiliary enterprise facilities with the academic facilities, we need two more dormitories, one for men and one for women, which will accommodate 150 persons each. We can then house on our campus 850 students. Douglas, Georgia is large enough so that about 200 male students may room and board away from home, but off campus. Of course there will be always from 150 to 200 students living at home who are attending the college. We can then have around 1200 students, and attain a degree of efficiency in our operations that is now impossible for us as long as we have our present imbalance between auxiliary enterprise facilities and academic facilities.

There are several other smaller needs, such as an increase in the size of the dining hall, a new boiler for the central heating system, and conversion of our heating facilities from coal and L. P. gas to natural gas. These needs are well on the way to being met. I estimate that our minor needs will total about $75,000.

REPORT OF
CODE REVISION SUBCOMMITTEE
OF THE STANDING SPECIAL JUDICIARY COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE IN RE: STATUTORY AND CODE REVISION

During the 1963 session the members of this Subcommittee dis cussed the possibility of a revision of the 1933 Code. The Subcommittee felt it would be wise to have such a revision but agreed that a total revision would not be advisable. The Subcommittee contemplated a revision of the Code, Title by Title, so that citizens and lawyers would not be faced with the tremendous task of learning and digesting a vast, completely revised body of law at one time. With this thought in mind, the Chairman was authorized to study the matter during the interim so that the Subcommittee could have further discussions and issue its report and recommendations thereon at the 1964 session.
The Chairman discussed this subject on several occasions with the Legislative Counsel and other persons. It was found that statutory authority already exists which would enable the Office of Legislative Counsel to perform the exact functions which the Subcommittee has in mind. The Act creating the Legislative Services Committee and the Office of Legislative Counsel provides that the Committee shall provide for the revision and codification of the laws of this State beginning and continuing at and for such time may be determined by the Com mittee, with such revision and codification being subject to adoption by the General Assembly and approval by the Governor. The Act further provides that the Legislative Counsel shall assist the Committee with such revision and codification.
The Legislative Counsel informed the Chairman that this subject has been discussed by the Legislative Service Committee and that the members of that Committee have the same feelings toward this matter as does this Subcommittee. The main obstacle in such an undertaking has been the lack of sufficient personnel in the Office of Legislative Counsel. As the members of this Subcommittee know, the revision and codifica tion of various Titles of the Georgia Code is a monumental undertaking and would require the full time services of several attorneys.
Due to the particular duties which the Office of Legislative Counsel must perform, it is the opinion of this Subcommittee that this Office is ideally situated to perform this task. Additional personnel must be employed for approximately five to six months out of each year for bill drafting purposes. If additional personnel were to be employed on a permanent, fulltime basis this would enable the Office to undertake revision. It would also make for better bill drafting inasmuch as exper ienced drafters would be available for such session and inexperienced persons would not have to be employed. The Legislative Services Com mittee, which consists of certain specified members of the House and Senate, including the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of each branch, is ideally constituted to supervise the activities of the Office of Legislative Counsel with relaton to this undertaking.

2360

JOUENAL OF THE HOUSE,
In view of the above, the Subcommittee recommends that the Office of Legislative Counsel undertake the revsion of the Code of Georgia of 1933 and that sufficient personnel be employed to carry out this pro ject. The Subcommittee further recommends that such revision and codification be accomplished on the basis of a revision of the various Titles, one by one, and that as such Titles are completed they be sub mitted to the General Assembly for its consideration. This Subcommittee stands ready to discuss this report and its recommendations with the Legislative Services Committee and with the Office of Legislative Counsel. The members of the Subcommittee also offer their backing and assistance in this most worthwhile endeavor.

TO: THE 1964 SESSION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA
REPORT OF THE ELECTION LAWS STUDY COMMITTEE
The Election Laws Study Committee was created by a Resolution of the General Assembly approved April 12, 1963 (Ga. Laws, 1963, pp. 492-494). This Assembly has charged the Committee with the duty of formulating a complete revision and recodification of the primary and elections laws of Georgia. In fulfilling this duty, the Committee has prepared a 193 page bill providing for the comprehensive regulation of federal, state and county elections and of primaries to nominate candi dates for federal, state and county offices. This Bill was introduced yesterday in the House of Representatives and was designated HB 830, and was introduced today in the Senate and was designated SB 205. The background and salient features of this Bill will now be described.
The Committee has been confronted with a great task in preparing a revision of Georgia's primary and election laws. Our State has never had a comprehensive set of laws on this subject and, consequently, the present ones are a hodgepodge of local and general laws which have haphazardly accumulated for over a century. They are so complex and obscure that virtually every primary and election call for a rash of legal opinions from government attorneys. These factors, and a com parison of our laws with those of other states, clearly illustrate that our primary and election laws are among the worst in the Nation.
Since its organizational meeting on June 12, 1963, the Committee has held numerous meetings in Atlanta and has held public hearings there and in Columbus, Rome, Savannah and Valdosta.
On October 25, 1963, the Committee published its first draft of its proposed election code and distributed copies to the members of the

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2361

General Assembly, the Ordinaries, the Boards of Registrars, and other interested parties. The Committee has received and incorporated into the Bill, many valuable suggestions from these sources and from the public. Furthermore, the Committee and its staff have diligently studied the primary and election laws of other states and have thereby gained many important techniques for improving our laws.

The Committee has striven to the best of its ability to devise a sim plified and comprehensive code of laws, written in plain language, that will secure purity and fairness in all primaries and elections. This effort has produced the present Bill (193 pages), which is largely a condensa tion of the present laws on this subject which number well over 1000 pages (see Section 34-2001).

In analyzing the Bill, we should first realize that it must comply in all respects with the present Constitution because a new constitution cannot become effective until it is ratified by the people at a general election. Furthermore, the present Constitution fixes the residence re quirements and literacy qualifications for voting and, therefore, changes in these matters cannot now be made by statute, but must await initial change in the Constitution.

The more significant changes from present law contained in this Bill are as follows.
The Bill designates the Secretary of State as the ex officio Com missioner of Elections (Section 34-201) and empowers him to promul gate, consistent with law, rules and regulations that are conducive to the uniform, fair and orderly conduct of primaries and elections [ (Sec tion 34-202 (b)]. He is also authorized to take over the conduct of a pri mary or election within a county when he has reason to believe, after a hearing, that the laws governing the conduct of same will not be fairly and properly enforced within the county (Section 34-203). Adequate judicial review of this procedure is provided in order to promptly curb any abuse of discretion by the Commissioner [Section 34-204 (f) (g)].
The Bill requires the grand jury of each county to appoint four watchers for each election district within the county. The board of registrars is then required to assign two of these watchers to an election district when twenty-five or more electors thereof petition for their assignment as a reasonable precaution to secure the fairness of any primary or election to be held within the district. When so assigned, the two watchers are required to observe the poll officers in the performance of their duties and to report any irregularities. Section 34-512.

The Bill reduces the voters' registration deadline from six months prior to a November general election to approximately four months be fore, by fixing the deadline at July 1 (Section 34-611). The same dead line would apply for the September primary (Section 34-624).
The Bill eliminates the difficult thirty-question voter qualificaton test from the statute, and places the responsbility for preparng such a test on the Commissioner of Elections (Section 34-618). The Committee

2362

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

expects that the Commissioner will devise a suitable ten-question test to determine an applicant's knowledge of basic facts concerning the Federal and State Governments.

Present law limits absentee voter registration to members of the armed forces and their dependents. The Bill expands this privilege, in ac cordance with the federal recommendation, to include Georgia residents (and their dependents) tempororily residing outside of the State when they are members of the merchant marine, federal employees, or mem bers of the armed forces (Section 34-619).

The Bill authorizes the ordinary to create election districts to suit the convenience of voters (Section 34-702). The present law in many instances requires that the boundaries of election districts coincide with those of militia districts and city wards--a practice which generally results in the neglect of voter convenience.

The Bill requires that all primaries for the nomination of candidates to seek office in a November general election must be held on the second Wednesday in September; but excepts from this requirement early pri maries held or to be held to nominate candidates for membership in the House of Representatives or for county offices to be filled in the 1964 November General Election (Section 34-801).

The Bill requires political organizations to register with the Secre tary of State so that their identity can be determined (Section 34-901).

The Bill requires candidates seeking party nomination in general primaries (Section 34-1006). or seeking public office in general elections [Section 34-1001 (b)], to qualify at least forty-five days prior to the primary or election. In the case of special primaries or elections, such qualification deadline is reduced to fifteen days [Section 34-1001 (b) and 34-1006]. Candidates seeking to qualify by petition are required to file at least sixty-five days prior to the general election in order to provide sufficient time for checking the accuracy of the petition, and to avoid any delay in the printing and mailing of absentee ballots upon the ex piration of the forty-five day deadline for other candidates [Section 34-1001 (b)].

The minimum number of signatures required on a petition has been reduced by the Bill from 5% of the registered voters of the area involved in the last general election to 3% of such voters [Section 34-1010(b)].

The marking of paper ballots has been greatly simplified in the Bill by permitting voters to either vote straight party tickets or, in the case of those desiring to split their tickets, to place an "X" by the name of each person voted for [Section 34-1103(b)].

The use of voting machines has been liberalized in the Bill by leaving the question of their use to local determination (Sections 34-1202 and 34-1203).

Also, the Bill tightens up the requirements for voter identification at the polls during primaries and elections (Section 34-1302), and limits voter assistance at the polls to those who are physically disabled (Sec tion 34-1317).

The Bill tightens up the absentee voting procedure by placing its administration under the board of registrars (Chapter 34-14), and by eliminating acknowledgements of absentee voting by notary publics (Section 34-1406).

The Bill requires that a candidate must receive a majority vote in order to obtain party nomination in a primary or to be elected to public office in an election (Section 34-1514).

The Bill expands the vote recount procedure to include both primar ies and elections (Section 34-1701).

The Committee is deeply appreciative of the great public interest shown in its work, and hopes that the Bill will meet with the approval of the Governor, the General Assembly, and the people of Georgia.

The Committee believes it to be in the best interest of the people for the Bill to be enacted at this Session with such changes as the Legis lature deems advisable.

SUBJECT:

REPORT OF COMMITTEE TO STUDY A RETIREMENT PRO GRAM FOR THE DEPARTMENT OP PUBLIC SAFETY, AP POINTED BY THE SPEAKER PURSUANT TO HOUSE RESO LUTION 274 ADOPTED BY THE HOUSE AT THE REGULAR
1963 SESSION OF THE GEORGIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The Speaker appointed the following Representatives to serve on the Committee:
Honorable Mackie Simpson, Wheeler County Honorable J. Lucius Black, Webster County Honorable Ed Pulford, Terrell County Honorable A. Hewlette Harrell, Fayette County Honorable William E. Laite, Jr., Bibb County Honorable E. Brooks Lewis, Wilkinson County Honorable Sam S. Singer, Stewart County Honorable W. S. Stuckey, Dodge County

Honorable Mackie Simpson of Wheeler County was designated Chairman of the Committee by the Speaker, and Honorable William E. Laite, Jr. of Bibb County was elected Secretary. After making the preliminary organizational decisions, the Committee proceeded to study at length the problems involved in creating a separate retirement system for the Department of Public Safety.
Mr. Tom Sangster of the State Revenue Department, former Representative from Dooly County and Chairman of the 1962 Committee to Study a Retirement Pro gram for the Department of Public Safety, was present at the meeting. In re viewing the findings of the 1962 Committee, Mr. Sangster made the following comment and observations:

(1) He stated that the 1962 Committee engaged the sei'vices of the actuarial firm of Bowles & Tillinghast, Inc. After a study, this firm submitted a proposed plan for the Department of Public Safety which included the recommendation that

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2365

the contribution of employees be 10% of their salary and that the State contribu tion to support the proposed plan be at least 20% of the total payroll of the par ticipants in the program. With these contributions on the part of the participating individulas and the State, this program would allow the retired individuals a monthly income actually greater than their net take-home pay before retirement. Of course, the basic retirement benefits would be supplemented by Social Security benefits, where applicable, making the retired individuals under this program substantially better off economically than they were before retirement.

(2) Mr. Sangster also stated that the 1962 Committee studied the Louisiana State Retirement Fund, which provides a lucrative retirement system for its participants. He pointed out, however, that the Louisiana Legislature has had to appropriate approximately $75,000 on two occasions to supplement the fund, which indicates that the Louisiana Plan is not actuarially sound.

(3) Mr. Sangster further advised that the 1962 Committee agreed that the hiring age of members of the Department of Public Safety should be 21-30 years of age, while the retirement age should be 52-60 years of age with mandatory retirement at age 60 for all personnel except the Commander, Director, Deputy Director, and Treasurer of the Georgia State Patrol and the Director of the Geor gia Bureau of Investigation.
Col. Robert H. Burson, former Deputy Director of the Department of Public Safety and now Director of the State Board of Corrections, pointed out that the Department of Public Safety presently employs approximately 100 men over 50 years of age. He further advised that because of their advanced age these men were often unable to perform effective road patrol service, but were unable to retire from an economic standpoint and not ready to retire from the standpoint of general health and vigor insofar as other duties are concerned.
Maj. Everedge B. Harbin, Deputy Director of the Department of Public Safety, stated that the employees of the Department had expressed a desire that the proposed retirement plan incorporate a simple procedure whereby they could compute their own benefits as of any particular date. The Committee agrees that this would be a desirable feature and recommends its consideration in future studies.
The Members of the Committee would like to express their appreciation to Mr. Frank DeLamar, Executive Director of the Employees Retirement System, for his cooperation and assistance in answering the Committee's many inquiries con cerning retirement systems.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
Based upon the proposed plan submitted by Bowles & Tillinghast, Inc. for the 1962 Committee, this Committee concurs with the 1962 Committee in the belief that the proposed plan is not economically feasible either to the State or to the employees affected. Therefore, this Committee recommends that this study be continued and that a committee be appointed by the Speaker at the end of the 1964 Session of the Georgia General Assembly to continue this study and that the 1964 Committee be authorized to hire an actuary to thoroughly study and submit a proposed plan creating a realistic and separate retirement system for the Department of Public Safety which would be economically feasible to both the State and the employees affected.

2366

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The findings of this Committee revealed that approximately 100 men now employ ed by the Georgia State Patrol are over 50 years of age. Because of their advanced age, these men are often unable to perform effective road patrol service, but they feel they cannot retire because of economic considerations. Therefore, this Com mittee recommends that the Weighing Division be transferred from the State Highway Department to the Department of Public Safety. The Department of Public Safety would then be in a position to shift personnel over 50 years of age to the Weighing Division to continue working and create trooper openings for which younger men could be hired.
Present Georgia statutes give both the State Highway Department and the Public Service Commission authority to enforce weights and lengths of motor vehicles in the State of Georgia. This Committee recommends that the Depart ment of Public Safety be given exclusive authority to enforce weights and lengths of motor vehicles in the State of Georgia.
At the present time, fines derived from cases made by the Georgia State Patrol are remitted to the Treasury of the county in which the case is made.
This Committee recommends that 100% of the fines derived from cases made by the Georgia State Patrol be remitted to the General Fund of the State Treasurer and that the Budget Bureau make available to the Department of Public Safety an amount not less than the amount taken in by the State under these provisions. This sum shall be for road patrol purposes only and it shall be in addition to any sums now appropriated to or available to said Department.
The 1963 Committee agrees with the 1962 Committee that the hiring age of mem bers of the Department of Public Safety should be 21-30 years of age.
Section 15 of the Employees Retirement System Act now allows law enforcement officers under the jurisdiction of the Department of Public Safety to retire at age 56 instead of age 60. However, the enforcement officers retiring under this Section now receive benefits at age 56 instead of age 60 if they retire at age 56. The Committee recommends that Section 15 of the Employees Retirement Act be amended to provide that officers under the jurisdiction of the Department of Public Safety be allowed to retire at age 55 instead of age 60, and age 60 instead of age 65, and that their retirement benefits be projected to age 60 or 65, res pectively.

AT MILLEDGEVILLE AND GRACEWOOD AT AUGUSTA

(House Resolution 274)

TO: THE GOVERNOR, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND ALL MEMBERS OF THE GEORGIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Introduction

Pursuant to authority contained in House Resolution 274, the Com mittee to Inspect the Operation and Maintenance of the Facilities at the State Hospital at Milledgeville and Gracewood at Augusta was created. The Committee was composed of:

Representative J. Floyd Harrington, Baldwin County; Representative Milton Jones, Muscogee County; Representative M. Parks Brown, Hart County; Representative Curtis C. Herndon, Appling County; Representa tive N. Dudley Horton, Jr., Putnam County; Representative James M. Hull Jr., Richmond County; Representative Joe Isenberg, Glynn County. Representative J. Floyd Harrington was designateed Chair man and Representative Milton Jones was designated Secretary of the Committee.

The Committee met at Milledgeville State Hospital on October 7, 1963, at 10:30 a.m. to investigate the operation and facilities at Milledge ville State Hospital. After a preliminary briefing from Representative J. Floyd Harrington of Baldwin County, the Committee conferred with Dr. I. H. McKinnon, Superintendent of Milledgeville State Hospital. After the conference with Dr. McKinnon, the Committee visited several buildings where patients were located and in particular the Yarborough Rehabilitation Building and the Centralized Kitchen were meals for all 13,000 patients and those employees who desire to eat at the hospital were prepared. At the Boone Building, it was noticed that there were

2368

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

40 to 50 children with organic brain damage who were being provided custodial care. The next day, October 8, 1963, the Committee visited Mr. W. R. Crittenden, Business Administrator of the Milledgeville State Hos pital. He stated that he spent approximately 16.5 million dollars for the current year. The Committee explored in detail the purchasing proce dures of the Milledgeville State Hospital with special emphasis upon the food items obtained from the farm. It appears that this farm is operated primarily by patients and prisoners.

The next meeting on Tuesday, October 22, 1963, was with Dr. Normal Pursley at the Gracewood State School and Hospital where men tally retarded children are provided for. After a conference with Dr. Pursley, we toured each and every facility at Gracewood. We had a briefing from Dr. Pursley on the new facility proposed to be built in the Metroplitan Atlanta area. We met again on October 31, 1963, at the State Health Department in Atlanta with Dr. Addison M. Duval. We had an extensive conference concerning current problems and future plans in the treatment of the mentally ill in the State of Georgia. On November 13, 1963, the Committee also with Dr. Pursley went to Raleigh, North Carolina to visit facilities for the mentally ill for that State. On Novem ber 14, 1963, the Committee visited the Murdock Center for Mentally Re tarded at Butner, North Carolina, which is one of the three such institu tions in the State of North Carolina for the mentally retarded. The afternoon of the 14th, the Committee visited the Dorothea Dix Hospital for the mentally ill which is one of four such hospitals in the State of North Carolina. On November 15, 1963, the Committee had a conference with Dr. Sam Cornwell who is Director of the Division of Mental Re tardation of the Department of Mental Health of North Carolina. He briefed us on the present conditions of the mental situation in North Carolina and the future plans of that state in this field. It was found by the Committee that the mental health officials of North Carolina stated that their farming facilities were beneficial both financially and in the therapy of the inmates of the various institutions. On November 16, 1963, the Committee returned.
Specific Findings and Recommendations Relating to Milledgeville State Hospital
The Committee found at the Milledgeville State Hospital some of the newest and most modern facilities to be found anywhere in the United States, mainly the Yarborough Rehabilitation Center and the Centraliz ed Kitchen. Regrettably, we also viewed facilities which obviously fail to meet requirements of this Hospital. We found further that a vast major ity of the 13,000 patients do not receive any psychological therapy what soever because of the lack of adequately trained personnel. We found over. 3,000 patients which are over the age of 70. We found an intake-output of 6,000 patients per year of which 5,000 are discharged and 1,000 die. We found that 60% of these are discharged within 90 days by virtue of the fact most of them are placed in the Intensive Treatment Center and get adequate therapy. However, due to the lack of follow up facilities on the local level, such as day care centers, 30% are returning. This is an improvement over the 37% which were returning prior to the implemen tation of an out-patient clinic at the hospital in April of this year.
We viewed with much pleasure results of the recent Chapels of all Faiths Drive which resulted in the construction of five chapels with the

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2369

over $900,000.00 raised by voluntary contributions from the citizens of the State of Georgia. We found that in addition to providing a meeting for those patients who wish to worship that they served a favorable second ary purpose of providing religious therapy because of the affiliations of all of the major seminaries. We found the hospital was operating a farm which was producing a great deal of the food used at the hospital. This farm, as was much the case at Gracewood, was operated jointly by pris oners and patients. Despite the initial impression which might be con ceived that the patients are being forced to labor, it was the finding of the Committee that no patient is forced to work. He is allowed to set his own pace and work as much or as little as he so desires. The patients working on the farm are limited to those that are physically and psy chologically able. It is the feeling of this Committee that while farming may or may not have therapeutic value, it might be a good form of therapy to enable patients to get out into the fresh air rather than to remain behind closed doors all of the time. We further feel that there is some evidence to indicate that the abolition of the farm would raise the operating cost of the hospital by 1.25 million dollars. In view of the further fact that it does provide something for certain of the patients to do, it is the recommendation of this Committee that the farming operation be permitted. If more emphasis would be put on the operation of the farm rather than trying to get rid of it, it is felt that an even further savings would be effectuated.

It was noticed that the veterans unit at the Milledgeville State Hospital was in the most deplorable condition of the facilities visited. While we realize that this is not directly an operation of the Milledge ville State Hospital under the Department of Health, we feel that it should be called to the attention of the proper authorities for remedial action.

Specific Findings and Recommendations Relating to Gracewood State School and Hospital

The Committee found some of the most modern and up-to-date facilities in the southeast, specifically the Clinic and restaurant and the newly constructed Admission and Evaluation Building. In contrast to those buildings we found deplorable housing conditions for certain of the inmates where, in very small areas, there were confined retarded children of vastly varying ages with minimum supervision and under conditions which need immediate attention. The Committee found that the administrator, Dr. Norman Pursley and his staff were doing an excellent job with the budget available. The Committee was acutely aware that increased appropriations should be made to this institution. This Committee found that there was definite void in therapy due to the lack of funds to train personnel to administer such therapy. Gracewood now houses some 1,700 patients which represent patients housed in excess of 20% of accommodations available and that Gracewood has a known waiting list of 1,400 of which at least 1,000 are in need of imme diate care to prevent further deterioration of their existing conditions. This does not include the innumerable cases in the State of Georgia which have made no application because of the known waiting list. The Committee found that there was a dire need of increased facilities for Negros in the retarded field. We found that the newly constructed Ad-

2370

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

mission and Evaluation Building was not completely furnished, nor was it staffed at the time of the inspection. With regard to personnel, it was found that there was an adequate number of physicians mainly because of the medical school's program. The most glaring personnel need was found in the field of psychologists and social workers. At the present time there is only one social worker on the staff and two psy chologists. We found cottages which hold sixty patients with only one attendant. Because of this crowded situation it was observed that there was, of necessity, an intermingling of patients of different ages and different degrees of disturbance, whereas, in fact there should be a divi sion with more supervision given to the more disturbed patients. This Committee observed that Gracewood had a large tract of land devoted to farming purposes which also served the dual purposes of providing therapy to the inmates.

This Committee recommends that the Gracewood budget be in creased sufficiently to enable the accomplishment of the following pur poses:

1. Employment of additional social workers and psychologists.
2. Renovation and improvement of old buildings and construction of additional new buildings for the purpose of housing patients.
3. Employment of additional supervisory personnel as trained at tendants so that there will be one attendant for every 30 patients.
4. Complete the furnishing and staffing of the administrative Ad mission and Evaluation Building.
5. Immediate construction of a minimum of two similar type institu tions one in the Atlanta area of a minimum of 1,000 beds and one in the south Georgia area with a minimum of 500 beds.

General Recommendations
It was felt by the Committee that overall operation of the mental health program in the State of Georgia is as good as could be expected in view of the facilities, personnel and budget allowed. There is much that remains to be done. It is felt by this Committee that under the leadership of the Division of Mental Health, mainly Drs. Duval, McKinnon and Pursley, plans have been drawn up and are in the process of being drawn up which will enable us to achieve the goals of mental health provided that the Georgia General Assembly provides the neces sary appropriation.
1. Specifically, this Committee recommends that the new Constitu tion, or in the event of no Constitution, a Constitutional Amendment, provided Constitutional authority for the granting of scholarships to undergraduate nurses. Provision of nurses for these facilities is one of the greatest problems and by providing them scholarships in order to take advantage of the training programs at these institutions, it is felt that this will go a long way in solving the personnel problem insofar as nurses is concerned.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2371

2. The construction of a new 600 bed building to replace the wooden buildings now in use at the Milledgeville State Hospital.

3. The immediate construction of a new facility in the Atlanta Metropolian area for mentally retarded children.

4. The implementation of the present plans to go to community type centers for the treatment of the mentally ill and mentally retarded which would be scheduled in convenient locations about the State of Georgia. It is felt that this will provide better treatment for the patients, more conveniences for the families of the patients and an adequate pro gram of outpatient treatment which will be administered at a great saving to the taxpayers of the State of Georgia.

5. The Committee is greatly concerned over the possible tragedy in the nature of a fire in any building which houses patients. While most of the buildings are supposed to be of fire proof construction, there are some wooden buildings still in use and these are particularly susceptible to fire. It was noticed both at Milledgeville and Gracewood that there is a fire department operated as a part of that facility. It is felt, however, that the equipment and training of these fire departments leave an awful lot to be desired. The people of the State of Georgia can ill afford such a tragedy that possibly could occur in the event a fire should break out in one of these buildings. It is recommended that the Fire Commissioner's Office, in conjunction with the Department of Health, study this matter with a view toward upgrading both the train ing and facilities of these fire departments.

This Committee, while investigating North Carolina facilities, was advised that North Carolina was receiving a subsidy on milk consump tion from the federal government with reference to the retarded child ren's education program and their consumption of milk. Upon further investigation, this Committee found that Georgia is not receiving such subsidy for the consumption of milk and recommends that proper authori ties of the State investigate this matter and attempt to acquire similar treatment as is given North Carolina by the federal authorities and al locate the necessary appropriation to this furtherance.

Pursuant to authority contained in House Resolution 274, the fol lowing Committee inspected the operation at the Georgia State Prison at Reidsville and Rock Quarry Prison Branch at Buford, to wit: Morgan of Gwinnett, Chairman, Ponsell of Ware, Baughman of Early, Kirkland of Tattnall, Lee of Clinch, Raulerson of Echols and Underwood of Tay lor; and submit herewith the following report.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2373

Findings

Because of the limited time and scope of this investigation, it was possible only to visit each of the two institutions named, and report findings based upon these visits, whereas a more comprehensive study could have produced a more thorough and inclusive report relating to the entire penal system.

The Committee paid visits to the Georgia State Prison at Reidsville and Rock Quarry Prison Branch at Buford and found both prisons to be efficiently operated. The food is of good quality and is well pre pared. The sanitation standards are satisfactory and the general opera tion is highly commendatory insofar as administration is concerned. Adequate medical, surgical, and dental services are available to prison ers, and the hospital facilities and medical stall at the State Prison are particularly outstanding. Religious services are available to all prisoners and a new chapel has just been completed at the State Prison.

The farm at the State Prison is generally recognized as one of the most outstanding such operations in the country, and the Com mittee was greatly impressed with the efficiency and comprehensive nature of this operation. All of the vegetables, meat, milk, eggs, and syrup consumed at the State Prison is produced on this farm, and some quantities of certain items are furnished to other prisons within the state system and to the State Hospital at Milledgeville.

In addition to the outstanding farm operation, Warden Balkcom is to be commended for the construction and equipping of an up-to-date library for inmates, and inaugurating a program of schooling for illiter ates. These two additions to the prison program will be of inestimable value in the rehabilitation of prisoners.

The greatest need at both prisons visited was in jobs to keep prison ers occupied. Many prisoners are idle due to the fact that there is no type work for them to do. At the State Prison at Reidsville, it was obvious that effort was being made to spread the work out so as to give assignments to as many prisoners as possible, though there appeared to be only about one-half enough jobs to go around.

At Rock Quarry the situation is even worse since there is no work whatsoever available for inmates except for the limited number employ ed in the kitchen and at other domestic chores. At Rock Quarry there are now 108 prisoners, approximately 85 of which have absolutely noth ing to do. This unfortunate situation has resulted from the closing of the prison along with the quarry operation in June 1963 and the sub sequent return of prisoners which was made necessary by the rioting at Reidsville and Milledgeville.

It is the Committee's observation that the estimated $25,000.00 damage done at Reidsville from riots was caused by the transfer of the maximum security type prisoners from Buford to Reidsville. In addition to this damage, the Committee observed that the heavy metal doors of

2374

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the cells on the ground level at the Buford prison had been cut away and destroyed, involving an additional loss to the State of approximately $100,000.00 This Committee is unable to determine by whose decision this action was taken. The Committee feels that this type of confinement is necessary for disciplining the incorrigible type prisoner, and believes that at least a portion of these cells should be restored and the Warden have the p rivilege of using them for disciplinary action when he deems necessary. Warden Thompson is to be commended for maintaining a high degree of discipline and morale despite the adverse conditions that exist there.

There is a need for repair work on some of the buildings at both Rock Quarry and Reidsville, and there is a real need for new equipment buses and trucks at Rock Quarry if the full operation is restored as is herein recommended.

The State Prison continues to be overcrowded despite the completion and full occupancy of the two new cell blocks housing 480 prisoners. With more than 2,800 inmates, the prison still has some 500 above
"capacity".

Recommendations
1. The Committee recommends the expansion of the industrial and work programs at the Georgia State Prison so as to provide work for prisoners that will be constructive and which will contribute to their rehabilitation by teaching a vocation. To aid the rehabilitation program of the penal system, the Committee w ould like to recommend that all equipment and products used by the State be manufactured by inmate labor insofar as the prison system is equipped to do so. This could in clude such items as highway signs, highway paint, garments and uni forms for all State employees, printing, school desks, office equipment, and concrete pipe. This Committee does not recommend the use of prison labor to compete with private enterprise, but this recommendation is designed to include only those items and services to be used by the various State agencies. This would serve the dual purpose of helping to rehabilitate criminals and at the same time reduce state expenditures on these items now purchased on the open market.
2. The Committee recommends the immediate reactivation of the quarry operation at Rock Quarry Prison Branch at Buford and the continued operation of this prison as an institution for incorrigibles for which it was originally constructed. The work and reactivation should be done insofar as possible with prison labor.
3. The Committee recommends additional appropriations for the Department of Corrections to cover urgently needed maintenance and repair work at both Reidsville and Buford.
4. The Committee recommends that the General Assembly give to the Governor and to the Board of Corrections its wholehearted interest and support in attaining the type prison system that the State of Geor gia needs.

REPORT OF HOUSE COMMITTEE TO STUDY THE SCHOOL DROP OUT PROBLEM

This committee has concerned itself with what has come to be known as the "Drop-Out" problem. By definition, we assume that a drop out from the state school system s a person who, having once enrolled, has failed to complete twelve school years of study.

To set forth the harmful effects upon Georgia of a drop out would be to state the obvious. It should shock and disappoint every Georgian to know, however, that this State leads the nation in the number of drop outs from its school system. To acknowledge, as reflected in statistics of the State Department of Education, that two-thirds (2/3) of Georgia's adults were school drop outs is painful to those of us who take pride in our State.

While this report will not set forth a great amount of data, it is, we think, instructive in determining the scope of this problem to reflect upon the following:

1. Almost 46,000 children of high school age are not in school in Georgia. This represents sixteen percent (16%) of high school age children in this state.
2. In 1958-59, the ninth grade classes in the State of Georgia numbered 64,000 children. As this group moved from the ninth grade to the tenth grade to the eleventh grade and then on to graduation, forty-four percent (44%) fell by the wayside and did not get their diploma.
3. Over 355,000 or eighteen percent (18%) of the adults in Georgia have less than five years of schooling and may be considered functional illiterates.

It is beyond the scope of this Committee's inpuiry to make an indepth study of all aspects of the problem. There can be no panacea for this problem and it should be obvious that there exists no monistic theory or reason as to why a child finds himself no longer in school and no longer participating in formal education. An effort to particularize such reasons for the occurrence of a drop out would so burden a report of this nature as to make it unduly tedious and indeed, meaningless.

We must conclude, however, that the extraordinarily high rate of drop outs in tthis State indicates that neither the State Educational

2376

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

System, or the local systems, or the people of this State, have suffi ciently recognized this problem as a serious and demanding one, and that there does not exist a method incorporated within our educational system to cope with and take effective action to deal with the problem.

In the opinion of this Committee, the study just completed by the Governor's Commission on Education sheds much light upon the school drop out problem. We wish to praise the efforts of that Commission and heartily endorse its recommendations.

In the light of that report, we recommend that the following overt efforts be made to enable the schools to retain those students now con sidered potential "drop-outs".

^

I. It is felt by the members of this Committee that notwithstand

ing the great difficulty, if not impossibility, of designating those

particular areas of greatest concern in avoiding the drop out

problem, it is perhaps fair to say that the absence of reading

skill is a principle reason for the drop out. A pupil's failure

to read well, of course, leads to his discouragement. It appears

also to this Committee that the typical drop out is the student who

fails early in his school career and beginning in the third and fourth

grades shows a decline in scholarship. Therefore, the Committee

feels it is imperative to immediately implement a program designed

to upgrade reading abilities and skills of student.

II. This committee feels that serious inquiry should be made into the provision of statutes with reference to the payment of welfare to a family with a child sixteen or over who is currently attending school. Under the present law, upon the attainment of age sixteen, welfare payments are no longer permissible. Thus, in many ceases, this student must withdraw from school and become employed in order to sustain his parent or parents and his brothers and sisters. We feel that welfare payments should continue for that student, who is beyond age sixteen, if he is regularly attending school and is maintaining his work satisfactorily. This Committee feels that such a provision would not only allow such student to continue and complete his high school work, but would in all probability be a very great inducement to do so. Such continuation, leading to a gradua tion from high school, would of course be profoundly beneficial not only to the student, but to his community and to the State. III. The Committee points out that where a community is apathetic toward the compulsory attendance law of this State, there will be great difficulty in avoiding the drop out problem. It is therefore recommended that increased emphasis be placed upon the enforce ment of such local or state compulsory attendance laws.

This Committee feels that the greatest contributing factor insofar as the drop out problem is concerned is the habitual repeater. The responsibility for this problem is usually passed back down through the grade levels to the elementary teachers.
This Committee also realizes that the system must pass some of those students in the early elementary grades to allow room for next

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2377

year's class, for they deserve the same chance as their predecessors. Hence, many students progress to more advanced work not properly pre pared and even bored with a subject they once enjoyed.

We, therefore, recommend that certain fundamental changes be made to enable these future "drop-outs" to obtain a second chance.

We propose that those schools desiring additional aid and willing to carry their fair share locally be provided with an additional two months (8 weeks, or 40 days) pay for each required teacher to work during the summer. This teacher should instruct those students who have failed to advance to the second grade, for a period of eight weeks during these summer months. This instruction should be at no charge to the student, and the state should allow per-diem. for transportation of said student at .03 mile. This teacher should be paid at the rate of $300 per month. The teacher units could be alloted at the rate of one teacher for each five first grades or fraction thereof.

This program should be voluntary in all respects. Any system ap plying before exploration of funds alloted should be accepted. Any child attending should gain, if possible, passage to the second grade.

The local system should pay for all necessary equipment which it deems necessary, and any salary supplement for the teachers involved at the local level if the system so desires.

This Committee has been impressed with the great amount of in formation and data which has been collected upon the subject of school drop outs, both in this State and nationally. It has been particularly impressed with the work of the Atlanta Board of Education in its study of the drop out situation and with the information which has been made available to members of the General Assembly by the State Department of Education. This Committee has observed the research memoranda of National Education Association of the United States and in particular its memorandum of August, 1961 and of April, 1963, which consists of intensive studies dealing with causes of drop outs and providing statisti cal information. These memoranda and other information which has been observed by this Committee have provided us with a very generous bib liography of material on the subject of drop outs and upon the matter of the economic cost to a community of the student who does not com plete his public school education.

While there are specific actions which can be taken to improve the curriculm of the school, qualifications of the teacher, the physical facili ties of the school and classroom, the texbooks and other instructional materials, and other related materials and matters, it is crystal clear to this Committee that the basic solution to the State's great drop out problem, is an increased community and family awareness of the magni tude and the very existence of this problem. Basically, the motivation to learn and the desire to excel derives from the home. A striving for excellence and a pride in competence should be instilled in every student by those in his home and those in his community. This Committee there fore calls upon every member of the General Assembly, of the press and radio and every citizen of the State to recognize the need to provide

Honorable Milton A. Carlton, Senator, 21st District

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2381

Honorable Joseph E. Loggins, Senator, 53rd District

The Committee was duly organized with Honorable W. Frank Branch, Representative, Tift County, being elected Chairman and Honor able Philip M. Chandler, Representative, Baldwin County, being elected Secretary.
The specific properties involved in the authorized study include the "Mansion Site Property" in Atlanta, the "Hotel Property" in Chat tanooga, Tennessee and the property of the Western and Atlantic Rail road extending from Atlanta, Georgia to Chattanooga, Tennessee. This report is confined principally to the Committee's findings and recom mendations on the "Hotel Property" in Chattanooga and the property of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, the "Mansion Site Property" being the subject of a separate report.

CHATTANOOGA HOTEL PROPERTY
This property was originally included as part of the Western and Atlantic Railroad terminal facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee but was long ago abandoned for such purposes. The property, not being needed for railroad purposes, was deleted from the current railroad lease ex ecuted in 1917 and has since been administered separately by the State with jurisdiction now being vested in the State Properties Commission, composed of the Governor, the Chairman of the Public Service Commis sion and the State Treasurer.
The property consists of the Plaza Hotel, a four-story hotel located in the triangle formed by Market Street, Georgia Avenue and 10th Street and the site of the old Eastern Hotel, a rectangular lot located at the southeast corner of Market Street and East Eleventh Street on which the present lessee has erected a modern multistory office building which is occupied by the Tennessee Valley Authority.
The Plaza Hotel is currently under lease to the Plaza Hotel Com pany, Inc. at an annual rental of $13,698.78 with the lease terminating December 31, 1975. The site of the Eastern Hotel is under lease until October 31, 2049 to the Tennessee Valley Hotels, Inc. at a rental current ly $4,800 per year, increasing to $6,000 per year on November 1, 1965, to $7,500 per year on November 1, 1980 and $10,000 per year on Novem ber 1, 2000. Both the Plaza Hotel building and the office building on the site of the old Eastern Hotel will revert to the State of Georgia at the expiration of the leases.
Both of these properties are being adequately maintained by the lessees and the rentals and other lease provisions are being fully com plied with. The leases on these properties still have a number of years to run and the only action necessary to be taken by the State at this time is the continued supervision of performance under the leases.

WESTERN AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD
The Western and Atlantic Railroad extends from Atlanta, Georgia to Chattanooga, Tennessee (see attached map) and has been in the

2382

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

possession of the State of Georgia since its construction by the State beginning in 1837 and completed in 1850. The property includes not only railroad right-of-way and track and station facilities, but also a sub stantial amount of other valuable land in the principal cities along the route - much of such other land either used for or available for com mercial development.

The present lease of the Western and Atlantic Railroad was ex ecuted in 1917 with the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway as lessee. The Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway was merged into the Louisville and Nashville Railroad effective August 30, 1957, and by operation of law the Louisville and Nashville Railroad became its successor as lessee of this State-owned property. The lease provides for an annual rental of $540,000, plus an annual expenditure of $60,000 as "Additions and Betterments" to the railroad property. The lease became effective on December 27, 1919 and runs through December 27, 1969.

There is attached hereto a sketch map showing the route of the Western and Atlantic Railroad and its relationship to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and other connecting railroads in the States of Geor gia, Alabama and Tennessee. It will be noted that the Western and Atlantic Railroad provides the only entry of the Louisville and Nash ville. Railroad into Atlanta via three of its lines (Louisville and Nash ville Railroad lines terminating at Chattanooga, Cartersville and Marie tta). It can also be readily seen that the Western and Atlantic Railroad is important as a "bridge" line providing a connecting link between the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and other lines through connections with six railroads in Atlanta and three railroads in Chattanooga.
There is no one department or agency of the State charged with full responsibility for the Western and Atlantic Railroad. The Georgia Public Service Commission (formerly Railroad Commission of Geor gia), pursuant to the terms of Section 17 of an Act providing for the leasing of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, approved November 30, 1915 (Ga. Laws 1915, Ex. Sess., p. 119), hereinafter referred to as the "Lease Act of 1915," is charged with supervision and inspection of the operation of the railroad by the lessee and is performing that function and is maintaining such records of the property as it has been able to gather. The Western and Atlantic Railroad Commis sion which was created by the "Lease Act of 1915" to develop and execute the present lease was discharged pursuant to the provisions of an Act approved August 17, 1920 (Ga. Laws 1920, p. 1799) and since that time there have been three other Western and Atlantic Railroad Commissions created for the handling of specific matters relating to the property of the railroad. There still exists at present the Western and Atlantic Railroad Commission created by an Act approved February 17, 1950 (Ga. Laws 1950, p. 408). The Commission is composed of the Gov ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Speaker of the House, Chairman of the Public Service Commission and State Auditor. This Commission is given the power to lease (for a period not longer than 99 years from the ex piration of the present railroad lease) parcels of the Western and Atlantic Railroad property found not to be useful for railroad purposes. An Act approved March 9, 1956 (Ga. Laws 1956, p. 728), provides that all leases of State property which begins more than one year after excution shall be ratified by a two-thirds vote of the Senate. Any leases

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2383

executed relative to the properties, which are the subject matter of this report, which begin more than one year after execution thereof shall be required to be ratified by a two-thirds vote of the Senate. This Commis sion has already so leased approximately 15 acres of air rights in the City of Atlanta and one square block in the City of Chattanooga. The details of these existing leases are shown on Appendix "A", attached to this report and are shown on the maps attached hereto.

Need for a central agency to handle all the affairs of the Western and Atlantic Railroad property is evidenced not only by the fact that the General Assembly has been forced to repeatedly create separate com missions through the years to deal with certain aspects of the property and by the lack of any central maintenance of records of the property but also the fact that there are a number of actions that the State must take at the end of the present lease. There is no official or department now specifically charged with responsibility for taking such actions, examples of which (as detailed in "Western and Atlantic Railroad of the State of Georgia", the official history of the railroad, compiled by J. H. Johnston) are:

1. Receipt from lessee of $185,000 (amount paid by the City of Chattanooga for extension of Broad Street through Western and Atlantic Railroad property and assigned to lessee for its use during life of lease).

2. Negotiations with City of Chattanooga to remove (or pay for the right-of-way for) Tenth Street between Market and Broad Streets (opened by City of Chattanooga under agreement with lessee, agreement expiring December 27, 1969).

3. Negotitations with Southern Railway to remove (or pay for right-of-way for) crossing at Howell Station near Atlanta (used under agreement with present lessee).

4. Negotiations with Seaboard Air Line Railroad to remove (or pay for right-of-way for) tracks between Cartersville and Junta (used under tenant-at-will contract with present lessee).

5. If subsequent lease is to other than Louisville and Nash ville Railroad, negotiations with Louisville and Nashville Railroad to remove (or pay for right-of-way for) tracks at Atlanta, Mar ietta, Cartersville and other points.

In conducting its analysis of the railroad, the Committee immediat ely recognized the need for an engineering and economic valuation study of the property by recognized experts in that field. Accordingly, the Committee engaged the services of Ford, Bacon & Davis, Inc., a con sulting engineering firm of national repute, to proceed with investiga tions and surveys of the Western and Atlantic Railroad to determine its fair and reasonable leasehold value, and to give the Committee inde pendent recommendations on the terms and conditions of a new lease agreement to begin following the expiration of the present lease.

2384

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The scope of the engineering and valuation study was to include the following subject matters:

(1) an inventory of the physical facilities of the railroad;
(2) the present-day cost to provide those facilities new and, following an actual inspection of the property, development of the current net value of those facilities considering observed deprecia tion;
(3) investigation of any encroachments on the railroad pro perty;
(4) determination of the value to the present lessee of its right to use and operate over the property;
(5) the inflationary trends and the future impact of such trends on the leasehold value of the railroad.

From such studies, the consultants were to develop for the Com mittee a fair and reasonable leasehold value of the property.

In addition to this study by an independent outside agency, an agency carefully determined to be not connected with or under the in fluence of any party at interest in either the present lease or prospective future leases, the Committee has conferred at length with the trans portation staff of the Georgia Public Service Commission, and in com pany with representatives of that Commission and officials of the pres ent lessee, conducted a two-day personal survey of the entire railroad between Atlanta and Chattanooga.
The study of the engineers has been duly completed and a report thereon submitted to the Committee. A copy of that report is attached hereto for the full information of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, the General Assembly, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and all other interested parties. It should be noted that this report (as recognized to be the case in all such reports) is based in substantial part -.-n judgment factors, a condition which may cause these consultants' findings to vary in some particulars and some conclusions from findings by other consultants engaged by the lessee to perform the same type of study and to vary from the valuation findings of the Interstate Commerce Commission (which assigns to all railroads in the United States a "value for rate making purposes" determined through the use of nationwide averaee valuation factors. The consultants' full report is necessarily lengthy and highly technical but in order to bring out the highlights thereof in concise form for ready reference, there is included in the front of the report a summary of the essential findings therein. The latest finding of the Interstate Commerce Commission of the valuation of the Western and Atlantic Railroad property is included in the con sultant's report as the final pages in the appendix in the back of that report.
From its review of this report (including detailed explanation there of by the consulting firm), its own survey, its consultations with the State Budget Officer, representatives of the transportation staff of the Georgia Public Service Commission and the Deputy Assistant of the State Legislative Council, the Committee has developed the following findings and recommendations:

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2385

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. The State of Georgia is not normally in the business of operat ing hotels, railroads or other similar commercial enterprises, but inasmuch as the State owns these properties, every effort should be made to insure that the properties are so used as to provide the maxi mum return to the State for the benefit of its citizens. The Committee is thoroughly convinced that the best such use is for the State to retain all of these properties and to lease such properties to commercial opera tors. It is specifically recommended, therefore, that no consideration be given to the sale of any of these properties but that the State con tinue to lease such properties in the manner and on terms found to be the most advantageous to the State.
2. The Georgia Public Service Commission, the consultant engi neers and the Committee are all in solid agreement that in any future lease of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, the property not needed for railroad operational purposes should be separately administered. The property so separated should include underground mineral and air rights where there is reasonable anticipation of commercial develop ment thereof and should also include the State's interest in the present passenger depot site in Chattanooga, which is scheduled for removal to another location in the near future.
3. There are numerous encroachments on the Western and Atlantic Railroad property, most of which were known when the present lease was executed, but which have continued to persist. Several of these encroachments involve valuable real estate, and the State's interest demands that resolution be made of the State's rights in that property. It it specifically recommended that all encroachments be completely investigated by the Commission, hereinafter discussed, by the Attorney General or by some other authorized authority and where necessary and practicable court proceedings be initiated to resolve the extent of title of the State to said real estate.
4. One of the Committee's early findings was that there is no centralized, continuing management of these valuable properties. As indicated above, there have been a number of separate special commis sions which have dealt with various aspects of the property during the present lease, and in addition, the Public Service Commission is charged with supervision of operation of the railroad by the lessee. The Public Service Commission has adequately performed its delegated supervisory functions, and the special commissions have functioned when called upon for specific actions, but the Committee strongly feels that there should be created a single commission charged with the affirmative duty of management and supervision of these State-owned properties and any other State-owned property in the same category with that commission so constituted as to insure continuity of supervision, man agement and record keeping. The creation of such a commission would further the purpose of consolidation of commissions in that the present responsibilities of the Mansion Site Commission, the State Properties Commission and the Western and Atlantic Railroad Commission would be combined with the resultant termination of those special commis sions. Such a commission would require a minimal staff to insure con tinuity of administration but could call on other State agencies for technical functions (such as the Public Service Commission for super vision of operation of the railroad property under the lease as is done

2386

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

at present and the Attorney General for legal assistance in removing encroachments and handling other legal matters). Such a commission should be required to submit to the General Assembly each year a full resume of its activities during the year and a current summary of the status of all State property under its jurisdiction. Such a com mission should also be given the power to lease any or all of the prop erty under its jurisdiction, with any such lease to be subject to the specific concurrence of the General Assembly.
CONCLUSION:
The need for centralized and more efficient management of these State-owned properties in a manner insuring continuing administrative supervision, coupled with the fast approaching expiration of the present lease of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, demands that there be consideration given by the 1964 General Assembly of creation of a commission clothed with adequate powers to consolidate the functions of the existing special commissions now handling the properties and to begin development of the terms and conditions of a new lease of the Western and Atlantic Railroad. In order to effectuate that purpose, the Committee will propose legislation to establish such a body with duties, powers and responsibilities in line with the above-listed recom mendations.
In the discharge of its functions under the creating resolution, the Committee has receivd the active assistance of the Public Service Com mission and the full cooperation of the lessees of the various properties, and the Committee is indebted to those organizations therefor. The Committee especially commends the State Budget Officer, the Transpor tation Staff of the Public Service Commission and the Office of Legis lative Counsel for their valuable assistance to the Committee in the performance of its duties and in assisting in the preparation of this report.

Whereas, the General Assembly believes that such a study would be useful in the public interest and in the administration of the affairs of State;

Now, therefore, be it resolved by the General Assembly of Georgia that there is hereby created a Committee to be known as the "State Leased Properties Study Committee", to be composed of five members, three of whom shall be members of the House to be appointed by the Speaker of the House and two of whom shall be members of the Senate to be appointed by the President of the Senate. The Committee shall make a comprehensive and exhaustive study of each and every parcel of real property leased by the State or any department or agency there of, excluding authorities to any other person other than a state agency, and to develop facts pertinent to the ascertainment of the value of each of said properties under lease to any other person, firm or corporation. The Committee shall also make such recommendations as it deems desirable relating to the procedures for accomplishing a leasing of said properties or renewals of existing leases of said properties. The Com mittee shall include in its report such other information, findings, conclusions and recommendations relative to the subject matter of its study as it deems advisable. All members of the Committee shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the approval of this resolution by the Governor or after it otherwise becomes law. The members shall meet within thirty (30) days after all members have been appointed, and shall organize and elect a chairman, a secretary and such other officers as may be deemed advisable by the Committee. In order more efficiently to perform its duties, the Committee is hereby authorized to employ clerical, technical and other personnel and fix the compen sation therefor. The Committee shall make its report on or before De cember 1, 1963, on which date the Committee shall stand abolished. A copy of the report shall be distributed to the Governor, members of the General Assembly, the press and such other persons as deemed advis able by the Committee. The Committee shall be authorized to meet for a total of 20 days. However, upon request of the Governor and the approval of the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate, such additional time as will allow the Committee to complete the pur poses of this Resolution shall be authorized. The members of the Com mittee shall receive the compensation, per diem, expenses and allowances authorized for legislative members of interim legislative committees. The funds necessary to carry out the purposes herein shall come from the funds appropriated to or available to the legislative branch of the government.

Approved by the Governor April 9, 1963.

The following members were appointed by the Speaker of the House:

Honorable W. Frank Branch, Representative, Tift County

Honorable Tom C. Carr, Representative, Washington County

Honorable Philip M. Chandler, Representative, Baldwin County and the following members were appointed by the President of the Senate:

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

Honorable Milton A. Carlton, Senator, 21st District

Honorable Joseph E. Loggins, Senator, 53rd District

The Committee was duly organized with Honorable W. Frank Branch, Representative, Tift County, being elected Chairman and Honorable Philip M. Chandler, Representative, Baldwin County, being elected Secretary.

The specific properties involved in the authorized study include the "Mansion Site Property" in Atlanta, the "Hotel Property in Chattanoo ga, Tennessee, and the property of the Western and Atlantic Railroad extending from Atlanta, Georgia, to Chattanooga, Tennessee. This report is confined principally to the Committees findings and recommenda tions relative to the "Mansion Site Property" in Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia, the findings and recommendations of the Committee relative to the "Hotel Property" in Chattanooga and the property of the Western and Atlantic Railroad being the subject matter of a separate report.

MANSION SITE PROPERTY
On approval of the Committee with the concurrence of the Governor, the firm of Adams-Gates Company was engaged to make an appraisal of the property located at Peachtree, Cain, and Spring Streets in At lanta, Georgia. A complete copy of the appraisal is attached to this re port, but the most important points brought out are shown below:
(1) In the opinion of the appraisers the current market value of the land, if free and clear of all encumbrances, including the ground lease, is $1,700,000.00.
(2) In the opinion of the appraisers the value of the land, subject to the present ground lease, which expires May 31, 1972, is $1,319,000.00.
(3) In the opinion of the appraisers the present improvements are obsolete and are without value to the State.

The property was originally leased by the State to the Massell Realty & Improvement Company, effective on June 1, 1922, for 50 years. The present rental received by the State under this lease, which ex pires May 31, 1972, is $43,500.00 per annum. The Massell Realty & Improvement Company subsequently negotiated various sub-leases which return to the present owners of the original lease a total of $99,150.00 per annum. The network of ownership of the various corpora tions holding these leases is described in detail on page 2 of the ap praisal. The present owner of the original lease is Mansion Sites Leases, Inc., a corporation which is owned by Henry Grady Hotel Corporation; thus, the hotel is its own landlord.

The appraisers estimate the present value of the original lease at $257,000.00. They recommend that the State attempt to re-acquire the original lease, leaving the sub-leases as they are, in order for the State

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2393

to work toward gaining control of the entire parcel in advance of the expiration date of the sub-leases. The Committee disagrees with this recommendation for the reasons set out in the following paragraphs. While the action recommended by the appraisers is one which would possibly be followed by a prudent investor in real estate, the Committee believes that the necessary negotiations are too involved for the State to conclude them successfully.

If the State takes no action, it will receive a total rental of $348,000.00 during the remaining eight years of the lease, beginning June 1, 1964. As stated, the appraisers discount the sub-lease rental income to arrive at the estimated value of the lease held by the Mansion Site Leases, Inc. of $257,000.00. The total of the sub-rents called for under the sub-leases over the period of the remaining life of these leases is $793,200.00. Thus, if the State could acquire the base-lease for $257,000.00 (no tender has been made to the State at this figure), the net to the State over the eight years would be $536,200.00, an apparent net gain to the State of $188,200.00 over the $348,000.00 it will re ceive under the present leases. This reasoning, however, fails to con sider the probability that the Henry Grady Office Building and the Red Rock Building will prove uneconomical to operate during this period, and that the present holders of the sub-lease on these properties will default causing them to return to the base-lease owners. This action would reduce the annual income on sub-leases by $23,925.00. It is pos sible, therefore, that following the recommendation of the appraisers would result in no gain to the State in rentals.

Thus, acquisition of the base-lease would be of no real value to the State, unless there were a reasonable expectation of acquiring con trol of the entire parcel substantially earlier than May 31, 1972. In the opinion of the Committee, these negotiations would be exceedingly involved and very difficult to conclude satisfactorily. The hotel is cur rently operated by the present sub-lease holders, the Cannon Estate and the Wilson Estate. These estates hold the property by virtue of the default by a New York group of a debt of $2,600,000.00. Since acquiring the hotel by default, the present management has spent during the past year $250,000.00 and plans the further expenditure of $200,000.00 during the coming year. In the main, these expenditures have been directed toward modernization and reduction of costs. This outlay makes it readily apparent that, in spite of the current decline in occu pancy ratios, the owners are making every effort to recoup as much as possible of the $2,600,000.00 potential loss. Examination of the operating statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1963, reveals that the management was able to charge off some $200,000.00 against this amount during that year.

On the basis of the current operations, the appraisers estimate the value of the various sub-leases as follows: Henry Grady Hotel-- $926,000.00; Henry Grady Office Building--$15,000.00; Red Rock Build ing--$15,000.00; Roxy Theatre--$82,000.00; for a total value of the existing sub-leases to their holders of $1,038,000.00. With the value of the underlying lease at $257,000.00, this gives the total value of exist ing leaseholders interest of $1,395,000.00. Thus, if the State could acquire all of the various leases at their current appraised values, the cost would be only slightly less than the appraised value of the proper-

2394

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

ties without leases of $1,700,000.00. The appraisers estimate the current rental value of the property, if it were available for lease today, at $132,000.00 per annum. This figure is somewhat less than the bid of $160,000.00 submitted a few years ago by J. A. Jones Construction Company. Even at the higher rental value of $150,000.00 per annum, the value to the State of the power to re-lease the property for the eight-year period, is only $1,200,000.00. Thus, an advantageous solu tion to the problem could not be brought about at this time even if the State were in position to do so,

Your Committee recommends as follows:

(1) That the State take no action with regard to the Mansion Sites Property at the present time unless a tender of a lease is made which substantially alters the situation.

(2) That between the present date and June, 1965, there be estab lished a group with the general powers accorded the Mansion Sites Commission by the last General Assembly, and that fol lowing June 1, 1965, this group undertake study of the situa tion as it exists at that time with a view to offering for bid during 1966 a lease of 50 or more years on the Mansion prop erty. At that time, it is believed that the Commission can deter mine whether the State can re-acquire the old leases or whether
to leave the negotiations with the present lessees to the new lessees.

(3) That the Commission take bids in time to submit the matter to the General Assembly for approval in the session to begin January 1, 1967. At that time, the present lease will have only five years to run.

Atlanta, Georgia November 8, 1963

The Honorable W. Frank Branch P. 0. Box 237 Tifton, Georgia

Re: Mansion Site Property Peachtree, Cain and Spring Streets Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mr. Branch:
At your rquest, we have inspected the Mansion Site property and reviewed the various leasehold interests involved.
In our opinion, the current market value of the land, 143 x 381, free and clear of all encumbrances, including the ground lease, is ONE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND ($1,700,000) DOLLARS.
Its value, subject to the ground lease, which expires May 31, 1972, is ONE MILLION THREE HUNDRED NINETEEN THOUSAND ($1,319,000) DOLLARS.
All the present improvements are obsolete and nearing the end of their physical and economic lives. At least two, the Red Rock and Henry Grady office buildings, are likely to fail to survive economically through May 31,. 1972, in which case they would be turned back to the holder of the underlying lease, and should be demolished.
It is our recommendation that it is to the best interests of the State of Georgia to acquire the underlying lease held by Mansion Site Leases, Inc. This interest is valued at $257,000. The State would then control the various leasehold interests as they default, with a good chance of gaining control of the entire parcel of land well in advance of May 31, 1972.
If the property is to be re-bid in the next few years, it would be very important that the State control the underlying lease, since it would provide a basis on which the winning bidder could negotiate with the leasehold interests.
If no action is taken, the State will continue to lose the difference

Purpose of the Appraisal

The purpose of this appraisal is: 1) to determine the fair market value of the fee interest in the Mansion Site property; 2) to make a study of potential new uses for the land; 3) to review the feasibility of acquiring at this time the underlying lease and/or entering into a new lease as of June 1, 1972.

Legal Description

All that tract and parcel of land lying and being in Land Lot 78 of the 14th District of Fulton County, Georgia, and being more par ticularly described as follows:

BEGINNING at a point on the west side of Peachtree Street, at the southwest corner of the intersection of Peachtree Street and Cain Street; running thence west along the south side of Cain Street 381.7 feet to a point, said point being at the southeast corner of the intersec tion of Cain Street and Spring Street; thence south and a little west along the eastern side of Spring Street 146 feet to a point; thence east along the northern boundary of the property occupied by Davison's Department Store 408.1 feet to the west side of Peachtree Street; thence north along the west side of Peachtree Street 143 feet to the point of beginning, being improved property divided into four parcels known as The Henry Grady Hotel, The Roxy Theater, Henry Grady Office Build ing and the Red Rock Building.
The dimensions of the above legal description were taken from a copy of the original lease, and differ slightly from the tax plat, which has dimensions of 143.4' x 379.4' x 146' x 413.8'.
Brief History
Prior to 1922, this property, bounded by Peachtree, Cain and Spring Streets, was the site of the Governor's Mansion. On February 1, 1922, the State entered into a 50-year ground lease, effective June 1, 1922, and expiring May 31, 1972, with Massell Realty Improvement Company. The lease required that the lessee build a fireproof building, costing at least $125,000. The first improvement fronts on Spring Street and is

2398

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

known as the Red Rock Building. During construction, it was sold to Lee Hagan for $300,000. The land under the building was sub-leased for a term expiring with the original lease on May 31, 1972, with sub-

"CREATE AN ESTATE" ADAMS-GATES COMPANY
lessee assuming 4/10 of the rental due the State.
The rental called for in the original lease is $35,000 per year, to May 31, 1962, and $43,500 per year thereafter, both payable monthly.
One June 1, 1922, a portion of the Cain Street frontage, 180 x 146, was sub-leased to Capital City Building and Market Company, and im proved with the Henry Grady Office Building and the Roxy Theater. The sub-lessee assumed 5/10 of the rental due the State under the original lease. The theater property was in turn sub-leased to the Keith Theater Company.
The Peachtree frontage, 143', was sub-leased to C. R. Cannon, who improved it with the Henry Grady Hotel.
The leasehold and sub-lease interests have since been sold and, at present, are owned as follows:
1) The underlying lease is now owned by Mansion Site Leases, Inc., a corporation which, in turn, is owned by Henry Grady Hotel Corp.
2) Henry Grady Hotel Corp is owned by 75% by the Cannon Estate and 25% by the Wilson Estate.
3) The Red Rock Building is owned by the Estate of Lee Hagan.
4) The Henry Grady Office Building is owned by the Cannon and Wilson Estates on an equal basis.
5) The Roxy Theater is owned by Atlanta Enterprises, Inc.
The owners of the underlying lease receive the following rentals from sub-lessees:

Location
The land, 143 on Peachtree by 381.7 on Cain Street by 146 (Spring) by 408.1 (south line), contains 56,470 square feet, and is one of the outstanding corners in the Southeast.

Contrary to the recent experience of many large cities, Atlanta's downtown area is improving rather than declining. Recent new major buildings in the downtown area include Fulton National Bank, Bank of Georgia, Commerce Building, Lawyers Title Building, America Fore Building, Fulton Federal Building, Peachtree-Baker Internal Revenue Building, Atlanta Merchandise Mart, Georgia Power Building, and Americana Motor Hotel. Under construction are the 330,000 square foot Travelers Building (in block north of subject), the 270,000 square foot 17-story Hartford Fire Building, and the 500-room Marriott Motor Hotel. First National Bank of Atlanta will begin next spring a $23,000,000 40-story office building on the site of the Peachtree Arcade.

Present Improvements--Mansion Site Property 1) Henry Grady Hotel--210 Peachtree Street, N. E.

This 13-story hotel at the southwest corner of Peachtree and Cain was built in 1924, with an addition in 1928. It contains 550 rooms, but only 465 are used as guest rooms. The building is obsolete (poor plumbing, wiring, etc.) and, until a motor lobby and swimming pool

"CREATE AN ESTATE" ADAMS-GATES COMPANY

were added last year, very little had been spent on rehabilitation. During the five-year period 1957-62 the occupancy ratio dropped

2400

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

from about 80% to 59 %. Net profit during this period dropped over 40%. This trend is not local but national, and is due both to the obsolete physical plant and to competition from downtown or close-in motels, as the Heart of Atlanta, Riviera, Americana, Cabana, and Holiday Inn, with others proposed and likely to be built. Due to the fact that less than nine years remain on the ground lease, struc tural modernization is unlikely. The average rate per occupied room is about $9.65, as opposed to $12.00 in the better motels.
The present operators of the hotel, the Cannon Estate and the Estate of Fred B. Wilson (Emory Crenshaw, Trustee), are involun tary owners, since they had to step in in 1962 to salvage some $2,600,000 owed them and the Cannon Estate. A New York group had acquired the hotel in the late 1950's and defaulted in 1961.
The hotel does not own any parking, although several garages are convenient.

Emory Crenshaw took over the operation of the hotel in late June, 1962. as the representative of both Estates, and for the 12-months period expiring June 30, 1963, spent $250,000 in modernization, in cluding a swimming pool, motor entrance, complete room redecoration (except for 14th floor) and new lobby furnishings. He proposes to spend an additional $200,000 during fiscal 1964 (to June 30, 1964), the largest single expenditure being $50,000 to make the elevators operatorless. These expenditures have not reversed the declining occupancy ratios, which are off 16.7% for the first nine months of 1963.

Henry Grady Office Building--26 Cain Street, N. W.
2) This 8-story-and-basement office building was completed in 1925.
It contains about 50,000 square feet gross area and, like the hotel building, is obsolete, due to outmoded plumbing, wiring and elevators. The occupancy ratio runs 50-60% at an average rate of $3.00 per square foot. The building was air-conditioned about eight years ago. At 50% occupancy, the building grosses about $60,000, but nets little or nothing. The current $3.00 rental rate is good, considering age and condition, and compares with a $4.00-$4.50 rate for modern, firstclass space. Like the hotel, the short-term period remaining, does not make renovation feasible. The cash throw-off to the owners will run only about $3,000 during 1963.

"CREATE AN ESTATE" ADAMS-GATES COMPANY

3) Red Rock Building--187 Spring Street, N. W.
This is a 6-story-and-part-basement office building, completed in 1922. It contains about 70,000 square feet gross area, and is par tially air-conditioned. It is in about the same physical condition as the Henry Grady Office Building, but the occupancy ratio is better (about 90%), due to cheaper rental, which averages less than $2.00 per square foot.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2401

The building grosses about $75,000 per year, but nets almost nothing. Loss of tenants during 1963 may result in a net loss before deprecia tion this year.

4) Roxy Theater
This 1400-seat theater is the only one downtown with facilities for a panorama-type screen. The interior was modernized some eight or nine years ago, and the present condition is good for its age.
Motion picture theaters have suffered much the same decline as hotels, due primarily to competition from drive-in theaters and tele vision and by participation sports, as golf, bowling, water skiing, etc. The Roxy leasehold pays the owner of the underlying lease $6525.00 per year, and the Henry Grady Hotel Corporation an additional $7440.00 per year, as rent on the Peachtree entrance. The theater is owner-occupied, with no lease, but would have a rental value of about $20.00 per seat, or $28,000. It would net, on this basis, after ground rentals, about $14,000.

Present Value of State of Georgia Interest (Leased Fee)

The State's interest amounts to the present value of the net rents to May 31, 1972, plus the reversionary value of land and buildings. The annual net rental to May 31, 1972 (approximately 8% years) is $43,500. This figure discounted at 6% equals $283,000. The reversionary value of the land, also discounted at 6%, is $1,036,000. We do not believe that the present improvements have any reversionary value, and they may actually be liabilities in 1972, since their salvage value may not equal demolition costs. As an example, it cost $25,000 to demolish the Masonic Lodge Building across Cain Street from this property in the early 1950's. A recap of the State's interest appears below:

Total Value State of Georgia Interest -___._--$l,319,000.00

Present Value of Underlying Lease

The value of the underlying lease (Mansion Site Leases, Inc.) is the present worth of the annual profit for 8% years (to May 31, 1972) discounted at some figure to reflect possible loss of sub-rents. We be lieve a discount of 15% is proper, and based on this, the value of the underlying lease is $257,000. The annual profit is $55,650, as of this time.

Conclusions as to Present Improvements

Both office buildings are old and obsolete, and may fail to survive the remaining ground lease period (to May 31, 1972) economically. If

2402

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

so, they would be turned back to the holders of the underlying lease, and should be demolished and the land used for surface parking until the entire plot could be put to new use.

The Roxy Theater is the best downtown theater, and is well located. It will, however, be difficult to keep it leased, in view of the declining theater business. Any overall re-use of the land would probably not involve this use. An alternate interim re-use would be by Davison's (Macy), which operates a department store in 600,000 square feet adjoining.

The hotel property will deteriorate at an accelerated pace, since little can be done to restore it within the 8% years remaining on the ground lease. It will have little more than salvage value by 1972. If the money being spent by the owners does not soon improve the gross room revenues, it is likely they will "rate" the hotel (cut rates sharply in an effort to improve the gross) as a last resort to recoup whatever they can prior to May 31, 1972.

The State, the City and the County would clearly benefit if the land, free of all leases, could be made available for re-use prior to 1972.

"CREATE AN ESTATE" ADAMS-GATES COMPANY

Highest and Best Use

This 56,470 square foot plot could be put to retail, office or hotel use, or some combination of these uses. New improvements in the imme diate area (Atlanta Merchandise Mart, Peachtree Towers Apartments, Travelers office building) would all be compatible with a major motor hotel with extensive convention and parking facilities. Atlanta could then join New York City, Chicago and Miami in attracting convention business where several thousand first-class accommodations are required.

Short of complete demolition of all present improvements, it might be possible to clear the two office building sites and improve them with motor hotel facilities and parking to tie in with the existing hotel. The Roxy Theater property would then be converted to convention and exhibit space. This would entail a substantial new investment and an extension of the ground lease.

The decline in gross room revenues during the period 1959-1962 amounted to 26.6%, an average of 6.6% per year. The decline for the first nine months of 1963 over the same period in 1962 amounts to 16.7%. It is clear that room sales are declining at an accelerated pace, in spite of substantial sums being spent in renovation and modernization.

The actual operating statement of the hotel for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1963, appears below:

During the year ended June 30, 1963, the hotel operation made $202,895, before depreciation, but lost $106,359.00, after depreciation. This compares with a profit, before depreciation, of $279,000.00 in 1961 and $383,000.00 in 1959.
The hotel leasehold is not readily saleable, since less than 8% years remain on the ground lease, and it would not bring in the market as much as one-third the debt foreclosed in 1962 ($2,966,000). Its fair market value we estimate as $926,000, which is the current net before depreciation of $200,000 for 8V2 years discounted at 15%.
.2) Henry Grady Office Building: This building currently grosses about $50,000 per year, but nets only $2,000-$3,000, before depreciation. The leasehold has a token value only, which we estimate at $15,000.
3) Red Rock Building: This building is barely at the break-even point, since it grosses about $75,000 per year and expenses, including ground rent of $17,400, almost equal this figure. We believe the leasehold has a token value only of about $15,000.
3) Roxy Theater: This leasehold is owner-operated by Atlanta Enter prises. They pay ground rent totalling $13,965 to Mansion Site Leases, Inc., and the Henry Grady Hotel Corporation. The leasehold (1400seat theater) has a rental value of about $30,000 and would net $16,000, after ground rent. This figure, discounted at 12% for 8% years, indicates an economic value of $82,000.

Conclusions as to Leasehold Interests

The Henry Grady Office Building and Red Rock Building leaseholds are in a precarious position, and likely will not survive to May 31, 1972. They, therefore, have little or no value.

The Henry Grady Hotel is rapidly reaching the end of its physical and economic life. Reduced revenues and increased operating costs indi cate that it may also become unprofitable to operate prior to 1972.

The Roxy Theater can compete on a favorable basis with other downtown theaters and, although the theater business generally is far less lucrative than in the past, the Roxy should survive through 1972. This portion of the property would not be used as a theater in any future re-use involving the entire property.

"CREATE AN ESTATE" ADAMS-GATES COMPANY

Final Recommendation
It is our recommendation that the State acquire the underlying lease originally held by Mansion Site Leases, Inc., and transferred through a number of assignments to the Estate of Fred B. Wilson and C. R. Cannon. The owner of this lease receives an annual total of $99,150 in sub-rents, pays the State $43,500 yearly and makes a profit of the difference, $55,650.

We believe that one or both of the Red Rock Building and the Henry Grady Office Building will fail to survive economically, and will be turned back to the holder of the underlying lease prior to 1972. At that Point they will have no value and should be demolished.

The value of the underlying lease is the present worth of the annual profit for 8% years (to May 31, 1972), discounted at some figure to reflect possible loss of sub-rents. We believe a discount of 15% is proper and, based on this, the value of the underlying lease is $257,000.

The land, 143 feet on Peachtree by 381.7 feet on Cain Street by 146 feet (Spring) and 408.1 feet (south line), contains 56,470 square feet and is one of the outstanding corners in the Southeast. We consider it important that the State gain control of the underlying lease, since, in the event of default, the two office buildings revert to the holder of the ground lease and could be demolished. Land made available by demolition could be used for surface parking until the entire parcel is available.
Major improvements now complete or underway in the immediate area (Atlanta Merchandise Mart and the Travelers Building), plus new improvements on urban renewal land two blocks east (Marriott Motor Hotels, Landmark Apartments and Holiday Inn Motel), make it im portant for the State and the City that this corner soon be developed to its highest and best use. If a sale is necessary to produce its highest and best use, we believe it should be considered.

2406

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,
The present improvements are obsolete and will be liabilities by May 31, 1972.
A ground lease involving State owned property carries with it an ad valorem tax advantage in that the improvements only are subject to taxes. We estimate that annual taxes on the land would run approxi mately $30,000.00. Based on our valuation of the fee interest, free and clear, the current rental value of the land is as follows:

DRAFT REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON DORMITORY CONSTRUCTION,
MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT UNDER THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
This committee was charged with the duty of investigating all phases of Dormitory Construction, Maintenance and Management within

2408

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,
the various units of the University System. In addition, we were given the task of looking into and reporting on the following specific problems:
1. Discipline and supervision of the dormitories.
2. Distribution of dormitories among the various units.
3. Efficiency of the different types of dormitories as to maintenance, comfort, etc.
4. Housing costs to student.
The committee met in Atlanta for the purpose of reviewing the cur rent status of the dormitory inventory of the University System and discussed in general the dormitory problems facing the officials of the University System. We wish to state that we received the complete cooperation of the Board of Regents and University System officials. We are very grateful to all of them for their help because their assist ance saved us much time and helped us to make a more comprehensive study of our work than we ordinarily would have been able to do.
After studying voluminous data, reports and projections the com mittee decided that it could do a more thorough job by visiting several of the units of the University System and taking a firsthand look at some of the dormitories and discussing the needs and problems of the various institutions on the ground with the local officials. This we proceeded to do, and in so doing we acquired a tremendous amount of material facts, figures and information which we will, in the interest of conserving the reader's time, reduce to a summary of our finding and recommendations.
In order to be fair and impartial to all sections of the State we decided to divide our field inspection trips into two parts. First, we visited five representative units of the University System in the south ern part of the State which included both junior and senior colleges. During this trip we were fortunate in participating in a meeting at Abraham Baldwin with the presidents of every junior college in Geor gia, both public and private. A part of this program was opened for a question and answer session in which these college educations pro vided a very provocative and informative discussion period. Second, we visited four representative units of the University System in north Georgia. This trip also included both junior and senior colleges.
Probably the largest single problem in the entire University Sys tem stems directly from the tremendous increase in college enrollment during the past decade. Taking a look at random from our files we note that a typical smaller four-year institution (West Georgia College) increased from a total enrollment of 480 in 1956-57 to a total of 1,268 during the current (1963-64) year. Naturally, this surge of new stu dents has taxed the physical capacity of the dormitories of many of our institutions. In some units we found four students occupying a room originally built for only two. (Albany State College is a typical example). Many other dormitories had three students in rooms built for two. (Georgia Southern is an example). The demand for rooms at one institution has been so great that private dormitories have been

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2409

built off campus by individual investors in order to alleviate the short age (Georgia Southern College at Statesboro). We visited these dormi tories and found that they are adequate and are well supervised by the college authorities. The rentals are slightly higher but it does enable a large number of students to attend the school that would ordinarily have to be turned away. Without attempting to make any recommenda tions in the matter, we do recommend to the Board of Regents that the idea of privately sponsored dormitories be thoroughly explored to determine to what extent they can be utilized to supplement State-owned dormitories and help overcome the housing shortage. The committee fully realizes, of course, that in considering the question of privately owned and operated dormitories the safety and welfare of the students must be a paramount consideration before the costs, supervision and other factors are weighed.

Of course, the housing shortage is more acute at some institutions than at others. However, almost all of the units currently have need of more student housing, and, based on projected future enrollments, these needs are expected to accelerate rapidly in the next ten years.

To supply the necessary information and to show the tremendous impact the increased enrollment is going to have in the next five years, we are attaching herewith an estimate (marked Addendum "A") which shows the number of dormitories that will be needed and the cost in volved in meeting these needs. It must be noted that there is an 18-24 month lag between planning and completion of dormitories. That is, structures now being planned will not be completed and ready for occu pancy until 1965.

The committee feels that the attached estimate of dormitory needs is a realistic and conservative statement of the requirements of the University System for the next five years. In fact, if we are to meet the problem squarely, we do not see how we can cope with this prob lem on less than this estimate.

Of the approximately $44,000,000 that will be needed to finance this program of dormitory construction, we estimate that approximately one-third will come from student fees and the balance from authority type financing.

This bond type of financing is expensive because we have to pay back approximately $30 million dollars over a 20 year period in order to build 20 million dollars worth of buildings now. But, due to our shortage of capital, we find we have no other way to meet our present needs.

In addition to a shortage of student housing, we find a critical shortage of adequate housing for the faculty at Fort Valley State Col lege and Albany State College. We strongly recommend that the pro gram of building on-campus housing for faculty members be accelerated and expanded at these institutions so as to enable these units to attract and hold well qualified faculty members. Lack of adequate local housing has been a severe handicap to the recruiting of new and well qualified teachers at these colleges.

JOUKNAL OF THE HOUSE,

As for maintenance, our inspection trips showed that the officials of the various units of the university system are doing an excellent job on quite often limited budgets. Some of the dormitories are the original buildings that were built when the various State Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges were set up over the State shortly after the turn of the Century. All of these have been renovated and are, for the most part, in satisfactory condition in spite of their age. We inter viewed a number of students living in these dormitories and they uni versally reported their quarters to be comfortable and that they enjoyed living in them.

Our first hand inspection also resulted in a finding that, by and large, the dormitories are adequately supervised and the discipline is as good as can be expected. We found generally the damage and abuse to the dormitory property to be less than we had anticipated. Malicious damage in some instances has been stopped by raising the student deposit. In general we found the house mothers to be doing a fine job and exerting a good influence over the students under their super vision. At this point we cannot help but comment and compliment North Georgia College on their unique system of self-supervision in their dormitories without full time paid supervision within the dormitories.

As for cost of dormitory occupancy to students, we find that the average student pays about $70 per quarter. Some schools like Georgia Tech add a laundry fee to this charge. This rental compares favorably to the rentals charged in our neighboring states, except that there charges are high for our negro colleges as compared with dormitory rentals charged in the negro colleges in other southern states. We do note that the trend of dormitory rentals has been steadily upward in recent years. This is caused mainly by the high costs of new construc tion and the federal regulations that require all dormitory rentals on the same campus to be uniform regardless of the age of the structure. This means that the rentals on the older units must be raised to high levels in order to keep the rentals down on the new dormitories. The con stantly rising cost of construction has forced the raising of rates until we are in danger of soon pricing ourselves out of the markets. High rates are causing students to seek and rent lower cost housing in the area off campus which is quite often sub-standard and inimical to the welfare and safety of the student. In addition, the college officials lose a portion of their control over the student when he or she lives in off campus housing. Because of the rising rental rates, something has got to be done to reduce them within the students' means. We may have to subsidize them to some extent; we don't know and we don't have time now to seek a solution to this particular problem, but we recom mend that the General Assembly work diligently in the future with a view of demising a different, adequate and satisfactory method of financing dormitory construction.

Present construction costs of dormitory facilities are approximately $4,000 per student which means that the average cost of a room occupied by two students amounts to about $8,000. We recommend that con struction designs and plans be studied to determine if changes can be made to reduce this cost. We are informed that other states have made progress in this respect.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964

2411

For the larger units in the University System, we find that the multi-story high rise construction has much in its favor. Less land is needed and supervision of students is made easier.

In addition to a study of dormitory problems, during the course of the investigation this Committee learned a great deal about the other problems of the University System, such as adequacy of facilities, libra ries, salaries, and dining facilities. This knowledge of these problems gained from this investigation will undoubtedly be of great help to this Committee when studying future legislation affecting the University System.
