Honorable George T. Smith, Speaker House of Representatives State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mr. Speaker:
This will confirm our conversations in which I advised you of my desire to contest the seating of A. C. Duncan, the Republican candidate for Representative to the General Assembly from Fannin County. At that time I also arranged for the employment of Honorable Pierre

12

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

Howard, Attorney at Law of Atlanta, Georgia, to represent my interest in the matter.
It is my contention that Mr. Duncan was illegally certified to the Secretary of State for the reasons set forth in the petition and exhibits to be furnished your office.
I respectfully request that this matter be presented to the Contest Committee of the House, and that I be notified when I may appear before the Committee with my evidence.
With regards, I am

Yours sincerely,

Noel M. Galloway

NMG:m

TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, STATE OP GEORGIA, AND THE ATTENTION OF HONORABLE GEORGE T. SMITH, SPEAKER
Comes now NOEL GALLOWAY, the duly elected Representative of Fannin County, and respectfully shows:
1.
That Mr. A. C. Duncan has been certified, or will be certified, at the meeting of the General Assembly as the Representative from Fannin County.
2.
That Noel Galloway hereby protests and requests that the matter of qualification and election be investigated by this Honorable Body, and that this protest, along with others in the same matter, be referred to a committee of this House for the purpose of reporting back with a recommendation that Noel Galloway be seated as the duly elected Repre sentative of Fannin County.
3.
Petitioner shows that the said Duncan is a Republican and that the members of his party were in control of the election machinery of Fannin County at the time the general election was held, and that practically all rules set forth in the new Election Code were violated, including, but not limited to, the following:
(a) Several hundred people who were fully capable of voting with out assistance, were allowed to have assistance in voting, and did not take an oath, as required by law, at the time such assistance was received.
(b) That this assistance was systematically conducted for the pur pose of having votes cast against your petitioner and other Democratic nominees in the general election.

MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1965

13

(c) That a number of voters received cash payments for their votes and allowed the people purchasing said votes to vote the ballots for them, although they did not need assistance in voting.
(d) That none of the envelopes with absentee ballots returned had the time of the mailing or the returning of said ballot written on the envelope, as required by law.
(e) That at least 19 or 20 Democrats were refused absentee ballots on the Saturday prior to the election, in violation of the law.
(f) That at least 6 or 7 Republicans were given absentee ballots on election day and were allowed to vote absentee ballots on election day while in the County, in violation of the Election Code.
4.
That the total number of votes affected in this election by this activity far exceeds the number of votes that Noel Galloway was de feated by, according to the returns to the Secretary of State's office, and the exact number can be determined by this Honorable Body, and if such situation exists, Noel Galloway should be declared the duly elected Representative.
5.
Petitioner respectfully requests that this Honorable Body give very serious consideration to his contentions, and that a full hearing in the matter be held in order that the wishes of the people of his county may be fulfilled, and that it will become known throughout Georgia that this House will not tolerate the open flaunting of the Election Code,

GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE:
Thank you sincerely for selecting me to a second term as your Speaker. In accepting this signal honor I do so realizing that there goes with it a tremendous responsibility. Only with your help, friend ship and cooperation will I be able to carry out the duties of this im portant office. I want your help, I shall seek your friendship, I need your cooperation.
We have many important matters before us this session, including but not limited to the appropriation Bill and Reapportionment.

16

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

This House in the past few years has met many challenges headon and each time has conducted itself in an admirable manner. To name but a few are Reapportioning of the State Senate, Congressional redistricting, SB 180, establishing revenue measures in order to finance an adequate educational program necessary for this State and many, many others. Therefore, based upon past performance I know this group will meet each and every challenge headon and do your usual outstand ing job.

To the members back with us after an absence, we welcome you and are glad to have your experience with us. To the members with us for the first time we extend to you a most cordial welcome. All of us stand ready to help and advise with you about any matter that you wish to discuss.

We are privileged to have as a new member a most charming and beautiful lady from the County of Sumter, Mrs. Janet Merritt. From my short acquaintance with her, I know she will contribute greatly to the job at hand. I would suggest that we men rise and give a rousing cheer to our legislative "sweetheart".

One of our former members who returned with us almost did not make it for the second time in a row. Two years ago a write-in almost got him and in this time a fire and explosion almost got him.

I wish to commend and thank you for the fine manner in which you carried out these rules last session and request your continued cooperation in this matter. I shall endeavor at all times to preside fairly and impartially, and shall always be at your service.
Thank you.

The Speaker administered the oath of office to the Clerk.

The Clerk delivered the following expression of appreciation of the House for his election as Clerk:
MR. SPEAKER--LADY AND GENTLEMEN OP THE HOUSE:
First, permit me to thank the gentleman from Spalding and the gentleman from Emanuel for their generous and kind words in my behalf. I am most grateful to these warm personal friends for their complimentary remarks.
Secondly, I want to thank all of you, for all of us in the Clerk's office for having re-elected us. I speak in the plural for the reason that I consider our office to be a team, rather than an individual, which it is my happy privilege to head.
I have said on several previous occasions, and I repeat this morn ing, that the Clerk's office belongs to you and all the people of Georgia. It is our desire to operate it in a manner pleasing to you. If we do, it is simply our duty to have done so, and we deserve no commendation for it. If, on the other hand, you have any criticism to offer, please make it known to us and we will correct it, if it is within our power to do so.
And finally, it is our wish that your session will be enjoyable, con structive and reflect much credit upon yourselves and upon our great state.
I thank you.

43

Representative Hall, Atlanta, Georgia Tuesday, January 12, 1965

The House met pursuant to adjournment at 11:00 o'clock this day and was called to order by the Speaker.

The following words and prayer were offered by Rev. W. W. Flournoy, Pastor, Marion County Methodist Circuit, Buena Vista, Georgia:
Mr. Speaker, George T. Smith, My Representative of Marion Coun ty, Eldridge W. Perry, Lady and Gentlemen of the House of Repre sentatives of the State of Georgia, and guests.
It is my humble privilege and pleasure to be your chaplain for today January 12, 1965. I bring you greetings in the name of our Lord from Marion County.
If you will indulge me a moment, I would like to relate a story the author of which I am not sure.
There was a rabbit that played in the woods which thought himself to be very handsome. The rabbit enjoyed looking at his reflection in a pond of water.
Upon an occasion while the rabbit was admiring his good looks, a fairy god mother approached only to scold him for sitting there wast ing time gazing at his likeness and warned him against doing such. A day went by.
There was the rabbit, at the pool again--admiring his good looks. The fairy god mother appeared again to find the rabbit at that busi ness. Repeatedly she scolded him and warned that if he didn't stop look ing at his reflection and thinking how good looking he was, she would turn him into a goon.
Another day went by. The rabbit played in the woods and over the hills, all the time thinking of the warning. But he couldn't stand it. He just had to get back to that clear water to look at how pretty he was. And anyway, he could get away with it! There he was and you know-- the fairy god mother came up on him. Before he could say a word, she turned him into a goon. He sat there, blinking his eyes, the fairy god mother said: "Well, what do you have to say about this." He said, "Well, all I have to say is; Hare today! Goon tomorrow."
The moral of this story is you may be hare today and goon tomorrow.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Hear also these words of scripture.

The heaven are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard;
yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. (Ps. 19:1-4)

"Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near;
let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon." (Is. 55:6-7)

The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein;
for he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the rivers. (Ps. 24:1-2)

"With what shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before God on high?
He has showed you, 0 man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" (Mic. 6:6a, 8)

I lift up my eyes to the hills. Prom whence does my help come?
My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. (Ps. 121:1-2)

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! (Ps. 33:12)

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;
though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult. (Ps. 46:1-3)

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965

45

The LORD is near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth.
He fulfils the desire of all who fear him, he also hears their cry, and saves them. (Ps. 145:18-19)

Be still before the LORD, and wait patiently for him;
Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Ps. 37:7, 4)

0 Lord, our Heavenly Father, Almighty and Everlasting God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day, defend us in the same with Thy mighty power; grant that this day we fall into no sin; neither run into any kind of danger; but that all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always that which is righteous in Thy sight; grant us, in all doubts and uncertainties, the grace to ask what Thou wouldest have us to do, that the spirit of wisdom may save us from all false choices, and that in Thy light we may see light and in Thy straight path may not stumble. Direct us, O Lord, in all our doings, with Thy most gracious favor. 0 God, who art the Hope of all the ends of the earth, remember us in love, and guide us by Thine infinite wis dom. Most heartily we beseech Thee to grant Thy blessing upon Thy servant, the Governor of this State, CARL E. SANDERS, and all other in authority. Imbue them with the spirit of wisdom, goodness, and truth; so rule their hearts, and bless their endeavors, that law and order, wis dom, justice and moderation, and peace, may everywhere prevail, to the honor of Thy Holy Name, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
AMEN.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR GEER, SPEAKER SMITH, DISTIN GUISHED MEMBERS OP THE SENATE AND HOUSE, GRA CIOUS LADIES, HONORED GUESTS, MY FRIENDS AND FELLOW GEORGIANS:
I am honored to appear today before this gathering of Georgia's chosen leadership at the midpoint of our Administration, and at the climax for me of a decade of public service to our State Government.
It was ten years ago that I was privileged to take the oath for the first time as a Member of the General Assembly of Georgia.
Today, my mind goes back over those rewarding years, and my thoughts encompass the trials and tribulations which you and I have faced together, the work we have accomplished, and the warm friend ships we have made.
I shall forever cherish the memories of that decade.
Having served both as a member of the House and the Senate, I appreciate the problems, the pressures, and the aspirations of the Mem bership of this august body.
I am grateful for the help and support which you have given me in the past, and I solicit your continued support for the future. I assure you that you have my wholehearted assistance and understanding as you perform the duties entrusted to you by the people of Georgia.
Never in our lifetime, or in the history of our beloved State, has the path of our progress been so true, the future of our people so bright, or the economy of our State so prosperous.
In short, my friends, the State of our State is truly excellent!

54

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

It is time now to look at the ledger.
I know that you take pride in what our partnership has accom plished.

--Georgians experienced last year the Nation's third largest in crease in per capita income;

--Capital investments for new and expanded industry more than doubled in 1964, and Georgia enjoyed her greatest year of industrial progress;

--Last year 19,300 new jobs were created for our citizens, and unemployment in Georgia is at its lowest level in 10 years;

--In the last two years we have completed more highway construc tion--interstate, primary, and secondary roads--than in any comparable period;

--Georgia's airport development program is Number One in the Nation;

--Tourism is now better than a $350,000,000 industry in Georgia;

--Our State Parks were visited by more than five million people last year, and parks revenue rose 120 per cent;

--Agricultural production and the per capita increase of farm in come is at an all-time high.

Now, let me cite a few of the accomplishments of the agencies of our State Government.
--The Revenue Department has been reorganized, automated, and is collecting more revenue today than ever before. All Georgians, with no exceptions, are paying their fair share of the cost of operating their State Government.
--The Penal System has been revamped, our prison population has declined, and emphasis is now on rehabilitation, rather than punishment. This will be accelerated with the construction of a classification center and new prison facility in Butts County.
--The Game and Pish Department has been reorganized, and is providing Georgians with their finest program of conservation, fish, and wildlife management.
--Georgia's system of public education, both in the common schools and University System, in the past two years has experienced its great est growth and upgrading of quality.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965

55

--Teachers and college faculty members have received the largest salary increases of any like period, and by the end of our Administra tion, we will have added more than 10,000 new teachers and 900 college professors.

--The Department of Education, now one of the top six in the Nation, has been reorganized to provide greater economy and efficiency, and the Master Plan for Education--authorized by you last year--is well underway.

--The old Department of Public Welfare, renamed the Department of Family and Children Services, has been reorganized, and a Division for Children and Youth established. Today we are providing the great est benefits for the largest number of youth and senior citizens of all time.

--A constitutional Highway Board has been approved by the people.

--A new Water Quality Control Board has been established.

--The Department of Public Health has been reconstituted, the Public Health Code completely rewritten.

--The new Department of Industry and Trade has embarked upon a revitalized program.

--In the field of mental health, we are implementing the largest program ever, including operation of a new mental health intensive treatment and training center, and construction of a $13,500,000 hospital for mentally retarded children.

--During the last two years, 3,550 employees have been brought under the State Merit System. In the next two years, 5,800 more will be added.

--Funds were made available for the construction of the Police Academy.

--Acting together, we enacted the first statewide sheriffs' salary bill to eliminate the evils of the fee system.

--We enacted Georgia's first comprehensive elections code.

--We have moved decisively to eradicate speed traps and clip joints which preyed upon tourists going through our State.

These accomplishments have been brought about through sound, economical, and efficient operation of your State Government.
I assure you that, with help, I will continue to improve the opera-

56

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

tion of our government. We will continue to effectuate all possible economies and efficiencies.

Our Administration already is instituting a self-insurance program for the State Government which ultimately will save the taxpayers of Georgia a minimum of a half-million-dollars a year.

While services to the people were increased nearly $7 per person last year, the relative administrative cost of providing these services decreased.

And significantly, we have achieved these magnificent accomplish ments within a balanced budget.

It is with pride that I present to you another balanced budget--a budget from which over $130,000,000 dollars in agency requests have been eliminated--a budget which can be financed and which offers a new blueprint for further greatness for Georgia.
The budget calls for an expenditure of $583,000,000 in Fiscal 1966, and $628,000,000 in Fiscal 1967.
Let us reflect upon the fact that, by the end of the upcoming twoyear budget, we will be investing almost 60 cents of every dollar of the people's money in education. In four years, we will have invested $1,205,694,000 in the education and training of Georgians. This is nearly $400,000,000 more than in any previous four-year period of our history.
It is remarkable to note that, during our Administration, we will have allocated, for the common schools, $69,000,000 more than was spent for that purpose from 1871--when the statewide school system was created--until 1955, when I first took my seat in the General Assembly.
In higher education, we have the largest building program in his tory, and appropriations during our Administration will exceed the prior four years combined by 72 per cent.

Let me now mention some highlights of the new budget.
The section dealing with public schools provides:
--For teacher salary increases of $200 for the first year of the biennium; $300 for the second. These raises will become effective in September of each year, and will fulfill my repeated pledge to Georgia's teachers.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965

57

This Administration financed a $200 teacher raise granted in Fis cal 1963.

In Fiscal 1964, an additional raise of $300 was provided.

In Fiscal 1965, another $200 raise was allocated.

In the new budget, as already mentioned, in Fiscal 1966, $200; in Fiscal 1967, $300--making a grand total of $1,200 in teacher salary increases financed by this Administration.

The public school budget also provides:

--For the first time, A State allotment of $42,500,000 to cover the employment of 4,985 other certified, professional personnel;

--Funds for 2,077 additional classroom teachers;

--Five million, three hundred ninety-one thousand, two hundred dollars for consumable instructional materials, the first such program in Georgia.

--An additional $366,000 for vocational rehabilitation;

--An additional $1,461,000 dollars for area vocational trade schools;

--A total of $1,254,000 for the first increase in school transporta tion allotments in six years.

--One million, eight hundred seventeen thousand dollars for a State wide educational television network, which will be in operation by the close of this Administration.

--An additional $222,000 for a computer system to bring about complete modernization of the reporting and accounting system of the Department of Education.

--One hundred sixty thousand dollars each year for the Governor's Honors Program for Georgia's brightest students.

In summary, budget recommendations for the public schools provide a $19,500,000 increase for Fiscal 1966, and an increase of $38,000,000 for Fiscal 1967, or a total operating increase of $57,000,000.

The budget recommendations for the University System provide for:
--First, an increase of 5 per cent in faculty salaries during the first year of the new budget, and an additional 7% per cent increase in the second year, together with a 5 per cent increase each year for non-

58

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

academic employees. These increases follow the 15% per cent increase in faculty salaries provided the first two years of our Administration.

--Second, 679 new faculty members at a cost of $7,859,000 in order to provide teachers for the 16-thousand additional students coming into our colleges during this Administration.

--Third, $1,717,000 for an additional 415 non-faculty employees.

--Fourth, a substantial operating increase for research programs and graduate training, and, for the first time, funds for full utilization of the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital.

--Fifth, the opening and operation of six new junior colleges located at Dalton, Albany, Gainesville, Marietta, Decatur and Brunswick.

--Sixth, the conversion of Augusta College, Georgia Southwestern College in Americus, and Armstrong College in Savannah, into fouryear degree-granting institutions.

The budget provides funds for two new scholarship programs em bodied in the constitutional amendments passed by the General Assem bly and approved by the people.

We will provide 450 scholarships each year to qualified students desiring to study in the paramedical fields, and guarantee low-interest student loans, to provide every Georgia boy and girl an opportunity to go to college--two other "firsts" for our Administration.

In short, this budget document provides the greatest emphasis on education our State has ever known.

Our Administration is the first to mount a major attack on the problems associated with the children and youth of our State.

We will continue our efforts by constructing six regional detention homes, at a cost of $1,200,000, to eliminate the appalling practice of putting disturbed children in common jails.

We will put a juvenile court worker in each of Georgia's 40 judicial circuits.

An additional $1,200,000 will provide hospital and medical care for dependent children--for the first time and will enable the Children and Youth Division to increase its foster care program.

It is time that we take these "lost" boys and girls by the hand-- children who have been less fortunate, who need help and guidance-- and as public officials, embrace them with all the love and affection which we would show to our own children.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965

We have talked about our programs for you. Now let us turn to our Senior Citizens.

There are nearly 100,000 Georgians over 65 not receiving Old Age Assistance whose incomes are not sufficient to meet major medical expenses.

Therefore, I am recommending implementation of the Medical As sistance to the Aged Section of the Kerr-Mills Program.

This should be done irrespective of what might occur on the Fed eral level. It will provide, for the first time in Georgia, a medical care program for citizens over 65.

(During the four years of the present Administration, welfare as sistance grants, including medical care for the truly needy persons of our State, will have increased from $93,500,000 to $116,000,000.)

In the vital field of public health, I have recommended increases totaling more than $8,600,000.

There is an increase of $1,000,000 in the regular operations budget of the Health Department for operating new institutions and providing grants to counties to expand health services.

The major increases for the Health Department are a result of the vital need to upgrade and maintain the quality of the Milledgeville and Gracewood facilities.

The Milledgeville State Hospital operating budget is being increased by $3,000,000. This will provide 439 new staff members, and will allow improved food services, renovation of sub-standard facilities, more doc tors and medical supplies.

Gracewood is to receive an additional $900,000 dollars for 151 staff additions and more personal care for the patients.

The budget increases for mental health during our Administration will have been the greatest, percentagewise, in State history.

Georgia's modernized Highway Department has made great strides toward meeting today's road needs, and providing a more efficient highway operation.
The new budget, due to increases in highway user revenues, pro vides for an increase of $8,800,000 in the first year, and $11,300,000 in the second year.
State and Federal funds for highway construction for the next two years will total more than $337,000,000, and this is in addition to the

60

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

$400,000,000 road program already under commitment or construction in Georgia.

For the Department of Industry and Trade, the budget provides an increase of $2,200,000.
This will include:
Four hundred ninety-seven thousand dollars each year for the area planning and development program;
One million dollars for the Tourist Division;
A $200,000 annual increase for advertising;
A $423,000 increase for the Research Division;
And $671,000 for the Industry Division.
These recommendations will provide our State with its greatest impetus for industrial development.
The Department of Agriculture will have a budget of $6,200,000 for Fiscal 1966, and $6,500,000 for Fiscal 1967. This will provide for a full meat inspection program, and continue to assure the highest quality of agricultural goods for Georgia families.
An increase of $1,700,000 for the Board of Corrections will mod ernize our correctional facilities, continue to upgrade the quality of personnel, and institute the first program of rehabilitative prison indus tries in Georgia's history.
Increases for the Parole and Probation Boards will allow these agencies to carry out their responsibilities in the penal reform program.
The increased budget of the Forestry Commission of $900,000 for the first year and $964,000 for the second places all the employees of this major department under Merit System standards, and will keep Georgia in the forefront of forest conservation activities.
The $1,129,000 increase in the budget for the Department of Pub lic Safety for Fiscal 1966, and the $1,600,000 increase for Fiscal 1967, will provide our State with 80 more State patrolmen, 37 additional drivers' license examiners, and funds for our new drivers' license pro gram, a Police Academy staff, and construction of four new State Patrol Stations.
The new budget provides funding for a new $6,000,000 ports pro gram, including major additions at Savannah and Brunswick, as well as improvements at all other State Port facilities.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965

61

There is also an operating budget increase of nearly $500,000 for our Parks Department, as well as a one and one-half million dollar bond program for improvement of our State Parks facilities.

The budget for the Game and Fish Department provides an increase of more than $500,000, making a total budget allocation of $3,728,000.

It was my privilege as a member of the General Assembly to help sponsor and pass the first legislation authorizing direct grants to municipalities. As Governor, two years ago I recommended the first legislative appropriation for direct grants to our cities and towns.
The time has arrived to recognize the municipalities of our State as full partners in the operation of our Government.
Therefore, I propose that we increase the appropriation from $1,000,000 to $6,000,000 for municipalities during the first year of the biennium, and from $1,000,000 to $9,300,000 during the second year, giving a two-year total of $15,300,000 in direct grants.

Now, let me say something about the next two years. In many in stances in the past history of our State, the first half of an Administra tion was devoted to the people . . . the second half to politics. This is not going to happen this time. This Administration will become a lameduck Administration at high noon on January 10th, 1967 . . . and not one minute before!

Before concluding, I would like to say a word about reapportionment of the House of Representatives.
As you know, we are under an order of the Court to reapportion at this Session. Therefore, we have no choice in this matter, except the choice of doing it properly, or leaving it to the Courts.
As for me, I want this Legislature--stemming as it does from the grassroots of Georgia, with its hand on the pulse of every citizen and its ear attuned to the heartbeat of our people--to do this job.
I realize that this is a matter affecting the internal composition of the Membership of the Legislative Branch of the State Government. Recognizing the doctrine of separation of powers, and respecting your sovereign prerogatives, I will not presume to suggest any plan of action.
At the same time, I wish to assure you that I will offer any help or cooperation which you may deem proper in effecting a solution to this dilemma.

62

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

I am confident that, during this Session, you can and will arrive at a plan acceptable to the great majority of the General Assembly, and in the best interests of the more than 4-million citizens of our State.

In conclusion, let me remind you of what each of us already knows, but must always remember:
Our tasks require strength and courage, endurance and pride; Our duties demand conviction and self-respect, attention and action; Our goals implore responsibility and reason, purpose and prayer. Let us ever look up, not down; Look forward, not back. It is for history to honor the past; but it is for us to honor the present. Let us stand together now in common and united purpose to accom plish jointly what each would achieve separately. By so doing, a victory for all is a victory for each, each of the 4-million 100-thousand citizens of our State; and these years, then, forever will be remembered as Georgia's Golden Era of Growth and Greatness.

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. William Corley, Pastor 1st Baptist Church, Lawrenceville, Georgia.

Almighty God:

We are indeed grateful unto Thee for this State in which we are privileged to live. Thou hast surely placed us in a paradise. The wood lands, fields, and streams declare thy glory and the natural resources show forth Thy Handiwork.

Save us from ever desecrating this our revered birthright either through our ignorance, sinfulness or through sheer neglect.

Help us to meet the requirements which Thou dost require of us:

To have mercy,

To do justice,

And to walk humbly with Thee.

Help us to meet the responsibilities which the duty of our office demands of us.

May every decision made here in this solemn place be made in the light of what history has declared to be best; what our conscience dic tates and with the knowledge that we must not only give an account to our constituents back home but we must give an account unto Thee Who is here with us.

May Thy Presence be felt, Thy Name glorified, and may Thy bless

ing rest upon us.

Amen

The following prayer was offered by Rev. Lewis H. Brazell, Pastor, Taber nacle Baptist Church, Carrollton, Georgia.
Almighty God, who in thy sovereignty setteth no bounds of the na tions, we thank Thee for the rich heritage with which we are endowed both as a state and as a nation.
Establish us, we pray thee, in Rightness. Let wisdom and knowl edge be our portion as we deal with the affairs of the people about us, stabilize us in the faith of Christ, and let our implicit trust in Thee be our strong confidence. May these dedicated, delegated servants of our state find nothing to fear but that which is hateful in Thine eyes. Make them strong to bear the vision of Thy truth and have done with all falsehood, pretense and hypocrisy.
Enable them to act upon the love which has borne with us all throughout our lives. Help each one to acknowledge his dependence upon Thee, and may we all here this morning have the grace of gratitude and the desire and purpose to dedicate ourselves to Thee and the welfare of our constituency.
As these labor together, as they seek to fashion a program of equity and faith, grant them the vision to see the harvest while they plant the seed ... to dream the temple while they build the walls ... to discover the Kingdom in the clouds while they help to lay its foundations upon the earth. Amen.

The following report of the Committee on Rules was read:
REPORT OF HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE ON THE CONTEST RELATIVE TO THE MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM FANNIN COUNTY
MR. SPEAKER:
Your Committee on Rules conducted a hearing on January 13, 1965, beginning at 2:00 O'clock P. M., in Room 341, State Capitol, in the matter of a contest filed in behalf of Mr. Noel M. Galloway, Democratic candidate for Representative from Fannin County in the November, 1964, General Election, against Mr. A. C. Duncan, Republican candidate for Representative from Fannin County in the November, 1964, General Election. Mr. Galloway was represented at the hearing by Mr. Pierre Howard, Attorney at Law, Atlanta, Georgia; and Mr. Duncan was rep resented by Mr. Newell Edenfield, Attorney at Law, Atlanta, Georgia, Mr. Martin McFarland, Attorney at Law, Atlanta, Georgia, and Mr. Cecil Hartness, Attorney at Law, Blue Ridge, Georgia. The Committee wishes to express its appreciation to Counsel for both parties for their cooperation and commends them for their able presentation under most trying circumstances.
Prior to the presentation of witnesses, it was agreed by Counsel for both parties that the returns for said election, as certified by the Ordinary of Fannin County to the Secretary of State, showed that Mr. Duncan received 3,256 votes and Mr. Galloway received 2,820 votes, a difference of 436 votes. After opening statements by Counsel, witnesses for both parties gave testimony under oath, and evidence was intro duced. Mr. Galloway and Mr. Duncan were both present and each of them testified.
This Committee wishes to call attention to the fact that during the course of this hearing, sworn testimony and evidence was presented relative to glaring irregularities and violations of the new Election Code in the conduct of the General Election of November 3, 1964, in Fannin County. There was testimony concerning the buying of votes, non-compli ance with the absentee ballot provisions of the Election Code, violation of the provisions of the Election Code relative to providing assistance to voters at the polls, and other irregularities. In view of this testimony and evidence, the Committee recommends that a copy of this report be

96

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

transmitted to the Solicitor General of the Blue Eidge Judicial Circuit, the Attorney General of Georgia, and the State Election Board, for their consideration and whatever action they deem appropriate.
The Committee wishes it clearly understood that no testimony or evidence of any kind was presented to indicate that Mr. Duncan was guilty of or took part in any of the irregularities complained of by Mr. Galloway. In fact, Counsel for Mr. Galloway stated there was no such evidence, and this is also the finding and conclusion of this Committee.
After consideration of the testimony, evidence, arguments and applicable statutory and constitutional provisions, it is the finding of the Committee that even in view of the irregularities, sufficient showing was not made to enable the Committee to reach the definite conclusion that the result of this election would have been changed. Therefore, it is recommended that Honorable A. C. Duncan be declared the duly elected Representative from Fannin County and that he be seated as the mem ber of the House of Representatives from said County.

Respectfully submitted,

Bolton of Spalding Carr of Washington Vaughn of Rockdale Fulford of Terrell Shea of Chatham Blair of Sumter Howell of Early Jones of Lumpkin Brooks of Fulton Smith of Emanuel Pope of Cherokee Wiggins of Carroll Smith of Whitfield

The House met pursuant to adjournment at 10:00 o'clock a.m. this day and was called to order by the Speaker.

The following prayer was offered by Rev. George Green, Asst. Pastor, 1st Methodist Church, Decatur, Georgia:
Almighty and Eternal God, from whom we come, by whom we are sustained, and to whom we hope to return, hear our prayer as we begin this day. We know not what this day may bring forth, we know not what problems we must face, but we do know that with thy help we can live in such a way that will bring honor and glory to this assembly, this state, and to ourselves.
We pray, Our Father, that Thou would bless our state and each person who is a member of this august body. May we be always ready to be still and listen to the still small voice that directs life, and may we deliberate the matters of state with a cool head and a warm heart, and may Thou will be done. Bless we pray the Governor and those who advise him that their leadership might be guided by Thy hand.
Now Father, we ask that you would forgive us for the times we have fallen short of being the kind of person we ought to have been. We ask not only for forgiveness, but we ask for strength as well that we might stand firm with that which we know is right, and that we might not falter where we have fallen before, but that we might be worthy of being thy children.
Now we lay these our petitions at Thy feet, and we ask that You would grant them according to Thy will, for we know that joy can be ours only when we live according to Thy will, for we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. . . . Amen

A RESOLUTION
Requesting Congress to continue in full force and effect certain provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, the movement for enactment of right to work laws began in 1944, and today some 20 states, with a total population in ex cess of 58 million, now have these laws in force; and
WHEREAS, at the national level, Section 14 (b) of the Taft-Hartley Bill, enacted in 1947, affirmed the authority of the states to pass such laws by providing that nothing in the Act should be construed as author izing the execution or application of agreements requiring membership in a labor organization as a condition of employment where such execu tion or application was prohibited by state or territorial law; and
WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court subsequently upheld the constitutionality of Section 14 (b) and all state laws enacted under its authority; and
WHEREAS, labor union leaders are organizing to bring about the repeal of Section 14 (b) by the 89th Congress, and, in the same vein, the National Labor Relations Board recently ruled to deny an employer the right to express his views to employees except through union repre sentatives at the bargaining table; and
WHEREAS, the right to work law in Georgia and other states has served as the single greatest stimulant to economic growth since World War II, resulting in prosperity unprecedented in history; and

Prayer
O Lord our God how excellent is thy name. Thou our strength and refuge, father of all man-kind and ruler of every nation. God of truth and mercy who rules according to thy will and pleasure. Help us Lord to put our trust in Jesus our savior. Lord give us a thankful heart for a God like thee, one who loves and cares for us. Forgive us Lord for our many sins. Accept us as sheep of thy pasture and children of thy kingdom. Thank thee Lord for the many blessings you have bestowed upon us. Thank thee for men and women of wisdom and knowledge who have been chosen, elected, and deemed worthy for our country and state to be committed to their trust. Lord we pray thy blessings upon them, that may be guided by the divine revelation of our Lord Jesus Chist. Grant heavenly father, their labors will not be in vain, that we will have a better country to live in, and the spirit of thy love. May the nation hear the word of our savior before going to the cross, (Peace I leave with you, peace I give to you.) May there be peace in our hearts, our nation and the world over. Lord we pray that our state and nation will have a higher standard of morality, and heavenly father we pray for the affiliation of thy people. Reach out thy healing hand and restore us. We pray thy blessings for thy mother soil so it will bring forth its full strength, that the labors of thy hand will not have been in vain. Help us Lord to be subject to the powers to be. May we accept them and live in peace without violence and bloodshed, live as Christians bearing the mark of the Lord Jesus Christ in our bodies. Lord help us as a nation to form a more perfect union, to es tablish justice, insure domestic tranquility, promote general welfare, provide for the common defense. Now gracious Father, bless these men and women as they have been faithful over a few things so will they be made ruler over many. May they be able to say, I have fought a good fight and kept thy faith.
I know there is a crown of righteousness reserved and kept by the power of God to be revealed in the last days. Lord bless each ruler of our country that they rule well, keeping thy commandments. These blessings we ask in the name of Jesus our Savior. Amen.

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

Representative Hall, Atlanta, Georgia Tuesday, February 16, 1965

The House met pursuant to adjournment at 9:30 o'clock, a.m., this day and was called to order by the Speaker.

The following prayer was offered by Rev. Norton R. Campbell, Jr., Pastor, Dahlonega Methodist Church, Dahlonega, Georgia.
Meditation delivered before the Georgia House of Representatives-- February 16, 1965 by the Rev. Norton R. Campbell, Jr.
MINISTERS OF GOD
(Scripture: Romans 12: 1-11, 13: 6)
Do you ever wonder what your constituents call you? I suppose that some of their thoughts for you would be praise-worthy, perhaps even flattering. I guess some of the names used to describe you would be unrepeatable in public.
This morning I would like to remind you what the New Testament calls you: "Ministers of God". Every believer is called to be a minister of God, to serve God in his vocation. St. Paul calls us to minister to God with the gifts given us in prophecy, teaching, exhortation and by implication in politics. In this ministry he urges us "never to flag in zeal, to serve the Lord".
It is remarkable how little the New Testament is concerned with the churchy part of our lives. The overwhelming emphasis is on what we do outside the doors of the church. Our real test is this: What we do with our hands, our feet, our mouths in our homes, in our relation ships to o:ir fellowmen, and in our work. It is in these places and ways that our ministry to God is performed.
I am not here to tell you what to do as politicians nor how to do it. This would be presumptuous of me. I am here to remind you of one startling fact--"you are ministers of God". As such you are finally answerable neither to your own conscience nor to the people, but to the living God. Brethren, let us tend to the ministry which God has given each one of us.
Let us pray. Holy Father, look down with mercy on these thy ministers. Grant unto them thy Grace given in Christ Jesus and thy strength and power which cometh through thy Spirit that they--each and every one--may perfectly serve thee and thy children of this great State of Georgia. In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.

By unanimous consent the call of the roll was dispensed with.

A RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, George Mclntosh Sparks took the helm of Georgia State College in 1928 and nurtured it through early difficulties, through the Great Depression, and through the Second World War and set it firmly on its way to achievement and quality. He, as a man of character, saw the need for a great general college in Atlanta and set the College to serve the public good and established it physically as an integral part of the City of Atlanta and the State of Georgia. He, foreseeing the future, set the pattern in Georgia for the establishment of urban col leges by tenaciously nurturing Georgia State College as the first and principal example which our people have latterly taken up and followed. He gave his resources and his heart to Georgia State College.
WHEREAS, Noah Langdale, Jr., succeeded Dr. Sparks in the presi dency of the College in 1957 and has served as a worthy successor to his worthy predecessor. He has expanded the College in it physical demain and in its academic dominion. He has brought to the State a new concept of the role of an academic administrator and a new vision of education which has been beneficial to the entire University System. He has been an outstanding champion of adjusting the entire University System to meet the challenge of the space age and the challenge of survival. He has established the College in the heart of Atlanta as a large physical entity properly ordered and arranged for the convenience of all. He has enlarged the courses of study and the degree offerings

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1965

559

so widely and variously that both the best faculty and the best students in Georgia are eager to associate themselves with the College. He has given his vast energy of body and mind to the increase of the College internally and externally. His effort has resulted in making the College an institution of service and of quality.

WHEREAS, Georgia State College has in the 1963-1964 season completed fifty years of service to the City of Atlanta and the State of Georgia and now looks forward to continuing this service and ex panding its horizons to serve the South and the Nation. The College is a natural and integral part of the City and the State and, situated within the area of urban renewal of Atlanta, it can expand its func tions at every point of need to serve the people of Georgia. The stu dents, the faculty, and the alumni of the College are devoted to the College and are always ready to serve the City and the State better for having been associated with the College.

THEREFORE, The Members of the General Assembly declare and set in the record our appreciation and gratitude for the service of Georgia State College to the people of the State and in particular do we express our collective gratitude to all the administrators, the faculty, students, and alumni of the College, and to the Board of Regents and the Office of the Chancellor for all of these lasting accomplishments.

THEREFORE, It is further resolved, that Clerk of the House is hereby authorized to transmit an appropriate copy of this Resolution, with the Seal of the General Assembly thereto to the Chairman of the Board of Regents, the Officials of Georgia State College, the Acting Chancellor of the University System of Georgia and the Department of Archives.

Mr. Jones of Muscogee and Mr. Murphy of Haralson move to amend HB 167 by striking Section 17, and by substituting in lieu thereof as follows:

Section 17. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this section; in civil cases, no party may complain of the giving or the failure to give an instruction to the jury unless he objects thereto before the jury returns its verdict, stating distinctly the matter to which he objects and the grounds of his objection. Opportunity shall be given to make the objection out of the hearing of the jury, and objections need not be made with the particularity of assignments of error (abolished by this Act) and need only be as reasonably definite as the circumstances will permit.

(b) In all civil cases, at the close of the evidence or at such earlier time during the trial as the court reasonably directs, any party may present to the court written requests that it instruct the jury on the law as set forth therein. Copies of requests shall be given to opposing counsel for their consideration prior to the charge of the court. The court shall inform counsel of its proposed action upon the requests prior to their arguments to the jury, but shall instruct the jury after the arguments are completed. If the court declines to give in charge any written request presented hereunder, the court shall cause it to be filed with the clerk as a part of the record.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the appellate courts shall consider and review erroneous charges where there has been a substantial error in the charge which was harm ful as a matter of law, regardless of whether objection was made hereunder or not.

Hull of Richmond, Jones of Muscogee, Jones of Liberty, Bynum of Rabun, Caldwell of Upson, Lambert of Morgan, Conger of Decatur and Walker of Lowndes move to amend HB 167 as follows:
By striking the word "designation" in the 21st line of Section 12 and substituting in lieu thereof the word "pagination".
By striking Section 16(b), which declares, "The filing with the Clerk of a judgment, signed by the judge, constitutes the entry of such judgment."
By adding a new Section to be known as Section 18B, as follows:
"Section 18B. The filing with the Clerk of a judgment, signed by the judge, constitutes the entry of such judgment, within the meaning of this Act."
By adding a new subparagraph to Section 21 as follows:
"(t) Code Section 81-1101, relating to requests to charge."

584

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

By adding at the end of Section 10(i) the following:

"Before being transmitted to the Appellate Court, the stipula tion shall be approved by the trial judge or the presiding judge of the court where the case is pending."

By adding after Section 11 a new Section to be known as Section 11A, to read as follows:

"HA. Upon filing of a notice of appeal or cross appeal, it shall be the duty of the Clerk of Court to notify the trial judge or presiding judge of that fact unless the certificate of service at tached to the notice discloses that copy of the notice was previously sent or otherwise delivered to such judge. The judge may, at any time prior to transmission of the record to the appellate court, by order set the matter down for hearing after notice to all parties. At such hearing, the court may require that corrections or additions to the record be made, and inquire in to the errors to be urged upon appeal, and if found to be meritorious, may grant a new trial or take such other action as may be necessary or appropriate to correct the errors and avoid the time and expense of an appeal; provided, however, on appeal the appellant or cross appellant, as the case may be, shall not be limited to the errors presented to or considered by the lower court as hereunder provided. For purposes of this section, the law of the case rule shall not apply. In any case where the provisions of this section are invoked, the notice of appeal or cross appeal shall be held in abeyance pending final determina tion of the matter by the lower court, and either party may file notice of appeal within thirty (30) days after entry of final judg ment by the Court under this section."

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION 1
An Act known as the "Georgia Retailers' and Consumers' Sales and Use Tax Act", approved February 20, 1951 (Ga. Laws 1951, p. 360), as amended, is hereby amended by adding to Section 3 (c) 2 the follow ing subparagraphs to be designated subparagraphs (p) and (q) to read as follows:
"(p) Property manufactured or assembled in this State for export where delivery is taken outside this State. Aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles and other transportation equipment manufactured or assembled in this State if sold by the manufacturer or assembler for use exclusively outside this State and if possession is taken from the manufacturer or assembler by the purchaser within this State for the sole purpose of removing the same from this State under its own power when it does not lend itself more reasonably to removal by other means.

:

to the extent prohibited by the Constitutions of the United States and

of Georgia and to the extent of specific exemptions provided elsewhere

in this Act."

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

A BILL

To be entitled an Act To amend Code Section 42-205, relating to the imposition of an inspection fee, tax stamp denominations and exemptions for inspection fees for certain classes of commercial feeding stuffs, as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 3, 1953 (Ga. Laws 1953, Jan.-Peb. Sess., p. 418), and an Act approved March 27, 1956 (Ga. Laws 1956, p. 293), so as to change the amount of the fee due under the inspection fee; to remove all references to tax stamps; to remove certain provisos relating to exemptions from inspection fees; to insert additional exemptions to certain classes of commercial feeding stuffs; to provide a method of waiver in regard to the inspection and inspection fees; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION 1
Code Section 42-205, relating to the imposition of an inspection fee, tax stamp denominations and exemptions for inspection fees for certain classes of commercial feeding stuffs, as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 3, 1953 (Ga. Laws 1953, Jan.-Feb. Sess., p. 418), and an Act approved March 27, 1956 (Ga. L.aws 1956, p. 293), is hereby amended by striking said Section in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 42-205 to read as follows:
"42-205. Each manufacturer, manipulator, importer, jobber, agent or seller of any concentrated feeding stuff shall pay to the Commissioner of Agriculture an inspection fee of 20 cents per ton of such concentrated feeding stuffs sold or offered or exposed for sale. The inspection fee on cottonseed meal shall be 10 cents per ton. The inspection fee shall not apply to cottonseed hulls, hays and straws, whole seeds and grains and seeds not mixed with other sub stances, but sold separately as distinct articles of commerce. Should any such material otherwise exempt be mixed or adulterated with any substance for the purpose of sale, the package in which it is contained, or in which it is offered for sale, shall have plainly marked or indicated thereon the true composition of the mixture or the character of the adulteration. Whenever the manufacturer, importer, or jobber of a concentrated feeding stuff shall have filed the statement named in Section 42-202, and paid the inspection fee, no agent or seller for said manufacturer, importer, or jobber shall be required to file such statement or pay such fee. If a fee has previously been imposed on a concentrated commercial feeding stuff used as a supplement or base, then the amount paid shall be de ducted from the gross amount of the fee due on the total feeding stuff produced; provided, however, that the provisions of this chap ter shall not apply to any feeding stuffs that have been manufac tured or produced by any person, partnership, firm or corporation for the purpose of feeding his, their, or its own domestic animals, livestock or poultry. Provided, further, that there shall be no in spection whenever a purchaser of commercial feeding stuffs desires

to waive the inspection of feed in regard to a particular manufac turer, seller or producer of commercial feed and the manufacturer, seller, or producer agrees to have the inspection waived. This waiver shall be in writing signed by both parties and filed with the Department of Agriculture. Any time after the waiver is on file, either party to said waiver may direct that the Department of Agriculture shall withdraw this waiver. The directive for with drawal of the waiver shall also be in writing. Until such a directive is filed with the Department of Agriculture the waiver shall be in full force, no inspection shall occur, and no inspection fee imposed."

SECTION 2

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

Under the provisions of House Rule 76, the following communication was received form Honorable Jack Etheridge of Fulton County:
A REMONSTRANCE OF REP. ETHERIDGE OF FULTON COUNTY
February 18, 1965
On yesterday, the House engaged in debate on reapportionment. It was as basic and as important as was the debate concerning the countyunit system only a few years ago.
Surely it must be obvious now that if the members of the General Assembly again engage in frenzied and unrealistic efforts to protect and perpetuate the inequities of a by-gone era our Federal courts will of necessity, again be required to take a part in the matter. However some might desire preferential treatment, or desire our courts to close their eyes to discrimination in any form, this cannot be tolerated in a nation which has found its glory and greatness in the equal protection of the laws.
Hence, in our debate as to how to best reapportion this State, par ticularly where such deliberation must perforce be held in a body of 205 members, only the highest, most responsible leadership should be tolerated.
A few arguments in favor of HB 281 were therefore, for me, greatly disheartening. I believe they were a severe blow to reasoned and re sponsible consideration of the subject. I cannot sit idly by without at least an expression of protest at the method some choose to employ. They were not only offensive and abusive to what is in the best interest of this State, but it bodes ill for the future prospect for thoughtful, constructive consideration of reapportionment.

742

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Let it be marked well that one speaker, a man to whom the people of this State have bestowed honor and acclaim, chose to pit rural against urban interests, he chose to incite the members of the House against the urban areas of this State. He chose, by innuendo and by the well prac ticed art of oratorical fervor, to take the low road.

Let it be noted well that his text was not how we could reapportion this House for the maximum benefit of all the people of this State, but how the mal-apportioned status quo could best be maintained. His theme was based upon the charge, made implicitly and with particulari ty, that something evil would come if the urban areas of this State have a voice in its affairs.

The tired refrains of Georgia's past political leaders have con sistently forced the courts to come to the aid of Georgia citizens. Such leadership as was afforded by some of yesterday's speeches has con sistently deprived this General Assembly of the ability to constructively meet its own problems.

Mr. Speaker. It is with deep regret that I feel it my duty to object to the tactics of some who are state political leaders. We have been torn asunder too long in this House by such studied and ruthless efforts to divide us. I do not believe they spoke the true sentiments of most of our colleagues in this House.

I do not see Georgia as composed of Two-Armed Camps and I de plore with all my heart the efforts either knowing, or in ignorance, made by those from either the rural or urban areas of this State, which would lead to any such division of our people.

If ever the leaders of Georgia government, and the members of the General Assembly, must be large-minded, and unselfish, it is now. This is a distressing and difficult time for many. It will be hard to look calmly and candidly at our need to change. I hope our legislative leaders will not succumb to the easy, but hopeless ways of the past as we under take now to meet this exceedingly difficult problem.

Mr. Lee of Clinch arose on a point of personal privilege and addressed the House.

Mr. Bolton of Spalding moved that this House do now adjourn until 9:30 o'clock a.m. tomorrow and the motion prevailed.

The Speaker announced the House adjourned until 9:30 o'clock a.m. tomorrow.

SR 50. By Senator Kidd of the 25th:
A RESOLUTION
Concerning the need for the continuation of the Veterans Adminis tration Domiciliary located in Thomasville, Georgia; and for other pur poses.
WHEREAS, it is evident that the true facts concerning the opera tion of the Veterans Administration Domiciliary, located in Thomas ville, Georgia, have not been brought to the attention of the President of the United States; and

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1965

771

WHEREAS, members of the Georgia General Assembly have spent many arduous hours of study and fact finding in order to ascertain the true picture in regard to the above mentioned Domiciliary; and
WHEREAS, the President of the United States enjoys the reputa tion of being a great humanitarian and serves as the leader of this nation, the richest and most powerful of any ever established; and

WHEREAS, the reasons given for the proposed closing of this in stallation were low patient demand, difficulty in staffing and outmoded structure; and
WHEREAS, this installation has been operating under full capacity for many years, showing a percentage of accomplishment equal to 102.9 percent; and
WHEREAS, there are 15,000,000 World War II veterans with an average age of 55, the majority of whom have no service-connected disability, but in the next five years, as they grow older and become subject to the diseases and infirmities of old age, numbers of them shall require domiciliary care and therefore, the demand for the services of the Thomasville Domiciliary will increase; and

WHEREAS, those buildings not now being utilized should be renovated with a view to the future needs of these veterans who answered their country's call when they were needed and, as a result of which, many years of their lives were spent in the service of their country resulting in lost earning power and an extreme change in their general wellbeing; and

WHEREAS, it has never been difficult to staff this hospital, there being less turnover in the staff than possibly in any other under the Veterans Administration, and there has always been a waiting list of competent doctors, nurses and other personnel ready to go to work in this installation at any time; and

WHEREAS, the facilities of said Domiciliary have recently been inspected by two different terms from the Veterans Administration and in each case found to be in good, serviceable condition; and

WHEREAS, recent expenditures have resulted in replacing the entire heating system and many new additions have been planned so that in the next three years this installation would be in such condi tion that only a minimum amount of replacements would keep it in excellent operating condition for the next 25 years; and

WHEREAS, on a comparison basis, the cost of operation of this facility is only $5.70 per day per patient, as compared to $6.41 in the like installation in White City, Oregon, $7.44 in Clinton, Iowa; and an average of more than $18.00 per day in most hospitals; and

WHEREAS, at the present time the United States has an invest ment in this hospital and 264 acres of land of approximately $4 million dollars and

72

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

WHEREAS, the climate and the terrain are ideal for the installation to take care of the aged; and

WHEREAS, the recent installation of an emphysema ward, which started as an experiment, has enlarged to the extent where it now takes care of 22 patients and this service is not offered in any other domiciliary and it is doubtful that in the event this installation were to be closed that these men could go elsewhere and receive the same high-quality care since they are not classified as hospital patients; and
WHEREAS, through excellent management and leadership a re habilitation program has been carried on throughout the years whereby these patients have received instruction as hospital aids in plumbing work, electrical work, boiler repair and many other fields, the result of which is that many of these patients have been placed in worthwhile jobs throughout Georgia and the United States; and
WHEREAS, 25 percent of these 772 patients are classified as indi gent and 144 of these patients who now work with the maintenance of the hospital would also fall into this category, if the hospital closes; and
WHEREAS, the average income of all of these patients is less than $75.00 a month and would result in their being classified as be coming eligible to participate in the poverty program; and

WHEREAS, it is well known that there is an acute shortage of vacant hospital beds throughout the country and to thrust this addi tional load upon other hospitals would result in those hospitals having to operate well over capacity, and cause them to expend much additional money for care and for the cost of re-equipping them to meet this new burden; and
WHEREAS, most physicians have observed that were these pa tients moved to a colder climate or to a hospital where they might be required to go outside for meals, medical care and other necessities, a decrease in their life expectancy would result; and
WHEREAS, despite statements by certain federal officials that it is desirable to place all hospitals in cities having a population of more than 25,000, this is not true of domiciliary-type installations; and
WHEREAS, in smaller communities such as Thomasville, the domi ciliary patient becomes a member of the community, belongs to clubs and organizations, makes friends, has a purpose in life and a desire to live, all of which gives him spiritual, physical and mental encourage ment; and
WHEREAS, it has been proposed to open up nursing care beds in order to take care of this type patient but to do so would cost a great deal more than the present cost of this domiciliary care; and
WHEREAS, the typical domiciliary patient is 68 years old, is dis abled principally, has no family, has a low income and has lived in this facility from four to fifteen years.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1965

773

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that this body urges the continuation of the Veterans Administration Domiciliary, located in Thomasville, Geor gia, and states that this installation is performing an excellent job for the United States and the State of Georgia at a cost far less than would be necessary elsewhere. This body further declares that the re sults of the operation of this Domiciliary are such that it would not be economical to close this facility and attempt to begin another one which would not only be questionable as to its success but which would result in increased costs to the taxpayers of the United States and of this State.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in order that the President of the United States be informed of the facts and information pro vided in this Resolution, the Secretary of the Senate is hereby directed to submit an appropriate copy of this Resolution to Honorable Lyndon Baines Johnson, President of the United States. The Secretary is also instructed to submit a copy to Honorable Ralph Yarborough, Chairman of the Subcommittee of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, to Hon orable Olin E. Teague, Chairman of the Veterans Administration Com mittee of the House of Representatives and to each member of the Georgia Congressional Delegation.

WHEREAS, Dr. Kilpatrick served as the President of Mercer University before moving to Columbia University as a professor of philosophy of education until his retirement in 1938; and

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

At any time after receiving an official absentee ballot, but be fore the day of the primary or election, the elector, for the purpose of voting, may appear before: (i) a postmaster of the United States or his designee while within the confines of a post office; (ii) any commissioned officer of the active armed service of the United States if the elector is a member of such service or if the elector is the spouse or dependent of a member of such service; (iii) any consul of the United States or his assistant; (iv) a registrar or deputy registrar of the county of the elector's residence; or (v) any officer authorized to administer oaths under the laws of any state of the United States (other than the State of Georgia) or of any possession of the United States while within the jurisdictional limits of such state or possession.

On the motion to reconsider, the ayes were 60, nays 79.

The motion was lost.
Mr. Blalock of Coweta stated that he inadvertently voted "Nay" and would like to be recorded as voting "Aye".

By unanimous consent, and under the provision of House Rule 52, the fol lowing communication from Mr. Houston of Pierce was received:
Mr. Speaker, Fellow Members of the House, I take this occasion to express myself with regard to the much discussed reapportionment of this House of Representatives and to give my reasons for being con strained to the considered belief that we are not under any real duress to do this unwarranted thing just because a bare majority of the mem bers of the United States Supreme Court has found it politically ex pedient to order it done.
In answer to those who ascribe futility to the effort I make this day, I would quote the great Emerson who said appropo the situation in which we find ourselves; "T'is man's perdition to be safe when for the truth he ought to die."
One of the greatest examples of political cowardice and ineptitude in the whole history of human government is found in an accounting of how supposedly stalwart defenders of human freedom are cravenly cavilling and kowtowing to the unwarranted usurpation of legislative prerogative by the Supreme Court. Let those, who can live with their

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1965

943

cowardice--who can be happy in taking the craven way found in the pathway of least resistance--let them, this day make the choice with which they can live in peace with their own conscience, but, as for me, I choose this day to take the pathway of truth as God has given me the light to see and know the truth. This light has led me to a position, not of open and overt defiance of the Court and its misguided reapportionment order, but to one of passively ignoring the order as coming from a Court that is totally without constitutional jurisdiction to pass such an order. To actively fight the Court on the issue of reapportionment is to imply agreement that it has jurisdiction on the question and simple disagreement with the content and effect of the order is to say that any plan of reapportionment with which we might wrestle here in this body condones the Court's usurpation of jurisdiction which I main tain the Court does not have. If the Court does not have jurisdiction
and I contend it does not have, then all this work over any particular plan to satisfy the order issued by it is constructive acquiescence to jurisdiction that does not exist. How, can we honestly maintain, as the vast majority of our colleagues in this House have done, that the Court
does not have jurisdiction and, at the same time concern ourselves to the point of bitter travail over various plans, schemes, artifices and devices by which the whim of the Court might be placated? If truth establishes lack of jurisdiction on the part of the Court, any order issued where there is no jurisdiction is a nullity prima facie and any exercise of effort to defeat or circumvent the effect of such an order can do no less than lend color of title to the Court's specious claim of judisdiction.

To lay any kind of claim to valid jurisdiction on the subject of ap portioning legislative bodies of the various states of this Union, the Court must move itself into the legislative field since the Constitution is silent on this subject. It is not, however, silent on the question as to whether the Court can exercise legislative functions. Article I, Sec tion 1, (1) of the Constitution of the United States reads as follows: "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of
Representatives."

Judging their intent from the tenor of recent orders of the Court, inference can be validly drawn that the present Court operates on the premise that where the word "granted" is used in the Constitution that it refers to that which the Court itself might have granted to the people by way of the Constitution. This, of course, is not true since we all know that all "grants" mentioned in the Constitution came from the people wherein sovereignty resided then and wherein sovereignty still ultimate ly rests, recent orders of the Court to the contrary notwithstanding.

Since there is no question, relative constitutionally direction as to Congress having all legislative powers, the only question left for defi nite determination with reference to jurisdiction is the question of defining what is meant by "legislative power." Webster's dictionary defines the word "legislate" thusly: "to make or enact a law: to effect by legislation" and defines "legislation" as; "the act of making a law or laws". Webster goes further to define "legislative" as; "pertaining to, or enacted by, legislation; having the power to legislate; . . . the law making power in government, as distinguished from the admin istrative and judicial."

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

If there were any references in the Constitution to the composition or apportionment of the various state legislatures, substance might be found in contention that the Supreme Court would have jurisdiction relative the interpretation of such references. References can be found in the Constitution relative to the composition of the legislatures of the various states. The 17th Amendment which has to do with election of United States Senators and which reads, in part, as follows: "... The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature." Similar language is found in Article I. Section 2. If the Supreme Court could forsake the legislative field which it has preempted and concern itself with inter pretation of the clear intent and construction of the Constitution which its Members are sworn to uphold, they would not have to tax their judicially untutored capacity unreasonably to clearly infer from the wording of the 17th Amendment meaning to the effect that the architects of the Amendment assumed, when they used the phrase "most numerous branch of the state legislature", that state legislatures were composed of bodies of such composition and apportionment that one branch was, and would continue to be, more numerous than the other branch.

If the Court should require additional foundation for inferred premise that those who composed our Constitution envisioned two branches of the state legislatures, with one being more numerous than the other, the Court would need look no further than Section 4 of Article IV, (1) which reads as follows: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of government, .... .". Although the founders of the Constitution did not define what they meant by the term "republican form of government", they did con structively define the reference by first establishing the Federal legisla tive structure wherein one house of the Congress was apportioned on a population basis and the other on the basis of geography and called that which they had established a republic or republican form of govern ment.

In its recent legislative fiat, issued in the cloak of judicial edict, relative necessity for state legislatures to apportion both branches on a "one man-- one vote-- basis," the Court has performed an astoundingly remarkable exercise in semantic contortion by pleading that the Consti tution provides for the Federal Congress being apportioned with one House based on population and the other on geography but does not provide sanction for the state legislatures being so apportioned.

The brutal truth of the matter is that the architects of the Consti tution imputed unto even this generation sufficient intelligence as to assume that, where constructive definition was provided, there was no need for repetitive elementary definition. They ordained and established the federal legislative establishment. They called that which they had established a "republican form of government" and later in the same document stated in clear and concise terms that "The United States shall guarantee to every State of this Union a republican form of gov ernment".
No, my friends, in light of the express intent of the founders of this Republic, there can be no reasonable conclusion other than validity

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1965

for the constitutional soundness of this House being apportioned on the basis of geography in view of the fact that the other branch of this state legislature is apportioned on the basis of population, strained semantic construction of the Supreme Court to the contrary notwith standing.

In our present day mass oriented society it has become popular to say that the supreme law of the land, supreme to the point where all must yield unquestionably, is that which some politically appointed Supreme Court says that law is. Popular though this blithe assertion is, it does gross violence to constitutional truth for the Constitution states the contrary of this premise in Article VI, Section (2), which reads as follows: "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, SHALL BE THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND; ....." This does not say that the supreme law of the land is the last edict of the oligarchy called the Supreme Court. It states that the supreme law of the land is the Constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof.

Since there can be no doubt the conclusion that the fiat issued by the Court relative apportionment of State legislatures is purely legisla tive in nature, it logically follows that any action in this field, to be constitutionally valid, would fall within the jurisdiction of the Congress of the United States since Article I, Section 1 states that all legislative powers shall vest in Congress. Assuming the Congress of the United States to have jurisdiction, and there is where jurisdiction lies if it lies at all, can you imagine, the political fate of Members of the Congress if they had enacted legislation having the same purported effect as that claimed for the Court's order? And yet, it is the Congress of the United States that has been elected to express the will of the majority of the people of the United States.

The naked truth of the matter is that, in order to twist the terms of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution to the accomplishment of their own preconceived political purposes, the Supreme Court has ca priciously and wantonly ignored the clear and unambiguous language of the 10th Amendment which is so clear in expression that it does not require interpretation by implication or inference. This 10th Amend ment reads as follows: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

No power to dictate the apportionment of state legislatures can be found in the Constitution as being delegated to any branch of the government of the United States and any arrogation of such power is a nullity and should be ignored as having no force and effect in any court of law or equity since the Constitution governs both. To dignify such arrogation of unwarranted jurisdiction with effort to comply with any order springing from said arrogation is to do no less or more than demean ourselves and stand us, and each of us, convicted of gross derilection of duty imposed by the office we hold and cravenly guilty of violating the trust reposed in us by those who sent us here to main tain their sovereignty as the court of last and final resort. Shall we,

946

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

this day, honor the trust reposed in us by the sovereign people we repre sent, or shall we take the pathway of least resistance, the taking of which makes both men and rivers crooked, by yielding to a judiciolegislative fiat enunciated by a group of political philosophers who fate has mistakenly allowed to sit in judgment on us? Shall we answer to an appointed body of social engineers who call their edicts the supreme law of the land, or shall we make our accounting to our conscience and our constituencies?

Nearly nine score years ago sixty-five relatively young men who averaged in age approximately 40 years--young men who were, thank God, idealistic, wise, intrepid and brave, ordained and established for themselves, and again, thank God, for their posterity, an immortal docu ment called the Constitution of the United States. The genius of this docu ment is found in the fact that it established a system of checks and balances between the legislative, the executive and the judicial branches of our government. It provided that no one branch of the government could any longer make the law, interpret the law and execute the law. It set up and ordained a system where power was limited to that which was delegated by the Constitution to the three branches of the govern ment. It set up a system of delegated power with all power not so dele gated reserved to the people.

In order to establish and ordain a constitutional system for them selves and their posterity, our founding fathers had been required to risk their "lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor" in overt defiance of the British Empire which was the greatest political and military power of that day. If they had lost in their audacious quest for human free dom and liberty under God, they would have been hanged as traitors.

My friends, I do not take this floor today to suggest that 205 Members of this House, recipients of the glorious heritage embodied in the Constitution and holders of a moral trust reposed in us by those who sent us here--no, I am not suggesting that we 205 Representatives do as much as the 65 who risked their all that we might enjoy freedom under the Constitution, I am merely suggesting that we show some small degree of the courage they manifested--not the courage it takes to take positive action, to commit overt acts of defiance--but simply the small amount of the courage it takes to do nothing. If we agree, and I think most of us do, that the Court does not have the jurisdiction, therefore, has no authority to act in the field of apportioning state legislatures, then all that is required of our courage is for us to ignore the order of the Court as being a nullity.

The Supreme Court pleads the validity of their unwarranted edict relative reapportionment on the ground that they took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. I would re1 mind you, my colleagues, that you also took a solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the sovereign State of Georgia. Are you willing to let a bare ma jority of a politically appointed Court, the members of which were not elected by the people and a few editorialists who would have you be lieve that they are the repositories of all wisdom, define for you what the Constitution, you are sworn to defend and uphold, means? Are the

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1965

947

McGills and the Pattersons, who haven't been elected by any constituen cy, the keepers of your conscience and the builders of your resolve?

I am sure there are a few of the faint hearted who will contend that my suggested passive resistance to the edict of a Court that has arrogated unwarranted power unto itself, is no more than a suggested exercise in futility--that we will be alone among all the states and that our refusal to dignify the specious order of the Court with the validity implied by any action toward reapportionment--that we will be lost in our loneliness--but, I am sure there are many other state legislators throughout this country of ours who feel as I do and are, perhaps, just waiting for a few like us who will refuse to yield jurisdiction on ap portionment of state legislatures to the Supreme Court. It could well be, that there are many like situated with us who are waiting for the first step in passive defiance to be taken. An old Chinese proverb holds that the longest journey, even one of a thousand miles, begins with the first step. I cannot in good conscience and in light of my under standing of the meaning and construction of the Constitution I am sworn to defend, yield jurisdiction relative apportionment of state legislatures to the Supreme Court, and I, for one, do not propose to impute unwarranted jurisdiction to it by taking action on any plan which purports to satisfy such unwarranted jurisdiction and power the Court has arrogated unto itself.

No, I do not urge rebellion, secession or overt defiance of the Court. I simply urge this House to deny jurisdiction on reapportionment to the Court by simply going ahead with our regular business and treating the Court's order as the nullity it is.

We can be true to our trust and worthy of our constitutional heritage of freedom and liberty under God by simply refusing to do any thing with reference to the spurious nullity called a court order on reappor tionment. All I ask is that we show the courage, the little modicum of courage, it takes to do nothing. Are we too craven to simply do nothing ?

Mr. Blalock of Coweta moved that this House do now adjourn until 9:30 o'clock tomorrow morning and the motion prevailed.

The Speaker announced the House adjourned until 9:30 o'clock a.m. tomorrow

HB 44. By Messrs. Barber of Jackson, Harris of DeKalb and others:
A Bill to be entitled an Act to amend Code Chapter Y4-1 relating to the relationship of parent to child, so as to require certain persons to report any cases of cruel treatment of children which he notices in any exami nation of any such children, and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read:
A BILL
To be entitled an Act to amend Code Chapter 74-1 relating to the relationship of parent to child, so as to require certain persons to report any cases of cruel treatment of children which he notices in the exami nation of any such children; to provide for the contents and nature of report made by such persons; to provide that any person making such a report shall be immune from criminal and civil liability; to provide that the contents of any such report shall not be privileged evidence; to prescribe the purpose of this Act; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION 1
Code Chapter 74-1 relating to the relationship of parent to child is hereby amended by adding after Code Section 74-110 new Code Sections to read as follows:
"74-110.1 Reports by Physicians, other treating personnel, and Institutions. Any physician, including any doctor of medicine licensed to practice under Chapter 84-9 of the Code of Georgia of 1933, as amended, licensed osteopathic physician, intern, resident, public health nurse and welfare worker having cause to believe that a child under the age of twelve brought to him or coming before him for examination, care or treatment has had physical injury or injuries inflicted upon him other than by accidental means by a parent or caretaker, shall report or cause reports to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Act; provided, however, that when the attendance of a physician with respect to a child is pursuant to the performance of services as a member of the staff of a hospital or similar institution he shall notify the person in charge of the in stitution or his designated delegate who shall report or cause reports to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Act; and pro vided, further, that when an apparently abused child has been seen by a public health nurse or welfare worker, then said public health nurse or welfare worker shall report his or her observation to the County Health Officer or, if none, to any licensed physician who shall, after examination and if he concurs that the injuries were inflicted by other than accidental means, report or cause reports to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Act.

1004

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

"74-110.2. Nature and Content of Report; to whom made. An oral report shall be made immediately by telephone or otherwise, and followed by a report in writing, to a child welfare agency pro viding protective services, or in the absence of such agency, to an appropriate police authority. Such reports shall contain the names the addresses of the child and his parents or caretakers, if known, the child's age, the nature and extent of the child's injuries (in cluding any evidence of previous injuries), and any other informa tion that the physician believes might be helpful in establishing the cause of the injuries and the identity of the perpetrator.
"74-110.3. Immunity from Liability. Anyone participating in the making of a report pursuant to this Act or participating in a judicial proceeding resulting therefrom shall in so doing be immune from any liability, civil or criminal, that might otherwise be incurred or imposed.
"74-110.4. Evidence Not Privileged. The physician-patient privi lege and the psychiatrist-patient privilege shall not be a ground for excluding evidence regarding a child's injuries or the cause thereof, in any judicial proceeding resulting from a report pursuant to this Act.
"74-110.5. Purpose. The purpose of Code Sections 74-110.1 through 74-110.5 is to provide for the protection of children whose health and welfare are adversely affected and further threatened by the conduct of those responsible for their care and protection. This is often manifest by the infliction, other than by accidental means, of physical injury requiring the attention of a physician. It is intended that the mandatory reporting of such cases by physicians and institutions to appropriate police authority will cause the protective services of the State to be brought to bear on the situation in an effort to prevent further abuses, protect and en hance the welfare of these children, and preserve family life wherever possible. These Code Sections shall be liberally construed so as to carry out the purposes of said Code Sections."

SECTION 2
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.
The following amendment to the Committee substitute was read and adopted:
Mr. Paris of Barrow moves to amend Committee substitute to HB 44 by substituting a comma at the end of Section 74-110.3 in lieu of the period and adding at the end thereof the following language:
"Provided any such participation pursuant to this Act shall be made in good faith".

The Committee substitute was adopted as amended.

The report of the Committee, which was favorable to the passage of the Bill, by substitute, was agreed to, as amended.

"Any person who violates the provisions of this Act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and punished as provided by law."

Murphy of Haralson moves to amend HB 163 as follows: By striking the quoted Section 20 A as same appears in Section 1 and inserting in lieu thereof the following Section 20 A.

"Section 20A. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, all post mortem examinations and/or autopsies performed pursuant to the provisions of this Act shall be limited to the sole purpose of determining the cause and manner of death unless other wise authorized by proper persons. In the event any vitals, organs, bone, tissue or other matter is removed from on or in the dead body upon which a post mortem examination and/or autopsy is performed, the vitals, organs, bone, tissue or other matter shall be returned on or in said dead body upon the completion of the post mortem examination and/or autopsy except fluids and those parts of said dead body needed for miscroscopid or toxicological examina tion, and it shall be the duty of the person in charge of the body to see that such vitals, organs, bone, tissue or other matter is re stored to the body. Provided, however, coroners, medical examiners or any other person acting in their place and stead may authorize any vitals, organs, bone, tissue or other matter to be withheld from a dead body when such withholding is clearly in the furtherance of justice. In the event a coroner, medical examiner or any other person acting in his place and stead shall authorize any vitals, organs, bone, tissue or other matter to be withheld from a dead body upon which a post mortem and/or autopsy is performed, the person legally entitled to the dead body for burial shall be notified of such fact if the dead body is claimed and such notice shall contain a list of the vitals, organs, bone, tissue or other matter so withheld, the purpose for which it or they were withheld, the place same are located and what disposition shall be made of them after completion of the examination or other use of such vitals, organs, bone, tissue or other matter. The withholding of any vitals, organs, bone, tissue or other matter from on or in a dead body without giving written notice as herein required to the person legally entitled to such dead body for burial if said dead body is claimed shall be prima facie evidence of intent to steal, take and carry away the same."

HR 214. By Dr. Savage:
A RESOLUTION
Urging the Georgia Delegation in the United States Congress to oppose the Medicare plan for health care of the elderly under Social Security and to support "The Eldercare Act of 1965" proposed by the American Medical Association; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, Medicare offers only limited benefits, covering about one-quarter of the total yearly health costs of the average aged person, and providing only limited hospitalization and nursing-home care and some diagnostic and home nursing services; but not covering physician's services, surgical charges, drugs outside the hospital or nursing home, or laboratory services not connected with hospitalization; and

1202

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

WHEREAS, Eldercare would provide a wide spectrum of benefits including physicians' care, surgical and drug costs, hospitalization and nursing home charges, diagnostic services, x-ray and laboratory fees, and other services; and

WHEREAS, under the Medicare plan, all persons 65 and over, the rich as well as the needy, would be eligible for limited benefits, and thus only a part of the funds expended would go to aid those elderly persons who actually need assistance; and

WHEREAS, Eldercare is designed to provide comprehensive bene fits for people 65 and over who need care and cannot afford it; and eligibility for benefits would be determined before illness strikes and without a welfare-type investigation; and

WHEREAS, the Medicare tax plan would increase payroll taxes on all wage earners and their employers, and would require the $5,600 per year worker to pay as much tax as the $56,000 per year executive-- thus hitting hardest at those least able to pay; and

WHEREAS, under Eldercare, the elderly in participating states would obtain a policy for medical and hospital care and would con tribute a part, or none, of the costs, depending on their level of income. The remaining costs of such policies would be financed by federal-state matching funds through an already existing program, not requiring a new payroll tax; and

WHEREAS, Medicare would permit the federal government to ex ercise an undesirable degree of direct control over hospitals and doctors, and would operate to restrict the free choice of elderly patients in select ing a hospital or nursing home and in continuing the services of their own physician; and

WHEREAS, under Eldercare, the patient would have free choice of physician, hospital, and nursing home; and medical care would be provided, without bureaucratic intervention, in a manner that is in keep ing with the high standards and high quality of our present health system; and

WHEREAS, in summary, Medicare is a plan which would increase payroll taxes and provide only limited benefits to everyone 65 and over, without regard to need; while "The Eldercare Act of 1965", supported by doctors, would provide a wide range of hospital and medical care to people 65 and over who need help in financing these expenses, and would do so through a program costing taxpayers less than the Medicare tax plan because of Eldercare's efficient and sensible use of tax dollars.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body, for the foregoing reasons, urge the Georgia Delegation in the United States Congress to be vocal and active in opposing the Medicare tax plan and in support ing the Eldercare plan which offers more benefits to the elderly at less
cost to the taxpayer.

Section 51. In accordance with the requirements of Article VII, Section VI, Paragraph la of the Constitu tion of the State of Georgia, as amended, there is hereby appropriated payable to each Department, Agency, or In stitution of the State sums sufficient to satisfy the pay ments required to be made in each year, under lease con tracts now in existence or as provided for in this appro priation act between any Department, Agency or Insti tution of the State, and any Authority created and acti vated at the time of the effective date of the aforesaid constitutional provision, as amended, or appropriated for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1965, and for each and every fiscal year thereafter, until all payments required under lease contracts have been paid in full and if for any reason any of the sums herein provided under any other provision of this Act are insufficient in any year to make the required payments in full, there shall be taken from other funds appropriated to the Department, Agency or Institution involved, an amount sufficient to satisfy such deficiency in full and the lease payment constitutes a first charge on all such appropriations.
The General Assembly declares that the sums here by appropriated are to pay the general obligations of the State incurred under valid lease contracts and such ap propriations are to be paid from the General Funds of the State as a first charge upon general funds.
Section 52.

In those cases in which the said Budget Report contains no recommenda tion of expenditures as to Objects by the Governor, the Director of the Budget, except as to the Legislative and Judicial Branches of the Governor, is authorized to allo cate as to Object said funds as he deems proper.

Section 53. In the event it is determined by the Budget Bureau that the total funds in the State Treasury in a fiscal year in which appropriations are made in the aforegoing Sections of this Act are to be less than the amount needed to pay in full the specific appropriations authorized, the Director of the Budget is authorized and is hereby directed to make a pro rata reduction of the amount of each appropriation hereinbefore made, except authority lease rental funds and other constitutionally obligated funds, as provided by Georgia Code Section 40-418 (Ga. Laws 1962, p. 17).

The amounts of the appropriations so reduced as directed herein and as determined by the Budget Bureau shall cease to be an obligation of the State. Provided further, the Budget Bureau is hereby directed to econo mize wherever possible and in the event any part of the appropriations provided in the foregoing Sections of this Act shall be in excess of the actual approved budget allotments for each fiscal year, the amounts so in ex cess as determined by the Budget Bureau shall cease to be an obligation of the State.

This Section applies to all funds of each Budget Unit from whatever source derived. In those cases in which the said Budget Report contains no recom mendation of expenditures as to Objects by the Governor, the Director of the Budget, except as to the Legislative and Judicial Branches of the Government, is authorized to allocate as to Object said funds as he deems proper. Provided that none of the funds appropriated above may be used to initiate or commence any new program or project that would require operating funds or capital outlay funds beyond the 1965 to 1967 biennium, unless such program or project shall have been specifically au thorized by the General Assembly.

foregoing Sections of this Act are to be less than the amount needed to pay in full the specific appropriations authorized, the Director of the Budget is authorized and is hereby directed to make a pro rata reduction of the amount of each appropriation hereinbefore made, except authority lease rental funds and other constitutionally obligated funds, as provided by Georgia Code Section 40-418 (Ga. Laws 1962, p. 17).

Provided further, the Budget Bureau is hereby directed to econo mize wherever possible and in the event any part of the appropriations provided in the foregoing Sections of this Act shall be in excess of the actual approved budget allot ments for each fiscal year, the amounts so in excess as determined by the Budget Bureau shall cease to be an obligation of the State.

SB 79. Senators Thompson of the 34th, Coggin of the 35th and Maclntyre of the 40th and others:
A Bill to be entitled an Act to amend an Act entitled "College Park City Charter Amendment", with reference to city employees pension plan, to provide benefits, rules and regulations for pension payments, and for other purposes.

The following committee substitute was read and adopted:
An Act to amend an Act entitled "College Park City Charter Amendment" approved January 30, 1946 (Ga. Laws 1946, pp. 432-454), and the several Acts amendatory thereof, so as to provide an alternate pension plan for employees now employed by the City of College Park who may elect to accept the benefits of such alternate plan and for all employees who may hereafter enter the service of said city: to provide benefits and rules and regulations for the payment of benefits to retired employees and their dependents: and for other purposes."
BE IT ENACTED by the General Assembly of Georgia that the Act entitled "College Park City Charter Amendment" approved January 30, 1946 (Ga. Laws 1946, pp. 432-454), and the several acts amendatory thereof, be further amended as follows:
Section 1. The pension benefits provided by this section and the several subsections of this Section 1 of this amendatory Act of 1965, shall be in lieu of the pension benefits provided to employees under laws affording pension benefits to employees of the City of College Park in existence prior to the adoption of this act approved by the General Assembly during the year 1965.
(a) Any officer or employee of the City of College Park who was so employed on the effective date of this amendatory act of 1965, and who is otherwise eligible for pension benefits under the Act approved Janu ary 30, 1946 (Ga. L. 1946, pp. 432-454) and the several amendatory Acts thereof, may elect to come under the provisions of this Section 1 of this amendatory Act of 1965, and the several subsections hereof, in lieu of other pension benefits and obligations which the applicant might have been entitled to from the City of College Park under the pension plan of the City of College Park as same existed prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1965, to the extent that the provisions of this amendatory Act are in conflict with prior Acts establishing or amending the Pension Plan for employees of the City of College Park. All officers and employees employed by the city on the effective date of this Act, who do not in writing elect to accept the benefits and obligations of this Section 1 of this amendatory Act of 1965, and the several subsections hereof, shall have their rights and obligations with respect to the employees pension plan of the City of College Park determined under the law as it existed prior to this amendment of 1965. Employees and officers of the City who become employed by the city after the effective date of this amendment of 1965 shall have their bene fits and obligations with respect to the pension plan of the City of

1316

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

College Park determined with reference to and fixed by the provisions of said pension plan as amended by this amendatory act of 1965.

(b) Any officer or employee of the City of College Park who elects to come under the provisions of this Section 1 of this amendatory Act of 1965, and the several subsections hereof, or who becomes employed by said City subsequent to the effective date of this Act, and who re tires as a matter of right, shall be entitled to receive a service pen sion in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the first three hundred dollars ($300.00) of his average monthly salary, plus one and one-half percent (1-%%) of his average monthly salary over three hundred dollars ($300.00), multiplied by the number of years of service. For example, an employee who retires as a matter of right after 25 years of service, whose average monthly salary is $500.00, is entitled to a monthly pension in the amount of $225.00, determined as follows: 2% of the first $300.00 of average monthly salary equals six dollars ($6.00). One and one-half percent of the average monthly salary over $300.00 (which excess is $200.00 in this illustration) equals three dollars ($3.00). The sum of $6.00 and $3.00 thus obtained (or $9.00) is then multiplied by 25 (the number of years of service) to arrive at the monthly pension of $225.00.
(c) The sum of five percent (5%) of the salary or wages of officers and employees coming under the provisions of this Section 1 of this amendatory act, and the subsections hereof, and who do not provide for the payment of a pension to a widow or minor child or children, shall be deducted from the salary or wages earned by such officers and employees during each calendar month. The sum of six percent (6%) of the salary or wages of officers and employees coming under the pro visions of this Section 1 of this Amendatory Act, and the subsections hereof, and who desire that the employee's widow or minor child or children succeed to the employee's rights as a pensioner (as authorized by the Act of 1946, Ga. L. 1946, pp. 432-454), shall be deducted from the salary or wages earned by such officers and employees during each calendar month.
(d) With respect to officers and employees in the service of the City on the date this Amendatory Act becomes effective, and who elect to come under the provisions of this Section 1 of this Act of 1965, the sums required to be paid as deductions from salary or wages under this Section 1 of this Amendatory Act of 1965, and the subsections hereof, shall be deducted from all sums paid such officers and employees as salary or wages subsequent to the date on which the officer or em ployee files with the Pension Board a written application to elect to come under the provisions of this Section 1 of this Amendatory Act of 1965. With respect to persons coming into the service of the City after the effective date of this Amendatory Act of 1965, an employee's contri bution shall commence after such employee's probationary period (as described in Section 7 of the Act of 1946, Ga. L. 1946, p. 448) has been served.
(e) Any person in the service of the City on the effective date of this Amendatory Act of 1965, who elects to come under the provisions of this Section 1 of this Amendatory Act, and the subsections hereof,

MONDAY, MARCH 1, 1965

1317

and who shall voluntarily retire within three years immediately follow ing the effective date of this Amendatory Act of 1965, shall pay into the Pension Fund an amount which, when added to the amounts de ducted by the City, will equal the total amount that would have been deducted during such three year period had the person remained in the service of the City for the full three year period at the salary or wages he was drawing at the time of his retirement. Such payment shall be made within six months after retirement. In case the required payment is not made within said six months period, the Pension Board shall col lect the amount by deductions from future pension payments, in such amounts as the Board may fix, whether such payments are made to the employee or a surviving widow or children designated as beneficiary by the employee. Past due payments shall bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum. No payments shall be required in case of involuntary retirement, but shall be required in case of death of an employee, within three years of the date of approval of this Amendatory Act, who has designated a widow or minor children as beneficiary to succeed to the employee's rights as a pensioner, where the widow or minor children designated are eligible for and actually receive pension payments.

(f) There is hereby added to Section 4 of the Act approved January 30, 1946 (Ga. L. 1946, pp. 432, 448), following the sentence ending with the word "widowhood" on the fifth line from the top of page 448, the following provision:

"Provided that if a widow of the pensioner receiving service pension benefits is more than five (5) years younger than the pen sioner, 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%) shall not apply if the widow is fifty-five years or more of age at the time she becomes eligible for benefits.

"The words minor 'child' or 'children' shall mean the natural or legally adopted minor child or children of an employee who were in life or adopted prior to the pensioner's retirement from Active Service."

(g) The following sentence contained in Section 2 of the Act of 1946 (Ga. L. 1946, p. 432), commencing in the eleventh line from the top of page 442 of said Acts, is deleted in its entirety, to wit: "The amount of pension allowed for disability shall never exceed the sum of $100.00 per month in any instance." And the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

"The amount of pension allowed for disability shall never exceed the sum of $100.00 per month with respect to employees in the employ of the City prior to July 1, 1965, who retain their status in the pension plan of the City as said plan existed prior to the year 1965."
(h) There is hereby added to the aforesaid Act approved January 30, 1946 (Ga. L. 1946, p. 432), as amended, the following provisions:

1318

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

"If an employee who has contributed to the pension fund and who has at least five years of continuous service should resign or be dismissed from the city without having received or become eligible to receive a pension of any kind (except an employee dis placed by a returning veteran), such employee shall be entitled to receive a refund of seventy-five percent (75%) of the total con tributions made by the employee to the pension fund, and the pay ment by the pension board of such refund to such employee shall terminate such employee's rights under this law. Such refund shall be paid within ninety (90) days of the employee's date of termina tion of service; and should such an employee die before receiving said refund, said refund shall be paid to his estate. No employee who has resigned or been dismissed from service with the city and who has been paid a refund of a portion of his contributions to the pension fund, and who is reemployed by the city, shall be entitled to receive credit on his service record for prior year's service until all of the amount received as refund (together with three percent (3%) interest per annum thereon from the date of terminating employment to date of repayment of the refund) shall be repaid to the pension fund; and such repayment must be made by the em ployee during his lifetime and while in the employ of the city.

"If an employee who has contributed to the fund should die without having received or become entitled to receive a pension of any kind under this law, and without leaving a qualified widow or minor child eligible to receive a pension of any kind under this law, the estate of such deceased employee shall be entitled to receive a refund of ninety-five percent (95%) of the total contributions made by the employee to the pension fund. No pension shall be paid under this Act to any person except to a qualified employee or to the qualified widow or minor child or children of a qualified em ployee.

"If any employee is discharged from employment by the city for the purpose of enabling a returning veteran to resume the position formerly held by said veteran, all contributions to the pen sion fund made by such displaced employee shall be refunded to such employee."

Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith be and the same are hereby repealed.

HR 229. By Messrs. Sewell, Shea and Richardson of Chatham:
A RESOLUTION
Regrettably, and all too young, another member of the public spirited Morgan family of Effingham and Chatham counties has passed from the Georgia scene. He was Samuel H. Morgan, whose recent death at the age of 59 stopped a career that had followed the pattern set by his forebears.
This is a pattern of service to God, to country, to fellowmen. The saga of the Morgan family is inspiring. It runs back into early American history and in the more recent years has been carried on by the genera tions headed by the late Samuel H. Morgan, the senior. Mr. Morgan and his children had a tradition to live up to, and they heeded un hesitatingly the call of character and responsibility.
As is not unusual on a team, and we apply that term to the Morgan family in its best sense, there are members whose works are better known publicly than others, although each member of the team makes his valuable contribution to the whole. The senior Mr. Morgan served well in several public areas--his church, education, and the development of Georgia's economy. His sons and daughter had the benefit and the inspiration of sound paternal and maternal precept and example and in discharging the obligations of their generation they did not fail.
Samuel Hughes Morgan, who to countless friends was simply and affectionately "Sam", was the youngest of the Morgan brothers. As a lad he lived in the home place at Guyton but, following his graduation from high school there, spent most of his life in Savannah. The interests that had long stirred the family found active appreciation in him. He had served on the Georgia Forestry Commission and quietly associated himself with many altruistic community and individual efforts. His was the quiet way of service, sincere and effective.
Sam Morgan was the last of his generation in the family business, which now comes under the guidance of the third generation of kinsmen. If we were to sum up his philosophy of life, it would be to repeat his frequent greeting: "What can I do to help you?" There can be no finer motto.

The following Resolutions of the House were read and referred to the Com mittee on Rules:

HR 230. By Mrs. Merritt of Sumter and Barber of Jackson:

The funds necessary for the purposes of this Resolution shall come from the funds appropriated to or available to the Legislative Branch of the Govern ment.

HR 231. By Mr, Irvin of Harbersham:
A RESOLUTION
Creating a Committee to study the best method of calculating local financial ability under the new minimum foundation program of educa tion; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, a new minimum foundation program of education was enacted by the General Assembly of Georgia in 1964; and
WHEREAS, the local financial ability of each local unit of adminis tration to raise funds in support of the new minimum foundation pro gram of education has been changed; and
WHEREAS, the calculation of local financial ability has created a great deal of confusion.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that there is hereby created a Committee to study the best method of calculating local financial ability of each local unit of administration of the State of Georgia under the new Minimum Foundation Program of Education Act.

HR 232. By Messrs. Hutchinson of Dougherty, Grahl of Peach, and many others:
A RESOLUTION
Urging certain business firms to reexamine their personnel policies; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, it has come to the attention of this body that certain business firms frequently discharge employees with many years of faith ful service; and
WHEREAS, such practices are often motivated, not by a lack of ability on the part of such employees, but by a desire to hire new em ployees at lower wages and to avoid payment of retirement or pension benefits; and
WHEREAS, such practices represent a callous disregard for the well-being of employees who have served such firms well and faith fully; and
WHEREAS, such practices also represent short-sightedness and unsound business thinking; and
WHEREAS, such practices contribute to low morale among younger employees who feel they may suffer the same fate after many years of service; and
WHEREAS, such low morale causes inefficiency and a high turn over in personnel thus offsetting any economies that may be realized by such practices;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that this body does hereby urge all business firms making a practice of discharging employees who have many years of faithful service to reexamine their personnel policies.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is hereby authorized and directed to transmit appro-

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

will enable them to provide for their own self-government in matters pertaining to their property, local affairs and government; and to re lieve the General Assembly of the necessity for acting on matters of primarily local concern for which no provision is made by general law.

Home Rule for Municipalities (a) The governing authority of each municipality shall have legislative power to adopt reasonable ordi nances, resolutions or regulations relating to its property, affairs and local government for which no provision has been made by general law and which are not inconsistent with the Constitution or any charter provision applicable thereto. Any such charter provision shall remain in force and effect until amended or repealed as in subsection (b).

On the passage of the Bill, by substitute as amended, the ayes were 141, nays 48.

The Bill, having received the requisite constitutional majority, was passed, by substitute, as amended.

Messrs. Blalock of Coweta, and Lewis of Wilkinson stated that they in advertently voted "Nay" and would like to be recorded as voting "Aye".

Mr. Roper of Greene stated that he was out of the House at the time the roll was called but had he been present he would have voted "Aye" on HB 367.

The following explanation was received from Rep. John Anderson of Pulaski as to his voting on HB 367:
Being interested in voting for a plan for reapportionment which would retain the House at its present size, as well as a plan which most students of constitutional government believed would meet with the court's approval, I supported the Committee substitute, HB 367, which retained the House membership at 205 members.

1598

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

I voted against the Matthews substitute to HB 367 which would provide for a house of 252 members, because the tolerance or ratio be tween counties was not in proper balance, and was in reality opposed to the language of the District Court's order, and would have left the reapportionment of the House up to the Federal Court, and I, feel that responsible representatives should meet the task of reapportionment, and vote for the plan which will most likely meet the requirements set down by the Court, and at the same time retain as much representation as is realistically feasible.

Mr. Bolton of Spalding moved that this House do now adjourn until 10:30 o'clock a.m. tomorrow and the motion prevailed.

The Speaker announced the House adjourned until 10:30 o'clock a.m. tomorrow.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that there is hereby created a committee to study the administration of dormitories and the rules and regulations relating thereto within the University System of Georgia.

HE 256. By Mr. Jones of Lumpkin:
A RESOLUTION
Relative to the reapportionment of the House of Representatives; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the House of Representatives of the State of Georgia has kept good faith with the United States Federal Court in reapportioning its membership in accordance with the order and directive of said Court; and
WHEREAS, the existing membership of the House of Representa tives of the State of Georgia was duly elected under the laws of the State of Georgia and the Constitution thereof, for a full two-year term expiring December, 1966, however, the Court order did provide that the reapportionment of the House of Representatives become effective January, 1966, and the House of Representatives did in respect to the court order and in further evidence of keeping good faith with the Court make the effective date under the reapportionment Bill passed out in the 1965 Session, as directed by the Court; and
WHEREAS, it has heretofore been the established practice that the terms of the membership of the House of Representatives expire concurrently with the Governor's term, which has been proven to be the best interest of the citizens of the State of Georgia; and
WHEREAS, the expense of ordering a special election in the year 1965 is estimated to exceed $2,000,000; and
WHEREAS, it is unknown at the present time as to what will be the composition of the House of Representatives after this complete reapportionment and it is not beyond the possibility that at least 80% of the composition of said House of Representatives would consist of new membership inexperienced in the field of legislation; and
WHEREAS, if the existing House of Representatives was allowed to serve the term to which it was duly elected by the people of the State

FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1965

1701

of Georgia and in accordance with its laws and Constitution, to wit: up to and including December 31, 1966, it would enable the citizens of the State of Georgia who have intentions of seeking election in the House of Representatives in the State of Georgia, a training period in the 1966 Session, in order that they could attend same and become familiar with legislative processes and thereby eliminate the hazard of having a completely inexperienced body during the year 1966, which could possibly and would probably pass legislation not in the best in terest of the citizens of the State of Georgia;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that this body urgently request His Excellency, Governor Carl E. Sanders, immediately upon signing into law House Bill No. 367, to transmit same to the Honorable Judges of the United States Federal Court, and for the Attorney General of the State of Georgia to petition said Honorable Court of rule on the validity of said Bill and further petition the Honorable Court to consider modifying their order with reference to the effective date of said Bill so that the existing membership can serve their duly elected terms if the Honor able Court would see fit to modify their order accordingly, all of which would be to the best interests of the citizens of the State of Georgia, and that the Attorney General prepare a Bill to amend House Bill No. 367 changing its effective date so that the membership of the House of Representatives can serve as aforesaid.

Section 3. Legislative Findings and Declaration of Policy. The territory comprising the counties of Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Clayton, and Gwinnett has developed, and continues to develop, into a metropolitan area with a common interest in the economic well-being of the people therein and the development of the educational, commercial and indus trial resources thereof. There exists in this metropolitan area usual traffic conditions and congestions and mass transportation problems which should be economically solved to permit the development of these common interests toward their fullest potential. Concerted governmental action is needed to alleviate such traffic conditions and congestion, supply deficiencies in mass transportation, coordinate and balance the transportation facilities operating therein, and otherwise provide a sounder basis for the development of traffic patterns and control. The development of a rapid transit system through a coordinated instru mentality of the county governments within the metropolitan area is a reasonable approach to the aforementioned needs and problems. The social and economic well-being of the people in the metropolitan area and the development of the educational, commercial, and industrial

(c) The principal of and interest on such bonds shall be payable solely from the special debt retirement fund hereinafter established for this purpose in subsection (m) hereof.

MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1965

1801

(d) The bonds of each issue shall be dated, shall bear interest payable semi-annually at a rate not exceeding four and one-half percent (4%%) per annum, and shall mature in such amounts and at such times as the Board may deem appropriate but not exceeding thirty years from the date thereof. The bonds may be in coupon or registered form, or both, as the Board may determine, and the Board may make provision for the registration of any coupon bond as to principal alone and also as to both principal and interest.

(e) The Board may prescribe the form of the bonds and any coupons which may be used in conjunction therewith; it may determine the denominations of the bonds, the terms and conditions of their redemption before maturity, but not in excess of five percent (5%) above par value, the medium of payment both as to principal and interest and the place of payment of principal and interest, which may be at any bank or trust company within or without the State.

(f) All such bonds shall bear the manual or facsimile signature of the chairman or vice-chairman of the Board, attested by the secretary or treasurer thereof, and bear the official seal of the Corporation. Any coupons attached thereto shall bear the facsimile signature of the secretary or treasurer of the Board. When bonds or coupons bear the manual or facsimile signature of an officer of the Corporation, such signature shall remain valid and effective for its original intent and purpose notwithstanding that prior to delivery the signer thereof may have ceased to hold the office indicated.

(g) All bonds issued under the provisions of this Act shall have and are hereby declared to have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments under the laws of this State. Such bonds are hereby declared to be issued for an essential public and governmental purpose, and said bonds and the interest thereon shall be exempt from all taxation within the State, when issued by and payable only and directly by the Corporation, and not by a lessee of the property of the Corporation.

(h) All bonds of the Corporation shall be sold by public competitive bidding at par plus accrued interest to the date of delivery; provided, however, the Corporation may obligate itself to deliver any given issue of bonds to the purchasers thereof within any reasonable period of time not exceeding ninety days after the date of sale, and may pay as a penalty for delay in such delivery such reasonable sums not exceeding interest at four and one-half percent (4%%) as may be agreed upon in advance in writing with the purchaser or purchasers of such bonds. All bonds of the Corporation shall be advertised and offered prior to the fixing of the interest rates thereon, and bids thereon shall be competitive as to the interest rate offered by each bidder; provided, on any issue the Corporation may make rules limiting the number of divisions into which the bonds of various maturity dates may be divided, and the number and percentage spreads of the different interest rates which may be bid to apply such divisions of the bond and provided further, the Corporation may require reasonable security for the per formance of the contract of purchase of any successful bidder at any public competitive bidding held. The advertising of bond issues of the

1802

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Corporation and invitations to bid shall be as customarily done in the handling of governmental bond issues and Section 14 (b) as to these matters shall not necessarily apply. The Corporation may negotiate the sale of its bonds to the Federal Government.

(i) The proceeds of such bonds shall be used solely for the payment of the cost of establishment of construction of a rapid transit project or rapid transit projects. If the proceeds of a bond issue are not suffi cient to cover the cost thereof, unless otherwise provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds, or in any trust in denture pertaining thereto, additional bonds may in like manner, and after the same procedure and authority, be issued to provide the amount of the deficiency, Unless otherwise provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds, or in any trust indenture pertaining thereto, such additional bonds shall be deemed to be of the same issue and to be paid from the same fund, without preference or priority, as 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 were originally issued, the surplus shall be paid into such reserve fund as may be provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in any trust indenture pertaining thereto or at the specific direction of the Board may be used for any other similar rapid transit project or projects.

(j) Prior to the preparation of definitive bonds the Board may issue interim receipts, interim certificates, or temporary bonds exchange able for definitive bonds upon the issuance of the latter.

(k) In the discretion of the Board any issue of such revenue bonds may be secured by a trust indenture by and between the Corporation and a corporate trustee, which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company within or without the State. Such trust indenture may pledge or assign fares, fees, rentals, charges, revenues and earnings of the Corporation, including the proceeds derived from the sale of any surplus property of the Corporation. Either the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or any trust indenture pertaining thereto may contain reasonable provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bond holders, including covenants concerning the duties of the Corporation in relation to the acquisition of property, the construction of the project, the maintenance, operation, repair and insurance of the property, and the custody, safe guarding and application of all monies, including the proceeds derived from the sale of property of the Corporation, both real and personal, and may also provide that any project shall be contracted and paid for under the supervision and approval of consulting engineers or architects employed or designated by the Board and satisfactory to the original purchasers of the bonds issued therefor, and may also require that the security given by contractors and by any depository of the proceeds of the bonds or revenues or other monies be satisfactory to such purchasers, and may also contain provisions concerning the con ditions, if any, upon which additional revenue bonds may be issued. It shall be lawful for any national bank with trust powers to furnish such indemnifying bonds or pledge such securities as may be required by the Board. Such indenture may set forth the rights and remedies of the

MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1965

1803

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 Board may deem reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders. All expenses incurred in carrying out such trust indenture may be treated as a part of the cost of acquisition, maintenance, operation and repair of the project affected by such indenture.

(1) The Board shall, in the resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds or in any trust indenture pertaining thereto, provide for the payment of the proceeds of the sale of the bonds to any national bank with trust powers, which shall act as trustee of such funds and shall hold and apply the same to the purposes hereof, subject to such regu lations as this Act and such resolution or trust indenture may provide.

(m) The fares, fees, rentals, charges, revenues and earnings of the Corporation, monies derived from the sale of any surplus property of the Corporation, and gifts, grants, and contributions from any source whatever, unless otherwise pledged and allocated, may be pledged and allocated by the Board to the payment of the principal of and interest on bonds of the Corporation as the resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds, or any trust instrument pertaining thereto, may provide, and such funds so pledged, from whatever source received, including funds received from one or more or all sources, shall be set aside at regular intervals as may be provided in the resolution or trust indenture, into a special debt retirement fund which shall be pledged to and charged with the payments of (1) the interest on such bonds as such interest shall fall due, (2) the principal of the bonds as same shall fall due, (3) the customary charges of paying agent or agents for paying principal and interest, and (4) any premium upon bonds retired by call or purchase as hereinafter provided. The use and disposition of such special debt retirement fund shall be subject to such regulations as may be provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in any trust indenture, pertaining thereto, but, except as may otherwise be provided in such resolution or trust indenture, such fund shall be for the benefit of all bonds without distinction or priority of one over another. Subject to the provisions of the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in any trust indenture, surplus monies in the special debt retirement fund may be applied to the purchase or redemp tion of bonds and any such bonds so purchased or redeemed shall forthwith be cancelled and shall not again be issued.

(o) The Board is hereby authorized to provide by Resolution for the issue of refunding bonds of the Corporation for the purpose of re funding any bonds issued under the provisions of this Act and then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon. The issuance of such refunding bonds, the maturities and all other details thereof, the rights of the holders thereof and the duties of the Corporation in respect to the same, shall be governed by the foregoing provisions of this Act insofar as the same may be applicable. But no county shall be liable therefor unless expressly approved at a bond election of such county held for such purposes.

(p) Bonds of the Corporation shall be confirmed and validated, insofar as applicable, in accordance with the procedure of the Revenue Bond Law (Ga. Laws 1937, p. 761, et. seq. as amended). The petition for validation shall also make party defendant to such action any munici pality, county, authority, subdivision or instrumentality of the State of Georgia, if subject to be sued, which has contracted with the Corporation for the services and facilities of the project for which bonds are to be issued and sought to be validated after approval by the electors thereof at an election called for such purpose, and such municipality, county, authority, subdivision, or instrumentality shall be required to show cause, if any, why such contract or contracts and the terms and condi tions thereof should not be inquired into by the court and the validity of the terms thereof to be determined and the contract or contracts adjudicated as security for the payment of any such bonds of the Cor poration. The judgment of validation shall be final and conclusive with respect to such bonds, and the security therefor, against the Corpora tion, and against any municipality, county, authority, subdivision or instrumentality of the State of Georgia, if a party to the validation proceedings, contracting with the Corporation, provided said county or municipality has authorized issuance of such bonds by a general election held for such purpose.

(q) While any of the bonds issued by the Corporation remain out standing, the powers, duties or existence of said Corporation, or of its officers, employees or agents, shall not be diminished or impaired in any manner that will affect adversely the interest and the rights of the holders of such bonds, and no other entity, department, agency or authority will be created in the metropolitan area as defined herein which will compete with the Corporation to such an extent as to affect ad versely the interest and rights of the holders of such bonds. The pro visions of this Act shall be for the benefit of the Corporation and the holders of any such bonds, and upon the issuance of bonds under the provisions hereof, shall constitute a contract with the holders of such bonds by the Corporation.

Laws 1964, p. 261), as amended, regulating the conduct of officers, employees and agents of political subdivisions, municipal and other public corporations and other public organizations, shall be ap plicable to the conduct of its Board members, officers, employees and agents of the Corporation.

1812

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

ments in order to finance provision for a rapid transit system through the joint instrumentality of the Corporation. If such determination con templates a contractual obligation on the part of a local government to make payments to the Corporation over any period of time exceeding one year or a contractual obligation on the part of a local government to pay or obligate itself to pay for any part of said rapid transit system, the qualified voters shall first authorize such contract by an election before the governing authorities of any county in said metropolitan area shall be authorized to execute such contract.

(c) As a method of financing the participation required of it, in its entirety or any part thereof, under such a proposed rapid transit contract, a local government may not in any manner issue general obligation bonds and then pay over the proceeds thereof to the Corpora tion.

(d) A local government may not contract with the Corporation so that the Corporation may perform for such local government the afore said governmental function and obligate itself to pay on a periodic basis for the public transportation services and facilities contracted for, in cluding the payment of the principal of, and interest on, any obligations issued by the Corporation for the purpose of financing the cost of any rapid transit project except after a legally held election by the qualified voters of such local government approving the execution of such con tract.

(e) Whenever there is a proposed rapid transit contract to be ex ecuted between the Corporation and a local government under subsection (d), the local governing body shall call an election and shall submit to the qualified voters thereof, in a referendum as hereinafter provided, the question whether or not the local government should so obligate itself to the extent of the amounts involved therein, and for the term of years provided in said proposed contract.

(f) The procedure for holding the referendum called for in sub section (e) shall be as follows: The local governing body shall cause to be published in the newspaper having the largest circulation through out the territory of the local government involved, once each week for three weeks immediately preceding the week during which the referen dum is to be held, a notice in bold type to the electors thereof that on the day named therein an election will be held to determine the question whether or not the local government shall obligate itself to the Corpora tion to the extent of the dollar amount or amounts involved in the pro posed rapid transit contract. Such notice shall specify the extent of the total dollar amount or amounts involved under the proposed rapid transit contract, the rate of interest if any, and the term of years of said pro posed contract. Such special election shall be held at all the election districts or precincts within the territorial limits of the local government involved. The ballot submitting the question shall be in a form deter mined by the local governing body, and the form of the ballot shall be published as a part of the aforesaid notice. Each election held under the provisions of this subsection is hereby declared to be a county election and shall be governed by and conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Georgia Election Code. The board of registrars of each

MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1965

1813

county shall provide the necessary lists for conducting any such election held within its county. After consolidation, the ordinary shall transmit the returns of such an election to the local governing authority calling the election, or its delegate, who shall officially declare the result. The expense of such an election held within the territorial limits of any county shall be paid by the county.
(g) If a majority of those voting in said election vote in favor of the proposition submitted then the local governing body shall thereby be authorized to complete the execution of a rapid transit contract, or contracts, wherein the total dollar amounts thereof do not exceed the total dollar amounts involved in the proposition submitted, for the term voted. If a majority of those voting vote against said proposition sub mitted, then the local governing body shall not execute any contract with the Corporation.
Section 25. Severability. In the event any section, subsection, phrase, clause or sentence of this Act shall be declared unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsec tions, sentences, clauses or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect as if such part or parts of the Act had not been declared unconstitutional. The General Assembly hereby declares it would have enacted the remaining portions of the Act if it had known such part or parts hereof would be declared unconstitutional.
Section 26. This Act shall become effective when approved by the Governor.
Section 27. All laws or parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

A BILL

To be entitled an Act to provide for clearance by quiet title pro ceedings of defects in real estate titles; to prescribe the procedure connected therewith; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEOR GIA:

Section 1. Any person, which term shall include a corporation, partnership or other association, who claims an estate of freehold or future, or a present term of which at least five years are unexpired, including persons holding lands under tax deeds, in any land in this state, whether in the actual and peaceable possession thereof or not, and whether such land is vacant and unoccupied or not, may bring a proceeding in rem, against all the world to establish his title to such land and to determine all adverse claims thereto or to remove any particular cloud or clouds upon his title to such land, including an equity of redemption, which proceeding may be against all persons known or unknown who claim or might claim adversely to him, whether or not the petition discloses any known or possible claimants.

Section 2. The proceeding in rem shall be instituted by filing a petition in the Superior Court of the county wherein said land is situated, or if said land is situated in two or more counties, in either of said counties. The petition, which shall be verified by the petitioner, shall contain a particular description of the land to be involved in the proceeding, a specification of the petitioner's interest in said land, a statement as to whether such interest is based upon a written instru ment (whether same be a contract, deed, will or otherwise) or adverse possession or both, a description of all adverse claims of record or other wise known to the petitioner, the names and addresses, so far as known to the petitioner, of any possible adverse claimant, and, if the proceeding is brought to remove a particular cloud or clouds, a statement as to the grounds upon which it is sought to remove such cloud or clouds. There shall be filed therewith (1) a plat of survey of said land, (2) copy of the immediate instrument or instruments, if any, upon which the petitioner's interest is based, and (3) copy of the immediate instrument or instru ments of record or otherwise known to the petitioner, if any, upon which any person might base an interest in said land adverse to the petitioner. Upon the filing of such petition, the petitioner shall con temporaneously file with the clerk of said court a notice for record in the lis pendens docket pursuant to the provisions of an Act approved February 21, 1939 (Ga. Laws 1939, p. 345).

Section 3. The court shall upon receipt of the petition together with the plat and instruments filed therewith, submit the same to a special master who shall be a resident practicing attorney.
Section 4. The Master shall examine the petition, plat and all documents filed therewith and may require other evidence found by him to be needed including, but not limited to, an abstract of title, to be filed.

MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1965

1833

Section 5. Upon the filing of all evidence with him, the Master shall:

(a) determine who is entitled to notice;

(b) cause process to issue, directed to all known persons who are entitled to notice, and to all other persons known and unknown, whom it may concern; process shall be served upon known persons whose residence is unknown or is ascertainable by the sheriff or his deputy as provided by law. In all cases where service by publication is per mitted under the laws and where the defendant or other party shall reside out of this state or whose residence shall be unknown, and it shall be necessary to perfect service upon such person by publication upon the fact being made to appear to the judge or clerk of the court in which suit is pending, either in term or vacation, said judge or clerk may order service to be perfected by publication in the paper in which sheriffs' advertisements are printed, four times within the ensuing thirty days, publications to be at least seven days apart. Said published notice shall contain the name of the party's plaintiff and defendant with a caption setting forth the court, the character of the action, the date the action was filed, the date of the order for service by publica tion, and a notice directed and addressed to the party to be thus served, commanding him to be and appear at the court in which the action is pending within thirty days of the date of the order for service by publi cation and shall bear teste in the name of the judge and shall be signed by the clerk of said court. The date upon which the nonresident or party whose residence is unknown is called upon to appear shall be the ap pearance day of the case.

(c) Any adverse party shall be entitled to have at least thirty (30) days after completion of service to file any pleading he desires in the matter before the court.

(d) If, upon the filing of the petition or of the evidence required by him, the Master finds that there are persons under a disability, or minors, or persons not in being, unascertained or unknown who may have an interest, he shall appoint a disinterested person, in the nature of a guardian ad litem, who shall be served with copies of the notice prescribed, and who shall represent these interests.

Section 6. Upon reasonable notice to the parties, after proof of serving notice as required by the provisions of this Act has been filed, and after the appointment of the disinterested person as representative where required, the special Master shall have complete jurisdiction with in the scope of the pleadings to ascertain and determine the validity, nature or extent of petitioners title and all other interests in said land, or any part thereof, which may be adverse to the title claimed by the petitioner or to remove any particular cloud or clouds upon the title to said land to make a report of his findings to the Judge of said Court; provided, however, any party to this proceeding may demand a trial by a jury of any question of facts.

Section 7. Upon the receipt of the Master's report, or upon a jury verdict, the court shall issue a decree which shall be recorded in the

1834

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

office of the Clerk of the Superior Court of the county or counties wherein the land affected lies, and when recorded shall operate to bind the land affected according to the tenor thereof, and shall be conclusive upon, and against all persons named therein, known or unknown. A marginal reference to the recorded judgments and decree shall be entered upon any recorded instrument stated to be affected thereby.

Section 8. The Court shall fix a reasonable compensation, not less than $50.00, to be paid to the Master appointed hereunder, and shall fix the compensation to be paid to any representative, in the nature of a guardian ad litem, appointed hereunder. These fees are to be taxed in the discretion of the court as a part of the costs.

Section 9. At any time within six months from the entering of the final decree any person not previously a party who claims an interest in said land may intervene in which event the case shall be reopened as to that party as his rights adjudicated.

Section 10. Two or more persons having separate and distinct parcels of land in the same county and holding under the same source of title, or persons having separate and distinct interests in the same parcel or parcels, may join in a petition under this article against the same supposed claimants.

A petitioner may join in one petition separate causes of action, but if they cannot be conveniently disposed of together, the court may order separate trials.

Section 11. The purpose of this Act is to create a procedure for removing any cloud upon the title to land, including the equity of re demption by owners of land sold at tax sales, and for readily and con clusively establishing that certain named persons are the owners of all the interests in land defined by a decree entered in such proceeding, so that there shall be no occasion for land in this State to be unmarketable because of any uncertainty as to the owner of every interest therein.

Section 12. This Act shall be liberally construed.

Section 13. The remedy provided by this Act is intended to be cumulative and not exclusive.

Section 14. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEOR GIA:

Section 1. Code Title 34, relating to elections, is hereby amended by striking the period at the end of Code Section 34-102, relating to the application of the Georgia Election Code, and inserting in lieu there of the following:

"except as provided in Code Section 34-807.", so that when so amended Code Section 34-102 shall read as follows:

"Section 34-102. Application of Code.--This Code shall apply to any general or special election in this State to fill any federal, state or county office, and to any general or special primary to nominate candidates for any such office, and to any federal, state or county election or primary for any other purpose whatsoever; provided however it shall not apply to any municipal primary or election except as provided in Code Section 34-807."

Section 2. Said Code Title is further amended by inserting at the end of Subsection (c) of Code Section 34-629, relating to the right of the electors of the county to vote in the district containing the county courthouse, the following:

"The provisions of this Subsection shall not apply to an elector of any county of this State having a population of more than 50,000 according to the official United States Decennial Census of 1960 or any future such census.",

so that when so amended Subsection (c) of Code Section 34-629 shall read as follows:

"(c) An elector, who resides in an election district which does not contain the county courthouse and whose name appears upon the electors list for such district, shall be allowed to vote at the polling place of the district containing the county courthouse. In cases where there is a variation in the candidates or questions voted upon as between such districts and where the poll officers of the district containing the county courthouse do not possess paper ballots of the district of the elector's residence, a poll officer of the district containing the county courthouse shall, prior to furnishing such elector with a paper ballot mark out the name of each candi date and the statement of each question which the elector would not have been entitled to vote for had he voted in the district of his residence. The elector in voting such ballot shall be entitled to make a write-in vote for any candidate whose name is printed on the ballots of the election district of his residence, but not printed on the ballot furnished him. After the polls are closed, a poll officer of the district containing the county courthouse shall examine the electors list of the district of such elector's residence,

MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1965

1843

and if he finds that the elector has voted more than once in the primary or election, he shall report such information to the solici tor general. The provisions of this Subsection shall not apply to an elector of any county of this State having a population of more than 50,000 according to the official United States Decennial Cen sus of 1960 or any future such census."

Section 3. Said Code Title is further amended by striking in its entirety the last sentence of Code Section 34-806, relating to the conduct of special elections, and inserting in lieu thereof a new last sentence to read as follows:

"At least thirty days shall intervene between the call of a special election to fill a vacancy in public office and the holding of same.",

so that when so amended Code Section 34-806 shall read as follows:

"Section 34-806. Conduct of special elections.--Every special election shall be held and conducted in all respects in accordance with the provisions of this Code relating to general elections, and the provisions of this Code relating to general elections shall apply thereto in so far as practicable, and not inconsistent with any other provisions of this Code. All such special elections held at the time of a general election shall be conducted by the poll officers by the use of the same equipment and facilities, so far as practi cable, as are used for such general election. At least thirty days shall intervene between the call of a special election to fill a vacancy in public office and the holding of same."

Section 4. Said Code Title is further amended by inserting at the end of Code Chapter 34-8, relating to dates of primaries and elections, a new Code Section to be designated as Code Section 34-807, relating to bond elections, to read as follows:

"Section 34-807. Bond elections.-- (a) The governing authori ty of a county, municipality or political subdivision desiring to in cur bonded debt in accordance with the provisions of the State Constitution shall call a special election to be held on a certain day for the purpose of submitting to the electorate the question of whether such bonded debt shall be incurred. The governing au thority shall publish notice of such election once a week for a period of four weeks immediately preceding the day of the election in a newspaper in which the sheriff's advertisements for the county containing all or the largest part of the area of the county, munici pality or political subdivision involved. Such notice shall specify: (i) the date of the election and the question to be submitted to the electorate; and (ii) the principal amount of bonds to be issued, the purpose for which such bonds are to be issued, the interest rate or rates which such bonds are to bear and the amount of principal to be paid in each year during the life of such bonds; provided, however, that the governing authority, in lieu of speci fying the rate or rates of interest which such bonds are to bear, may specify in the notice that such bonds when issued will bear

1844

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

interest at a rate not exceeding a maximum per annum rate of interest as stated in the notice or that, in the event such bonds are to bear different rates of interest for different maturity dates, that none of such rates will exceed the maximum rate stated in the notice. Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the issuer from selling such bonds at a discount, even if in so doing the effective interest cost resulting therefrom would exceed the maximum per annum rate specified in the notice of the election.

"(b) The election shall be held at the polling place in each election district within the limits of the county, municipality or political subdivision involved, and shall be held by the same officers, in the same manner, and under the same laws, rules and regulations that elections for officers of such county, municipality or political subdivision are held, and, after consolidation, the returns shall be made to the governing authority calling the election who shall thereupon officially declare the result."

Section 5. Said Code Title is further amended by redesignating Subsection (b) of Code Section 34-1007, relating to the polling places and poll officers to be used in primaries, as Subsection (c) and by inserting a new Subsection (b) to read as follows:

"(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (a) above, a political party holding a runoff primary, may avoid supplying poll officers for each polling place used by the party in the pre ceding primary, by filing with the ordinary and board of registrars of each county involved at least five days prior to the runoff pri mary a written designation of each polling place the party desires to continue to use in the runoff primary; provided, however, that the party shall designate at least one polling place within such county. In the event such a designation is timely filed, the ordinary shall only equip the polling place or places so designated for use in the runoff primary and the party shall only supply poll officers for each such polling place. In instances where only one polling place is so designated within a county, the registrars shall furnish to the managers of such polling place the lists of electors eligible to vote in such runoff primary. In instances where two or more polling places are so designated within a county, the board of registrars shall divide the lists of electors eligible to vote in the runoff primary among the designated polling places in such a man ner as to promote the convenience of the electors consistent with the ability of the board of registrars to prepare the lists in time. The electors of an election district in which no polling place is designated for use in the runoff primary shall be allowed to vote at the desig nated polling place possessing the list on which their names ap pear under the same rules that would have governed if a polling place had been established in their district. In the absence of such a timely designation, the ordinary shall equip each polling place established in the preceding primary and the party shall supply poll officers for same."

Section 6. Said Code Title is further amended by striking Sub section (b) of Code Section 34-1010, relating to the number of signatures

MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1965

1845

required for the nomination of candidates by petition, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Subsection (b) to read as follows:

Section 7. Said Code Title is further amended by striking Sub section (c) of Code Section 34-1103, relating to the form of the official election ballot, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Sub section (c) to read as follows:

"(c) Immediately under the directions, the names of all candi dates, who have been nominated in accordance with the require ments of the Code, shall be printed on the ballot and the names of the candidates shall in all cases be arranged under the titles of the respective offices they are seeking. The names of candidates who are nominates of a political party shall be placed under the name of their party. The incumbency of a candidate seeking election to the public office he then holds shall be indicated on the ballot. The columns of political parties shall be printed on the ballot, beginning on the left side thereof, and shall be arranged from left to right in the descending order of the totals of votes cast for candidates of the political parties for Governor at the last gubernatorial elec tion. The columns of parties, having no candidate for Governor on the ballot at the last gubernatorial election, shall be arranged al phabetically, according to the party name, to the right of the columns of the parties so represented. The columns of political bodies shall be arranged alphabetically according to the body name, to the right of the party columns. The names of all independent candidates shall be printed on the ballot in a column or columns under the heading 'Independent', which shall be placed to the right of the political body columns. In the case of two or more independent candidates seeking the same office, their names shall be arranged under the title of the office in alphabetical order. The names of candidates seeking the same office shall be printed horizontally opposite one another in their respective columns and such columns shall be of sufficient length to permit such an arrangement. To the right of the independent column or columns, shall be printed a suf ficient blank column for the insertion of write-in votes. At the left of the name heading every column on the ballot and at the left of the name of every candidate thereon shall be a square of sufficient size for the convenient insertion of a cross (x) or check (V) mark."

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

a vote recorder shall preclude an elector from over-voting, in its en tirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Subsection (e) to read as follows:

"(e) When used in conjunction with a tabulating machine, it shall preclude the counting of votes for any candidate, or upon any question, for whom or upon which an elector is not entitled to vote, and shall preclude the counting of votes for more persons for any office than he is entitled to vote for, and shall preclude the count ing of votes for any candidate for the same office or upon any question more than once."

Section 9. Said Code Title is further amended by striking Sub sections (b) and (c) of Code Section 34-1222, relating to the form of ballot labels on vote recorders, in their entirety and inserting in lieu thereof new Subsections (b) and (c) to read as follows:

"(b) The arrangement of offices, names of candidates and questions upon the ballot labels shall conform as nearly as practi cable to the provisions of this Code for the arrangement of same on paper ballots. In the event that there are more candidates for any office than can be placed upon one page, the label shall be clearly marked to indicate that the names of candidates for the office are continued on the following page; provided, however, that such form may be varied in order to present a clear presentation of candidates and questions to the electors.

"(c) The form and arrangement of ballot labels shall be pre scribed by the Secretary of State and prepared by the superin tendent."

The ballot shall then be counted one by one, and a record made of the total number. Then the poll officers shall count the votes marked on the ballots and shall carefully enter each vote as read, and keep account of the same in ink on a sufficient number of tally papers, all of which shall be made at the same time. All ballots, after being removed from the box, shall be kept within the unob structed view of all persons in the voting room until replaced in the box. No person while handling the ballots shall have in his hand any pencil, pen, stamp or other means of marking or spoiling any ballot. The poll officers shall immediately proceed to canvass and compute the votes cast, and shall not adjourn or postpone the canvass or computation until it shall have been fully completed."

WHEREAS, the proposed Oconee Wildlife Refuge can be obtained by condemnation proceeding by the right of eminent domain of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service; and

WHEREAS, this eliminates the free choice of the landowners to sell or not to sell; and

WHEREAS, the economy of the Town of Toomsboro is geared to lumber and forest products which would be virtually eliminated by the acquisition of these lands which furnish the raw materials for this industry; and

WHEREAS, the mineral and mining development of the county is also being impaired by this acquisition; and

WHEREAS, the removal of this large block of land from the tax rolls of Wilkinson County could materially affect the county tax digest; and

WHEREAS, we can see no material justification for the expendi ture of large sums of money for acquisition of an area that would benefit few but adversely affect many in our local area.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that this body does hereby protest the establish ment of this unnecessary Federal project and urges each member of the Georgia Congressional Delegation to use their influence to acquaint the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service with the disadvantages of establishing such a project.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House is hereby authorized and directed to forward an appropriate copy of this Resolution to each member of the Georgia Congressional Delegation and to the Secretary of the U. S. Departments of Agriculture, Interior, and Commerce.

1937

WHEREAS, a report should be made to the General Assembly of Georgia relative to the legislation recommended; and

A RESOLUTION
Creating an interim legislative committee to study problems caused by the exemption of certain properties from ad valorem property tax; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the principal source of revenue of the municipalities and counties of this State is derived from ad valorem property taxes; and
WHEREAS, many public authorities which are instrumentalities of the State, and the State, by and through its various departments, bureaus and other agencies, own large tracts or parcels of land in this State valued at many millions of dollars; and

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

WHEREAS, said tracts or parcels of land and the improvements thereon are exempt from taxation; and

WHEREAS, notwithstanding the fact that the facilities owned by such instrumentalities and the State materially affect the economy of the citizens in the areas in which they are located, and the fact that such facilities are tax-exempt causes a hardship on the governmental administration of such municipalities and counties because of the ex emption from ad valorem taxes on such facilities; and

WHEREAS, the loss of such ad valorem taxes materially affects the administration of the public school systems in such areas; and

WHEREAS, the State should provide financial relief to the munici palities and counties in such impacted areas and provide some method of relieving the loss of said taxes.

SR 92. By Senator Kidd of the 25th and Senator Gillis of the 20th:
A RESOLUTION
Protesting the establishment of the Oconee Wildlife Refuge by the Federal Government; and for other purposes.

TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1965

1939

WHEREAS, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service has a proposed plan to acquire over 13,000 acres of land in Wilkinson and Baldwin counties for a preserve to be known as the Oconee Wildlife
Refuge; and

WHEREAS, this would remove from private and industrial use, thousands of acres of prime hardwood timherland and rich mineral land upon which hundreds of Georgia families depend for livelihood; and

WHEREAS, businesses dependent on this land and the timber thereon would be forced to liquidate, which would put hundreds of citizens on the unemployment rolls and result in a severe setback to the economy of this region; and

WHEREAS, the acquisition of this land by the federal government would remove all of it from the tax digests of the local governments involved, possibly necessitating a tax increase because of the resultant loss of tax revenues; and

WHEREAS, this project is not a needed project, but is only another example of federal bureaucracy in action.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that the members of this body hereby go on record as strongly protesting the proposed plan to create the Oconee Wildlife Refuge and the acquisition of more than 13,000 acres of prime timberland in Wilkinson and Baldwin counties by the federal govern ment.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the members of the Georgia congressional delegation are hereby requested and urged to take all possible steps to stop this proposed project and protect the right of private ownership of this land.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is hereby instructed to transmit a copy of this Resolution to each United States Senator from Georgia, and to each United States Repre sentative from Georgia.

A BILL

TO BE ENTITLED

An Act to amend Code Chapter 74-1 relating to the relationship of parent to child, so as to require certain persons to report any cases of cruel treatment of children which he notices in the examination of any such children; to provide for the contents and nature of report made by such persons; to provide that any person or persons, partnership, co partnership, firm, corporation, association, hospital or other entity participating in the making of a report or causing a report to be made or participating in any judicial proceeding or any other proceeding resulting therefrom, shall in so doing be immune from any liability, civil or criminal, that might otherwise be incurred or imposed, providing such participation shall be made in good faith; to prescribe the purposes therefor; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

Section 1. Code Chapter 74-1 relating to the relationship of parent to child is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof following Code Section 74-110, a new Code Section to be known as Section 74-111 to read as follows:

"74-111. (a) Reports by Physicians, other treating personnel, and Institutions. Any physician, including any doctor of medicine licensed to practice under Chapter 84-9 of the Code of Georgia of 1933, as amended, licensed osteopathic physician, intern, resident, public health nurse or welfare worker having cause to believe that a child under the age of twelve brought to him or coming before him for examination, care or treatment has had physical injury or injuries inflicted upon him other than by accidental means by a parent or caretaker, shall report or cause reports to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section; provided, however, that when the attendance of a physician with respect to a child is pursuant to the performance of services as a member of the staff of a hospital or similar institution he shall notify the person in charge of the institution or his designated delegate who shall report or cause reports to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section; and provided, further, that when an apparently abused child has been seen by a public health nurse or welfare worker, then said public health nurse or welfare worker shall report his or her observation to the County Health Officer or, if none, to any licensed physician who shall, after examination and if he concurs that the injuries were inflicted by other than accidental means, report or cause reports to be made in accordance with the provisions
of this Section.

"(b) Nature and Content of Report; to whom made. An oral report shall be made immediately by telephone or otherwise, and followed by a report in writing, to a child welfare agency providing protective services, or in the absence of such agency, to an appro priate police authority. Such reports shall contain the names and

2014

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,
addresses of the child and his parents or caretakers, if known, the child's age, the nature and extent of the child's injuries (including any evidence of previous injuries), and any other information that the reporting person believes might be helpful in establishing the cause of the injuries and the identity of the perpetrator.
"(c) Immunity from Liability. Any person or persons, partner ship, co-partnership, firm, corporation, association, hospital or other entity participating in the making of said report or causing said report to be made pursuant to the provisions of this Section or any other law, or participating in any judicial proceeding or any other proceeding resulting therefrom, shall in so doing be immune from any liability, civil or criminal, that might otherwise be incurred or imposed, providing such participation pursuant to this Section or any other law shall be made in good faith.
"(d) Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to provide for the protection of children whose health and welfare are adversely affected and further threatened by the conduct of those responsible for their care and protection. This is often manifest by the inflic tion, other than by accidental means, of physical injury requiring the attention of a physician. It is intended that the mandatory reporting of such cases by physicians, hospitals and institutions to appropriate police authority will cause the protective services of the State to be brought to bear on the situation in an effort to prevent further abuses, protect and enhance the welfare of these children, and preserve family life wherever possible. This Section shall be liberally construed so as to carry out the purposes thereof."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. This Act shall be known and may be cited as 'The Municipal Home Rule Act of 1965'.
Section 2. Creation, Dissolution, Merger, Boundary Changes. No municipality shall be incorporated, dissolved, merged or consolidated with any other municipality or municipal boundaries changed, except by local act of the General Assembly or by such methods as may be provided by general law.
Section 3. Home Rule for Municipalities.
(a) The governing authority of each municipality shall have legis lative power to adopt clearly reasonable ordinances, Resolutions or regulations relating to its property, affairs and local government for which no provision has been made by general law and which are not inconsistent with the Constitution or any charter provision applicable thereto. Any such charter provision shall remain in force and effect until amended or repealed as provided in Paragraph (b) of this Section. This, however, shall not restrict the authority of the General Assembly by general law to further define this power or to broaden, limit or other wise regulate the exercise thereof. The General Assembly shall not pass any local law to repeal, modify, or supersede any action taken by a

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1965

2125

municipal governing authority under this Section, except as authorized under Section 4 hereof.

(b) Except as provided in Section 4, a municipality may, as an incident of its home rule power, amend its charter by following either of the procedures hereinafter set forth.

1. Municipal charters may be amended by ordinances duly adopted at two regular consecutive meetings of the municipal governing authori ty not less than seven nor more than sixty days apart. A notice contain ing a synopsis of the proposed amendment shall be published in the official organ of the county of the legal situs of the municipality or in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality once a week for three weeks within a period of sixty days immediately preceding its final adoption. Such notice shall state that a copy of the proposed amendment is on file in the office of the clerk or the recording officer of the municipal governing authority and the office of the clerk of the superior court of the county of the legal situs of the municipality for the purpose of examination and inspection by the public. The recording officer of the municipal governing authority shall furnish anyone, upon written request, a copy of the proposed amendment. No amendment hereunder shall be valid to change or repeal an amendment adopted pursuant to a referendum as provided in Subparagraph 2 of this Para graph or to change or repeal a local act of the General Assembly ratified in a referendum as provided in Subparagraph 2 of this Paragraph or to change or repeal a local act of the General Assembly ratified in a referendum by the electors of such municipality unless at least twelve months have elapsed after such referendums. No amendment hereunder shall be valid if provision has been made therefor by general law.

2. Amendments to such charters or amendments to or repeals of such ordinances, Resolutions or regulations adopted pursuant to Para graph (a) hereof may be initiated by a petition filed with the governing authority of the municipality containing, in cases of municipalities with a population of 5,000 or less, the signatures of at least twenty-five per centum of the electors registered to vote in the last general municipal election; in cases of municipalities with a population of more than 5,000 but not more than 100,000, at least twenty per centum of the electors registered to vote in the last general municipal election; and in cases of a municipality with a population of more than 100,000, at least fifteen per centum of the electors registered to vote in the last general municipal election; which petition shall specifically set forth the exact language of the proposed amendment or repeal. The governing authority shall determine the validity of such petition within 60 days of its filing with the governing authority. In the event the governing authority determines that such petition is valid, it shall be the duty of such authority to issue the call for an election for the purpose of sub mitting such amendment or repeal to the registered electors of the municipality for their approval or rejection. Such call shall be issued not less than ten nor more than thirty days after the date of the filing of the petition. The governing authority shall set the date of such election for a day not less than sixty nor more than ninety days after the date of such filing. The governing authority shall cause a notice of the date of said election to be published in the official organ of the

If more than one-half of the votes cast on such question are for approval of the amendment or repeal it shall become of full force and effect, otherwise it shall be void and of no force and effect. The expense of such election shall be borne by the municipality and it shall be the duty of the governing authority to hold and conduct such election. Such election shall be held under the same laws and rules and regulations as govern special elections of the municipality, except as otherwise provided herein. It shall be the duty of the governing authority to canvass the returns and declare and certify the result of the election. It shall be the further duty of the governing authority to certify the result thereof to the Secretary of State. A referendum on any such amendment or repeal shall not be held more often than once each year. No amendment hereunder shall be valid if provision has been made therefor by general law.

In the event that the governing authority determines that such petition is not valid, it shall publish in explicit detail the reasons why such petition is not valid; provided, however, that in any proceeding in which the validity of the petition is at issue, the tribunal considering such issue shall not be limited by the reasons assigned. Such publication shall be in the official organ of the county of the legal situs of the municipality or in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality, in the week immediately following the date on which such petition is declared to be not valid.

(a) The power granted to municipalities in Paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 3 shall not be construed to extend to the following matters or any other matters which the General Assembly by general law has preempted or may hereafter preempt, but such matters shall be the subject of general law or the subject of local acts of the General Assembly to the extent that the enactment of such local acts is other wise permitted under the Constitution.

2158

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

A BILL

To be entitled an Act to amend an Act authorizing the governing authorities of municipalities and counties to establish planning commis sions, approved March 13, 1957 (Ga. Laws 1957, p. 420), as amended by an Act approved March 17, 1958 (Ga. Laws 1958, p. 169), an Act approved March 17, 1959 (Ga. Laws 1959, p. 335), and an Act approved March 17, 1960 (Ga. Laws 1960, p. 1037), so as to authorize any municipality or county to continue, create or retain its own local planning commission; to provide that any municipality or county may specify which powers granted shall be exercised by the local planning commis sion and also to joint planning commission; to change the provisions relating to existing laws; to provide that the powers and authority granted municipal, county, joint municipal-county planning commissions, and board of appeals shall be in addition to all other powers and authori ty such planning commissions and board of appeals now have or may later have under other laws; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1

An Act authorizing the governing authorities of municipalities and counties to establish planning commissions, approved March 13, 1957 (Ga. Laws 1957, p. 420), as amended by an Act approved March 17, 1958 (Ga. Laws 1958, p. 169), an Act approved March 17, 1959 (Ga. Laws 1959, p. 335), and an Act approved March 17, 1960 (Ga. Laws 1960, p. 1037), is hereby amended by inserting between the fifth and sixth sentences of Section 1 a new sentence to read as follows:

"The governing authority of any municipality or county that has participated or participates in creating a joint planning com mission may continue and may create or retain its own local plan ning commission whether under the authority of a private act, general enabling legislation, or other authority. Any county or municipality which has or which may create its own local planning commission and which also participates in a joint planning commis sion may specify in the respective Resolutions or ordinances which powers granted shall be exercised by the local planning commission and also the joint planning commission.",

so that when so amended Section 1 shall read as follows:

"Section 1. Planning Commissions: Creation and Appointment. The governing authority of each municipality in this State is authorized to create by ordinance a municipal planning commission. The governing authority of such county in this State is authorized to create by Resolution a county planning commission. Any two or more municipalities are authorized to create a joint planning commission. Any two or more counties are authorized to create a joint planning commission. Any one or more counties and any one or more municipalities in any one or more of these counties are

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1965

2159

authorized to create a joint planning commission. The governing authority of any municipality or county that has participated or participates in creating a joint planning commission may continue and may create or retain its own local planning commission whether under the authority of a private act, general enabling legislation, or other authority. Any county or municipality which has or which may create its own local planning commission and which also participates in a joint planning commission may specify in the respective Reso lutions or ordinances which powers granted shall be exercised by the local planning commission and also the joint planning commis sion. Wherever the terms, 'Municipal Planning Commission', 'County Planning Commission', or 'Municipal-County Planning Commission', are used hereinafter, they shall be construed to mean and shall in clude any planning commission established hereunder. The govern ing authorities of the political subdivision or subdivisions creating a planning commission shall select the name of the commission, but such name must include the term 'Planning Commission'. A planning commission shall be composed of members who shall be appointed by the governing authority or authorities of the political subdivision or subdivisions creating the commission. A majority of the members of a planning commission shall be persons who hold no other public office in the municipality or county from which they are appointed. Ex-officio members of the commission who hold public office shall serve on the commission during the time they hold such public office. Other members of the commission shall be appointed for over lapping terms of three, four or five years and shall serve until their successors are appointed. Original appointments may be made for a lesser number of years so that the terms of said members shall be staggered. The compensation of the members, if any, shall be determined by the governing authority or authorities of the political subdivision or subdivisions creating the commission. Any vacancy in the membership of a planning commission shall be filled for the unexpired term in the same manner as the original appoint ment. The governing authority or authorities of the political sub divisions creating the commission are hereby authorized to remove any member of the commission for cause after written notice and public hearing."

SECTION 2

Said Act is further amended by striking Section 27 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 27 to read as follows:

"Section 27. Effect on Existing Planning and Zoning Authori zation. This Act shall become effective upon its adoption by the gov erning authority of a municipality or a county, as the case might be. Any municipality which, prior to January 31, 1946, had the power and authority under its charter as originally granted or amended to engage in planning and zoning, as authorized by the Constitution of Georgia, and any municipality or county which now has the power and authority to engage in planning and zoning under the provisions of an Act relating to zoning and planning, approved January 31, 1946 (Ga. Laws 1946, p. 191), as amended, or under the provisions of any local or special Act, or under the provisions

2160

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

of the Constitution of Georgia may continue to operate under such law. All powers and authority granted by this Act to municipal and county and joint municipal-county planning commissions and boards of appeals shall be cumulative. Such powers and authority shall be in addition to all other powers and authority such planning commissions and boards of appeals now have or may later have under other laws.

"Any county Resolution or municipal ordinance legally enacted under the authority of any such statute or constitutional provision shall remain in force and effect after this Act becomes effective until the county or municipality has brought such Resolution or ordinance into conformity with the provisions of this Act. Provided, however, that after this Act becomes effective in any municipality or county, such Resolutions and ordinances shall be administered under the provisions of this Act and any amendment to any such county Resolution or municipal ordinance shall be made under the provisions of this Act."

SECTION 3

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

A RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to provide home rule for counties; to provide for the procedures connected therewith; to provide for the submission of this amendment for ratification or rejection; and for other purposes.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

Section 1. Article XV of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding a new Section to be designated "Section II" and to read as follows:
"SECTION II.

"Paragraph 1. Home Rule for Counties.
(a) The governing authority of each county shall have legisla tive power to adopt clearly reasonable ordinances, resolutions or regulations relating to its property, affairs and local government for which no provision has been made by general law and which is not inconsistent with this Constitution, or any local law applicable thereto. Any such local law shall remain in force and effect until amended or repealed as provided in Subparagraph (b). This, how ever, shall not restrict the authority of the General Assembly by general law to further define this power or to broaden, limit or otherwise regulate the exercise thereof. The General Assembly shall not pass any local law to repeal, modify or supersede any action taken by a county governing authority under this Section except as authorized under Subparagraph (c) hereof.

(b) Except as provided in Subparagraph (c), a county may, as an incident of its home rule power, amend or repeal the local acts applicable to its governing authority by following either of the procedures hereinafter set forth:
1. Such local acts may be amended or repealed by a resolution or ordinance duly adopted at two regular consecutive meetings of the county governing authority not less than seven nor more than sixty days apart. A notice containing a synopsis of the proposed amendment or repeal shall be published in the official county organ once a week for three weeks within a period of sixty days immedi ately preceding its final adoption. Such notice shall state that a copy of the proposed amendment or repeal is on file in the office of the clerk of the superior court of the county for the purpose of examination and inspection by the public. The Clerk of the Superior Court shall furnish anyone, upon written request, a copy of the proposed amendment or repeal. No amendment or repeal hereunder shall be valid to change or repeal an amendment adopted pur-

2240

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

suant to a referendum as provided in 2. of this Subparagraph or to change or repeal a local act of the General Assembly ratified in a referendum by the electors of such county unless at least twelve months have elapsed after such referendum. No amendment hereunder shall be valid if inconsistent with any provision of this Con stitution or if provision has been made therefor by general law.
2. Amendment to or repeals of such local acts or ordinances, resolutions or regulations adopted pursuant to Subparagraph (a) hereof may be initiated by a petition filed with the ordinary of the county containing the signatures of at least ten per centum of the electors of the county registered to vote in the last general election, which petition shall specifically set forth the exact lan guage of the proposed amendment or repeal. The ordinary shall determine the validity of such petition within 60 days of its beingfiled with the ordinary. In the event the ordinary determines that such petition is valid, it shall be his duty to issue the call for an election for the purpose of submitting such amendment or repeal to the registered electors of the county for their approval or re jection. Such call shall be issued not less than ten nor more than thirty days after the date of the filing of the petition. He shall set the date of such election for a day not less than sixty nor more than ninety days after the date of such filing. The ordinary shall cause a notice of the date of said election to be published in the official organ of the county once a week for three weeks immediately preceding such date. Said notice shall also contain a synopsis of the proposed amendment or repeal and shall state that a copy thereof is no file in the office of the ordinary of the county for the purpose of examination and inspection by the public. The ordi nary shall furnish anyone, upon written request, a copy of the proposed amendment or repeal. If more than one-half of the votes cast on such question are for approval of the amendment or repeal, it shall become of full force and effect, otherwise it shall be void and of no force and effect. The expense of such election shall be borne by the county and it shall be the duty of the ordinary to hold and conduct such election. Such election shall be held under the same laws and rules and regulations as govern special elections, except as otherwise provided herein. It shall be the duty of the ordinary to canvass the returns and declare and certify the result of the election. It shall be his further duty to certify the result thereof to the Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4 of this Section. A referendum on any such amend ment or repeal shall not be held more often than once each year. No amendment hereunder shall be valid if inconsistent with any provision of this Constitution or if provision has been made therefor by general law.

In the event that the ordinary determines that such petition was not valid, he shall cause to be published in explicit detail the reasons why such petition is not valid; provided, however, that in any proceeding in which the validity of the petition is at issue, the tribunal considering such issue shall not be limited by the reasons assigned. Such publication shall be in the official organ of the county in the week immediately following the date on which such petition is declared to be not valid.

Knight of Berrien Mitchell of Whitfield Bynum of Rabun

Committee of Conference on HB 568 recommends that HB 568 be amended as follows:

By inserting in the title immediately before the phrase "to provide for severability" the following:

"to include provisions relative to retirement, pensions, com pensation and the practice of law of Justices of the Supreme Court and Judges of the Court of Appeals and other matters relative thereto;".

By renumbering Sections 3 and 4 as Sections 4 and 5, respectively.

By adding a new section after Section 2 and before Section 4 to be known as Section 3 to read as follows:

"Section 3. (a) Every Justice of the Supreme Court and every Judge of the Court of Appeals shall retire upon reaching the age of seventy. Provided, however, any Justice or Judge during the term of office he is serving on April 1, 1965, shall not be required to retire at age seventy prior to the expiration of the term to which he has been elected at which time he shall retire, but he may elect to so so and shall receive the pension or compensation herein provided; provided further, however, any Justice or Judge serving on April 1, 1965, who is seventy years of age or more, and who within six months after April 1, 1965, elects to retire, may do so, in which case he shall receive as a pension the full compensation which he was then receiving for the balance of the term to which he was elected and thereafter he shall receive a pension of twothirds of that compensation.

"(b) Every Justice of the Supreme Court and every Judge of the Court of Appeals serving on April 1, 1965 may retire upon reaching the age of sixty-five and any Justice or Judge so retiring under this provision who has served at least ten years as a Justice

FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1965

2459

or Judge of the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals or any combination thereof, or who upon reaching the age of sixty-five has a combined service of fifteen years as Justice of the Supreme Court, Judge of the Court of Appeals, or Judge of the Superior Court, five of which must have been as Justice of the Supreme Court or Judge of the Court of Appeals, shall receive a pension or compensation which shall be not less than two-thirds of the com pensation received by him at the time of his retirment.

"(c) No such Justice of the Supreme Court or such Judge of the Court of Appeals receiving retirment or pension benefits hereunder shall be eligible to appointment to any emeritus position.

"(d) Any Justice of the Supreme Court or Judge of the Court of Appeals receiving any such compensation or pension shall not engage in the practice of law.

"(e) Any Justice of the Supreme Court and any Judge of the Court of Appeals who was serving as such on April 1, 1964, and who notified the Executive Secretary of the State Employees' Re tirement System that he desired to become a member of the Retire ment System shall not be eligible to be appointed to any emeritus postion. Provided, however, any such Justice or Judge shall have until May 1, 1965 to rescind such notification and withdraw any payments which he has made into said System, and once again become eligible to be appointed to an emeritus position, but any such Justice or Judge rescinding such notification shall not there after be eligible to become a member of said Retirement System. It is the intention of this paragraph that no Justice of the Supreme Court and no Judge of the Court of Appeals shall be eligible to be appointed to any emeritus position if he is also a member of the Retirement System, and that no such Justice or Judge shall be eligible to receive any benefits under the Retirement System if he chooses to retain his eligibility to be appointed to an emeritus position."

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE TO STUDY MAINTENANCE, UPKEEP AND CONDITIONS OF STATE PARKS PROPERTY IN NORTH GEORGIA
(House Resolution No. 558)

Mr. Speaker, your Committee to study maintenance, upkeep and conditions of State parks property in North Georgia wishes to submit the following report:

The Committee assembled at 11:00 a.m. at Red Top Mountain State Park near Cartersville on November 9tli, During the remainder of that day and the following four days we visited Cloudland Canyon State Park, Fort Mountain State Park, Amicaiola Falls State Park, Vog-el State Park, Unicoi State Park, Black Rock Mountain State Park, Bobby Brown State Park, Proposed Tugaloo State Park area, Elijah Clark State Park, Alexander H. Stephens State Park and Hard Labor Creek State Park.

The Committee wishes to state that the overall housekeeping appearance of the parks visited is very satisfactory, the attitude of the personnel is very good, the buildings in excellent condition and the general appearance of the parks is very good. The Committee finds that the superintendents of parks, without exception, are very devoted to their work, have the parks system at heart and are doing a good job. Many of the superintendents' wives are very active in helping carry out the duties of the park management.

We find that an unlimited amount of work is needed on every park by manual labor and much of this could be done by prison labor. We recommend increased cooperation between the Parks Department and the Department of Corrections in using additional prison labor as much as possible and so long as it does not interfere with private enterprise.

2502

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

We find many roads on the parks in need of grading as well as paving. Many dirt roads would be sufficient if kept up. We recommend increased co operation between the Highway Department and the Parks Department in paving, maintaining and improving the roads in the parks system.

The Committee found that the parks were lacking in highway advertising along the main highways leading to the parks throughout North Georgia. Many parks had absolutely no signs visible until arriving at park property. We recommend that directional signs and highway advertising be erected along all main highways near our parks throughout Georgia, thus enabling tourists and visitors to find (discover) our parks. We further recommend increased coopera tion betwen the Department of Industry and Trade and the Parks Department in better promoting our parks.

Many parks are lacking in playground equipment for our children. The Committee feels that additional equipment of this type will help to fully utilize the parks by family gatherings, school and church groups--especially during the off season.
The Committee recommends that a Reversionary Clause be attached to any agreement between the Parks Department (State of Georgia) and the Federal government in the developing of Unicoi State Park as in the plans of the University of Georgia and Dr. Hugh Masters with the $8 Million grant from the Federal government. We very definitely feel this park should be placed back in the Parks System of Georgia when this program is completed, terminated or abandoned.
We recommend that the Parks Department and State of Georgia secure all parks that are obtained under a lease agreement for a period of 50 years or more so that full advantage can be taken of bond programs, Federal grants, matching funds, etc.--this is not the case under shorter term leased properties and has kept some parks from being able to receive any aid under the present $2,300,000 Authority Bond Program now in use.

We commend the Game and Pish Department and the Forestry Department for their cooperation with the Parks Department in promoting their individual programs to the best interest of the people of Georgia and recommend that the Game and Fish Department take over full operation of stocking and fertilizing all lakes on the parks property.

We find that overnight tent camping on state parks is growing at an un heard-of rate and that our parks are in need of many more comfort stations and tent camp areas. We recommend that special emphasis be placed on ex panding these facilities. More and more families are taking their vacations traveling by tent camping and according to statistics every tent camping family spends $7 per day while in the area.

FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1965

2503

We find that some State parks have historical significance but no recreation or playground areas, and, therefore, are not adaptable to the parks program or theme. We feel these parks are more adaptable to the historical theme of the State of Georgia and not the theme of the State parks. We recommend that all parks with only museums and exhibits, without proper acreage and natural terrain be turned over to the Georgia Historical Commission where their use and promotion can be taken full advantage of for the best benefit of the people of Georgia.

We find that on some occasions, the Parks Department has in the past taken in small acreage tracts not adaptable to parks use. We recommend that no more properties be taken in and designated as State parks unless the acreage is sufficient and the natural outlay of the land is such that the property can be developed into a State park. We feel any property taken should have avail able water, timber and scenic beauty for further development.

We find that master plans for each park has been set up under the guidance of the Director, Horace Caldwell, for the first time since the Parks Department came into being, that for the first time our parks have a long range plan, a theme and are now ready to go about a long overdue expansion program as soon as funds are available. We commend Horace Caldwell, Henry Struble, John Gordon, Jeff Naugle and the other personnel of the Parks Department for their devoted efforts preparing the long range plan.

Members of this Committee realize that during their tenure as members of the General Assembly of Georgia, the Parks Department has been a political football and a scapegoal as compared with the other divisions of state govern ment.

It is realized by this Committee that the Parks Department and the parks themselves are in their infant stage so far as their development is concerned. It is noted that we have 38 thousand acres worth several millions of dollars suitable for parks, but it is unusable so far as the citizens of this State are concerned. This Committee believes that if additional funds are made available for capital improvments through bond issue, the parks will become self-sustaining and all borrowed money will be liquidated.

It is the thought of this Committee that as soon as possible and as soon as feasible, this Department should be a self-sustaining organization and that we will give to the people of this State reasonable service at a reasonable cost.

It is not our intention to use this money but for one reason and one reason alone, and that is to see that our resources on hand are fully developed for the people of our State.

2504

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

It is with these thoughts and in this spirit that we recommend an additional $2.3 million bond issue for capital improvements to be placed on those parks that are owned outright by the State of Georgia or those parks on which wa can ob tain a 50-year lease.

Mr. Speaker, we find the North Georgia State Parks in good order; we feel that much has to be done to these parks if we are to continue to serve the recreational needs of our citizens. We would like to again thank each member of the Parks Department for their efforts, the counties, cities and communities in which we visited for their warm receptions, the local press and radio in the many communities we visilted for their publicity.

Mr. Speaker, we offer this as your Committee to Inspect North Georgia State Parks.
Respectfully submitted,

To the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Speaker of the House, and members of the General Assembly:

Pursuant to Senator Resolution 64 adopted in the 1963 regular session, the Governor's Commission for Scientific Research and Development has been active and has carried out its mission.

It is a pleasure to submit herewith the final report of the Commission. Additional copies have been deposited with the Office of Legislative Counsel and will be available at your request.
Sincerely,
H. M. Conway, Jr.

REPORT OF THE GOVERNOR'S COMMISSION FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The Governor's Commission for Scientific Research and Development (here after identified GCSRD) is grateful for the cooperation extended during its period of operation by many individuals and organizations. No attempt will be made to list the more than 200 individuals who have contributed ideas either by correspondence or through attendance at public hearings or other sessions.

The Commission does wish, however, to recognize the particularly valuable assistance rendered by the Office of Legislative Counsel. The Commission also wishes to thank the following institutions and organizations which were hosts for one or more meetings of the Commission and which opened their research facilities to inspection by Commission members: Georgia Institute of Technology, The University of Georgia, Georgia State College, Emory University, the U. S. Communicable Disease Center, Lockheed-Georgia Company, Scientific Atlanta, Southern Bell Telephone, and Conway Research, Inc.

BACKGROUND FOR THIS REPORT
Georgia has lagged behind most other states in the advancement of scientific programs, the support of research institutions, and the development of tech nological enterprises. (See Appendix, Exhibits "A" and "B"). This fact is particularly distressing in view of the great opportunities which are unfolding in major science programs at the national level. The abundance of evidence that Georgia is indeed failing to grasp these important new opportunities prompted the introduction of Senate Resolution No. 64 (See Appendix, Exhibit "C") in 1963 to create this study commission.

Section 3 of S.R. 64 charged this Commission as follows:

"The Commission shall conduct studies, research, investigations, and surveys into measures for strengthening Georgia's scientific programs in order to promote more rapid development of technological industries, a greater role for the State in the national Space program, and expansion of basic scientific research in the State. Specifically, the Commission shall recommend steps necessary for Georgia universities and non-profit institu tions to expand contract scientific research activities; to increase Georgia's capabilities for participating in Federally-sponsored scientific research pro grams; to increase Georgia's potential for taking part in similar programs financed by public and private foundations; to encourage the growth of scientific research centers in Georgia; and to promote the establishment of one or more scientific 'research parks' in Georgia. The Commission shall review the activities of those State agencies in the field of science and re lated activities, such as the Georgia Aeronautics and Space Administration, and shall make recommendations aimed at increasing the effectiveness of their programs."

2506

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

It is significant that S.R. 64 specified that every member of the study commission should be "... a graduate of a recognized college or university with a degree in a scientific field . . ." and ". . . shall be currently interested in scientific research programs in Georgia". The group named by the Governor included representatives from state and private universities and research in stitutions, private industry, and public affairs, as follows:

Dr. James A. Bain, Division of Basic Health Sciences, Emory University, Atlanta.

Dr. Frederick Bellinger, Engineering Experiment Station, Georgia In stitute of Technology, Atlanta. (At time of appointment, President of the Georgia Academy of Science.)

Dr. James L. Goddard, Chief of the U. S. Public Health Service Commun icable Disease Center, was also originally named to be a member of the Com mission, but it was found that he could not accept the state appointment because of his federal appointment. He did, however, consult with the Commission and attended several meetings. At its first meeting, the Governor's Commission on

FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1965

2507

Scientific Research and Development (hereafter identified in this report as GCSRD) elected Mr. Conway as Chairman, Dr. Boyd as Vice-Chairman, and Dr. Trawick as Secretary.

Immediately upon its activation, the Commission gave careful consideration to the choice of an outside consulting organization to gather data and make detailed analyses. A number of groups were invited to submit proposals; and presentations were made by several of the nation's leading organizations, in cluding Stanford Research Institute, Arthur D. Little, Inc., Spindletop Research, and Midwest Research Institute.

Aft?r weighing all factors the Commission selected Spindleton Research to handle staff studies and investigations. Key consultant working with Spindletop was Dr. Tesse Hobson, an outstanding expert on scientific research programs. Dr. Hobson was the first director of the Stanford Research Institute and led the group during its spectacular growth over a ten-year period.

Having contracted with Spindletop, the Commission directed the consulting group to make an objective study and present its recommendations. The Com mission did not attempt to influence Spindletop in its conclusions, recognizing the inherent value of an impartial, external opinion regarding matters close to some Commission members.

Spindletop's findings were contained in a report entitled: "A Plan to Strengthen and Expand Georgia's Scientific Resources", dated December 16, 1963. This report was promptly released with a covering letter which made it clear that the GCSRD did not necessarily approve all findings. Copies were furnished to the Governor, the Lt. Governor, all members of the General As sembly, and to some 200 other individuals and organizations which had expressed interest.

Because of the substantial interest in the Spindletop report and the farreaching implications of certain findings and recommendations, the Commission scheduled a public hearing in the State Senate chamber on January 21, 1964. In attendance were some 80 representatives of Scientific and professional organiza tions, universities, institutions and business firms.

Governor Sanders, Lt. Governor Geer, and numerous other speakers echoed the need for a stronger state science program. Basic needs suggested by the Spindletop study were confirmed, but there was disagreement regarding some of the specific actions recommended. In particular, representatives of Georgia Tech objected to the Spindletop proposals regarding handling of client-oriented re search.

Following this hearing, the GCSRD decided to give priority to the question of creating a state science agency as proposed by Spindletop and to defer for further study the more involved questions of client-oriented research and re search parks. The Commission discussed the need for a new state science agency at several sessions and agreed upon specific recommendations which were em-

2508

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

bodied in Senate Bill 283 (See Appendix, Exhibit "D"). This bill was passed in the 1964 regular session.

S. B. 283 created a Georgia Science and Technology Commission (hereafter identified in this report as GSTC) to serve as a central coordinating unit for a variety of activities. At the same time, the Georgia Nuclear Advisory Com mission was abolished. The Georgia Aeronautics and Space Administration had previously been abolished, and with the termination of the GCSRD in January, 1965. the state will have just one state science agency. The consolidation of activities in one agency with clear-cut responsibility was one of the objectives of the GCSRD and has thus been achieved.
It may also be noted that the GCSRD has supported an effort to identify the Atlanta area as a logical location for bio-medical engineering programs which might be established by federal agencies and other groups. Under the auspices of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, a special report entitled "Bio technology--Atlanta" has been prepared by Emory University in collaboration with Georgia Tech and the U. S. Communicable Disease Center. The Chairman of the GCSRD served as Chairman of the editorial review board for this study.
Further, the GCSRD has supported the effort to attract a major NASA electronics facility to Georgia. While this effort was unsuccessful, the experi ence was useful in demonstrating the need for a stronger state science program. To improve NASA's familiarity with Georgia research facilities and resources, a NASA team visited several state institutions. On another occasion the head of the NASA office of research grants was flown by the GCSRD Chairman from Washington to Athens where he spoke at The University of Georgia's summer commencement exercises. These activities serve to illustrate the variety of programs and functions which have been scanned by the GCSRD in order to carry out its mission.
MAJOR FINDINGS CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT
The foregoing remarks refer to previous actions of the GCSRD, most of which are a matter of record. The following discussion covers both new topics and new development with respect to those topics already discussed.
I.
THE GEORGIA SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COMMISSION
Reference is made to the initial charge to the GCSRD to investigate "measures for strengthening Georgia's scientific programs" and to the recom mendation made to the GCSRD by the Spindletop organization that "there needs to be an organization established on a continuing basis which will have as its primary objective the strengthening and expanding of Georgia's scientific resources". The latter recommendation was unanimously concurred in by the GCSRD, and as a result of the Commission's further recommendation the Gen eral Assembly passed Senate Bill 283 in March, 1964, which created the GSTC. According to Section 5 of this bill: "The Commission shall review and evaluate

FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1965

2509

the status of the scientific and technological resources and capabilities of the State of Georgia. It shall advise the Governor, the General Assembly and public agencies and institutions relative to scientific research and development matters, particularly as such matters affect the entire State. The Commission shall pro vide information, planning, evaluation, and recommendations for action to the Governor, the General Assembly, other agencies of the State, and private agencies within the State." The bill further provides for the appointment by the GSTC of a Scientific Advisory Committee ond a full-time working staff. Thus, a body has been created to succeed the GCSRD on a continuing basis. As actually created this Commission differs from the body envisaged by the Spidletop report and the original recommendations to the General Assembly by the GCSRD in that the language of Senate Bill 283 limited the new Commission to advisory functions only, whereas operational functions had been embodied in the original recommendations of the GCSRD.

Whether or not a purely advisory Commission will be sufficient to over come the limitations which all see in the State's posture in scientific research and development is problematical. With dynamic leadership and a professional staff the GSTC might be able to stimulate the existing agencies of the State and the General Assembly in such a way as to raise the State out of its research and development doldrums. The effectiveness of the GSTC should be watched closely to determine whether or not it should press for a more operational func tion.

Functions of the Georgia Science and Technology Commission:

The GCSRD fully endorses the broad, almost unlimited, responsibility in herent in the general charge as stated in Section 5 of S. B. 283 creating the GSTC. In its advisory capacity the GSTC should establish and maintain con tact with all segments of labor and management; legal, political and financial agencies; medicine, education and industry; in short, all elements contributing to the overall economy and welfare of the people of Georgia. It is visualized that the GSTC should be a central core around which all elements engaged in the development of science and technology would serve and be served.

The GCSRD urges that the members of the new Commission take the initia tive in carrying out the mandate of the General Assembly and interpret that mandate as broadly as is possible. The GCSRD recommends to the attention of the GSTC the following specific areas which it believes deserve immediate at tention, study, and action:

1. The assembly and dissemination of information concerning Georgia's re sources, capabilities, and needs in science and technology as a basis for future endeavors. Specific details are given in p. 8-6 and 8-7 of the Spindletop Report. (See Appendix, Exhibit "E").

2. The encouragement of the youth of the State to elect science and tech nology based professions as their future careers. The suggestions of the Spindletop Report that this be done through the Georgia Academy of Science, Inc., merits thoughtful consideration.

2510

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

3. The stimulation of the interest and education of the people of the State at large, civic leaders, the Legislature, the Executive Branch, and other influential bodies in science and technology as the major hope for pre eminence for this State.

4. A study of the records and recommendations of the Georgia Nuclear Advisory Commission, which was abolished by the Act which created the GSTC, in order to prepare for a role in matters formerly coming under the purview of that agency. It is recognized that certain licensing and control functions have been assigned to the Department of Public Health.

5. Consider appropriate means for the stimulation of accomplishment in science and technology. As adopted, S. B. 283 does not contain any pro visions for direct financial support of scientific research and development as visualized in the Spindletop Report. A program of State Awards for high achievement in science and technology, with candidates judged solely on the basis of accomplishments which benefit the State, is indeed a desirable program and one that does not conflict with the interest of any other agency.

6. The preparation of an imaginative and broad-scope study of the major scientific and technological programs desired for the State of Georgia together with a program as to how to expand existing activities and obtain new ones for the State. Some suggestions are: transportation, environmental health, oceanography, waste disposal, cryochemistry, min eral-geophysics, biomedical engineering, and water utilization.

7. The implementation of the recommendations in the science area of the Governor's Commission to Improve Education.

Implemenation of the Functions of the Georgia Science and Technology Commission:

The GCSRD believes that the provisions of S. B. 283 should be carried out with a minimum of delay because they are essential to the successful functioning of the new Commission. The election of permanent officers and an Executive Board, appointment of the Scientific Advisory Committee, and assembly of the Commission in frequent and regular meetings should be undertaken at once.

The GCSRD believes that the key to the successful functioning of the new GSTC is the appointment of a Director as authorized in Section 4 of S. B. 283. This person should be a truly recognized scientist of administrative ability and his employment should not be handicapped by lack of realism regarding salary. Such a Director should be appointed immediately and begin to assemble a staff. GSTC Budget:

At present the GSTC is operating on a small allocation of funds made available by the Governor. If the new agency is to be effective, it should receive a substantial annual operating fund via the next appropriations bill adoptsd by the General Assembly.

FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1965

2511

If Georgia seriously expects the GSTC to contribute significantly to im provement of the State's competitive position, an initial budget on the order of $250,000 is realistic. This figure is modest by comparison with the annual budget of the $1 million reported to have been provided for the new North Caro lina Science and Technology Commission.

II.

RESEARCH PARKS
The term "research park" has been used to describe a variety of sites de signed to accommodate research and development activities in an attractive en vironment. Research parks may also contain manufacturing operations, par ticularly if these operations are based on new developments in science and tech nology. The park may then be called an industrial research park.

The principle objectives of a research park are:
1. To attract science-oriented industry. 2. To attract government research nad development laboratories. 3. To provide the kind of environment, as well as facilities, that will help
attract and hold competent research scientists and engineers.

A well-planned research park should begin with a strong nucleus of research facilities and staff. Otherwise, there will be no firm foundation on which to build and the chances of success in accomplishing its objectives would appear slim. The strong nucleus of a research park may be a university laboratory, a government laboratory, a center of information on science and technology, an applied research institute, or other facilities. It also appears that an industry dependent upon satellite laboratories and services might be the nucleus or major attractive force for the development of a research park.

A recent survey (See Appendix, Exhibit "F") reveals more than fifty re search parks throughout the United States. Areas which have such facilities enjoy an obvious competitive advantage in attracting new technological enter prises.

The research park adjacent to The University of Georgia in Athens is a good example of a university-related park. Some of the graduate programs and research activities at The University of Georgia are closely related to the work of laboratories in the research park. The potential of the City of Athens for attracting research installations and science-oriented industry has been increased to a considerable extent by the University Research Park.

2512

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

It is disappointing and frustrating to report that the Atlanta metropolitan area still does not have a research park, even though many well-qualified ob servers have repeatedly pointed up this need and opportunity. The GCSRD has been informed of a number of proposals and plans designed to provide a research park in the Atlanta area, but, as yet, no successful plan has been put forward.

Several real estate developers and private property owners have proposed plans, but their proposals have lacked the essential support of a central "core" of research facilities and activities. The DeKalb County Commission offered substantial financial support in the form of planning, streets, and utilities. At least one major foundation with large funds resources expressed interest to the GCSRD.

The Arthur D. Little report on "Georgia Tech: Impetus to Economic Growth" recommends that Georgia Tech participate in the development of an industrial research park in the Atlanta area. This proposed Georgia Tech Industrial Research Park would be developed on a site of approximately 500 acres suitable for research and pilot plant, or manufacturing operations that are oriented toward science or technology. The park would be developed as a physical entity conforming to very high, specifically prescribed, architectural and land use standards. The park would operate under a tax-free foundation with a clear majority of the trustees from the administration, faculty and other interested elements of the Georgia Tech community. The foundation would not participate actively in the development and sale of real estate. This would be accomplished through contract with a developer who would preside over the development of the property and its day-to-day management. The foregoing recommendations of the Arthur D. Little report deserve careful study.

The GCSRD has studied other research parks enough to recognize that there is no precise formula for success. Outstanding projects have been carried out through various arrangements between public and private interests. The GCSRD believes that regardless of the exact plan, Georgia Tech should play a key role in the development of a research park in the Atlanta area. To achieve optimum results, all interested institutions, such as Emory University and Georgia State College, should be encouraged to participate.
It is the opinion of the GCSRD that suffiicent interest and support exists in the Atlanta area to establish a very successful and important research park. The problems seems to lie in getting all interested parties together and obtaining agreement on a common course of action. To be fully successful, the proposed park should involve the best effort and support of the state, state institutions such as Georgia Tech, private institution, and private business firms.
Specifically, it is recommended that the new GSTC carry on a continuing study of Georgia's needs for research parks, their location, and their develop ment. The GSTC can and should use its facilities to bring interested parties together and promote plans of action at the earliest possible date.

III.

CLIENT-ORIENTED RESEARCH

One of the most diffcult sutdy areas explored by the GCSRD was the ques tion of strengthening Georgia's facilities for "client-oriented" research. This type of research, as the name implies, is conducted by research institutions for outside sponsors, such as federal agencies and private business firms.

A large volume of client-oriented research in an area contributes to the development of that area in a variety of ways. Such facilities promote the ex pansion of existing industrial firms by developing new products and produc tion processes under contract. They provide employment for scientific personnel and keep them available for problem-solving work. They frequently contribute to the "spin-off" of research ventures into new, fast-growing industries in the area.

The GCSRD found that Georgia's facilities for client-oriented research need to be strengthaned substantially. The principal asset at present is the Engineer ing Experiment Station at Georgia Tech. This facility contracts with a variety of clients through the Georgia Tech Research Institute.

Unfortunately, the rate of expansion of research programs at the Engi neering Experiment Station has been disappointing in recent years. At a time when national science programs and industrial research and development activi ties have mushroomed, the volume at Tech has failed to enjoy similar growth.

The GCSRD recognizes the necessity for the Engineering Experiment Station to be closely allied to the academic activities of Georgia Tech while at the same time performing service as the major client-oriented research agency in the State. This dual role needs further study to resolve the desirable future course for the Experiment Station so as to satisfy these two requirements.

The Spindletop study took note of this problem and proposed a rather drastic solution--the placing of the Engineering Experiment Station and other State facilities in a new agency or corporation known as "Georgia Research Services". A number of reasons were given to support this recommendation.

Members of the GCSRD studied this proposal carefully and a mail ballot of members was taken. By a margin of one vote the members opposed creation of Georgia Research Services. Generally those members of the GCSRD who are staff members of State institutions questioned the move, while GCSRD members from independent organizations favored creation of Georgia Research Services.

The GCSRD also studied the possibility of separating the Engineering Ex periment Station from Georgia Tech's academic control, as discussed in the

2514

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

Spindletop report and in the previously mentioned Arthur D. Little study made for the Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation. The members of the GCSRD agreed that a complete separation is undesirable, but expressed considerable support for greater independence for the research and development unit.

Specifically, the GCSRD recommends that the GSTC, the Board of Regents, and the administration at Georgia Tech explore a new status for the Engineering Experiment Station which would make it more effective.
This unit should be encouraged to increase its research activity from the present level of approximately $5 million to $20 million annually over the next six years, and the State should provide the initial investment to make this pos sible. With an aggressive sales program to support the excellent reputation Tech now enjoys, attractive research contracts can be obtained from federal agencies. Depreciation allowances and contract fees should be able to provide additional funds for further growth.

The GCSRD believes there is an urgent need for action with respect to this recommendation. However, it should be emphasized that there is no intention to minimize the importance of The University of Georgia or any other state in stitution. This Commission is concerned with "strengthening Georgia's scientific programs in order to promote more rapid development of technological industries, a greater role for the State in the national space program, and expansion of basic scientific research in the State". Georgia Tech, being the technical school of the State, requires the most immediate attention.

The GCSRD recommends that each university critically review its organiza tion and management of present research activities and make necssary changes to streamline its operation.

The GCSRD encourages a good balance between academic and applied re search. Client-oriented research can provide broader experience and training for future entrepreneurs capable of forming new research and development type organizations. State research institutions should avoid competition with private research organizations and, in fact, should encourage the establishment of new research and development enterprises and industries in Georgia.

The GCSRD supports the plan of the Board of Regents to employ a nationally known scientist-administrator to assist and coordinate the research activities at State Institutions. The GCSRD feels that the responsibility of this position needs to be clearly defined and that the work will be closely coordinated with that of the Georgia Science and Technology Commission. The GCSRD also strongly urges that no expense be spared in employing the most prominent scientific leader ob tainable and that salary supplements from private industry be obtained to make it possible to obtain a properly qualified person.

IV.

RELATION OP EDUCATION TO THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRY

Throughout the studies conducted by the GCSRD, the members were constantly reminded of the close relationship between high-quality education and the success ful development research and development industries. The GCSRD specifically endorses the recommendations of the Governor's Commission on education, and particularly emphasizes the need to improve the scientific training programs in all school systems including the science and engineering programs within the University System, leading to the production of a significantly larger number of qualified graduate and postgraduate engineers and scientists.

Research organizations and technical industries are primarily attracted to, locate in, and are born in regions of high concentration of engineers, scientists, and skilled technicians. A large percentage of Georgia's technical graduates are forced to leave the state to find challenging employment opportunities; conse quently, simultaneous programs to increase research and development activities in Georgia must be undertaken.

Continued improvement in faculty salaries and facilities will be required to attract and hold nationally recognized scientists and educators. Faculty members must be encouraged to conduct research programs and present papers in addi tion to their teaching responsibilities. The stature of a graduate school and con sequently the ability to attract outstanding students depends primarily on the type and excellence of this research program.

Outstanding Georgia students are attracted to out-of-state schools because of attractive scholarships, fellowships, and employment opportunities. Improved scholarship programs are necessary to attract these students to state universities. An active program of establishing additional scholarships and fellowships from private industry, the National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, and other agencies should be encouraged.

At present, out-of-state students pay higher tuition than in-state students. A program whereby a percentage of the difference between instate and out-of-state tuition be refunded for each year a student resides in Georgia after graduation would aid in attracting more graduate students and holding them after gradua tion. Consideration should also be given to providing that persons who are bona fide employees of firms or institutions located in Georgia should be deemed resi dents of Georgia for the purpose of determining tuition fees.

MISCELLANEOUS FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Tax Incentives for Research and Development:

It was suggested to the GCSRD that Georgia offer tax incentives, such as rapid depreciation, to industrial firms which would locate research laboratories in the State. Such a move would undoubtedly be of some benefit in attracting labora tories, but use of tax incentives is controversial. The GCSRD makes no recommen dation, leaving this matter to the judgment of the General ssembly.

Science Committees in General Assembly:
Early in 1964 the GCSRD recommended that each house of the Georgia General Assembly establish a standing committee on scientific affairs. The Senate subsequently created a five-member committee on Scientific Research, but the House did not act. It is recommended that a suitable House Committee be estab lished and that both the Senate and House groups devote continuing attention o the State's needs and opportunities in science.

Liaison with Federal Science Programs:
On February 3-4, 1964, a State Science Conference was held in Washington under the auspices of the Secretary of Commerce. This meeting was held for the purpose of determining the status of State science programs and was attended by representatives of more than thirty states. The Chairman of the GCSRD repre sented Georgia at the request of the Governor. It is recommended that the new GSTC maintain close contact with this activity which affords an insight into federal programs of interest to Georgia.

It is also urged that the new GSTC keep in close contact with the Georgia congressional delegation regarding new and expanding federal science activities. The GCSRD has been aided by Senators Russell and Talmadge and by several members of Congress. Congressman Charles Weltner displayed his interest by appearing before the study commission recently. Congressman John Davis is in a particularly advantageous position as member of the House Astronautics Subcommittee.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT

Exhibit "G" of the Appendix shows an accounting for the funds allocated to the GCSRD. It will be noted that the whole budget was not used. At the first meeting the members agreed to serve without compensation for expenses or otherwise which affected substantial savings for the State during the two years the GCSRD was in operation.

SCIENCE INFORMATION OFFICE*

The function of the Science Information Program would be to collect and

2526

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

maintain information on Georgia's scientists, on research projects being under taken in the state, 011 special scientific facilities and equipment available in the State, and on the activities of the state's science-oriented companies. The Science Information office would be the primary source for those seeking in formation about Georgia's scientific resources, and also those in Georgia seeking information about scientific activities in other states and in the Federal govern ment.

The Science Information Office would encourage and support the dissem ination of scientific information to industry wichin the state. It would also have responsibility for preparing brochures and reports summarizing Georgia's scien tific resources for use in the promotional and industrial development activities of state agencies and chambers of commerce.

A directory of facilities and equipment would make it possible for a research engineer or scientist in industry to determine the location and availability of specialized equipment that might be required for a particular project. There is some possibility that this service could be expanded to include operation of a scientific equipment exchange for pooling certain special pieces of equipment.

It is estimated that the cost of operating the science information program, including funds for direct support of library and information services to indus try, would be approximately $180,000 per year. * Source: The Spindletop Report, pages 8-6, 8-7.

LEGISLATIVE APPORTIONMENT: A REVIEW OP DEVELOPMENTS
IN THE STATES
Since the U. S. Supreme Court's decision in Baker v. Carr, legislative ap portionment has been an issue of immediate concern in most of the states. This memorandum reviews the main issues and developnrnts leading up to that

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

decision, and from then to the present. In 1946 the U. S. Supreme Court handed down its opinion in Colegrove v. Green, an Illinois congressional districting case. Subsequent developments fall naturally into several discernable periods, cul minating in the apportionment decisions of June 15, 1964. The structure of this memorandum is in four main parts:

I. Legislative Apportionment Before Baker v. Carr.

II. Legislative Apportionment: Baker v. Carr to the June 15, 1964, Decisions.

III. The U. S. Supreme Court Decisions: June 15, 1964.
IV. Legislative Apportionment.- A Summary of State Action June 15, 1964 -September 15, 1964

Part I reviews developments in a period when most courts, following Colgrove, held legislative apportionment cases nonjusticiable; and the decision in Baker v. Carr which reversed this position. Part II is divided into two sections. The first reviews court and legislative response to the decision in Baker in the first nine months after it was handed down. A table: "Reapportionment in the States: March - December, 1962," provides a graphic representation of the va riety of initial activity. The second section provides a summary over-view of developments during the entire twenty-seven month period between Baker and the June 15 decisions. This treatment is made possible by the fact that develop ments in the early period represent, generally, the kinds and extent of action that would be taken during the whole period. A second table: "Status of Legis lative Apportionment Developments, June 14, 1964" lists reapportionments and pending apportionment suits on the eve of the June 15 decisions. Part III dis cusses the June 15 decisions.

A full summary of apportionment developments from June, 1960 to June, 1964, will be found in Legislative Apportionment in the States (Chicago: The Council of State Governments, RM-370, 1964). Parft IV offers a state by state summary of subsequent apportionment action in the states to September 15, 1964. Due to the rapidity with which new developments are occurring, no effort has been made to tabulate activity since the June 15 decisions.

I. Legislative Apportionment Before Baker v. Carr
On March 26, 1962, the U.S. Supreme Court remanded a Tennessee appor tionment case, Baker v. Carr, 1 back to Federal District Court for further con sideration on its merits. The decision came at the end of a long line of cases in both state and federal courts; ended the application of an earlier Supreme Court decision: Colegrove v. Green, 328 U.S. 549 (1946) as a precedent in legis lative apportionment cases; and provided a clear answer to several specific ques tions rising out of earlier litigation.

These questions fell into four main categories: (1) Jurisdiction. Do the courts have jurisdiction in cases affecting apportionment or districting of legisla tive bodies? (2) Justiciability. If the courts do have jurisdiction, should they

exercise it? Is the case appropriate for judicial consideration? (3) Standing. Does the plaintiff have a right which is enforceable at law? Does he have standing to bring suit under the law? (4) Effective remedy. Presuming the first three, is there a remedy available to the court which will actually bring plaintiff relief?

In practice, questions of jurisdiction and justiciability were often handled as one; and both, in turn, were heavily dependent upon whether the court felt it had an effective remedy available. The underlying question was political as well as legal, involving the nature of the federal system and the separation of powers. Legislative apportionment is a legislative function. At issue was whether the courts would be invading the functions of a coordinate branch of the government in entertaining apportionment cases. Presuming that a court were to invalidate a legislative act in this area, what affirmative relief could it grant beyond its declaratory judgment?
In 1946, the U. S. Supreme Court handed down what was, until Baker v. Carr, very nearly the ruling case in apportionment suits: Colegrove v. Green, 328 U.S. 549. Colegrove originated as a suit to have an Illinois congressional districting act declared unconstitutional. The Federal District Court had dis missed the case, and the Supreme Court affirmed the lower court decision on several grounds, including nonjusticiability. In the words of Justice Frankfurter, speaking for the majority, the Court had not intervened:
. . . because due regard for the effective working of our govern ment revealed this issue to be of a peculiarly political nature and therefore not meet for judicial determination. 2
Referring to Colegrove in his dissenting opinion in Baker v. Carr, Frank furter spoke of the Court's recognition of a "class of controversies which do not lend themselves to judicial standards and judicial remedies." 3 The effect of Colegrove v. Green was to declare that congressional districting cases were "political questions," and as such nonjusticiable: (1) because districting was a function fundamentally legislative, and that judicial intervention would violate the separation of powers principle, (2) because the question of what constitutes a proper districting is not amenable to evaluation by judicial standards, and (3) though the Court might find a districting statute unconstitutional, the nature of the issue did not lend itself to effective judicial remedies. Although Colegrove was a congressional districting rather than a legislative apportionment case, on the question of justiciability it came to serve as precedent in apportionment suits.
A review of apportionment cases prior to Baiter v Carr does not disclose uniformity of approach, or even a firm consensus. Federal District Courts moved in both directions from the Supreme Court's decision in Colegrove,* although one case, Maaraw v. Donovan. 159 F. Supp^_9(U (Minnesota, 1958) was signifi cant as being the first to suggest that a federal court might find a constitutional directive drawn from the 14th Amendment applicable to state legislative appor tionment.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

State Supreme Courts had in a number of cases, taken jurisdiction, declared statutes unconstitutional, and even fashioned relief. 5 In a number of other cases, however, and especially following Colegrove, state courts became reluctant to take jurisdiction, or consider apportionment cases on their merits. 6
Relief, however, had only extended to granting orders that further elec tions be held pursuant to earlier apportionment statutes, or writs of mandamus directed at local apportionment officials. Attorney General v. Suffolk County Apportionment Commissioners, 224 Mass. 598, 113 N.E. 581 (1916) was the first of several "Suffolk Cases" in which the court issued a write of mandamus to the County Commissioners requiring them to reapportion. In Fergus v. Marks, 321 111. 510, 152 N.E. 557 (1926), the Illinois Supreme Court cited the division of powers between the three branches of government as reason for not instituting mandamus proceedings against the legislature. Jones v. Freeman, 193 Okla. 554, 561; 146 P. 2d 564 (1943), is one of several cases in which state courts have explicitly denied having the power to reapportion by decree. In Brown v. Saunders, 166 S.E. 105 (Virginia, 1932), a congressional districting case, the court ordered an election at-large after invalidating a state congres sional districting statute.
The relatively frequent willingness of state courts to consider apportion ment suits before Colegrove may be, among other things, because state courts were able to act under specific provisions of their state constitutions.
A significant exception to this pattern was the 1960 New Jersey case Asbury Park Press v. Woolley, 33 N. J. 1, 161 A. 2d 705; the first case follow ing the Colegrove decision in which a state Supreme Court, dealing specifically with the "political thicket" question, found an apportionment suit justiciable and went on to declare the existing apportionment statute unconstitutional.
With the handing down of the U. S. Supreme Court's decision in Baker v. Carr, an answer was provided for some of the main questions rising out of prior litigation, and Colegrove v. Green ceased to have force as a precedent in state legislative apportionment cases. (Its application to congressional dis tricting cases was subsequently removed by Wesberry v. Sanders, 376 U.S. 1 (1964.) In Baker the Court held: (1) that federal courts have jurisdiction of the subject matter, (2) that apportionment cases are justiciable, and (3) that plaintiffs may have standing to challenge legislative apportionment acts under the 14th Amendment of the Federal Constitution.

Concerning the existence of judicial standards applicable to legislative apportionment, and the availability of effective remedies, the Court contented itself with the observation that it had "no doubt the District Court will be able to fashion relief if violations of constitutional rights are found."7

Justice Douglas, in a concurring opinion,8 remarked that "the justiciability of the present claims being established, any relief accorded can be fashioned in the light of well-known principles of equity." These, he felt, could be followed in dealing with issues raised in some of the earlier cases, that declara tory judgment might invalidate legislatures elected under unconstitutional apportionment statutes and the public business transacted by them, and that the courts lacked means of providing effective relief once declaratory judgment had been granted. 0
//. Legislative Apportionment: Baker v. Carr to the June 15, 1964, Decisions
For the purpose of this memorandum the twenty-seven months between Baker v. Carr and the June 15 decisions may be divided into two periods: the initial nine months, in which the pattern of court, legislative, and voter action first clearly emerges; and the subsequent year and a half, in which there is a good deal of additional apportionment action, but none significantly different from what has already occurred. Issues and developments in the first period are reviewed, and also presented in tabular form to illustrate the variety of responses in the states to Baker v. Carr. The second period is not treated individually, but is included in a summary over-view of the whole twentyseven months. A concluding table gives the status of apportionments and pending apportionment cases in the states, on the eve of the June 15 decisions.
A. Legislative Apportionment After Baker v. Carr: The First Nine Months
After Baker v. Carr, questions of jurisdiction, justiciability, and standing ceased to be at issue. In the litigation which followed, however, two new questions arose: (1) What criteria should the courts use to determine the constitutionality of state apportionment plans? What standards did the 14th Amendment require? (2) If it is determined that a particular apportionment statute or state constitutional provision violates the requirements of the 14th Amendment, what action should the courts take? What relief might they fashion?
In the nine months following Baker v. Carr, from March 26 the the end of 1962, the pattern of court and legislative response to the high court's opinion began to emerge. While the full press of litigation and legislative enactment did not come until 1963 and early 1964 (during the new court and legislative sessions) there was apportionment action in twenty-seven states during this early period. Precisely because of the more limited scale on which developments took place in these nine months, what were already, and would continue to be, the main lines of development in apportionment litigation and legislative action are clearly defined. 10 For a state by state summary of apportionment action in this psriod see the tabulation on pages 10 and 11.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Court Action

During this period state and federal courts handed down decisions in apportionment suits in twenty-five states. In four, the existing apportionment was upheld; in four more, the court did not determine the constitutionality of the apportionment plan, but retained jurisdiction; in a ninth state, suit was dismissed on a procedural point. In sixteen other states, however, declaratory judgment was granted invalidating existing apportionment plans, or new apportionment legislation.

Determining constitutional standards. In judging the constitutionality of state apportionment plans the courts had to consider three separate sets of criteria: (1) criteria: for measuring the representativeness of any given apportionment plan, (2) criteria for determining to what extent non-population factors were constitutionally permissible in apportioning state legislatures, and (3) criteria for determining at what point deviation from a straight population standard resulted in "invidious" discrimination.

(1) There are several common methods of measuring representativeness: to compare the population of the largest and the smallest legislative district, the comparative value of a vote in the largest and smallest district, the percentage of population deviation from an "average" district, and the smallest percentage of the population which could theoretically elect a majority of a legislative house. Although there has been some criticism of each of these methods, and several alternative methods have been suggested, the courts have frequently referred to them in their decisions. 11

(2) Determining just what standard the 14th Amendment required, however, presented more of a problem. The central question was how far a state legi slature might exercise its discretion in including non-population factors in apportioning legislative districts, and which of these factors were constitu tionally acceptable. In a number of states apportionment cases were decided on the basis of state constitutional issues, or other points, without touching the question of federal constitutional standards. In at least thirteen of the twenty-five, however, such standards were suggested or applied.

In two states, during these first months, the court's interpretation of the equal protection clause looked towards requiring apportionment of both houses of a state legislature on a straight population basis. 12 In two other states the court required only that a state apportionment plan be "rational." 13 In a fifth state, the court held that the states could, and

Clem, "Measuring Legislative Malapportionment: In Search of a Better Yardstick," Midwest Journal of Political Science, Vol. VII, No. 2 (May, 1963; Arthur L. Goldberg, "The Statistics of Malapportionment," Yale Law Journal, Vol. 72, No. 1 (November, 1962) ; and the sources cited therein.

The courts may have relied on Justice Clark's concurring opinion in Baker v Carr as an indication of the high court's support of the "rationality" standard.

should, follow the "federal analogy"; one house based on population, the other at least partly based on non-population factors. 14 In another, the court held the "federal analogy" inapplicable to state legislative apportionment. 15 In still another state the court made a pioneering effort to establish both sets of contitutional standards, and concluded that he population disparity within one house of a legislature would not be invidiously discriminatory if it did not exceed the disparity "that exists as against any state in the most recent electoral college allocation." 16

Eleven of the thirteen courts which considered the question of standards agreed on one point: that some rational deviation from the population standard was constitutionally permissible. 17 Some of the non-population factors which were mentioned by the courts as constitutionally acceptable were: historical basis in state or federal experience, compactness and contiguity of territory, geography, political sub-divisions, and community of interest. Several courts also felt that the availability of a political remedy, such as referendum pro visions in the state constitution, should be considered in determining whether the courts would intervene.

(3) When it came to determining the point at which population dis parities between districts became invidious, however, there was less certainty. In several cases an attempt was made to establish mathematical criteria. The Michigan Supreme Court, which seemed to require that both houses of the legislature be apportioned on a straight population basis, felt that no legislative should have (at the very most) more than double the population of another. The Rhode Island Supreme Court held that "the dilution of the vote of the majority of electors to one-fourth of that enjoyed by others" was "so unjust as to be invidiously discriminatory," 18 and also suggested the two to one ratio. The Federal District Court's standard in Georgia has already been mentioned. For the most part the response of state and federal courts to the necessity for determining the constitutional standards was marked with un certainty. 19

Fashioning relief. Although state and federal courts in sixteen states granted declaratory judgment invalidating existing or newly adopted apportion ment plan, the kinds and extent of subsequent court action varied widely. In five states direct relief was granted by the court, including a court promulgated temporary apportionment in one state, 20 an election at-large order (subse-

quently stayed) in another, and reversion to an earlier basis of apportionment in a third. In three states the court ordered reapportionment of the legislature by a set date, while in six others the court set a time limit for further legislative action without actually ordering reapportionment. In still five other states the courts retained jurisdiction pending further legislative action, without actually ordering reapportionment. In three states the court warned that it would reapportion by decree in the absence of legislative action.

These various methods of proceeding represent the major approaches which would continue to be employed by the courts in 1963 and 1964. In many cases two or more of these approaches were used in conjunction, and this too would continue to be the case. No meaningful difference in the kinds and extent of relief granted by state courts and federal courts is apparent.

Legislative and Voter Action

Some form of legislative action was taken in eleven states in the nine months following Baker v. Carr, and intiative measures were presented to the voters in five others. In eight of the states the legislature was called into special session to consider reapportionment plans. In six states the voters de feated initiative measures or legislatively sponsored proposed amendments to the state constitution. In Colorado they chose between two competing initiative measures.

By the end of 1962 at least one house of the legislature had been reapportioned by legislative or voter action in seven states. In five states these were intended as regular apportionments; in two others, as temporary reapportionments.

Most of the new apportionment plans moved in the direction of greater population equality between districts. Two of the "regular" apportionment plans, however, did not. In Colorado the voters chose a "little federal system" over a plan to apportion both houses on a straight population basis. In Nebraska the voters approved, and the legislature implemented, a constitutional amendment adding a twenty per cent area factor to the formula for apportion ing the state's unicameral legislature.

As was true of court action in this period, the various forms of legislative activity which took place between Baker and the end of 1962 were typical of those which would occur in most of the states in the next year and a half.

20 A temporary reapportionment was promulgated by the Federal District Court in Alabama. The court's plan was composed of parts of two legislative enact ments which it had previously invalidated. It was the first case in which state legislative apportionment was accomplished by judicial decree, rather than the regular apportionment process.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

Apportionment activity in the states, already extensive hy the end of 1962, continued to increase in scope and tempo during 1963 and the first half of 1964. In the twenty-seven states already involved, additional suits were filed in state and federal courts, and state legislatures continued to grapple with the task of reapportioning. In fourteen additional states similar action was commenced. (Only nine states did not become closely concerned with reappor tionment, and all of these had reapportioned at least one house of the legislature since 1959; most of them in 1961 and 1962.) Apportionment developments in 1963 and the first half of 1964 are not treated in detail. The next section, however, provides a summary over-view of activity for the entire period between Baker v. Carr and June 15, 1964.

B. From Baker v. Carr to the June 15 Decisions: An Over-View

In the period between Baker v. Carr and the June 15 decisions twentyeight states reapportioned at least one house of the legislature: twenty-four reapportioned the lower house, nineteen reapportioned the upper house, and sixteen reapportioned both. In all but three of these states apportionment was accomplished by the regular apportionment process. In Alabama, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin reapportionment was accomplished by judicial decree. In addition to regular sessions, legislatures in twenty states held at least one special session to consider reapportionment. Voters in seventeen states went to the polls to vote on initiative measures or proposed constitutional amendments. In Michigan the voters approved a new constitution.

Despite the extent of apportionment activity in the states, no legislative or judicial approaches significantly different from those developed in the first months following Baker v. Carr emerged. And although the general trend of reapportionments accomplished between Baker and June 15, was towards greater population equality between districts, there was no clear consensus as to what the basis of apportionment in a bicameral state legislature ought to be, or what standards were required by the 14th Amendment.

In most of the states the basis for apportioning one house of the legislature differed from the basis for apportioning the other. In some instances the weight of the apportionment, as a whole, was towards population; with one house based on population alone, and the other on both population and area. In others, the weight was towards area. A number of states sought to balance these factors, either by apportioning both houses on a population and area basis, or by apportioning one house on population alone, and the other on area alone. In only a few states were both houses apportioned on a straight popu lation basis. 21

Opinions handed down in state and federal courts, during this period, varied widely. Decisions ranged from acceptance of "rational" apportionment plans, emphasizing area considerations, to requirements that both houses be apportioned on a straight population basis. Where the courts spoke directly concerning the "federal analogy" many, but by no means all, had accepted plans apportioning only one house on a population basis, with the other based on area, or population and area.

21 Among them: Minnesota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

In several cases the courts hesitated to invalidate apportionment statutes and constitutional provisions without clearer criteria from the U. S. Supreme Court; and although apportionment by the court was posed as an alternative in a number of states, the courts generally have been reluctant to undertake that task. As a rule they appeared to have been trying to give state legislatures time in which to perform the apportionment process themselves, and to avoid immediate implementation of court orders where not to do so would interfere with the orderly holding of primary and general elections. In several states, action by the voters in approving initiative measures and new constitutional provisions were important considerations in arriving at final decisions.

Action by the voters has also differed from state to state. In some cases the voters approved plans requiring only one house of the state legislature to be apportioned on a population basis, in others they defeated such plans. Voter action in this area did raise one question, however: could voter action in approv ing an apportionment plan be taken into consideration by the courts in deciding whether that plan met the requirements of the 14th Amendment?

Towards the spring of 1964 the tempo of apportionment activity began to slow. A number of apportionment cases had been accepted on appeal by the U. S. Supreme Court, and the lower courts, legislators, and potential litigants paused to await the high court's decisions, which they hoped would clarify the question of constitutional standards. On the eve of the Supreme Court's decisions apportionment cases were pending in thrity-one states. Fifteen of the thirty-one were appeals to the Supreme Court, itself. The following table represents the status of apportionments and pending apportionment cases, just prior to the June 15 decisions. 22

T Temporary apportionment plan.
L Apportioned by the state legislature.
F Apportioned by the Federal District Court.
S Apportioned by the State Supreme Court.
FS Apportioned by both the Federal District and the State Supreme Court.
A Case appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court.
(1) At-large election of the lower house, pursuant to provisions of the state constitution, was ordered by the State Supreme Court in the absence of agreement on an apportionment plan by a special apportionment commission.
(2) A new state constitution, approved by the voters, altered the basis of legislative apportionment. When the state Legislative Apportionment Com mission was unable to agree on a plan for implementing the new provisions, responsibility for choosing a plan devolved upon the state Supreme Court, which made a tentative choice pending the U. S. Supreme Court's decision in a Michigan case being heard on appeal.

III. The U. S. Supreme Court Decisions: June 15, 1964
On June 15, 1964, the U. S. Supreme Court handed down its decisions in eight apportionment cases from six states: Alabama, Colorado, Delaware, Maryland, New York and Virginia. In two previous cases, one invalidating a state primary act, and the other invalidating the apportionment of a state's congressional districts, the Court had laid down an equal population rule. 23 In both cases, however, the issue before the Court was distinguished from that of legislative apportionment. On the eve of the June 15 decisions the question was: would the Court apply the same rule to the apportionment of both houses of a state legislature?
Approaching the subject by way of the "right to vote" cases, the majority24 held that:
.. .as a basic constitutional standard, the Equal Protection Clause requires that the seats in both houses of a bicameral state legislature must be apportioned on a population basis.
The Court noted that mathematical exactness was a "practical impossibility" and that a state might "legitimately desire" to consider "insuring some voice to political subdivisions, as political subdivisions," but denied that history or area alone, or consideration of "economic or other sorts of group interests, are permissible factors in attempting to justify disparities from population based representation." Only 'so long as the divergences from a strict population standard are based on legitimate considerations incident to the effectuation of
23 Gray v. Sanders, 372 U.S. 368 (1963); Wesberry v. Sanders, 371 U.S. 1 (1964).
24Justice Harlan dissented in all eight cases; Justices Clark and Stewart both dissented in the cases from Colorado and New York.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2547

a rational state policy [are] some deviations from the equal-population principle.. .constitutionally permissible..."

The Court declined to lay down more specifice standards for evaluating state apportionment plans, however. Noting that "what is marginally per missible in one state may be unsatisfactory in another, depending on the particular circumstances of the case," the Court left the development of such standards to the lower courts.

Also left to the lower courts was the question of remedies to be employed, the Supreme Court recognizing that "remedial technique in this new and developing area of the law will probably often differ with the circumstances of the challenged apportionment and a variety of local conditions."

Allowance was made for the fact that, though it would be the unusual case in which a lower court permitted an apportionment plan which it had invalidat ed to serve through another election, "under certain circumstances, such as where an impending election is imminent and a state's election machinery is already in progress," the lower court might stay the effective date of its decision until after that election.

In the Colorado case the Court held that voter approval of an apportionment plan was of no force and effect in determining the constitutionality of that plan. 25 The voters of Colorado had approved an initiative measure establishing a "little federal plan" of apportionment in preference to another initiative measure which would have apportioned both houses on a straight population basis. In the opinion of the Court, however:

An individual's constitutionality protected right to cast an equally weighted vote cannot be denied even by a vote of a majority of a State's electorate, if the apportionment scheme adopted by the voters fails to measure up to the requirements of the Equal Pro tection Clause.

On June 22, in summary decisions in cases from nine additional states, 21' the Supreme Court applied the same criteria, and remanded the cases back to the lower courts for further action.

The main effect of the June 15 decisions was to establish that the 14th Amendment requires both houses of a state legislature to be apportioned "as nearly of equal population as is practicable," notwithstanding the outcome of any state-wide referendum to the contrary. The Court also indicated that some deviation from the population standard might be permissible, depending upon specific state conditions, so long as the basic standard was adhered to. In two areas, however: specific constitutional standards for evaluating state apportion ment plans, and remedies to be used by the lower courts, the Supreme Court pre ferred, considering that different circumstancs prevail in different states, to leave this to be worked out by the lower courts on a state by state basis.

December, 1964

INTRODUCTION:
Pursuant to the authority granted in Senate Resolution No. 241 adopted at the 1964 Regular Session of the General Assembly, the President of the Senate (Lieutenant Governor) appointed an interim legislative committee to study barber problems. For the purpose of this report, the committee will be referred to as the Senate Interim Barber Study Committee.
The members of the Committee are as follows:
Honorable Edward S. Kendrick Senator, 32nd District Honorable Zell Miller Senator, 50th District Honorable Erwin Owens Senator, 49th District Honorable J. M. Salome Senator, 36th District

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2549

The President of the Senate (Lieutenant Governor) designated Senator Miller as Chairman of the Committee and at its initial meeting, Senator Kendrick was designated as Secretary of the Committee.

Pursuant to the authority granted in House Resolution No. 558 adopted at the 1964 Regular Session of the General Assembly, the Speaker of the House of Representatives appointed an interim legislative committee to study barber problems. For the purpose of this report, the committee will be referred to as the House Interim Barber Study Committee. The members of the Committee are as follows:
Honorable B. Frank Arnsdorff Representative, Effingham County Honorable William B. Greene Representative, Bartow County Honorable Curtis C. Herndon Representative, Appling County Honorable Richard Russell Smith Representative, Habersham County Honorable Paul Stalnaker Representative, Houston County Honorable Ray M. Tucker Representative, Henry County

The Speaker of the House of Representatives designated Representative Greene as Chairman of the Committee and at its initial meeting, Representative Tucker was designated as Secretary of the Committee.

The members of the two Committees decided that it would be more practical to function in the same manner as a joint Committee. The members of the Com mittees unanimously agreed that when they met together that Representative William B. Greene would act as Chairman and Representative Ray M. Tucker would act as Secretary, but that the Committees would retain their individual status.

EXTENT OF STUDY:
The Committee familiarized themselves with Chapter 84-4 of the Code of Georgia of 1933 which relates to barbers, manicurists, teachers and instructors in barber schools and colleges, barber shops, and barber schools and colleges. Pursuant to the authority granted in said Code Chapter, the Georgia State Board of Barbers administers the laws of the State of Georgia regulating the occupation or trade of barbering and manicuring and the operation of barber schools and colleges. Persons engaged in the occupation or trade of barbering and manicuring and operating barber schools and colleges met with the Com mittees and made many suggestions relative to changes in the present laws of the State of Georgia governing the occupation or trade of barbering and mani curing and the operation of barber schools and colleges. Members of the Georgia State Board of Barbers and officials of the Georgia Professional Barbers Asso ciation also appeared before the Committee and gave their view relative to elevating the occupation or trade of barbering in the State of Georgia.
Subcommittees of the Committees visited barber shops, barber schools and colleges in various sections of the State and interviewed owners thereof and

2550

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

employees, instructors and students therein. Customers of barber shops were also interviewed.

At the request of the Committee, Honorable C. L. Clifton, Joint-Secretary, State Examining Boards, and other personnel in his office attended several meetings of the Committees and the information furnished to the Committees by them materially aided the Committees.

CONCLUSION:
The Committees are of the opinion that the provisions of the present laws of the State of Georgia regulating barbers, the occuptaion or trade of barbering and barber schools and colleges are not adequate. The present laws do not con tain powers and safeguards that are usually afforded other regulatory agencies in the State of Georgia. During the limited time which the Committees had to function, it would have been impossible to rewrite Code Chapter 84-4.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Rather than make specific recommendations, the Committees have prepared a proposed Bill amending Code Chapter 84-4 which will improve the existing Code provisions and grant to the Georgia State Board of Barbers sufficient powers for it to adequately operate as a State regulatory agency.
The Committees recommend that the attached Bill be introduced and passed at the 1964 Regular Session of the General Assembly of Georgia.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
The Committees wish to express their appreciation for all those who assisted the Committees during their deliberations. The Committees specifically express their appreciation to the members of the Georgia State Board of Barbers, Honor able Wiley Fordham, Chairman, Honorable Ray Phillips, Member, Honorable F. B. Rainwater, Member; to Honorable C. L. Clifton, Joint-Secretary, State Ex amining Boards and other personnel which Honorable Ben Fortson, Secretary of State and Honorable C. L. Clifton made available to the Committees; and to Honorable Roy Nicholson, Executive Secretary, Georgia Professional Barbers Association.
The Committees wish to express their appreciation to the staff of the Office of Legislative Counsel for its most able and valuable assistance.

REPORT OP THE MUNICIPAL STUDY COMMITTEE
INTRODUCTION
The Municipal Study Committee was created by House Resolution 558 and the Speaker appointed as members of the Committee, Representatives J. Floyd Harrington of Baldwin, Mitchel P. House, Jr. of Bibb, Charles C. Smith of Caniden, Bart E. Shea of Chatham, Henry R. Milhollin of Coffee, A. S. Johnson, Sr. of Elbert, A. Sid Newton of Jenkins, Emory L. Rowland of Johnson, Haygood Keadle of Lamar, J. Paul Sinclair of Macon, Harold G. Clarke of Monroe, George B. Brooks of Oglethorpe, William E. Blair of Sumter, Ed Fulford of Terrell, and Wayne Snow, Jr., of Walker. Representative Sinclair of Macon was appointed Chairman and at the organizational meeting Representative Row land was elected Vice-Chairman and Representative Snow was elected Secretary.
Th magnitude of the many problems besetting the municipalities was best revealed from the testimony of City Clerk Dorsey Jones of Tallapoosa, Georgia when he stated, "Not having no money do make it a little unhandy". Urban growth and the increasing demands placed on municipalities for immediate services resulting from such growth, without comparative avenues of increased revenue, presented a graphic picture of the difficult financial circumstances in which the cities of Georgia find themselves whether they be small or large.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2563

Rigid State laws in the public interest such as the Uniform Traffic Code, Requirements for sanitary treatment of sewage for health and conservation purposes, and the general preemption of municipalities from other forms of taxation by the State with the exception of the ad valorem tax, have greatly multiplied the plight of the municipalities of Georgia. The situation has been further aggravated by the continued increase in the general automobile traffic on the city streets and the withdrawal of business from the downtown areas of municipalities into urban areas outside the city limits.

It is evident from the testimony which the Committee has heard from repre sentatives of every section of Georgia, that the Georgia Municipal Association and the Association of County Commissioners continue to be at arms length on many problems, the solution to which can only be found when the two asso ciations work in closer harmony for the mutual benefit of both the citizens of the cities and the fringe and rural areas surrounding the municipalities.

In order to fully apprise itself of the local needs of municipalities and to enable a broad study of the problems from the smallest towns to the largest cities, the Committee held public hearings in Atlanta, Macon, Carrollton, Athens, Savannah and Albany, Georgia. The problems presented were largely the same, the only difference being one of degree. The Committee studied records from other States and sought the advice and counsel of experts in the fields of plan ning, home rule, direct grants to municipalities, boundary adjustment, current sewage, street, drainage, law enforcement, fire protection, maintenance, and various related problems. The Committee found that the State of Georgia does less for its municipalities than any of our neighboring States, to wit:

IN TENNESSEE--One cent of the gas tax is returned to the municipality from which collected; the citizens of Chattanooga, Tennessee, as an example, receive $13.03 per capita as a direct grant from the State; cities in Ten nessee are permitted to levy a 1% sales tax on local option; a cigarette tax of one cent on each package can be levied by the municipality; a liquor tax which is approximately 5% of the sale price is levied, the same being pro-rated around the entire State to the municipalities.
IN ALABAMA--The State distributes $2.09 per capita directly back to the municipality; the State allows a local municipal sales tax up to 3%; a utility tax; and a four cent tax on each pack of cigarettes sold can be levied.
IN FLORIDA--Municipalities realize a direct return from the State of $10.92 per capita. The cities also receive 44 million dollars annually from local cigarette tax.
IN SOUTH CAROLINA--The municipalities receive a direct grant from the State of $3.84 per capita.
IN NORTH CAROLINA--The municipalities receive a direct grant of $11.68 per capita.
The Committee points out the foregoing facts not to suggest that Georgia open a flood gate in allowing municipalities to enter other areas of taxation, but to emphasize the past neglect of our State in failing to make a substantial return to the citizens of the municipal areas for the large contribution that the

2564

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

urban incorportaed areas make to the financial stability and the general welfare of this State as a whole. Because of the broad base of the tax structure and the efficient means of collection on the State level, the committee feels at this time that the municipalities can be best assisted by the State in the form of direct grants.

Although the Committee has heard voluminous reports and has examined and studied numerous pamphlets, bulletins and other materials, it is virtually impossible to fully explore in this report the full scope of the reports, statements and extensive testimony which has been presented to the Committee. However, copies of such statements, reports and the minutes of the meetings of the Com mittee are on file in the office of the Legislative Counsel for the inspection and further study of the membership of the General Assembly. There follows in the order of their importance, the findings and recommendations of the Committee:

GRANTS OF FUNDS TO THE MUNICIPALITIES
In each municipality in the State from which the Committee received testi mony, there was a backlog of existing current needs which could not be alleviated because of a general lack of funds. Although a surprisingly large number of municipalities have undergone a property re-evalution program, even in counties where the program has not been undertaken by the county, there are many cities that have failed in their obligations to fairly assess the property for ad valorem taxation purposes.
From the testimony received, the municipalities evidenced great need in the areas of street construction, maintenance, resurfacing, sewage disposal plants, extension of sewage trunk lines, housekeeping needs such as additional police men with higher pay, improved fire protection, urban renewal participation, recreation, parks, sidewalks, curbs, and storm drains which in most areas were found to be either non-existant, inadequate or joined with a sewage system such as in Savannah, thereby creating both a health problem as well as a totally inadequate system especially in times of flooding. Traffic control devices in most of Georgia's municipalities are out-dated and do not conform to the re quirements of the Uniform Traffic Code, and enormous amounts of money are involved in the rebuilding of older devices or the purchasing of new ones.
The Committee finds that the needs of the municipalities of Georgia are so great that they warrant an annual direct grant appropriation of $9,317,013.03, and we so recommend, urging that this recommendation be implemented as expeditiously as practicable, and to be allocated as proposed in the bill as recom mended by this Committee and be administered by the State Treasurer. Such grants shall be for the purposes of fulfilling their responsibility to construct and maintain a system of public roads, streets, sidewalks, bridges and appur tenances, and to provide personnel and equipment to control and accommodate the flow of traffic thereon. The Committee, therefore, incorporates into this report the attached bill designated as Exhibit "A".
Funds now being diverted into said areas by the municipalities could be used to provide better housekeeping operations, sewage extension and disposal units, adequate police protection, pay, and fire protection.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2565

When substantial grants are made available to the municipalities, they should be entitled to withdraw their social security deposits from the State Agency in a like manner as counties are now permitted to do, and that appro priate legislation to facilitate this withdrawal be introduced.

HOME RULE
The current problems besetting the General Assembly due to the necessity of reapportionment gave new emphasis to the area of Home Rule. In some in stances there is a prospect that one representative will reprsent more than one county. Situations of this sort will aggravate the already burdensome field of local legislation. Under a Home Rule Constitutional Amendment enacted into effect in 1954, there is sufficient authority for the passage of enabling legisla tion implementing the constitutional provisions as the same relates to munici palities.
The Committee reviewed the subject of Home Rule in its entirety by acknowl edging that a uniform law governing all municipalities which is now non-existent would be desirable and that any such bill should be specific in spelling out exactly what a municipality could do and what it could not do. The present municipal charters are all different and the difference often results in confusion as to the laws of different cities. It was conceded and agreed that the General assembly needed to remain a check and balance and retain control in many areas such as the field of taxation, boundary adjustment, matters dealing with criminal law, and that proper safeguards should be made available to the citizens of a municipality so that a right of revocation of an undesirable ordinance passed by a city could be revoked by its citizens. Such provisions, checks and balances are contained in the bill attached to this report as Exhibit B and the same is recommended for passage by the Committee in the next session of the General Assembly. The bill is substantially the same as the provisions contained in the proposed constitution and passed by the General Assembly in the Special Session of 1964. The advantage of this bill is that by being statutory rather than a con stitutional amendment, it will have a testing period after passage, and areas of needed change can be made by the General Assembly without requiring a constitutional amendment.

PLANNING IN GENERAL
The Committee received the testimony of a large number of experts in the field of planning, revealing that Georiga has 180 planning commissions oper ating within the State. Of these, 45 are joint city-county planning commissions, 115 cities with planning programs independent of the counties and 11 counties with planning programs independent of the cities.
The Committee discovered that the State of Georgia has more joint citycounty planning commissions than are to be found in any other State. The program is assisted by the Federal Government through the Urban Planning Assistance Program wherein the Federal Agency provides two-thirds of the funds matched by a one-third non-federal source derived from state, county, city or private means. The program is in some danger of being seriously curtailed in that the Congress reduced its appropriation for this field from $19,000,000 to $11,350,000 for this year.

2566

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The area planning commissions in Georgia are working in the following areas: tourist, local and regional development, and water resources. Proper planning would envelope the areas of (1) population, employment and labor force; (2) income, retail and wholesale trade; (3) existing manufacturers; (4)' economic facilities; (5) natural resources; (6) economic development potentials.
It is strongly felt by those actively engaged in the planning commissions that a State Planning Commission is needed. Such a centralized planning com mission would:
(1) Aid the Governor and the General Assembly in promoting legislation in the field of planning and making suggestions as to what should be done based on actual needs as shown by thorough study.
(2) Make population studies showing trends and would make predictions for the future.

(a) Would be an over-all study for benefit of all departments of State government rather than for a single department.
(3) Work in conjunction with other departments of State government rather than duplicating studies being made by several departments separately.
(a) Individual departments of State government lack the skill, the staff and the time to do long range planning.

(4) Would make a long range program of public works with ultimate objective being a general plan for development of the entire state.

It is recognized that the Department, of Industry and Trade within its present limitations is unable to properly coordinate the efforts of the various planning commissions and is prevented from actually engaging in State plan ning. Planning commissions are hampered in procuring experts in the field because of the lack of funds and competitive pay. Though large numbers of qualified students are annually being graduated from Georgia Tech, they are attracted to other States because of higher pay scales.

The Department of Industry and Trade now has the responsibility of pro viding financial and technical assistance to consumer groups throughout the State, but because of a limited staff and the work load, Georgia has not received all of the Federal funds for which we would be entitled on a matching fund basis. With the decrease in the Federal appropriation, every effort should be made to guarantee that Georgia will get all of the 701 funds which would be available. The Committee feels that unless our professional staff in the Depart ment of Industry and Trade is increased, we are jeopardizing our 701 funds now being received by the local planning commissions and we recommend that the General Assembly provide sufficient funds to the Department of Industry and Trade so that they may increase their professional staff sufficiently to meet the standards so as to continue to receive the State's share of the Federal funds.
The Committee further recommends that a special committee be appointed

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2567

to study the need for a State Planning Commission, separate and apart from any department of State government, but that presently the program be con tinued in the Department of Industry and Trade. A State Planning Commission
would be advisory in nature only.

EXTRA TERRITORIAL PLANNING AND ZONING
There are presently in Georgia statutory provisions enabling cities and counties to join together for the purposes of planning and zoning. The Committee in its study of these problems found as follows:
(1) Legislation in this field would only affect cities and counties which do not presently have joint planning and zoning programs through local enabling legislation.
(2) General lack of exercise of control and sound development of areas immediately adjacent to the cities of Georgia.
(3) One mile radius from city limits would be the affected area for joint planning and zoning.
(4) Both municipality and persons in affected area would be on the planning board.
(5) Such legislation would be of equal benefit to both the cities and the counties.
Those who favor such legislation in the area of planning and zoning say:

(a) In the event of annexation, in areas where there has been proper planning, utilities would not have to be replaced--streets would be orderly and meet specifications.
(b) Such legislation would not tell someone to move something that is already there. Would curtail an increase in undesirable businesses.
(c) Would promote an orderly manner of development. Presently a great absence of control over the fringe areas outside the cities.
Those who oppose such legislation in the area of planning and zoning say:
(a) Such a law might simply be a revenue raising measure with no en forcement, thereby failing to assure proper standards for building permits, plumbing inspections, electrical inspections, etc.
(b) Such legislation would limit use of a person's property for the purposes of the individual, but would be limited in use to the purposes for which zoned. This would be taking away the property rights of owners.

(c) Why should the city not, now, annex the adjacent territory instead of going through the motions of zoning and planning?

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The Committee is of the opinion that sufficient law now exists for those areas which would desire to adopt the planning and zoning provisions. The Committee recommends that those areas of the State interested in such legislation take advantage of the statutory provisions now available. However, the Com mittee feels that because of the differences which exist between the governing authorities of the municipalities and counties of this State relative to the zoning and planning laws, that a joint effort should be made at the municipal and county level to reconcile these differences and, if necessary, legislation be spon sored to accomplish this purpose.

RADAR FOR MUNICIPALITIES

The Committee found a great deal of sentiment in the various municipalities of Georgia to the effect that they feel unjustly penalized because of the abuse of radar by which some municipalities established widely known "speed traps". It was pointed out to the Committee by the city of Rossville, Georgia and the city of Savannah, Georgia that their problems with speed regulation have multiplied since radar was prohibited to the cities. This problem is presently being studied by the Safety Study Committee.

This Committee deems it advisable not to make recommendations in this area due to the intensive study and investigation being made by the special committee thereon.

BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT

Boundary Adjustment legislation continues to be a pressing need in Georgia. This Committee recognizes the need and recommends that studies be continued with the objective of attempting to solve the problems resulting from the population explosion and the exodus from the municipalities of many qualified and capable citizens who could contribute much leadership to the municipalities during these changing political and social times. People within and without municipal limits must respect the rights, the limitations and the objectives of one another and must work together to attempt to alleviate the problems which are the product of the whole.

The committee appreciates the assistance of the Georgia Municipal Associa tion which was most helpful in having different groups appear before the Committee and our appreciation is also extended to the Mayors, City Managers, Councilmen, City Clerks, and the other Municipal Officers who shared with us the benefit of their experiences, their needs, as well as many successes and accomplishments in the field of municipal government. Particular appreciation is also extended the Office of Legislative Counsel for their counsel and assistance.

Laws 1962, Sept. - Oct. Extra Sess., p. 33), as amended particularly by an Act approved April 9, 1963 (Ga. Laws 1963, p. 441) ; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OP GEORGIA:
Section 1. It is hereby declared to be the purpose and intent of the General Assembly that State funds be made available to the governing bodies of certain incorporated municipalities of this State to aid them in fulfilling their responsi bility to construct and maintain a system of public roads, streets, sidewalks, bridges and appurtenances, and provide personnel and equipment to control and accommodate the flow of traffic therein, and funds made available under this Act shall be used for such purposes and not otherwise.
Section 2. To the extent funds are made available by the Budget Authorities pursuant to the General Appropriations Act of 1965, or to the extend funds are made available by any future law, for the purposes set out in Section 1 hereof, the State Treasurer is authorized and directed to grant such funds to the incorporated municipalities of this State, as defined herein, on the following basis:
(a) An amount equal to five ten-thousandths of the total sum available at any given time for grants under this Act shall be first determined, and each incorporated municipality whose population is 500 or less shall receive as its total grant such portion of the five ten-thousandths amount so determined as its population proportionately bears to 500. Such grants shall be referred to as "Subsection (a) Grants".

2570

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(b) The amount remaining for distribution after deducting the total amount of Subsection (a) Grants shall then be divided by the total population of all incorporated municipalities whose population exceeds 500 to arrive at a per capita amount. Such per capita amount shall be multiplied, in turn, by the population of each incorporated municipality whose population exceeds 500. Any such municipality whose population when so multiplied equals less than the five ten-thousandths amount as first determined under subsection (a) shall receive as its total grant the five ten-thousandths amount. Such grants shall be referred to as "Subsection (b) Grants".
(c) The amount remaining for distribution after deducting the total amount of Subsection (a) and Subsection (b) Grants shall then be divided by the total population of all remaining incorporated municipalities (eliminating those receiving Subsection (a) and Subsection (b) Grants) to arrive at a per capita amount for such remaining incorporated municipalities. The per capita amount as so determined shall then be multiplied by the population of each such remaining incorporated municipality to arrive at their respective grants. Such grants shall be referred to as "Subsection (c) Grants".
(d) Whenever population is used in this Act it means population as deter mined according to the United States decennial census of 1960 or any future such census.

Section 3. "Incorporated Municipality" as used in this Act shall mean an incorporated municipality the governing body of which has held at least six regular meetings within the twelve months preceding the execution of the certificate required by section 4 hereof, and which has levied taxes or levied fees of any type for the operation of the government of the municipality within the twelve months preceding the execution of the certificate required by section 4 hereof.

Section 4. Each incorporated municipality, as defined herein, shall submit to the State Treasurer a certificate showing the number of regular meetings held within the preceding twelve months by the governing body of the munici pality, and stating that taxes or fees were levied within the twelve months pre ceding such certificate for the operation of the municipal government. Such certificate shall be substantially in the following form:

A separate account of such funds shall be maintained by each municipality, and the State Treasurer is hereby authorized to promulgate such reasonable rules and regulations as he may deem necessary or desirable to insure that said funds have been expended in accordance with this Act, or that they are on hand and available for such purposes. A certificate executed by the highest elected official of the municipality to the effect that said funds have been expended for the purposes authorized by this Act shall be prima facie evidence of such fact, and the State Treasurer shall accept the same as such without personal or official liability for truthfulness of the information contained in such certificate.

Section 7. An Act entitled "An Act to provide for the purpose of aiding in the construction and maintenance of streets and for aiding in defraying the costs of providing personnel and equipment for the control of traffic; to provide the procedure connected therewith; to repeal an Act relating to grants to in corporated municipalities, approved March 6, 1962 (Ga.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE TO STUDY UNIFORM SALARIES IN STATE GOVERNMENT
INTRODUCTION AND FINDINGS
The Uniform Salary Study Committee was created pursuant to House Resolution No. 558 adopted at the regular 1964 session of the General Assembly of Georgia. The Speaker appointed as members of the Committee, Representa-

2575

tives D. B. Blalock, Coweta County; Rooney L. Bowen, Dooly County; Truitt Davis, Heard County; James H. Ployd, Chattooga County; Floyd Hudgins, Chattahoochee County; D. W. Knight, Jr., Laurens County; W. Jones Lane, Bulloch County; Gerald H. Leonard, Murray County; Jimmie Rogers, Long County; Ralph R. Underwood, Taylor County; and Wilson B. Wilkes, Cook County. Representative Wilkes was designated as Chairman, and at the organi zational meeting, Representative Lane was elected Vice-Chairman and Representa tive Rogers, Secretary. Representative Wilkes subsequently resigned as a member of the House of Representatives in order to take an appointment as State Budget Officer. After that time, Representative Lane acted as Chairman.

The Committee was created for the purpose of studying the advisability and feasibility of establishing a uniform salary schedule for state officials. At its first meeting, the Committee decided it would be best to concentrate its efforts with relation to the constitutional officers who are elected by the people. There have been numerous complaints in recent years concerning various aspects of Georgia's system of compensating its state governmental officials. A great deal of this criticism has stemmed from the fact that it is rather difficult, if not impossible, to examine any one statute and ascertain the exact amount of compensation received by a particular official. This is particularly true with reference to the elective constitutional officers. A large number of these com plaints have come from members of the General Assmbly when requests for salary increases have been made. Probably the most consistent criticism has concerned the device of payment for service on various boards, commissions, bureaus and similar agencies.

Bills providing for a salary schedule have been introduced in recent years, but for one reason or another have not passed. The last salary Bill in which most of the officials were covered was enacted in 1953. Gradually, however, one official after another has been removed from the purview of this statute until, at the present time, only the Governor and the Auditor, of the orginal officials included, remain under the provisions of the statute. The State Supervisor of Purchases was subsequently included for coverage under the Act. As a result of officials being removed from the Act, the salary system has once more become a hodgepodge.

The Committee has accumulated information on this subject from Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, and South Carolina, and has had the benefit of testimony from almost all the elective constitutional officers. These officials were unanimous in their recommendation that pay for boards and commissions be discontinued. Under the provisions of the 1953 Act referred to heretofore, these officials receive compensation for each four year period of service up to a certain maximum amount. This means that an official after having served sixteen years, for example, would receive more compensation than a person serving his first term. The state officials who appeared before the Committee had a divided opinion as to the advisability of compensation for longevity. There was some feeling that an official was more valuable to the State having served for a number of years, thereby gaining experience and becoming thoroughly familiar with the duties of his office. Others felt, however, that on many occasions a new person might be a better official than one who had been here a number of years. It was the feeling of the Committee that as far as government officials are concerned, longevity should not count. Each official was also requested to give his opinion as to whether salaries should be uniform. Here again, there was no unanimity of opinion. It was the feeling of some of the officials that the duties of the office should enter into consideration

2576

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

of compensation. They felt that some officials had considerably more duties to perform and should be additionally compensated. Others felt that the elective constitutional officers should all receive the same sum. They felt that the duties of the various offices should not play too big a part in the compensation scheme and also felt that even so, the responsibilities of each office were tremendous and would not warrant a difference of salary. Of all the states from which the Committee obtained information, only Louisiana failed to provide for uniform salaries among its elective constitutional officers.

The practice in the states varies relative to expenses. For example, one state furnishes automobiles for its officials and also provides an open expense account. Other states provide for payment of actual expenses, while others pro vide for a maximum amount for expenditures per day. Here again, there is no uniformity among Georgia officials. Some of them are paid actual expenses, while others are given a flat annual sum from which they must pay expenses and if they exceed this sum, expenses must be paid from their own funds.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSION

The subject of compensation of the elective constitutional officers is a com plex one and one which is of tremendous importance not only to the affected officials but to the entire State. The members of the Committee realize this and wish to state that they are completely sincere in their efforts to achieve order out of the somewhat chaotic salary system which now exists in Georgia. The Committee knows that the business of state government is the largest in the State, and that in order to attract capable persons to run this business adequate compensation must be provided. On the other hand, the Committee realizes that the money expended comes from public funds paid into the State Treasury by the taxpayers of this State and that the interest of the taxpayers must be protected above all else. The Committee certainly has no thought in mind of penalizing any particular official or showing favoritism toward any other official. The members of this Committee have performed the duties required of them conscientiously and have sought to determine what is best for the State of Georgia. With these ideas in mind and based on the various meetings and hearings conducted by the Committee, the testimony of the officials who appeared before the Committee, the information from other states, and the discussions, study and opinions of the individual members of the Committee, the Committee makes the following recommendations:

(1) The compensation of the constitutional officers who are elected by the people should be uniform. Those officials are:
Attorney General Commissioner of Agriculture Commissioner of Labor Comptroller General Public Service Commission Members Secretary of State State Superintendent of Schools State Treasurer

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2577

The Committee does not wish to make a recommendation as to amount at this time because it feels additional study is needed. Further information is still being sought from other states and the Committee will give this matter more thought and attention. A Bill sponsored by the Committee will be introduced at the 1965 session, and this Bill, of course, will contain a figure.

(2) The Governor should receive more compensation than the other designat ed officials. Here again, the Committee does not wish at this time to give any figure.

(3) The Lieutenant Governor should receive less compensation than the other designated officials. Here again, the Committee does not wish at this time to give any figure.

(4) The Justices of the Supreme Court and the Judges of the Court of Appeals should receive the same compensation as the other designated officials.

(5) No additional compensation should be received for longevity.

(6) No additional compensation should be received for service on boards, commissions, bureaus and similiar agencies.

(7) These officials should be paid for actual expenses incurred in the performance of their duties. This means that no contingent expense allowances would be authorized.

(8) The compensation of other state officials, such as the appointive de partment heads, should continue to be paid in the same manner as before. It is recommended that the appropriations committees of the House and Senate study the budget requests of all departments very carefully and if the compensa tion of any such official is thought to be too large or too small, the department should be made aware of this fact and should be requested to consult with the committees.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE TO STUDY PROBLEMS RELATING TO PUBLIC WELFARE
(House Resolution No. 558)
Mr. Speaker, your Committee to Study Problems Relating to Public Welfare wishes to submit the following report:
The Committee assembled at the State Capitol for the initial meeting and discussed numerous subjects and questions for investigation. Each member was requested to submit at a later meeting any matters under the above mentioned title that was of pertinent value to the citizens of the State or the Department of Family and Children Services.

2578

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Mrs. Bruce Schaefer, Director, Department of Family and Children Services, Mr. Charlie Doolittle and Mr. Phil Cawthon were introduced to the Committee and discussed numerous problems concerning their Department. One point that was pleasing to all Committee members was Mrs. Schaefer's intent to produce a small booklet that will contain numerous facts of information concerning questions that need to be answered for the citizenry. She stated many fallacies that had occurred, misquoted facts and statements and other problems would be covered as clearly as possible within this booklet.
Mrs. Schaefer discussed numerous instances whereby her Department was receiving a false viewpoint when in actuality there was a misunderstanding upon the recipient's part. She gave actual accounts that substantiated her position and stated that in most cases the problem was not as big as it seemed, but was given to the legislator on a personal basis. It was noted that in many cases the recipient was misusing welfare money, but Mrs. Schaefer brought to the Com mittee's attention a law passed in 1964 that would eliminate this condition to some degree. The "personal representative clause" of this law would make it possible for the local welfare agency to become involved in the actual spending of the check received by the claimant.
Another problem discussed of pertinent value to the entire State was that involving seansonal labor and inability to secure such labor. It was noted that on many occasions laborers would not be available for work due to various forms of checks being received from the Welfare Department. Mr. Phil Cawthon informed the Committee that this was a local problem, and it was the local di rector's responsibility to withdraw these monthly payments if justifiably proven work was available.
Another problem of statewide application that is of vital concern is the one involving illegitimacy. This problem is of large magnitude and of the utmost importance. It is not the Committee's position to jeopardize any child, its welfare, or its future, but it is our feeling that some concrete steps should be taken to curtail this problem. It is noted that approximately $21,000,000 of which $16,000,000 is Federal and is spent each year in the State for illegitimate and dependent children. The Committee does not wish to jeopardize these funds by any definite statute, but wishes to bring before each legislator this problem and hope for a possible future development.

The Committee having explored the above mentioned problems decided to visit the Training School for Boys at Milledgeville and the Training School for Girls at Adamsville to inspect facilities and the various programs initiated at these institutions. It was noted that at the Training School for the Girls great strides of improvement have taken place and the Committee points out this with pride. There exist three dormitories, two of which are new, on the grounds with individual compartments for each girl. Miss Joyce Stringer, Superintendent, brought to the Committee's attention that at this time the school is at its capacity and some girls are now in detention awaiting openings. It was found that the school has excellent facilities for educational, as well as vocational training. It was also noted that classes of various subjects such as ceramics, home economics and hair styling were available to the girls for future employ ment, as well as providing a valuable pastime. The Committee is in full agree ment in that there now exists a well rounded program involving individual upkeep, educational, vocational and recreational facilities at the school at this time.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2579

The Committee discussed general procedures and particular problems con cerning the Training School for Boys at Milledgeville with Mr. White, the Superintendent. We then inspected the school premises and investigated specific situations. The Committee found the Superintendent and his associates to be doing an excellent and worthwhile job with the facilities and resources available to him; however, we feel that there exists a definite need for a resident physician and for increased psychiatric attention to the wards of the school; for a more complete and diversified vocational training program; for full implementation of existing programs; and for more individual facilities within the living cottages.

The Committee also notes that there is no effective program to follow up or supervise the boys upon their discharge and feels that a definite deficiency exists in this regard.

The Committee would like to make the following recommendations as to the various problems discussed and to the two training schools that were visited:
1. The Committee recommends one full time social worker for each judicial circuit to be employed as soon as possible. Areas that are lacking that can be filled by this vacancy are job placement, counseling, guidance and other pertinent help that may be needed.
2. The Committee recommends more house parents for both the Training School for Boys and the Training School for Girls. It is felt there definitely needs to be a closeness between the individual boy or girls and the house parent and it was found because of dual jobs, some parents were having to neglect one of their major functions.
3. The Committee recommends more dormitory space for the Training School for Girls at Adamsville. It was noted this would help alleviate the problem of girls having to spend extra days in jail awaiting openings at the school.
4. The Committee recommends a full time psychiatrist to be employed at the Training School for Boys at Milledgeville. There definitely is a great need for a full time medical doctor at this facility also.
5. The Committee recommends more individual facilities in the now existing dormitories. It is felt the situation that now exists is not one of the best and may produce an adverse effect upon the individual.

6. The Committee recommends a wider approach to vocational-type training and to more closely utilize the now existing facilities. It was found that in some areas instructors were not available for the programs that exist.

7. The Committee recommends a study to be accomplished by the Vocational Rehabilitation Group, along with a representative of the Department of Family and Children Services, for new methods to promote jobs for boys and girls while in training school as well as in later life.

The Committee wishes to thank Mrs. Bruce Schaefer, Director, Department of Family and Children Services and her entire staff; Miss Joyce Stringer,

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The Committee found that the Game and Pish Department's principal source of funds is derived from appropriations made by the General Assembly. In addi tion, funds are derived from the federal government which are furnished for the purpose of wildlife restoration and development work. Proceeds derived from the sale of state hunting and fishing licenses and from motorboat registrations, excluding fines, go into the General Fund of the State Treasury.

The Committee studied the need for a change in the laws relative to liability of landowners for injuries sustained by invited guests while on lands leased to the State Game and Fish Department and used for managed hunts. The Com mittee felt that legislation is needed in this area, but no recommendation has been made because it was felt that additional study is necessary.

The Committee found that there have been expenditures on coastal facilities where salt water fishing licenses are not required. If a license were to be re quired by law, it would increase the number of fishing licenses by approximately 25,000. This would, of course, bring about a corresponding increase in revenue.

Discussion and consideration was given to the law relative to the use of baskets in taking of rough fish in the public streams. The Committee has no recommendation concerning this law and feels more study and research must be devoted to the matter before any recommendation can be made.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
1) After an intensive study of all of the game and fish laws of the state, the Committee recommends that there be a recodification of the general laws of Georgia pertaining to game and fish.
2) The Committee found the state game and fish laws generally have been enforced very efficiently by the rangers of the Game and Fish Department. However, it might be noted that the Committee felt that there should be more emphasis on the public relations activities of the Department in the field of educating the general public concerning the game and fish laws, as the public is not as well informed as they should be about this subject.
3) The Committeee felt that the Game and Fish Department should be en couraged to initiate plans to create better sport and commercial fishing and hunt ing for Georgians and tourists.
4) The Committee found that capital improvements have been made in many management areas, however, attention is called to the dire need for improvements at the Bowen's Mill facilities; and it is the recommendation of this Committee that priority of both funds and effort be expended by the Department to improve this important facility which is so vital to the wildlife conservation movement in Georgia.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ A. B. C. Dorminy Chairman
/s/ Roy Kelly Secretary

REPORT OP THE INTERIM STUDY COMMITTEE ON THE MOTOR VEHICLE INSPECTION LAW

Mr. Speaker:

The Committee was created for the purpose of studying the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Inspection Law in order to determine the areas in which needed improvements, if any, could be made.

The Committee conducted public hearings at the State Capitol for the pur pose of affording members of the general public an opportunity to appear and voice their opinions concerning the law and its implementation. In addition to the appearance of members of the general public, the Committee heard from those officials charged with the responsibility of enforcing the provisions of this Act. Also, the Committee sought information and advice from other states and the agencies which administer their motor vehicle inspection law. In addition to the public hearings held in Atlanta, the Committee also conducted public hearings in Macon and Savannah in order to afford citizens from all over the State an opportunity to appear and be heard concerning this matter.

From the testimony developed before the Committee, it was apparent that certain needed changes were required in the Motor Vehicle Inspection Law in order that it might gain more public acceptance. The principal controversy over the law involved the requirements concerning the setting of headlamp ad justments. Many of the abuses in this area were caused by unknowledgeable inspectors attempting to operate rather complicated machinery which they had not completely mastered. After a thorough examination of the existing law and its provisions, the Committee has drafted a proposed amendment which specifically spells out those items of equipment which are to be inspected and prescribes the minimum standards which must be met. It is the belief of the Committee that, with this recommended bill of the Committee, by far and large the major portions of the abuses and complaints revolving out of this inspection law will be eliminated, and yet an effective piece of traffic safety legislation will be retained.

The Committee respectfully urges the members of the General Assembly to direct their astute attention and examination to the bill which has been recom mended by the Committee.

Respectfully submitted,
Williams of Hall Chairman
Harrell of Fayette Secretary

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

INTRODUCTION:

The Committee to Study State Farms in the State of Georgia was created pursuant to H. R. 558. The Speaker of the House of Representatives appointed the following members to the Committee: William E. Laite, Jr., Bibb County; Dorsey R. Matthews, Colquitt County; Sidney Lowrey, Floyd County; J. Roy McCracken, Jefferson County; Robert C. Pafford, Lanier County; Sam S. Singer, Stewart County, Buck Tabb, Miller County; Hubert H. Wells, Oconee County; E. B. Smith, Jr., Telfair County; and W. Frank Branch, Tift County. Repre sentative Lowrey was designated chairman of the Committee. The Committee held its organizational meeting at the State Capitol in Atlanta on December 1, 1964.

FINDINGS:
The Committee met with members of the Institutional Farms Advisory Com mittee, which has been active since 1960, on December 7, 1964, and discussed the progress which has been made to date in the operation of institutional farms and heard their recommendations for future improvements. The Advisory Com mittee is composed of:
Commission of Agriculture, Chariman;
Dean, College of Agriculture, University of Georgia;
Dean, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia;
Director, Agricultural Extension Service, University of Georgia;
Director, Agricultural Experiment Stations, University of Georgia; and
President, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.

The Advisory Committee employed Mr. Ervin Clanton to coordinate the activities of all State farms and to assist in any manner to improve the operations of the farms. A study of existing operations of the institutional farms has been conducted in cooperation with the various State agricultural agencies and certain recommendations have been proposed. The Committee highly commends Mr. Clanton, who is serving under the Advisory Committee in an advisory capacity. Great progress has been made under his administration, thereby saving taxpayers a considerable amount of money.
The Committee finds that the Advisory Committee has done an excellent job in coordinating the program of the State farms, and special praise is due the Advisory Committee for the progress made in improving the working rela tionships between the farms and other agricultural agencies. Progress has also been made in creating a better understanding between the various farms.
The Committee wishes to commend the members of the Georgia State Prison and the Coastal Plains Experiment Station for the enviable progress which has resulted from the working arrangement between these two institutions. It has proved to be a very profitable venture for all concerned. It is recommended that

2592

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE

similar agreements be worked out at other State farms. The use of these farms for experimental purposes could amount to sizable savings to the State.

Although the exchange of products, materials, and equipment by the State institutions has been recommended from time to time, there appears to be no no authority to effectuate these recommendations. As a result, there is a lack of cooperation in this area. For example, at Milledgeville State Hospital, there is a modern feed mill which, with very few changes, could manufacture the feeds for other institutional farms. There is also a modern abattoir at the hos
pital which, if operated to capacity, could process twice as much meat products as they are now processing. Reidsville Prison has a syrup-making plant which could produce enough syrup for all the other institutions with the necessary acreage of cane. Reidsville Prison could also produce enough feeder pigs to sup ply Milledgeville State Hospital the necessary pigs for their swine operation. At the present time, the hospital is purchasing feeder pigs on the open market. Milledgeville Hospital Farm is producing only a little more than one-half of the dairy products needed for the hospital. The farm with its present permanent pastures and land suitable for forage crops could, if properly managed, produce enough grazing, feed, and forage necessary for a dairy herd, which could produce all the dairy products needed by the hospital, and a complementary beef herd. The Committee recommends that Milledgeville Hospital Farm operation be separated from the hospital, in its entirety; however, the Committee believes that the hospital should receive all the benefits derived from the farming operation. If proper credit is given the farm for products furnished the hospital, the Com mittee feels that the farm would justify its operation.

From the State audits, the Committee was unable to determine the cost of operations of any farm. The Committee recommends that each institution main tain an adequate accounting system of its farming operations so as to be able to justify the expansion, curtailing or continuation of any given part of its operation.

Although Gracewood State School and Hospital Farm does not operate a dairy, they derive some benefit from the purchase of dairy products from the State Youth Development School, Augusta Division. The remainder of the re quirements are purchased on the open market. The Committee feels that the Gracewood State School and Hospital Farm is making a sizable contribution to the school and hospital in furnishing eggs, fresh vegetables, pork, and beef.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Committee concurs with a College Experiment Station report made by Mr. H. B. Henderson, Dairy Department Head, and Dr. O. T. Fosgate, Assistant Dairy Husbandman, on the dairy operation at the Georgia School for the Deaf at Cave Spring, which states that the amount of milk required by the school is too small a quantity to warrant a dairy operation at all. Therefore, the Com mittee recommends that the dairy operation be discontinued and that the school purchase necessary dairy products from some other source and use the land and buildings for some other purpose.

The Committee recommends that the proper legislation be enacted setting up a State Farm Management Commission composed of:
Commissioner of Agriculture, Chairman; Dean, College of Agriculture, University of Georgia;

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2593

Dean, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia;
Director, Agricultural Extension Service, University of Georgia;
Director, Agricultural Experiment Stations, University of Georgia;
President, Abraham Baldwin College;

who would have the authority to employ a farm manager, who in turn would have the authority to direct the affairs of all the State farms in the State of Georgia.

The Commission further recommends that the proposed State Farm Manage ment Commission be authorized to consolidate the farming operation with the other operations of any institution or to separate the farming operation from the other operations of any institution.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE CREATED TO STUDY CONSUMER CREDIT

Resolution Act No. 529, Approved February 21, 1964

THE COMMITTEE

Honorable Ralph McClelland Representative, Fulton County Chairman

Honorable Fred C. Jones, Jr. Representative, Lumpkin County Secretary

Honorable Henry L. Reaves Representative, Brooks County Member

Honorable Eldridge W. Perry Representative, Marion County Member

Honorable Jack W. Shuman Representative, Bryan County Member

Honorable James M. Hull, Jr. Representative, Richmond County Member

Honorable David C. Jones Representative, Worth County Member

December 15, 1964

INTRODUCTION:
The Committee to Study Consumer Credit in the State of Georgia was created pursuant to HR 529. The Speaker appointed the following members to the Committee: Representatives Henry L. Reaves of Brooks County, Jack W. Shuman of Bryan County, Henry N. Payton of Coweta County, Ralph McClelland of Fulton County, M. Parks Brown of Hart County, Fred C. Jones, Jr., of Lumpkin County, Eldridge W. Perry of Marion County, James M. Hull, Jr., of Rich mond County, James E. Beck of Twiggs County, E. Brooks Lewis of Wilkinson County, and David C. Jones of Worth County. Representative McClelland was designated Chairman of the Committee. The Committee held its organizational meeting at the State Capitol in Atlanta on November 10, 1964. The Committee was divided into two subcommittees, one subcommittee composed of lawyers and the other subcommittee composed of retail businessmen. The final meeting of the Committee was held at the State Capitol in Atlanta on December 9, 1964.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2595

FINDINGS:

The Chairman invited interested persons in the consumer credit industry to the organizational meeting of the Committee. The following members of the consumer credit industry were present: Mr. Ralph Wilguss, Vice-President, Rhodes Furniture Company; Mr. Tom Moore, Universal CIT; Mr. Lewis Austin, Executive Vice-President, Atlanta Retail Merchants Association; and Mr. Tom Gregory, Executive Vice-President, Georgia Retail Association. These gentlemen were very cooperative and agreed to assist the Committee in any way in its study of the consumer credit industry in the State of Georgia. In this connection, Mr. Austin and Mr. Gregory made available to the members of the Committee a 1963 Study of Consumer Credit Costs in Department Stores. The study was conducted by the accounting firm of Touche, Ross, Bailey and Smart of New York City, and a summary of the study is included in this report. (See Appendix, Exhibit "A") Although the study was limited to an analysis of consumer credit costs of ten large department store chains constituting eighty separate stores, it clearly indicates that the cost of extending credit often exceeds the service charge revenues.

The subcommittee of retail business obtained a study compiled by the South ern Retail Furniture Association, relating to credit costs of large furniture dealers located in South Carolina. (See Appendix, Exhibit "B") The Committee felt that the credit costs of the South Carolina stores would be comparable to the credit costs of similar Georgia stores. The South Carolina study also indicates that credit costs often exceed service charge revenues.

The Committee also made an analysis of present Georgia laws and deter mined that certain deficiencies exist. Although direct money loans appear to be adequately regulated by the banking laws and the Industrial Loan Act, time sales transactions seem to escape all regulation. For example, the courts in this State and in most other jurisdictions have held that the "time price differential" is not interest and, therefore, is not covered by the interest and usury laws. As a result, a seller using a contract designating tthe difference between the cash sales price and the time balance as the "time price differtial" may charge any rate he desires or that the competition will allow, and the interest and usury laws will not be applicable to the transaction. (See Appendix, Exhibit "C")

The second mortgage field is another area in which there appears to be no regulation. Time did not permit the Committee to explore tthe second mortgage field in detail, but Mr. Irving Morris, Executive Director of the Atlanta Better Business Bureau, furnished the Committee with a pamphlet published by the National Better Business Bureau, which explains the operations of certain sec ond mortgage brokers. (See Appendix, Exhibit "D") The Committee feels that this is an area which should be investigated and, if necessary, legislation enacted.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Committee was not appointed until late in the year and was unable to hold its first meeting until November 10, 1964. As a result, the Committee was limited to a relatively brief and cursory study of the problems involved in the consumer credit field. The Committee believes, however, that its study does indi cate a probable need for regulatory legislation, particularly in the field of time sales transactions and perhaps also in the second mortgage field. During the course of its deliberations, the Committee decided that it would be premature to

2596

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

attempt to propose legislation for introduction at the 1965 Session, because the limited time available to the Committee precluded its undertaking the very care ful and comprehensive analysis this important field deserves. A substantial part of the total economic activity in the State revolves around the consumer credit industry, and ill-considered legislation could have serious economic repercussions throughout the State. While many other states have laws regulating time sales transactions which may serve as a guide for legislation in this State, the eco nomic circumstances and many other factors vary considerably from state to state, making it unwise to pattern proposed legislation on the laws of other states until these differing factors are thoroughly analyzed. For these reasons, the Committee recommends to the General Assembly that a new interim Com mittee be created at the 1965 Session. The Committee further recommends that this new Committee be appointed and authorized to begin its studies shortly after the end of the 1965 Session. The Committee further recommends that the new Committee be directed to conduct an extensive study in the field of consumer credit with particular emphasis on all types of time sales transactions and that it prepare comprehensive legislation for introduction at the 1966 Session of the General Assembly.

The Committee has turned over all information obtained by it during its study to the Office of Legislative Counsel, and this information will be available to the new Committee.

A Summary of the Touche, Ross, Bailey & Smart Report
Considerable national publicity has been given in recent months to the apparent profitability of Retail Credit business. In an attempt to determine whether this profitability be myth or fact, the National Retail Merchants Asso ciation commissioned Touche, Ross, Bailey & Smart, a well know national firm of Certified Public Accountants, to make a "Study of Customer Credit Costs in Department Stores." The study was based on the premise that "there is a lack of knowledge on the part of the general public as to what it costs department stores to provide customers with credit services."
The objective of the study was to provide factual information concerning: (1) The costs of credit servies provided by department stores to their customers; and (2) the relationship between these costs and the services charges which customers pay for these services.
In total, the study included cost data on two million active accounts from approximately eighty stores located throughout the Eastern half of the United States.
The types of credit accounts studied were grouped into three main categories:
(1) Regular (30-Day) Charge Accounts; (2) Revolving Charge Accounts; and (3) Conventional Installment Accounts.
Costs identified with the handling of credit accounts were grouped into eight categories. The first three categories included those costs identified directly with the credit operation; namely, new account costs, account servicing costs, and account collection costs. Only direct out-of-pocket costs (costs that could be eliminated if the credit function were discontinued) were included in these three categories.
The fourth category--financing the accounts receivable investment--also rep resents an out-of-pocket cost. Touche, Ross, Bailey & Smart has pointed out that the use of 6% for Cost of Capital for investment in such accounts is a very conservative figure.
The fifth, sixth, and seventh cost categories cover space and equipment, additional salespeople required to handle credit transactions, and management expenses, respectively.
The eighth cost categories was labeled "Other Credit Costs" and was used to assure recognition of the fact that store costs, in addition to those specifically identified in the first seven categories, are affected by the existence of the credit function in department stores. These other credit costs include the following:
1. The cost of handling "extra" returns by credit customers. Commonly, returns from credit customers significantly exceed cash customer returns. In addition, this returned merchandise is frequently subject to markdowns because of its condition or because of its return subsequent to a peak selling period. This results in extra costs attributable to the existence of credit.

2598

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

2. The cost of handling "extra"credit deliveries. Commonly, credit customers have merchandise delivered more frequently than do cash customers. This, too, is a cost of credit.

3. The cost of maintaining the somewhat larger than normal inventories required for credit selling because of the additional amount of merchandise in the hands of credit customers which is destined to be returned to the store.

The detailed results of this study have been compiled in a booklet entitled, Study of Customer Credit Costs in Department Stores 1963, published by the Na tional Retail Merchants Association, 100 West 31st Street, New York, New York. These costs of credit business as identified by the study is summarized in the following quotation:

"Total credit costs for all stores included in this study amounted to $22 million, whereas the total service charge revenue totaled only $15.8 million, a deficienecy of $6.2 million."

Specifically, the costs are broken down by type of account as follows:

1. Regular 30-Day Charge Account--
The regular 30 - day account costs the store only $6.73 a year. But since it carries no service charge, the offsetting revenue in the form of "late charges" averages only 13^ a year. Costs exceed charges by $6.60 per account.

2. Revolving Credit Account--
It costs a department store an average of $13.64 a year to finance and service a revolving credit account. The store collects an average of $11.82 a year from that account in service charges. Costs exceed charges by $1.82 per account.

3. Conventional Installment Account--
A conventional installment account costs the store an average of $17.25 per year. Service charges per active installment account yield an average of $17.27. Income exceeds cost by $.02 per account.

As to rates assessed by the various stores studied, the report revealed the following:
(1) Regular 30-Day Charge Accounts. No service charge was assessed by the stores on "regular 30-day charge accounts" unless the customer missed two or more payments. At that time, some of the stores assessed a late charge.
(2) Revolving Credit Accounts. During the study period, all stores but one were charging 1%% on the monthly account balance. The one exception has since changed policies and is currently charging 1%%.
(3) Conventional Installment Accounts. Seven participating stores assessed serv ice charges monthly on outstanding balances. The rate used was generally 1%%, although two stores were using lower rates--one used li/4% and the other, 1%.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2599

The report states that the other four stores used the assessment method of "adding-on" the service charge to the sales price less the down payment but does not reveal the rate at which it is assessed.

Based on the foregoing, it can be seen that the cost of carrying credit ac counts in retail stores exceed the revenue derived from service charges assessed by such stores.

EXHIBIT "B"
A Study of Credit Costs By The
Southern Retail Furniture Association
The cost of keeping books in such detail as to segregate the costs of selling on Credit would be so high that no Company we know follows that practice. As a result of the activity of the Committee appointed under Joint Resolution No. 893, several members of the Southern Retail Furniture Association made a study of the functions which are added as a direct result of selling on Credit, and those functions which are increased as a result of Credit Sales.
A copy of the list of the expenses resulting from those functions is attached hereto. (TABLE 1)
In order to provide a factual basis for an answer to the question, "What rate of Time Price Differential (or Credit Service Charge, or Finance Charge) is required to pay these added costs", the actual operating statements of seven stores were analyzed and the direct costs of credit selling, plus the conserva tively estimated portion of the costs INCREASED by credit selling, were sub mitted to SRFA for compilation. No attempt was made to include the costs shown as Items 17 and 18 on TABLE 1, but most of the other costs are included. A copy of the resulting "Average Annual Cost of Operation of South Carolina Furniture Store Credit Department" is attached hereto. (TABLE 2)
Since this average shows a loss, we computed the NET "Finance Charge" required to break even to be $12.51 per $100. (TABLE 3). A store Charging $12.51 per $100. would NOT break even, as rebates to customers paying in full in advance would reduce the NET CHARGE to a greater degree than the AMOUNT the costs would decline as a result of such advance payment.
Another factor which must be considered is cost of borrowed money. While large organizations with high financial ratings may be able to borrow money to carry accounts receivable at 5%, very few independent furniture dealers can obtain Bank Loans below 6%. We also computed the NET Finance Charge which would be required for such independent dealers to break even while paying 6% to be $13.27 per $100. (TABLE 4)
A final factor which we have projected is the constant increase in the cost of living, which requires increased salaries. This increase may be accelerated by some pending Federal Legislation and some Federal Government Polcies. TABLE 5 projects the NET Finance Charge required if salaries and salary costs increase 10% to be $13.71 per $100.

2600

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Since our analyses show that the costs directly attributable to credit selling may fluctuate from $12.51 per $100. (which would require a rate somewhat above that figure) to $13.21 or more, we respectfully suggest to this Committee that they revise the proposed legislation to eliminate the rate limitations in Section 8.

If you feel that a rate limitation is needed, we suggest that the maximum be amended to $15. per $100. per year on so much of the principal balance as does not exceed $500; $12. per $100. per year on the portion of so much of the prin cipal balance as exceeds $500. but does not exceed $1000. and $10. per hundred per year on that portion of the principal balance over $1000.

As an alternative, some SRFA members propose a flat $12. per $100. per year rate limitation as being more simple to operate, even though it is below PRESENT COSTS.

Since the present average WITH NO CEILING PROVIDED BY LAW is $10.50 per $100. we believe that competition will continue to hold the rates well below the proposed limitation.

EXHIBIT "C"
Memorandum on Existing Georgia Interest and Usury Laws
Section 57-101. This Section establishes 7 percent per annum as the legal rate of interest and provides that any higher rate must be specified in the con tract, and in no event shall the rate be higher than 8 percent per annum. The rate of 8 per cent per annum has been construed by the courts to mean simple interest: "I charge you as a matter of law that if an individual should add the interest for the 72 months at 8 percent to the principal and cut that up into 72 monthly installments, that amounts to more than 8 percent interest and 8 percent is the highest rate of interest in Georgia. That would be usurious for the reason that the money is kept by the borrower for an average time of only 36 months, while the interest is collected on the full amount of principal for 72 months. ..." (164 Ga. 781) It should be pointed out, however, that the so-called "time price differential" is not considered interest in Georgia and is, therefore, not affected by 57-101 or the other interest and usury laws: "The law recognizes the right of a seller to make a difference in his cash price and his time price for his property and though in a given instance this difference may exceed 8 percent, the law as to usury is not applicable. ... If this was a time price trade, then Napier would have the right to sell to him for $1,250 plus 1000 percent interest and the usury law would have nothing to do with it; but if it was a cash price sale and interest was added by way of compensation for the extension of time allowed for the use of the cash consideration, then the usury statutes would apply and render the transaction void." (164 Ga. 781)
Section 57-116. The provisions of this Section "being in derogation of Sec tion 57-101 should be strictly construed. Its terms are not ambiguous and if they be given effect, the benefits of the Section can be obtained only when the entire loan is made repayable in the way provided." (185 Ga. 788) The courts have also construed this Section to mean that it covers lending money only and does not cover money due on purchase-money notes. "In the case of a loan, the lender might not be willing to part with his money except for the full period of time for which the notes were to run. Whereas, in the case of purchase-money notes, the grantor does not part with any money. In the instant case, the grantor executed a warranty deed, but he simultaneously took back a security deed there by retaining title to the property. While the transaction resulted in a debt, it was in no sense 'lending money' as authorized by the statute. Under a strict construction of the Code Section 57-116, the language which authorizes aggre gating the principal and interest in the case of loans will not be enlarged or extended so as to include money due on purchase-money notes." (198 Ga. 203)
Section 57-117. The courts have construed this Section to mean that it does

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2605

not authorize interest at the rate of 5 percent per month, but its purpose was to make it a crime to charge that rate of interest or more. Prior to Section 57-117, the sanctions for exacting usury were civil, and the purpose of this Section is merely to make extreme usury criminal. "The quotations from Section 57-117 and 57-9901, supra, are taken from the act approved August 15, 1908 (Ga. L. 1908, p. 83) entitled: 'An act to make it a misdemeanor to charge any rate of interest greater than five per cent, per month, either directly or indirectly and for other purposes.' Those two sections and section 57-102, supra, are to be construed and applied as one law. The language in the act of 1908 (Ga. L. 1908, p. 83) now embodied in the Code Section 57-9901, that it shall be a misdemeanor for any person to charge any rate of interest greater than five per cent, per month, either directly or indirectly, is wholly incompatible with a right to charge a rate of interest greater than five per cent, per month, or greater than eight per cent, per annum as inhibited by sections 57-101, 57-102, supra, and conse quently does not imply that a person may lawfully charge interest at the rate of five per cent, a month. The charge of such a rate of interest would be obnoxi ous to the pre-existing 'usury laws' (as set out in Sections 57-101, 57-102) which the said acts of 1908 as embodied in Section 57-117 and 57-9901 itself declares it was not designed to 'repeal' or 'impair'. The 'design' was still to con demn usury, and when usury reached such proportions as more than five per cent, per month, to enhance the existing penalties of civil forfeitures by adding the criminal penalty of misdemeanor, which would attach and apply to the per son of the usurer. This was recognized in King v. State, 136 Ga. 709, 717 (71 S. E. 1903), where it was said: 'Having passed a general law defining usury and providing for forfeitures and penalties for exacting it, the legislature had the further right to denounce a certain class of usurers and to make penal the exaction of interest exceeding five per cent, per month.' In Jackson v. State, 5 Ga. App. 177 (62 S.E. 726), it was said: 'The sole purpose of the act is to make it penal "to reserve, charge, or take" interest for the use of money in excess of five per cent, per month, under any contract where the relation of debtor and creditor is created or survives.'"

ADVERTISING OP SECOND MORTGAGE BROKERS

Debt Consolidation Plans Can Prove Costly

A clever scheme which offers home owners whose debts exceed their capacity to repay an opportunity to reduce the amount of their monthly payments is spreading like wild-fire throughout the United States and Canada. As security, the over-indebted home owner is required to give a second mortgage on his dwelling. The terms sound attractive until he multiplies the amount of his monthly payment by the number of months he must pay over a period of 3-5 years.

2606

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

He then discovers that he has obligated himself for a new debt up to twice as much or more than the debts he has "consolidated."

There are substantial firms and individuals engaged in the business of mak ing second mortgage loans and this bulletin is not intended as a criticism of their activities. Rather, it is intended to aid the public in obtaining necessary detailed information about all the obligations they assume in their transactions with money-finding intermediates.

The tactics employed by these advertisers are reminiscent of those used by "debt pooling" or "debt adjustment" firms whose activities have now been out lawed by legislation passed in at least 16 states and placed under a degree of regulation by other states and communities.

Published in Cooperation With the Committee on Financial Advertising Association of Better Business Bureaus, Inc.

Newspaper advertising holds forth the following lures:

HOME OWNER LOANS NEED $2,000 OR MORE? REPAY ONLY $35 MONTHLY INCLUDING INTEREST CONSOLIDATE YOUR DEBTS

Reduce Your Monthly Payments By 50% or More

LET US SHOW YOU HOW TO PAY OFF EVERYTHING YOU OWE

Yet Pay at a Rate up to 50% Lower

The principal targets for the second mortgage brokers are property owning people who have saddled themselves with heavy debt on consumer purchases. Some of the advertising refers to the financing of home improvements or the use of second mortgages for other purposes. Some home improvement companies have engaged in this type of advertising themselves. In fact, there is the case of a couple in Ohio who were offered $3,880 to pay for the installation of a recrea tion room although they already had a recreation room and none of the money would actually be spent for home improvement purposes. However, the great majority of the victims are people who have made purchases on the installment plan, often coupled with personal loans, to a degree where they find payment of the monthly installments a problem.

Individuals who respond to the advertising are offered the opportunity to "consolidate your debts" and pay them off through one loan to be secured by a second mortgage. They are told that this can be paid back over a period gen erally ranging from three to five years in monthly installments which will be but a fraction of the amount they are presently paying. They may be told the amount of interest to be paid--from six to eight per cent depending on what is

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2607

legal in a given state. Frequently, that is all they are told before they sign a contract.

MANY CHARGES INVOLVED

Many of the home owners complaining to Better Business Bureaus seem to be confused as to the amount of "interest" they are being charged on their loan. Actually, the interest rate is within legal limits. What these people do not seem to understand is that, in addition to the money they will receive, charges for various service fees also become part of the total loan. Most notable is the broker's "placement" or "money finder's" fee which can be quite substantial and may range from $500 on a $1,000 mortgage to more than $2,000 on a $5,000 loan. In addition, the second mortgage broker will frequently demand an initial deposit for investigating a loan application and this deposit is not refundable if the application is turned down.

Frequently, in addition to the original money-finder, there is another broker standing between the debtor and the ultimate money-lending institution. He too receives a fee for his services.

There may also be an appraisal fee, an attorney's fee, fees for photographs, fees for "searches," "preparation of instruments," "recordings," etc. Even if the loan itself is paid off in advance, none of these charges are refunded or pro rated. The net result is a total loan which, in most cases reported to Better Business Bureaus, is approximately double the amount the borrower received to "consolidate" his old debts.

For example, a lady in Ohio who borrowed $3,000 found herself obliged to pay back a total of $5,850 in monthly payments of $97.50 each over a five-year period. In addition to 6% interest, total settlement costs were listed as follows:

including a placement fee of $3,900, 6% interest on the face of the fiveyear loan and other charges.
An employee of an air force base in Alabama obtained $2,500 to "consoli date his debts" and make some repairs to his home; the total payment over a five-year period was $4,968.
In Maryland, a borrower of $500 became obligated to pay back $1,422 in less than two years.
A home owner in North Carolina, who borrowed $1,200 became obligated for a total payback of $2,286. Another in the same state borrowed $3,000 and in five years was to pay back $6,000.
A man in Alberta, Canada was told that he could borrow $2,000 repayable at $35 per month. It subsequently developed that the $35 monthly pay ments were for a two-year period only, following which they were in creased to $70 a month.
A couple in Ohio who wished to obtain a loan of $1,900 was required to deliver a mortgage for $3,260 plus 6% interest per year.
An elderly couple in Texas signed papers obligating them to repay a loan of $2,400 in return for $600 to pay off bills and some repairs to their home; they actually received only $300 and the repairs were never com pleted.
An Indiana debtor agreed to pay $6,952 over a five-year period for a loan of $3,800.

One company in Philadelphia has issued a chart showing that the total pay back on a $1,000 loan over a four-year period is $1,981.44, while the payback on a five-year loan for $5,000 amounts to $8,898.60.

LACK OF REGULATION
Most of these advertisers who purport to offer overburdened debtors an easy way out of their financial troubles do not lend any money themselves. The names adopted by many of the concerns suggest that they are "investment," "finance," "mortgage," or "bond and mortgage" companies. Seldom do they engage in any of these functions. They are simply brokers who arrange with other financial institutions to lend the money to the home owner. Usually this financial institution has its headquarters in a state other than that in which the property is located.
Banks, savings and loan associations, personal finance companies and most other lending institutions are governed by state laws for the protection of the public. However, second mortgage brokers are exempt from any regulatory authority in most states. Most of them are not licensed as real estate brokers or as money lending agencies. They may charge any fee they wish for arranging a loan. As noted previously, there is sometimes more than one money-finder or broker charging fees for a single transaction.
Frequently, these companies lead a precarious existence. Often they have no established office in the city or cities in which they may be operating. The only address given in the advertising may be a post office box, or a telephone

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2609

number may be listed which, upon investigation, proves to be that of a telephone answering service. Dozens of them have already ceased operations leaving a trail of overcharged victims in their wake. The fact that the company which actually lends the money may be located hundreds of miles away adds to the diffi culties of complainants in obtaining any satisfaction for their grievances.

SOME STATES TAKE ACTION

The number of these second mortgage brokers has increased enormously. In New Jersey alone, more than eighty companies have been found making shortterm loans to home owners at rates that require repayments of up to twice the amounts actually received, according to the New Jersey Real Estate Commission. Authorities in that state, where the law requires that firms arranging mort gage loans be licensed as real estate brokers, have been moving to put unlicensed companies out of business.

The Wisconsin Banking Department has ruled that the charging of a broker age fee in addition to the maximum rate of interest would be usurious under Wisconsin statutes. The Illinois Department of Financial Institutions has issued Advertising Rules to regulate this type of promotion.

In Ohio, the Better Business Bureaus have performed yeoman work in oppos ing the activities of questionable second mortgage brokers. Quo warranto petitions by prosecutors to remove the state franchises of several of the com panies have resulted in the disappearance of many of the money-finding firms. However, as the Better Business Bureau of Central Ohio stated in a recent bulletin:

"Other finders have sprung up and died swift and sudden deaths, but if the experience of the rest of the country is any indication, there will be more to come."

The second mortgage brokers have also invaded Canada where legislation has been enacted or proposed in several provinces in an effort to regulate their activities.

INVESTIGATE FIRST
In most areas, the best protection to the home owner against questionable second mortgage brokers lies in the individual's willingness and determination to investigate thoroughly before he signs any contract.
He should make inquiry of the Better Business Bureau to determine what facts they have on a particular money-finder and his methods of operation.
He should make inquiry of the financial institution that hold the first mort gage on his home. They may not be authorized to make a second mortgage loan but may be able to refinance the first mortgage or refer the customer to a reliable source of second mortgage money.
Money is generally available to overindebted home owners through legiti mate, reasonably priced channels. For example, an individual in Baltimore re-

2610

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSK

ceived a loan of $1,750 through a second mortgage broker to be repaid over a five-year period with costs, including interest, totalling an additional $1,700. According to the Baltimore Better Business Bureau, the same loan, with the same five-year repayment schedule, placed with a certain local company, would have saved the borrower more than $800.

Above all, the home owner, who is deeply in debt and desperately searching for a way out, should never sign any blank papers. He should never sign any document until he has read it carefully and is sure that he fully understands its meaning and implications. He should be sure that all fees and charges are listed and understood by him. If he is in any doubt, he should consult an attorney of his own choosing.

December 15, 1964
TO: Honorable George T. Smith Speaker, House of Representatives
and
Members of the House of Representatives
Mr. Speaker, your committee to study admissions, policies, and generally review other aspects of the University System of Georgia, wishes to present their attached report.
Your Committee surveyed the system, reviewed some of the problems con fronting the University System and personally inspected several of the college campuses.
We wish to thank the faculty and staff of all of the units of the University System, Dr. Martin and his competent staff, and the membership of the State Board of Regents for their aid in helping your Committee accomplish its mission with dispatch.
We would be amiss if we did not express our appreciation to the director of admissions throughout the University System of Georgia for their extra effort in assuring that our information was both correct and informative.
Respectfully submitted, James H. Floyd

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2611

FINDINGS

1. Admission Policies--Policies were outlined at each institution and the Committee found that in each unit of the System the criteria for admission is basically the same. Dr. John Hills has derived a formula using high school records, college board exam scores, etc., which has proved a very successful pre diction of future college success.
We find that any Georgia high school graduate with a creditable high school record and a basic desire to succeed in college level work, can find a place within the frame work of the University System of Georgia.
2. The Summer Trial Program in which the sub-normal student is allowed an opportunity to demonstrate his ability to pass college level work is most suc cessful. This program permits the student who is refused admission a "good ole American chance", even when his College Board scores or high school records are not strong enough for regular admission.
3. We find the cost per student instructed at the freshman and sophomore level in the neighborhood junior college to be substantially less than that of the resident student in our senior institutions.
4. A critical situation in student population now exists in our University System and shall from all indications become even more critical by 1970 if some relief is not available.
5. The amount of funds spent annually on student and faculty housing com pared with the amounts spent on those facilities used for academic instructional purposes are, we consider, out of proportion.
6. This committee was astounded with the fees and commissions paid to various technical people, primarily architects, in the design of buildings.
7. This committee wishes to express its concern over the evident lack of disciplinary control of the resident student body in some units of the University System, during those periods of the day normally set aside for rest and study. Library facilities are too expensive for massive study hall use.
8. Pressure by local citizens to immediately enlarge our new junior colleges to the four-year level is viewed with alarm by this committee.
9. We of the Committee found an excellent demonstration of forward thought in the DeKalb County Junior College-Vocational School combination. Here the students can be and are encouraged to cross the academic and vocational lines of instruction with ease. The adequate acreage already acquired and the future plans of this institution demonstrate a remarkable foresight into the future needs of the neighborhood Junior College, as well as the Vocational Technical School Program.
10. Georgia Southern College has shown independent initiative in their leasing of private dormitory spaces for students. The dormitories are completely under college faculty control, but are privately owned, maintained, and financed.

2612

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

We wish to commend Dr. Henderson, his faculty, and Bulloch County for their efforts in this successful venture. These buildings house approximately 670 stu dents at no cost to the taxpayer.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Admissions Policy: We recommend Dr. John Hills for the success of the present method of admission screening and recommend that the present levels set at the different institutions not be lowered. We further recommend that Geor gia citizens be given preference when an admission decision is made.
2. Summer Trial Program: We recommend that the Summer Trial Program be expanded in principal as well as in practice.
3. Housing Expenditures: This Committee recommends that no future state funds be expended for student or faculty housing in the neighborhood Junior College program.
4. Student Population Explosion: We recommend that the neighborhood Junior College program be expanded immediately in a planned and orderly manner, so as to relieve the Senior institutions at the freshman and sophomore level. We further recommend that future emphasis be placed on classroom and faculty salary expenditures rather than housing, extracurricular buildings, etc.
5. Housing Expenditures: It is the feeling of this committee that at present the State must utilize to the utmost funds available to train as many students as possible. Therefore, we again indorse the Neighborhood Junior College Pro gram with its commuting student body.
6. Fees and Commissions: We recommend that an effort be made to stand ardize the construction of future neighborhood Junior College facilities and emphasis be placed on a low ratio of dollar per student, rather than splendid exterior design. We further recommend that building plans be standardized to allow small additions or deletions to a standard basic plan and hence even the feasibility of centralized material purchasing be considered.
7. Disciplinary Control: In some institutions the committee found a definite program of curtailment of the student's free time in the event his grades fell below a certain minimum. Also the close supervision of the dormitories by faculty and/or graduate students is recommended. Existing rules, we feel,, should either be improved or up-dated where those rules are not meeting the need. We found that some rules would not be effective even if they were enforced. The Board of Regents could probably aid in the solution of this problem by adopting some basic standards for dormitory regulations throughout the System.
8. Local Citizen Pressure: This Committee recommends that the expansion of the Neighborhood Junior College Program into a community not be considered unless a minimum of one hundred acres of usable land and a projected enrollment of a minimum of 800 students be predicted within three to five years. As to the expansion of our Neighborhood Junior Colleges into four-year institutions, we feel that a projected minimum enrollment for this to occur would be 3,000 stu dents. These small junior colleges, if properly utilized, can be the salvation

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2613

of our Senior four-year institutions, and allow an expansion of our graduate research facilities.

9. Junior College-Vocational School Combinations: We recommend that the Neighborhood Junior College plans for expansion be correllated with the State Board of Education's plans for the location of Vocational-Technical Schools. A substantial savings in faculty salaries and real estate purchuases could be af fected if these schools could be built on adjoining sites.

10. Private Dormitories: Georgia Southern College has found one answer to the continuing need for dormitory construction. Georgia Southern's lead has been followed closely by the University of Georgia. We recommend that other institutions immediately investigate the possibility of private or corporate con struction of dormitory facilities available for lease.

HISTORY OF EFFORTS TO DEVELOP STONE MOUNTAIN

Stone Mountain is located in DeKalb County, Georgia, about 16 miles east of Atlanta. It is a mountain of granite and is considered one of this nation's great natural phenomena. It is two miles long, one half mile wide, and seven miles around the base. Its summit is almost 2,000 feet above sea level and about 800 feet above the surrounding plain. About 25,000,000 square feet of granite is exposed.
The north face of the mountain is almost a sheer precipice. The idea of carving a memorial on the north face was conceived in 1914. The United Daugh ters of the Confederacy were impressed with the idea and, in 1916, formed the Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial Association. This Association commis sioned Gutzon Borglum, a sculptor, to design and execute a carving on the north face of Stone Mountain as a memorial to leaders of the Confederacy.
Borglum's design envisaged a gigantic panorama of an army gathering around its leaders, the whole carving to measure about 200 feet in height and 1,300 feet in length. However, World War I intervened and actual work was not begun until 1923.
Financing of the carving was to be largely by public subscription. However, it is interesting to note that in 1924 Congress authorized the minting of Con federate Memorial half-dollars to be sold to the Memorial Association at par. The Association in turn was to sell the pieces at $1.00 and up, with the net proceeds going to finance the carving.
In 1925, a dispute arose between the Association and Borglum concerning the rate of progress. Borglum was dismissed and reportedly destroyed his carv ing models. However, there is some question as to whether the models were actually destroyed.
The Association then commissioned Augustus Lukeman to carry on the work. Lukeman had to begin a new design as he did not have access to the Borg lum models. The Lukeman design is not as elaborate as that of Borglum; it has only the figures of Lee, Davis, Jackson, and a color bearer, and Lee's horse Traveler.
Lukeman dropped beneath the Borglum carving and commenced his design. However, in 1928, Lukeman was forced to discontinue because of a lack of funds. The carving at that time consisted of a fairly completed Lee, the outline of his horse, Traveler, and a rough blocking out of the figures of Davis and Jackson.
Several times during the 1930's unsuccessful efforts were made to finance the completion of the carving. However, no additional carving was done from 1928 until 1964.
In 1940, the Governor of Georgia appointed a Stone Mountain Memorial Commission to investigate the possibility of developing the area as a State park. In 1941, the General Assembly passed the State Park Authority Act (Ga. Acts 1941, pages 257, 258). This authority was authorized to complete the Con-

2616

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

federate Memorial at Stone Mountain and to develop parks and recreational areas in connection with same.

This authority obtained options on the mountain and surrounding property and sought financial help from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. How ever, the RFC postponed action on the application because of World War II. Toward the end of the War, the authorities' options expired and were acquired by DeKalb County. The authority again attempted to obtain a loan from the RFC but the war in Korea intervened and the loan application was postponed. The Act creating this authority was repealed in 1959.

In the 1950's a group of prominent businessmen in the Fulton-DeKalb County areas banded together to purchase the mountain and surrounding ter rain with the view of completing the memorial. However, the group did not have the power of eminent domain and was unable to obtain an option on one indis pensable parcel of land. The group was successful in convincing the Governor of Georgia of the desirability and feasibility of completing the memorial and developing the area. As a result, the General Assembly of Georgia passed the Act creating the present Stone Mountain Association in 1958.

Ill
CREATION OF THE PRESENT STONE MOUNTAIN MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION
The Act creating the present Stone Mountain Memorial Association was passed at the 1958 Session of the General Assembly of Georgia (Ga. Laws, 1958, page 61). The Act contains 34 sections and is not being set out in detail. In pertinent summary the Act does the following:
(1) Creates the Stone Mountain Memorial Association as a body corporate and politic and an instrumentality and public corporation of the State with per petual existence.
(2) Provides that the membership of the Association shall be composed of the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Chairman of the Public Serv ice Commission, the Commissioner of Agriculture, and three members to be appointed by the Governor for a total of seven.
(3) Provides that the Association may adopt by-laws for its government; that four shall constitute a quorum; and that a majority vote of the quorum shall be sufficient to transact business.
(4) Authorizes the Association to acquire Stone Mountain and the sur rounding area, not to exceed 2,500 acres, at a sum not in excess of $1,500,000.00; to purchase, lease and dispose of real and personal property; to contract; to construct and improve; to borrow money and to issue bonds; to pledge property or revenue for payment of bonds; to establish rates, fees, etc.; to exercise any lawful power granted to private corporations; to do all things necessary to carry out its powers.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2617

(5) Provides for condemnation.

(6) Authorizes issuance of negotiable bonds not to exceed $2,500,000.00 to pay all or any part of cost of project, together with additional bonds not to exceed $1,500,000.00 to acquire the property.

(7) Establishes the overall purpose of the Act as being to acquire, develop, operate and maintain Stone Mountain and property adjacent thereto as a Con federate Memorial and public recreation area by means of long-term revenue bond financing.

The 1959 Session of the General Assembly amended the above 1958 Act (Ga. Laws 1959, page 333) in pertinent part as follows:
(1) Removes the restriction of land acquisition of 2,500 acres and empowers the Association to acquire Stone Mountain and such surrounding area as deemed necessary for proper development.
(2) Removes the limit of $1,500,000.00 for purchase of the mountain and land.
(3) Increases the bonding authority to $5,000,000.00.
The 1964 Session of the General Assembly again amended the original Act (Ga. Laws 1964, page 357) in pertinent part as follows:
(1) Increases the bonding authority from $5,000,000.00 to $10,000,000.00.
(2) In substance guaranteeing payment of bonded obligation by the State.

The 1963 Session of the General Assembly passed a separate Act (not an amendatory Act) authorizing the appointment of security officers to safeguard the Association's property. Such officers were given the same arrest authority as sheriffs on the premises controlled by the Association (Ga. Laws 1963, page 649).

Attention is directed to the word "Association" in the name "Stone Moun tain Memorial Association". This word could just as well have been "Authority" so that the name would have been "Stone Mountain Memorial Authority". In fact and substance, the Association is an authority although it is commonly referred to as the Association.

As a matter of interest, the method of financing the Association operations follows.

The laws of the State only authorize appropriations to be made to State entities. No direct appropriation is made to the Association as such. There exists by executive order, an organization called the Stone Mountain Memorial Com mittee to which funds are appropriated. The Committee has certain contracts with the Association under which it channels appropriated funds to the Associa tion. In substance, these funds defray operational expenses of the Association.

2618

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

In addition, the Association has certain lease agreements with the Depart ment of State Parks. Funds are appropriated annually to this Department which in turn are paid to the Association under the lease agreements. These funds are used by the Association primarily to meet bonded obligations of indebtedness.
In addition to the funds received through the Committee and the Parks Department, the Association, as operating manager of the Park, receives cer tain funds generated by the Park operations. For example, income from con cession contracts, income from concessions operated directly by the Association, income from the sale of material, etc.

IV
SCOPE OF STUDY AND INVESTIGATION
In 1958, at the time the Stone Mountain Memorial Association was created, the only developments in the Stone Mountain area were the unfinished Lukeman carving and two or three small frame buildings, housing snack bars and novelties.
Since 1958 in excess of $11,000,000.00 has been spent at the mountain by the Association. In addition, in excess of $2,000,000.00 has been invested by private interests.
The Association has acquired the mountain and about 3,000 acres of sur rounding terrain. In addition to a number of buildings, it has constructed a large 416 acre lake, several small lakes totalling 30 acres, 12 miles of paved roads, 6.9 miles of water main distribution, 2.6 miles of central sewage-main systems, 3.6 miles of roadway lighting, and 2,160 paved parking spaces.
Expenditures by the Association, from its inception in 1958 to June 30, 1964, for property and facilities, totalled $9,561,592.32. Expenditures during the same period for administration, operation, prison camp, etc., totalled $1,903,224.60. The following two pages of this report reflect a breakdown of all expenditures.
At the outset, the committee determined that it would be impractical for the committee, as a whole, to study in detail the many and varied ramifications of the Stone Mountain Memorial Association. Accordingly, the ten members were divided into five two-men teams, with each team being responsible for detailed study of the category assigned to it. The categories established for team study were: 1) Construction, 2) Carving, 3) Concessionaires, 4) Audits, and 5) Mis cellaneous. The results of the team studies are set out below:
A. Construction
Your committee, in its study of construction, has investigated the methods used by the Association to construct the facilities now at the mountain, with a view toward determining the soundness of practices following and possible irregularities. This included a detailed study of all major construction.
The committee studied the Heyman Report of 1950, the Robert and Company Report of 1959, and the University of Georgia Report of January, 1964. These reports are engineering and/or economic feasibility studies. They

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2621

were made for the apparent purpose of establishing guide lines, costs esti mates, and projected income relative to the development of the Stone Moun tain Park. A comparison of actual development with the recommendations in these reports reflects that the Association has failed to develop and follow a specific long-range program.

It is apparent to the committee that several of the major decisions as to development were made by one or two men rather than by the entire Association membership. These decisions are believed to have been based on "whim and fancy" rather than sound engineering and feasibility principles.
The attention of the Association is directed to the University of Georgia report recommending an activities analysis survey and a traffic engineering survey. It is suggested that the Association thoroughly review its current program in the light of these recommendations and arrive at a firm decision as to whether these two surveys are needed.
An analysis of expenditures reveals that the Association has paid over $500,000.00 as of June 30, 1964, to various engineers and architects. The com mittee finds that in spite of these expenditures, there has been no apparent coordination of design in building construction. This is particularly evidenced by the Marina which gives the impression of an Oriental or Polynesian decor. It is recommended that the Association review its engineering and architec tural policies with the view of establishing a coordinated program of design and insuring "value received" for future expenditures in these areas.

Three of the major construction contracts were let on a cost plus fixed fee basis rather than on the normal competitive low bid basis. These three contracts represented an aggregate expenditure of almost $3,000,000.00 and related to the following three facilities: the mountain top facility; the Plantation; and the motel.

Mountain Top Facility. The committee was informed that it was im possible to obtain competitive bids on this facility because of the unusual problems involving in building on top of a mountain of granite. The com mittee recognizes that it was probably necessary to let this contract on a cost plus basis. The records on this facility do not indicate that the Associa tion discussed this project or obtained estimates from any contractor other than the contractor that did the construction. It is entirely possbile that costs could have been lowered had the Association negotiated with several different contractors.

The mountain top facility is a beautiful structure, but what appalls the visitor is the fact that this investment of over $600,000.00 (at the time of this study) is only being partially utilized. It is hoped that the Association will make full use of this facility by the time of the official opening.

Plantation. The original concept of the Plantation was presented to the Association by Mr. Kenneth Garcia, an interior decorator; Mrs. Christine Mitchell (now Mrs. Matt L. McWhorter) ; and Mr. James Means, a resi dential architect. This concept proposed a three-structure project, financed by private individuals with the Association receiving a ground rental. How ever, the then Chairman of the Association, Mr. Matt McWhorter, developed

2622

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the present eighteen structure Plantation project and financed it with Asso ciation funds. The completed project was thereafter leased to Mrs. Mitchell and associates, for furnishing and operation purposes. The construction of this project consisted primarily of moving old buildings to the site and the restoration of same. The total cost for this project was $547,230.98, as of June 30, 1964. Records reveal that Mrs. Mitchell and associates were reim bursed the sum of $5,000.00, which they had expended in formulating their plans, prior to the time they submitted this plan to the Association. Your committee can understand that construction of a renovation and restoration nature might not lend itself to competitive bidding.
Motel. This facility was constructed under a cost plus fixed fee con tract and has involved an expenditure as of June 30, 1964, of $1,695,192.46, and is not yet fully completed. This construction has created a great deal of adverse publicity and has required a considerable amount of time for study by the committee. In its study, the committee interviewed the follow ing: members of the Association, the Association engineer, the architect, the contractor, as well as examining records of the Association. At the re quest of your committee, the State Auditor interviewed subcontractors who worked on the motel, to varify proper bidding and purchase procedures.
This study has consisted of: how this contract was originated; why the motel was built; why it was a negotiated contract; the reason for the motel being built in the particular location that it is, since that location required a great expenditure for fill and grading; determining whether due diligence was exercised by the contractor in obtaining subcontract; investigation of a report that there were other plans for a motel; study of the excessive cost of grading and fill; and how could this large an item be constructed without the members of the Association knowing about it.
The motel contract was executed by Mr. Matt McWhorter, the then Chairman of the Association, in September, 1962. However, the minutes of the Association show no reference of any type to the motel until March 11, 1963, at which time about 50% of the construction had been completed. This obviously shows that there was no formal Association decision to build a motel nor was there formal approval of the contract.
Your committee believes that there had been informal discussion among members from time to time about a motel. As a matter of fact, several members advised that they had informally voiced opposition to the Chair man on constructing a motel inside the Park.
All members serving on the Association at the time of the motel con struction, were interviewed as to their knowledge concerning this contract. All, with the exception of the Chairman, stated that they did not know the motel was being constructed until it was well under way. Records at this time show that meetings of the Association were being held at the Capitol area rather than on the site at Stone Mountain. The committee does not feel this relieved the members of their responsibility to physically inspect the property and to be at least familiar with major undertakings.

The contractor who built the motel stated to your committee that he had proposed to the Chairman, for several years, the idea of building a motel of 40 to 50 rooms outside the grounds on the main highway. He said that

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2623

he had spent approximately $5,000.00 for preliminary plans and submitted same to a national chain for a franchise, which was not granted. The con tractor and the architect both stated that cost of this construction was increased by bad weather and scarcity of skilled labor in the area at the time.

Your committee finds that construction on the motel commenced before detailed plans and specifications from the architect were available.

The files of the Association show that the architect's plans and speci fications were still being requested by the Association engineer when a great deal of construction had already taken place and that an up-to-date estimate of cost from the architect was not obtained for control of construction until the motel was approximately 70% completed and costs had already con sumed the amount of the original estimate.

Your committee's study of the various engineering reports revealed no recommendation or need for the construction of a motel in the Park. It was also established that there were no studies made to establish requirements for a motel or its economic feasibility. In addition, there was no formal approval by the Association. The conclusion is that this construction had to be based primarily upon the individual "whim and fancy" of the then Chair man, with little thought or consideration as to the amount of investment required for construction. It is further believed that the location of the motel was established in the same manner as the construction--at the direc tion of the Chairman without benefit of engineering studies.
Former Chairman MeWhorter explained to the committee that the con tract was let on a cost plus fixed fee basis because of a time element in volved. He said that the Park was scheduled for a formal opening in the Spring of 1963 and that he was informed that the highway by-pass would also be completed at that time. He considered it desirable to have the motel completed at the same time. It would have been impossible to await detailed plans and specifications, submit same to competitive bidding, and have the construction completed for the formal opening. Because of this time factor, the contract was let on a cost plus basis.
Your committee does not concur in this reasoning. It is the unanimous opinion of the committee that if a motel was to be constructed, that the contract should have been let on the sound basis of competitive bidding.

In addition, the committee finds that the execution of this contract was in violation of the 1958 by-laws of the Association in two instances:
1. Article 10 of the by-laws required that all construction work be awarded on the basis of competitive bids to the lowest and best bidder.
2. Article 7 authorized the Chairman to execute contracts in be half of the Association but only after the contracts had been approved.

The committee can find no justification for the handling of this con tract in violation of the by-laws.

2624

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Your committee obtained the assistance of the State Auditor for the purpose of investigating subcontractors and the prices charged for materials used in construction. He obtained sworn statements from the subcontractors which indicated that they bid on a competitive basis and that their trans actions were conducted in accordance with established business practices. Attention is directed to the section of this report entitled "Audits" for further elaboration on this point.

Your committee also found a number of instances where bids were obtained on a unit basis for an estimated number of units. After the con tract was let the number of units involved was materially increased, thus increasing the amount of the contract. This was particularly true in the areas of road work, fill dirt, etc. One example is the purchase order issued on grading and fill at the motel site. The original estimate was for a cer tain number of units at a total cost of $78,240.00. However, an increase in the units resulted in a final cost of $116,892.00. The extension of contracts is sometimes practical and desirable. However, same should be maintained within reasonable and realistic bounds.

B. Carving and Memorial

The present Association plans call for completion of the Lukeman carv ing on Stone Mountain and the development of a memorial beneath the carv ing.

As stated in Section II of this report, there were two unsuccessful at tempts by sculptors to carve Confederate Memorials on Stone Mountain during the 1920's. The sculptors were, first, Gutzon Borglum, and second, Augustus Lukeman, each of whom had prepared models.

In the beginning the Association recognized that previous development efforts emphasizing the memorial aspects had failed. Therefore, the Asso ciation decided to initially emphasize other phases of development and to defer the memorial aspects. This has been done as is evidenced by the present status of the overall development.

However, the Association is now giving top priority to completion of the memorial aspects. Work was resumed on the Lukeman carving on July 11, 1964, with a three year estimated projection of completion. The com mittee agrees that priority should now be given to the memorial area.

There has been some criticism both publicly and to the committee of various areas of the memorial aspect. Some believe that carving will scar the mountain and should not be attempted. Others believe that the Borglum models should be used rather than the Lukeman. Objections have been raised as to the sculptor selected and wages paid to the carvers.

Your committee has studied this area extensively. The study included a meeting with 12 independent executives in the granite industry, a review of the method used in selecting a sculptor, an interview with the sculptor, interviews with past and present employees, interviews with the carvers, examination of contracts and records pertaining ta the carving and me morial, and an on-sight inspection of the carving.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2625

Your committee has concluded the following:

1. The committee is not competent to judge esthetic values such as whether the Borglum or Lukeman model should be used; whether the best sculptor was selected, etc. However, the committee does believe that the method of selection formulated by the Association was sound and business-like. In this connection, the Association obtained the assistance of Mr. Lamar Dodd, Head of the Arts Department at the University of Georgia, in establishing a group of internationally known artists to select a sculptor. Nine sculptors submitted memorial models to be judged on a competitive basis. As a result of this competition, Mr. Walker Hancock of Boston, Massachusetts, was selected.

2. The carving is feasible and can become an accomplished fact. The latest geological survey of Stone Mountain reveals that the moun tain can be successfully carved. This is verified by the fact that some carving has already been accomplished as of the writing of this report.

3. Cost estimates appear to be well-founded. Actually, the carving is progressing faster than originally estimated and final cost might well be below the estimate.

4. The wages paid the carvers and helpers are reasonable in the absence of fringe benefits and in consideration of the danger involved. It might be noted that excellent time and cost records are being main tained.

Mr. Hancock made a most impressive appearance before the committee.
He exhibited an enthusiasm for the carving and memorial which was contageous. He remarked that no carving of this magnitude has been done in the last four to five thousand years. He initially doubted the wisdom of carv ing but said that after the heads of Lee and Jackson were cleaned that he recognized the excellence of what had been done. He predicts that the carving will become a world-wide attraction.

Your committee is unanimous in its enthusiasm over the carving. It is the committee's hope that the general public will share this enthusiasm with the end result of producing a memorial of such magnitude and beauty that it will literally become a world-wide attraction.

C. Concessionaires

The Stone Mountain Memorial Association has entered into contracts with concessionaires for the operation of a number of the facilities at the Park. These are identified as follows:

1. Berlo of Georgia, Inc.--for the sale of food and novelties.
2. William C. Gibson--for the operation of camping sites.
3. Memorial Food and Concessions, Inc.--for the operation of the restaurant in Memorial Hall.

2626

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

4. C. T. Protsman--for the lease of a collection of antique automobiles, etc. This collection is on display in the Antique Car Museum. The Museum itself is operated by Stone Mountain Foods, Inc.

5. G. A. Rilling--for the operation of the Game Ranch.

6. Stone Mountain Airways, Inc.--for the operation of a cable car lift to the top of the mountain.

7. Stone Mountain Plantation, Inc.--for the furnishing and operation of an ante helium plantation complex.

8. Stone Mountain Riding Academy, Inc.--for the operating of a rid ing academy.

9. Stone Mountain Scenic Railroad, Inc.--for the operation of a frontier type railroad trip around the base of the mountain.

10. Stone Mountain Showboats, Inc.--for the operation of a Marina embracing steamboat rides on the lake.

In some instances the major capital investment involved in the conces sion was made by the Association. In other instances the major investment was made by the concessionaire. At the time of the study, approximately $2,750,000 of private capital has been invested in the concession area. All of the concession contracts provide for percentage rental payments to the Association based on gross income. Association income from these contracts totalled $97,198.88 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1964.

Your committee finds that two of the contracts have been renegotiated providing in each instance for reduced income to the Association. The com mittee recognizes that this occurred during the period of park development and makes no comment on the equities of the matter. However, the committee recommends that in the event other contracts are renegotiated in the future in a fashion that reduces Association income, that the new contract protect the Association by restoring the lost income in the event gross receipts of the concessionaire justify the restoration in the future.

The committee has visited all of the concessions, interviewed the conces sionaires, and reviewed all contracts. In addition, an invitation was extended to all concessionaires through its Association of Concessionaires to appear be fore the committee as a whole in public session. Representatives of the rail road concession made such an appearance. The executive committee of the Association of Concessionaires further appeared in behalf of all concession
aires.

The concessionaires, as a whole, are enthusiastic about the future of the Park. Their relations with the Association and Park management are vastly improved and presently satisfactory. However, several of the concessionaires feel that they have a just grievance about certain areas of their contracts and certain business arrangements previously made with the Association.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2627

The committee finds that some of the concessionaires were informed that the Park would be officially opened as early as the Spring of 1962. The present schedule calls for an official opening in April of 1965. These conces sionaires made capital investments on the strength of an early opening. The committee recognizes that there is usually a risk in the investment of capital. However, the committee has a feeling of sympathy for the concessionaires and believes that the Association should have a similar feeling. It is sug gested that the Association consider appointing a subcommittee to afford all concessionaires an opportunity to have their grievances heard and investigated and that any inequities thereafter be adjusted.

Your committee feels that some of the concession contracts are for an excessive number of years. It is recognized that long term contracts are justi fied when the concessionaire makes a major capital investment. However, in instances where the major investment is made by the Association and only a minimum investment by the concessionaire, the contract should be of a short term nature. After such time as the Park is fully developed and an experience income factor can be reasonably determined, longer term con tracts might be reasonably justified in all instances.

It was suggested to the committe that the Association should operate all concessions rather than letting some on contract. However, the committee believes in the principle of free enterprise and private investment. It believes that concessions requiring a particular knowledge or skill for operation and appealing to limited visitors, should be operated by private enterprise; con cessions appealing to the general public and requiring no special skill should be operated by the Association. However, in all instances the Association should retain a high degree of control over the quality of the concession as one bad operation would reflect adversely on the entire Park.

There has been some critiicsm to the effect that concession prices at the Park are too high. The committee obtained a comparative list of prices charged by similar attractions throughout the country. A comparison shows that the prices at Stone Mountain compare favorably and, in many instances, are below the average.
It was reported to the committee that one of the major concessions was in severe financial distress but continued to sell stock to the "unsuspecting public". At the request of the committee the concessionaire furnished an upto-date financial statement prepared by a qualified certified public accountant. The statement reveals that the concessionaire is solvent and there is a reason able ratio between its assets and liabilities. However, this concessionaire, as well as practically all of the others, is not completely sound in so far as going business operations are concerned. This is due in part to the delay in the official opening of the Park, premature activation of concessions, the absence of a comprehensive national advertising program of the Park, and adverse criticism of the Park by news media during a critical period of operations. However, the committee believes that most, if not all, of the concessions will eventually become operationally sound.

D. Audits
The committee, in considering the matter of proper audit of funds and expenditures, decided to forgo the expense of a separate private audit and

2628

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

utilize the audits of the State Auditor and his services as well as the informa tion contained in a separate audit by the national firm of Haskins and Sells, who were in the process of complete audit at the instance of the Association.

The State Auditor has been most cooperative. He broadened the scope of his audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1964, to cover areas not normally covered, in addition, he made a comparative study of prices and purchases and obtained many statements, under oath, from persons con tracting and doing business with the Association.

The State Auditor appeared before the committee and made a general statement as to his knowledge of the affairs of the Association, after which he was questioned by members of the committee. He prepared and submitted the following quoted summary statement:

"The Auditing Department is making an audit as required by State law relative to the Stone Mountain Memorial Association. The Associa tion has retained the services of Haskins and Sells, Public Accountants, to make an audit of the Association from the time of its creation to the end of its immediate past fiscal year.

"I have questioned under oath certain officials of the Association, the contractors, subcontractors and others selling goods, equipment and materials to the Association particularly those involved in the construc tion of the motel on the property owned by the Association at Stone Mountain. These statements are sworn to and those questioned state that they were not involved in any type of conduct or dealings with the As sociation or anyone connected therewith that would be improper or illegal.

"I have compared the prices paid by the Association for goods, equipment and merchandise with the prices paid by the State Purchasing Department and find them comparatively the same.

"I have discussed the matter of the motel and other constructions and operations of the Association with the various members of the Association and have made numerous inquiries and investigations with reference to the operations of the Association.

"All of these investigations disclosed no action on the part of any member of the Association or employee of the Association which would be a violation of law.

"It is a reasonable conclusion that the Association and all those connected with the Association and those who have performed services for the Association have not committed any acts of malfeasance, misap propriation of funds or any other acts that would require adverse recom
mendations on my part."

The committee has studied all audits from the inception of the Associa tion through the Haskins and Sells audit of October 23, 1964 and has ex amined the sworn statements furnished by the State Auditor. The committee is of the opinion that whereas there are questions involving judgment as to

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2629

expenditures in several instances, no malfeasances or misappropriations of funds are indicated.

The comprehensive audit of the private firm indicated that, ending June 30, 1962, cancelled checks and supporting vouchers of the Stone Mountain Memorial Committee, in the aggregate amount of $876,383.00, could not be located at the time of their audit. Haskins and Sells' auditors further stated that they traced $294,200.00 of the above amount to the Stone Mountain Memorial Association and that the receipt thereof was traced to the accounts of the Association. The auditors examined copies of the engineers estimate upon which the remainder of payments were made including copies of vendor's invoices and certificates of completion of contracts.

Your committee, in discussing the above unfortunate circumstances with the State Auditor, was told by him that all of these checks and supporting invoices were available and checked at the time of the 1962 State Audit, and that supporting and working papers in his office indicate same.

Your committee considers that the loss of cancelled checks and supporting vouchers for the year ending June 30, 1962, as most unfortunate and indicates a degree of negligence in handling these important records. However, upon the statement of the State Auditor, the committee considers that proper accountability has been made. The State Auditor's statement is quoted below:

"I discussed with you this morning the report of an examination on the Stone Mountain Memorial Association and Stone Mountain Memorial Committee made by the firm of Haskins and Sells, with particular reference to the comment which qualified their opinion to the effect that cancelled checks and various invoices supporting disbursements by the Committee in the year ended June 30, 1962, totalling $876,383.00 were not available for examination by Haskins and Sells at the time of their audit.
"The missing documents were in the possession of the accountant for the Association, Mr. A. Q. Atkinson, at the time of the examination made by the State Auditor at the close of the fiscal year 1962, and were listed individually in the working papers which support the report of that examination.
"It is apparent that the records were lost following the audit by this Department and previous to the audit by the firm of Haskins and Sells. The records of the Association were moved from the Department of Agriculture Building to the present Stone Mountain Office during the period of time, and it is quite possible that this accounts for their loss.
"The missing documents cover payments by the Committee of $294,241.20 rental payments to the Association, $535,999.95 payment for land and buildings, $15,323.70 interest on the bank loans, and the remainder covers payments for supplies, heat, lights, water, etc.
"Each of these items was seen individually by our Examiner, and no unusual expenditure was noted. The payments include disbursements against two contracts neither of which was closed until the following

2630

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,
fiscal year. Therefore, the final records on these contracts were avail able for examination by Haskins and Sells.

"The work papers covering this examination are available to your Committee if you wish."

The following recommendations regarding audits and proper account ability of funds and records pertinent thereto made by Haskins and Sells are concurred in by the committee:
"TRUST INDENTURE
In general, greater effort should be made to see that the provisions of the Trust Indenture securing the 1962 Revenue Bonds are more closely adhered to. Specific instances of nonconformity are indicated in the report referred to above. In cases where the intent of provisions of the Trust In denture are not clear, the opinion of your attorney should be obtained.

"RECEIVING
We recommend that a receiving report form be utilized in connection with receipts of purchases and that specific individuals be assigned the re sponsibility for receiving all purchases and checking items received against those ordered, as indicated by purchase orders.

"PETTY CASH

We recommend that an effort be made to reduce the transactions through the petty cash fund maintained by the Warden at the prison by having purchases of produce and supplies billed to the Association through normal channels. The amount of this fund should then be reduced accordingly.

"INTERNAL CONTROL

Numerous instances of weaknesses in internal control were noted, gen erally due to the small number of personnel involved in accounting functions.
"It is our understanding that at least one additional person is to be employed in the accounting department in the near future. We suggest that consideration be given to assigning duties to this person with a view to achieving better internal control by proper separation of re ceiving and recording functions, etc."

E. Miscellaneous
1. Composition of the Association
As previously stated the Association is composed of four constitutional officers and three gubernatorial appointees. The committee finds that there is no direct relation between the primary functions of any of the constitu tional officers and the functions of the Association. For example, the Com-

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2631

missioner of Agriculture was elected by the people to serve in matters re lated to agriculture, not to develop memorial and recreational areas.

The committee further finds that none of the constitutional officers were contacted prior to being placed on the Association. As a matter of fact, several informed the committee that they did not even know they were on the Association until three of four days after the creating act was passed. The committee doubts the wisdom of placing constitutional officers on au thorities that are entirely foreign to the primary functions of the constitu tional office. The committee certainly questions the advisability of arbi trarily placing any such officer on any authority without first discussing the matter with the officer from a practical standpoint.

The committee has questioned numerous knowledgeable persons in the area of composition and has deliberated at great length on this subject. The majority of the persons interviewed believe that the Association as presently composed, is now functioning in a progressive, businesslike manner and that the best interests of the State would be served by leaving the Association in its present form. However, two concrete proposals as to changes have been made to the committee.

First -- that the creating act be amended to establish a five-member Association composed of the following: Director of the State Parks Depart ment; Chairman of the Board of Industry and Trade; President of the Geor gia Chamber of Commerce; and two appointees of the Governor. Your com mittee doubts the wisdom of this proposal for two principal reasons: (1) the development of Stone Mountain requires a continuity that would be lacking in such a composition as some of the offices involved fluctuate too frequently; (2) the practical problems involved that can be best expressed in the old adage of "changing horses in the middle of the stream".

Second -- the establishment of a board or commission to be responsible for the handling of the following properties: Stone Mountain Memorial Park, Jekyll Island Park, Henry Grady Hotel property, real estate in Atlanta, Chattanooga and along the route of the Western and Atlantic Railroad. The board would consist of three members elected by the General Assembly for six year staggered terms. The board would be responsible to the General Assembly, make annual reports to the General Assembly, devote full time to the job, and would be paid salaries comparable with similar positions in State government.

This proposal embraces areas outside the authority of your committee, however, the committee feels that the proposal merits basic study and recom mends the appointment of an interim study committee for this purpose.

Your committee believes that the present Association has profited from the mistakes of the past. This is illustrated by a new and more comprehensive set of by-laws, a better accounting and bookkeeping system, more business like administrative procedures, and a general overall tightening of controls. The committee feels that the present Association is capable of using its ex perience and knowledge to complete the Stone Mountain development in a satisfactory manner. In view of this the committee does not recommend any drastic changes in the Association composition. However, the committee does

2632

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

recommend that the Attorney General be removed as a member. This recom mendation deals with the office and not personalities. Under the law, the Attorney General has certain investigative responsibilities relative to agencies and instrumentalities of the State. These responsibilities include the Stone Mountain Memorial Association of which the Attorney General is a member. This places the Attorney General in the awkward position of possibly in vestigating himself and thus places him in conflicting dual roles. This con flict should be eliminated in the interests of the State and the Attorney General.

The question then arises as to a replacement for the Attorney General on the Association. This poses a critical problem and is an area in which there is a wide diversity of thought among committee members. However, the committee feels that the problem should be pinpointed for the benefit of the General Assembly. As presently composed, the four constitutional officers constitute a majority of the seven-man Association. To replace the Attorney General with a gubernatorial appointee would divert control to the four gubernatorial appointees. There is no pleasing answer to the problem. Your committee believes that the Director of State Parks is the one person in State government, whose primary functions are closely related to the Stone Mountain project. In view of this, a majority of the committee recom mends that the Attorney General be replaced by the Director of State Parks. 2. Conflict of Interest
Your committee has given consideration to allegations of a conflict of interest existing in relation to the former Chairman of the Association, Mr. Matt L. McWhorter, and a concessionaire, Mrs. Christine Mitchell (now Mrs. McWhorter); and to a member of the Association, Mr. Mills B. Lane, Jr.
Mrs. McWhorter has a contract for the operation of the Plantation at the Park. The Plantation was constructed at Association expense and fur nished by Mrs. McWhorter. The contract was entered into prior to the mar riage of Mr. McWhorter and Mrs. Mitchell. There is nothing in the contract that would indicate that Mr. McWhorter, Chairman of the Association at the time of execution of the contract did not represent the interests of the Association.

The Citizens and Southern National Bank, of which Mr. Mills B. Lane, Jr. is chief executive officer, is a depository for Association funds and trustee for bonds issued by the Association. Prior to the appointment of Mr. Lane as a member of the Association, the Attorney General ruled this not to be in conflict with the "Honesty Laws" of the State of Georgia. The office of the Legislative Counsel has participated in all hearings of this committee and has concurred in this opinion. Your committee is of the opinion that a con trary interpretation on the conflict of interest laws would severely hamper the State in utilizing many skilled and public service-minded individuals. However, because of the danger of different interpretations on this type transaction and the human possibility of a conflict of interest, great care should be taken to insure that all transactions are open, competitive, and at arms length.

3. Access Highway access to the mountain is considered to be of prime importance.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2633

Testimony before the committee, and experience by certain members, bears out the need for immediate improvement of the roads and highways to the Park. During peak periods, traffic is sometimes backed up from the Park all the way into the city of Avondale.

The primary route from the city of Atlanta is along Memorial Drive. Plans are made to widen this road and the Highway Department advises this is to be let to contract in the latter part of 1964. This time has now arrived and we see no signs of construction. Regardless of the reasons for the delay we would urge prompt completion of this project. The completion of the eastern circumferential Interstate Route 285 would alleviate part of this problem. Highway Department plans presently project this to be let to con tract by July, 1966. The investment of the Association and concessionaires in the Park and the general public's enjoyment of same demands the ex pediting of plans and construction of access routes. The committee urges top priority to this phase of the Park's development.

The Highway Department could help the Park by its cooperation in the development of a program of advertising of the mountain, within the limits permitted by State and Federal regulations, on highway directional signs. An example of this would be incorporation of signs along Interstate 20, leading into Atlanta. Federal Bureau of Roads' regulations prohibit the advertise ment of the mountain itself but the City of Stone Mountain can be given as a destination which will greatly assist in directing tourists to the area. A program of directional advertising by the Association, assisted by the Highway Department, would help take the local traffic off the already crowded access routes. An example of directional advertising, which is very effective in very good taste, is that provided by the Little White House and the Warm Springs Foundation.

4. Association Borrowing Power
Your committee's investigation revealed a large portion of the develop ment at the mountain was financed by borrowed funds from Atlanta banks in anticipation of a bond issue being authorized by the General Assembly. The Act creating the Association authorizes the borrowing of money, how ever, your committee knows of no other instance where an instrumentality of the State has made large, temporary capital improvement loans, thereby in effect pledging the credit of the State itself, in anticipation of the Gen eral Assembly subsequently making an appropriation with which to repay this loan. The effect of this is to obligate the General Assembly to appro priate funds for expenditures after they have been made rather than before they are made as is the normal procedure. By-laws of the Association reveal a quorum established at four, thereby a majority of three members could authorize an unlimited indebtedness, which would require an appropriation by the General Assembly to protect the credit of the Association. The con cept of authority or association financing of capital improvements demands legislative authority for borrowing funds; however, such authority as used in this instance, should, in the opinion of your committee, be restricted. Your committee has no doubt that the Association had been promised an appropriation for a bond issue with which to develop the Park, from those normally in a position to make such a promise; however, the borrowing of money, its repayment contingent upon this promise being fulfilled, is con trary to your committee's concept of legislative appropriation of funds.

2634

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Your committee as individual members of the General Assembly will assume the responsibility of having participated in the appropriation of funds on which the latest bond issue was authorized, a portion of which was used to repay a loan, and should have been more critical at that time and de manding of a clearer and more precise program of expenditures of the Association.

5. Admission Charge

Even though your committee considers it to be an administrative deci sion, it has been asked by the present Association to include in its study the question of whether or not an admission charge should be made to the Park. Numerous and varied opinions have been advanced with the majority be lieving that some nominal charge should be made. Your committee agrees with the majority for the following reasons:

a. Those using the Park should share to some extent in the cost of its operation.

b. It would provide a means of control and policing of the Park,

c. It would provide statistical data.

To encourage large numbers to visit the Park it would seem that a pelvehicle charge should be made with no regard to the number of occupants. Consideration should also be given to selling annual stickers for automobiles to accomodate those in the Stone Mountain area who desire to visit the Park frequently. The cost per car or per year should be reasonable and not pro hibitive.

Your committee is confident the members of the Association are capable of making the right decision about this matter and feel that if the same remains flexible to meet varying times and conditions, it will meet with public approval.

6. Attendance at Official Meetings of the Association

Attendance by the members of the Association at the regular meetings has been varied from very good to very poor. During the critical period of development and the period primarily under investigation by your committee, there seems to have been an assumption of authority on the part of the Chairman and the General Manager to proceed with development in the way that they thought best. The Association meetings during that period were more in the nature of progress report meetings than planning future activi ties. The practice of approving expenditures after they had been made rather than projecting them in the future appears quite frequently. From testimony before the committee it seems that certain members of the As sociation would assume certain projects and the other members devoted little or no attention to this phase of the work. Your committee recognizes that members of the Association had other duties which demand their time and attention, however, the magnitude of this project deserved more attention than given by the majority of the Association members. The assignment of projects to separate members might be an acceptable method, if the members

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2635

were attending the regular monthly meetings and these meetings were de voted to planning the particular projects; however, in most instances the work was already irrevocably begun before the Association acted. Your committee is pleased to report that its investigation reveals this procedure to no longer exist and attendance at meetings of the Association during the time of this investigation has been very good.

7. Use of Prison Labor
Shortly after the Association was created, it made arrangements for the use of prison labor. A State Prison Camp is now located in the Park. It appears to your committee that much useful work has been performed with prison labor and the location at the Park of the camp has proven to be a great asset in its development. There are many items of development which are adaptable to the use of such labor. There are sound arguments both for and against a continuation of the prison camp. The Association is presently maintaining an accounting system with a view of phasing-out the camp on economical considerations. The committee believes the camp should be dis continued if and when its use becomes uneconomical.
The recent report of the State Auditor and the studies of your com mittee have revealed that no cost accounting is maintained on the work per formed by the prisoners, and no capital values can be placed on the par ticular projects constructed by them. This deficiency should be corrected.
8. Rubble
Records of the Association reveal bids were taken and a contract issued to Shepard Construction Company for removal of rubble from the base of the mountain within the memorial area. This contract was executed before plans for the use of the area were fully developed. To this date detailed plans for the development of this area have not been made. Your committee considers this contract to have been grossly premature -- a further example of letting contracts without proper planning. This contract should be re considered and voided if legally possible. If the removal of this rubble ap pears necessary this seems to be a project that might be readily adaptable to convict labor, provided the camp has not been eliminated by that time.
9. Sale of Real Property
An analysis of the Act creating the Association, together with the by laws reveals that three of the Association members could conceivably sell all or any part of the Stone Mountain property. This results from the fact that three constitute a majority if only four (a quorum) or five members were present at a meeting. It is inconceivable that any three might assume this authority. However, sound business procedures at the State level dictate that the Act be amended to provide that none of the Association real prop erty can be sold without prior legislative approval.

2636

RECOMMENDATIONS
Your committee realizes that it occupies the position similar to a "Mon day morning quarterback"; however, it feels it has been able to look at the overall project with an objective eye and, as such, makes the following recom mendations:

1. The composition of the Stone Mountain Memorial Association re main as at present except that the Attorney General be replaced. A majority of the members of this committee recommends this position be filled by the Director of the State Parks Department.
2. That State purchasing procedures be used as a guide in making purchases and contracting.

3. The members of the Association and all of its employees should make certain that they not be placed in the position of having a conflict of interest and, in cases of doubt, that they remove themselves from this possibility by whatever means necessary.
4. If the Association determines a renegotiation of concession contracts is in order, the term of years be less than provided in the present contracts. If reductions are made in compensation to the Associa tion by reason of economic or similar conditions, that provision be made for an increase, should these conditions correct and justify an increase.
5. If an admission charge is made at the gate for entrance to the Park, that the same be nominal with the charge being placed on the vehicle rather than on the individual visitor to the Park.

6. That the Act creating the Association be amended in such a way as to prohibit the borrowing of money on a temporary basis for capital improvements.
7. That the State Highway Department expedite programs that will improve access to the Park.
8. That the prison camp be eliminated when it appears its continuance is uneconomical. In the meantime, all purchases made for or by the camp and all sales of scrap or other material should be recommended and controlled by the Association.

9. The Association through its attorney, should reconsider the con tract with Shepard Construction Company for removal of the rubble at the base of the mountain.
10. The Association should review the engineering and economic feasi bility studies which have already been made with a view towards establishing a firm construction guide for the continued development

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2637

of the Park. It should review the past expenditures for engineering services as well as their present expenditures to establish better utilization of the engineering studies, and provide for better coordi nation of activities. Particular attention is directed to the economic study furnished the Association by the University of Georgia recom mending the urgent need for an activities analysis survey and traffic engineering study.

11. Amend the Act creating the Association to require legislative ap proval for the sale of real property.

IN CONCLUSION

The 1964 Session of the General Assembly authorized the sale of $5,000,000.00 additional bonds. These bonds have been sold at a favorable interest rate. Of the $5,000,000.00 received, approximately $1,500,000.00 was used to defray debts incurred as a result of the 1962 construction program. The Association currently has on hand approximately $3,500,000.00 for new con struction and development. The Association has prepared a development pro gram known as "Second Phase Development" projecting the capital ex penditure of the funds on hand.

The committee in its assignment was impressed with the worthiness of the State project and Park at Stone Mountain. It is the opinion of the com mittee that, with careful and proper development and with the vigilance of the members of the Association, this can truly be an attraction without parallel in the South. Here we have a unique, natural phenomenon, near a great city, coupled with a cause memorial, recreation potential and the larg est carving from the face of a mountain since the Egyptian carvings of centuries ago, that blend together to make a challenge and great opportunity for the State. Your committee observes many constructive improvements in both management and operation initiated by the Association during the time of this investigation.

In interviewing and questioning a very large number of people in the course of this investigation, not once did any of those interviewed voice doubt concerning the worthiness, possibilities and potential of the Park.

The committee would wish in some way to express and convey its faith in this State project and enjoin all concerned to regroup and move in positive effort toward making this the South's greatest attraction and memorial.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

EXTENT OF STUDY AND FINDINGS:
The Committee first familiarized itself with the Resolution creating the Committee to Study Industrial Safety. The Committee determined that the purposes of the Resolution were to study the problems of industrial safety and industrial accidents and to seek ways and means of promoting and insuring maximum safety for all workers at whatever endeavors they were engaged. The Chairman advised the members of the Committee that pursuant to the terms of the Resolution the Committee was limited to twenty (20) working days per member and that the Resolution required the Committee to complete the report of its findings and recommendations, together with proposed legislation, on or before December 1, 1964.
The Committee then directed its attention to ascertaining the laws of the State of Georgia and rules and regulations adopted pursuant to such laws relative to the purposes for which the Committee was created. The Committee ascertained that the primary responsibility of enforcing the laws of the State of Georgia relating to safety of employees is vested in the Department of Labor .
The present Department of Labor was created by an Act approved March 25, 1937 (Ga. Laws 1937, p. 230). There have been several amendments to the Act creating the Department of Labor. The Department of Labor is the successor to the former Department of Industrial Relations and its predecessor, the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor. The Department of Labor is under the supervision and jurisdiction of the Commissioner of Labor. Enforcing the laws pertaining to labor (other than Workmen's Compensation) as enumrated in Title 54 of the Georgia Code is a statutory duty of the Commissioner. The laws relative to safety of employees is administered by a Division within the Department of Labor known as the Commissioner's Office and Inspection Division.

A portion of the major duties assigned to the Inspection Division of the Department of Labor are as follows:
(a) Inspect all places of employment and enforce all labor laws pertaining to child labor, safety and sanitation;
(b) Set detailed standards for safe and healthful practices and other employ ment conditions that cannot be minutely prescribed by law but must be promul gated by rules and regulations;
(c) Mediate, conciliate and arbitrate industrial disputes;
(d) Enforce the laws of the State of Georgia regulating private employment agencies;
(e) Enforce an Act approved March 7, 1960 (Ga. Laws 1960, p. 181) per taining to high voltage which provides for the precautions to be taken in the proximity of high voltage lines for the prevention of death and injury to persons and damage to property;
(f) To enforce an Act approved March 24, 1933 (Ga. Laws 1933, p. Ill) providing safeguards for workmen on building construction and to regulate

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2641

scaffolding, pulleys, hoist and other equipment used in construction in counties having a population of 200,000 or more.

The State Comptroller General in his capacity as the State Fire Safety Commissioner enforces the fire safety laws of the State of Georgia and he has the power to make rules and regulations to effectively carry out such enforce ment. Many of these laws are directly related to employment safety.

The new Health Code adopted at the 1964 Session of the General Assembly of Georgia, approved March 18, 1964 (Ga. Laws 1964, p. 499) authorizes the Department of Public Health of Georgia to conduct programs relating to industrial hygiene, control of ionizing radiation, air pollution, occupational health, water quality and planning and development of water resources. Many of the provisions of the Health Code and rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto are also directly relating to employee safety.

The Georgia Public Service Commission also administers laws and rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto which in their enforcement contribute to the safety of employees of the for-hire trucking industry in Georgia.

There are other laws and rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to such laws that are administered and enforced by the several departments of the State of Georgia which were not enacted for the purpose of industrial safety, but in their enforcement, many employees of the State of Georgia are benefited.

The Committee ascertained that the Department of Labor requested a budget for the Commissioner's office and Inspection Division in an amount of $200,000.00 for the 1963-64 fiscal year and $225,000.00 for the 1964-65 fiscal year, but were only appropriated the sum of $175,000.00 for each of the two fiscal years and that the budgetary requirement of such appropriation required the appropriated funds to be allocated as follows: personal services, $133,349.00; operation ex penses $37,278.00; for each of the two fiscal years.

The Committee also ascertained that there was no department or agency in the State Government for which statistical data could be obtained relative to industrial accidents, their costs and causes. The State Board of Workmen's Compensation is presently engaged in the establishment and installation of a comprehensive statistical division which is supposed to be in full operation by June 1, 1965. This division will maintain statistical data relative to accidents that are required by law to be reported to the State Board of Workmen's Com pensation.

The Committee also obtained copies of laws relating to industrial safety and rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto from the State of Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Also during the several hearings held by the Committee, the Committee was apprised of certain laws of the other states. The Committee also learned that there were Federal laws and regulations in which certain measures relating to industrial safety were administered and enforced.

During its deliberations, the Committee invited Federal officials from the Interstate Commerce Commission. The Committee members were informed as to what Federal laws, rules and regulations extended to interstate commerce.

2642

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Officials of the Department of Public Health, the office of the State Fire Safety Commissioner, the Georgia Public Service Commission, the Department of Labor and the State Board of Workmen's Compensation appeared before the Commititee and gave testimony and supplied pertinent information relating to their jurisdiction in the administration of industrial safety and related laws.

Many officials form labor and labor organizations and associations and management and management organizations and associations attended public hearings held by the Committee and informed the Committee as to their position relative to the industrial safety laws of the State of Georgia and current safety practices and conditions prevalent in Georgia industries.

Recognized specialists in the field of industrial safety voluntarily appeared before the Committee and gave testimony and information to the Committee relative to industrial safety in the industries of Georgia.

The Committee learned that within the State Government there is no statistical data available from which the cause, frequency and manner of all industrial accidents could readily be ascertained. The Committee further found that the laws of the State of Georgia and the rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto are administered principally from an inspection and enforce ment standpoint, and that there is no coordinated educational or preventive program carried on in the field of industrial safety by any of the departments or agencies of the State charged with the same.

The Committee did not attempt to confine its studies to any one particular group of industries. The Committee attempted to ascertain whether or not additional laws were needed relative to industrial safety in a broad sense rather than confining its study to a particular group of industries or a particular field of industrial safety.

The Committee found that some employers were not fully covered by the industrial safety laws of the State of Georgia. Among the employers not fully covered are: railroads and public and private utilities. It was also found that other aspects of industrial safety were not presently covered by Georgia laws or regulations such as: (a) the construction, installation, inspection and operation of boilers and pressure vessels, (b) the operation of truck fleets other than those for-hire, and (c) the intrastate transportation of explosives and other cargo hazardous to the vehicle operator and the public.

The Committee determined that many of the labor associations and organi zations, management associations and organizations and management themselves carried on safety programs independent of that resulting from the administering of the laws of the State of Georgia by the officials charged therewith.

The Committee also determined that the purposes for which it was created were so broad in scope and extensive that it would be impossible to compre hensively study the same and make recommendations relative to possible legisla tion during the short time which the Committee was authorized to be in existence.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2643

RECOMMENDATIONS:

After careful study and deliberations, the Committee strongly recommends and urges the following:

(1) That the 1965 General Assembly create another Committee to continue the study of industrial safety; it being apparent to the present Committee that the purposes for which the Committee was created are too broad in scope to make a through study and to adequately make detailed recommendations includ ing recommendations of needed legislation.

(2) That the budget authority and the Department of Labor make a com prehensive study as to whether or not the funds presently being requested and the funds being recommended by the budget authority are sufficient to administer and enforce the present laws relative to industrial safety.

(3) That any Committee subsequently created to study industrial safety be specifically authorized:

(a) To further consider the need for legislation regulating the construction, installation, inspection and operation of boilers and pressure vessels;

(b) To determine whether or not the laws of the State of Georgia relative to industrial safety are adequate, and if such laws are not adequate, that such Committee be authorized to recommend how the present laws should be amended and what new legislation is needed in order to have an effective industrial safety program in the State of Georgia that can be administered from a State level;

(c) To determine if the present laws of the State of Georgia are administered so that all covered employees in the State are protected;

(d) To determine what fields of industry are not presently covered by laws requiring industrial safety and that such Committee be authorized to recommend amendments to existing pertinent laws and to recommend such new legislation as will be necessary to effectively protect all industrial employees in the State of Georgia.

(4) That consideration be given by the executive authority of the State to the establishment of an annual Governor's Industrial Safety Conference with emphasis to be placed by the Conference on citations to both industry and labor for outstanding achievements in the field of industrial safety.

The Committee wishes to express its appreciation to all those who appeared before the Committee to express their views relating to industrial safety. The Committee would also like to express its appreciation to the officials of the other States that have furnished information to the Committee relative to the purposes for which it was created. The Committee was gratified at the interest shown by all those who appeared before it.

The Committee expresses its appreciation to the Staff of the Office of Legislative Counsel for its most able assistance.

2644

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

The information compiled by the Committee, including recorded testimony of witnesses, has been left with the Legislative Counsel for use by any Committee subsequently created to study industrial safety.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE APPOINTED UNDER HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 110 SUBSTITUTE--(ROLL CALL MACHINE)
This Committee was appointed by the Speaker under the above Resolution for the purpose of studying the feasibility and advisability of amending the Rules of the House of Representatives so as to provide that the electric roll call machine shall have incorporated thereon a device whereby the total number of votes being cast shahll be indicated but shall not divulge the manner in which the members are voting on any question until the machine has been locked. The Committee was authorized to investigate the cost of such apparatus, its mechanical feasibility and the advisability of installing such a system.
Honorable Harvey Jordan, Representative from Calhoun County, was appointed by the Speaker as a member of this Committee. However, due to circumstances beyond his control he was unable to attend any of the three meet ings of this Committee. Therefore, the findings of this Committee have not been submitted to Honorable Harvey Jordan prior to forwarding copies to the members of the House.
The Committee investigated the machine from its original installation, which was in 1955 at an original cost to the House of Representatves of $35,500.00. The first annual rental of the machine thereafter was 7,500.00 up to January 1, 1963. Thereafter the annual rental of the machine was raised to $10,000.00 per annum. This information is included in this report for the members of the House, as the Committee feels that very few, if any, of the members of the House have any knowledge of the cost of the machine orginally and annually.
This Committee met with Mr. Marshall P. Thompson, President of Interna tional Roll Call Corporation, the owner of the machine, and explained to him the intent of the Resolution and the changes which were proposed by the signers of the original Resolution filed in the House. Mr. Thompson advised the Committee that he would investigate the cost, the feasibility, and advise this Committee of same. He was requested to determine if the changes under consideration were made, if same could be done during the two-week interim while the Appropria tions Committee was studying the appropriations Bill. As of this date, this Committee has not received any written report from the International Roll Call Corporation. However, Mr. Thompson advised this Committee that it was his feelings that a board could be placed in the front of the chamber at the Clerk's desk which would indicate the number of members not voting as each vote was taken rather than indicating the number of members voting. His explanation to this Committee was that the machine already recorded the number of members not voting and that it would be a simple matter to install an electrical device whereby the number of members not voting could be shown to the House as the vote was taken. He also stated to us that it was his opinion that a simple breaker switch could be installed whereby the lights on the board would not indicate how anyone had voted until the machine was locked, at which time the board would then indicate how each member had voted as it now does.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2645

This Committee has contacted Mr. Thompson today by telephone, and he advised us that if certain electrical circuits were already installed in the machine, that the cost of making the changes required would be approximately $675.00. He also advised this Committee that if these circuits were not available, it would require additional wiring which would cost approximately $7,000.00. The undersigned members of this Committee unequivocally recommend to this House that if it is ascertained that the circuits are available on the existing machine whereby the changes as above set out can be made for a cost not to exceed $675.00, that said changes be made as soon as time will permit, and that the rules of the House be changed to provide that said machine shall be altered accordingly.

This Committee also recommends that if additional wiring is required and same can be done for a cost not to exceed $10,000.00, that same be done as soon as time will allow.

We fell that if the changes recommended can be made, it will contribute greatly to the independence of the House of Representatives.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

INTRODUCTION

During the past year, the Georgia Commission on Interstate Cooperation has concerned itself primarily with a study of the effectiveness of the interstate programs in which Georgia is already participating. In studying these porgrams, the following questions, among others, were considered by the Commission:

1. What were the purposes for which the program was originally set up and what are its major provisions?

2. What benefits have accrued to the State of Georgia and the other member states as a result of their participation in the program?

3. What problems, if any, have been encountered which hamper the full effectiveness of the program and what corrective measures are indicated?

Through the consideration of these questions, the Commission hoped to gain a better understanding of the nature and operation of interstate programs in general, as well as the particular programs studied.

While studying the interstate programs in which Georgia is participating, the Commission decided that a valuable contribution to understanding how effectively they were working could be made by arranging to have officials who actually administer the programs appear before the Commission and review the progress that has been made through Georgia's participation in them. The Commission realized, however, that because of the time element and other con siderations, it would be impracticable to attempt to review all interstate programs in which Georgia participates. As a result, the Commission selected for review five interstate programs in which Georgia has been a participant for several years, since it was felt that our longer experience in these programs would provide more information as to how interstate programs work and the problems that might be encountered in their operation.

In putting this plan into effect, the Commission arranged to have officials who are directly involved in the administration of the interstate programs select ed for review speak at a meeting of the Commission which was held on May 5, 1964, at the Atlanta Biltmore Hotel. The Commission was very fortunate in gaining the cooperation of the following eminently qualified officials to discuss the interstate programs indicated:
1. Mrs. Amber Anderson, Assistant Solicitor General, Atlanta Judicial Circuit, "The Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act".

The presentation made by each of the speakers is set forth on the following pages. In the case of the "Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act", presented by Mrs. Amber Anderson, and the "Interstate Compact for the Supervision of Parolees and Probationers", presented by Mrs. Rebecca Garrett, this report attempts to summarize the remarks made by each speaker from notes taken at the May 6th meeting, supplemented by an examination of the Acts allowing Georgia's participation in these programs. In the case of the "Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Compact", the Commission was very fortunate in having two speakers, and the presentation of that Compact in this report is a combi nation of a summary of the remarks made by Mr. Ernest Mitts taken from notes made at the meeting and several substantially direct quotations taken from a written summary of the remarks made by Mr. David Gould which he made available to the Commission. In the case of the "Civil Defense Compact", presented by Mr. Jack Grantham, and the "Southeastern Forest Fire Protection Compact", presented by Mr. Ray Shirley, this report reproduces the presenta tions made by both these gentlemen from written copies of their remarks which they made available to the Commission.

Following each of the interstate programs presented, the citations to the Georgia Laws involved have been supplied along with certain remarks for clarification where necessary. These citations have been included in the event members of the General Assembly wish to familiarize themselves with more of the details of these interstate programs.

Immediately following the presentation of the five interstate programs, a section has been included setting forth certain general observations and con clusions which the Commission believes to be indicated by Georgia's experience with these interstate programs.

The Commission would like to express its sincere appreciation to the speakers for contributing their valuable time and for their expert presentation of the purposes and operation of these important interstate programs. The Commission also expresses its appreciation to Mr. Herb Wiltsee and Mr. Joe Moylan of the Southern Office of the Council of State Governments for their very able assistance in helping to coordinate the program presented at the May 5th meeting.

"THE UNIFORM RECIPROCAL ENFORCEMENT OF SUPPORT ACT"

A Summary of the Presentation Made by Mrs. Amber Anderson, Assistant Solicitor-General, Atlanta Judicial Circuit.

The Act was originally passed in order to secure the support of dependents regardless of state lines. Georgia was the 40th or 41st state to adopt the Act when it originally passed in 1951, and now all states have adopted substantially the same Act. Enforcement of support was much more difficult before passage of the Act, particularly when different states were involved, because it was

2648

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

then necessary to bring an action to secure support in the county where the dependents, usually children, were located. When the defendant was located in another state, it was then necessary to go through an extradition procedure in order to bring him into the dependent's county where the action had been initiated and where jurisdiction could be exercised over him. This procedure was expensive and time-consuming and often had effect of precluding successful enforcement of support.

Under the provisions of this Act, a dependent, or someone acting in his behalf, may petition the solicitor-general of the county where he resides to aid him in securing support. After obtaining the necessary information from the dependent, including, among other things, the location of the defendant if known, the solicitor-general will send this information to his counterpart in the county where the defendant is located, regardless of the state which might be involved, and the solicitor-general who receives the information will bring the necessary action to secure support of the dependent in accordance with the laws of the state. The Act also has a provision whereby the same procedure is followed between different counties of the same state, which has also contributed to more efficient and successful enforcement of support.

As this state and others have gained experience under the Act, the success in securing enforcement of support has steadily increased. The main problem encountered in the operation of the Act has been a lack of interest or time on the part of solicitors-general or their counterparts in the responding states which has led to considerable delays in securing support for dependents in many instances. In short, once the necessary information is sent to the solicitor-general of the county where the defendant is known or thought to be located, it is then up to him to pursue the matter in order to bring it to a successful conclusion. If he does not have sufficient interest in the problem or does not have the time to handle the matter as it is presented to him, then the solicitor-general of the county of the initiating state is severely handicapped in his efforts to help the dependents. While the degree of cooperation and prompt handling of cases still varies from state to state and from one jurisdiction to another within states, the Act is working relatively smoothly and effectively at the present time, and no corrective legislation or other measures seen to be indicated.

The following figures for the year 1963 for Fulton County provide an insight into the amount of activity taking place under this Act, and also indicate the degree of results achieved.

The Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act has been of considera ble benefit to the citizens of Georgia and to citizens of other jurisdictions in helping to secure support of dependents who might otherwise have had no choice other than public welfare assistance. The operation of this Act is almost entirely a matter of local effort, and the various solicitors-general of Georgia and the other states are the backbone of this particular interstate program. It is anticipated that the operation of the Act will become still more efficient and effective as the various states continue to gain experience under it.
*****
As originally passed by Georgia, this Act was known as the "Uniform Support of Dependents Act" (Ga. Laws 1951, p. 107). In 1956, the "Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act" was adopted (Ga. Laws 1956, p. 703) and the original 1951 Act was repealed. In 1957, the 1956 Act was amended by adding an enacting clause and making other clarification changes (Ga. Laws

2650

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

1957, p. 291). Finally in 1958 (Ga. Laws 1958, p. 34, Ga. Code Anno. Chap. 99-9A) the Act under which the State is now operating was adopted and the previous acts were repealed. Although some changes have been made, the existing law is substantially the same as the original Act of 1951. One of the more important changes from the standpoint of the effectiveness of the Act in the State of Georgia was the provision which allows a fee of $50.00, upon the successful conclusion of the case, for the solicitors-general for representing plaintiffs in any proceeding under the Act. This provision was first included in the 1956 version of the Act.

CIVIL DEFENSES MUTUAL AID COMPACTS

Presentation Made by Mr. Jack L. Grantham, Deputy Director, Civil Defense Division, Georgia Department of Defense

Realizing that disasters, either man-made or natural, recognize no boundaries, and that in the event a situation was serious enough to require assistance across state boundaries, acting for the State of Georgia, Governor Herman E. Talmadge and Civil Defense Director Ernest Vandiver entered into Mutual Aid Compacts with adjacent states on the following dates:

Tennessee Alabama Florida South Carolina

October 18, 1951 July 18, 1951
October 17, 1951 April 30, 1952

The purpose of these compacts is to provide mutual aid between the states in meeting any emergency or disaster created by enemy action. The prompt, full and effective utilization of resources of the respective states, including resources from the United States Government, or any other source essential to the safety, care and welfare of the people. The major provisions include:

1. Formation of a committee composed of the State Civil Defense Directors to take all steps necessary for the implementation of the plan.
2. Provides for free exchange of information and plans, including in ventories of materials and equipment available to civil defense.

3. Provides for uniformity of practices, rules and regulations with reference to identification, mobilization of forces, warnings and signals, the action of utility departments in operating and controlling their services.
4. Provides for the exchange of equipment, materials and manpower.
5. Provides for the movement or cessation of movement of pedestrians and vehicles prior to, during and after emergencies.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2651

6. Provides for the safety of public meetings or gatherings.

7. Provides for the use of mobile support forces.

8. Allows for support to the adjacent state only to the extent that it does not jeopardize the supporting state's resources to meet its own problems.

9. Provides that each party state shall extend to the civil defense forces of any other party state, while operating within its state limits under the terms and conditions of this compact, the same powers (except that of arrest unless specifically authorized by the receiving state), duties, rights, privileges and immunities as if they were performing the duties in their own state.

10. Provides for all units to be under the command and control of their own leaders but the organizational units will be under operational control of civil defense authorities of the receiving state.

11. Provides for the recognition of duly licensed practitioners in pro fessional and mechanical skills by the receiving state.

12. Provides that no party state or its officers or employees rendering aid to another state pursuant to this compact shall be liable on account of any act or omission in good faith on the part of such forces while so engaged, or on account of the maintenance or use of any equipment or supplies in connection therewith.

13. Provides for a common broad base element for implementation in various party states and allows for supplementary agreements.

14. Provides for compensation of injuries and death benefits.

15. Provides for reimbursement by the state receiving aid, for items such as loss or damage to, or expense incurred in the operation of any equipment answering a request for aid unless otherwise set forth in supplemental agreements--it also provides for reimbursement for transportation, subsistence and maintenance expenses and makes it possible to pay fair and reasonable compensation for the use or utilization of the supplies, materials, equipment or facilities so utilized or consumed.

The compact plans for orderly evacuation and reception of the civilian population as the result of an emergency or disaster, such plans will include the manner of transporting such evacuees, the manner in which food, clothing, housing and medical care will be provided.

Under the compact the committee may request the United States Office of Civil Defense to act as an informational and coordinating body and repre sentatives of the United States Government may attend committee meetings. These compacts became operational immediately upon being entered into and were ratified by the Congress of the United States.

2652

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The compacts may be broken by either party upon thirty (30) days notice to the Governor, however, they have remained intact since they were written.

If any part of the compact is ruled unconstitutional, the remainder con tinues in effect.

They are signed by the Governor and the Civil Defense Director of each state and attested to by the Secretary of State.

Since these compacts apply only to emergencies and due to the fact that this area has been extremely fortunate in avoiding disasters of the magnitude requiring out-of-state assistance, just what contribution has been made to other statss and to the State of Georgia would be difficult to state. It is, however, reassuring to know that these compacts exist for any eventuality. The party state civil defense directors meet frequently to discuss plans and operations, and I feel would be quite capable of doing a most effective job if they were called upon.

As for operational problems, frequent exercises are being conducted and coordinated by the Regional Office of Civil Defense. These allow for training of personnel and testing of equipment. Communications capability is becoming increasingly better between state agencies across state boundaries and this alone will improve the program immensely.

It is felt that since we have compacts with all adjacent states except North Carolina that we should pursue plans for finalizing this agreement as soon as possible.

We do not feel that it would be necessary to extend this coverage beyond the adjacent states.

In our opinion this is a worthwhile program that in an emergency would manifest itself in many ways through continued close scrutiny, testing and retesting, in order that it can be updated with the changing trends of methods of survival. It offers the ties that may some day be he means of saving the lives of a great many who may otherwise not pass our way again.

The authority for entering into mutual aid compacts for civil defense is included in the "Georgia Civil Defense Act of 1951" (Ga. Laws 1951, p. 224). The particular provision may be found in Section 8, p. 231 of the Act under the heading "Mutual Aid Arrangements" (Ga. Code Anno. Sec. 86-1808).

THE SOUTHEASTERN INTERSTATE FOREST FIRE PROTECTION COMPACT
Presentation Made by Mr. Ray Shirley, Director, Georgia State Forestry Commission
I am honored to appear on the Commission's program today to discuss the Interstate Forest Fire Protection Compact, its purpose and some of its contri butions, as well as the problems which have been encountered.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2653

The Compact came into being as a result of the heavy economic losses resulting from forest fires throughout the South and particularly occurring between 1930 and 1952. These fires brought about the recognition of the need for better coordinated or intensified action in fire prevention and suppression. Progress made during the period had been fair, but very gradual. Still, today we have a number of states in the South with fire protection progBams below the level to provide adequate fire protection during normal fire periods. When emergency conditions exist, brought about by extended periods of combined drought, high winds, low humidity, the forest fire occurrence increases, fire travels faster, are more difficult to control, and supervision, equipment com munications and other factors of a state's facilities are often times inadequate to handle the situation. In these cases, outside aid is sorely needed.
In recognition of the factors involved and the need that existed, represenatives of eight southern states held an exploratory meeting in Biloxi, Mississippi, in May of 1953 during the Southern Regional Conference of the Council of State Governments. This resulted in a follow-up meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, in October of 1953, which was called by the Tennessee Commission on Intergovern mental Cooperation and the Council of State Governments. At this conference were state foresters, legislators, attorneys general, and other officials from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Caro lina and Tennessee. As a result of this meeting, the eight states in attendance adopted a Resolution that Congress be urged to consent to the formation of the Southeastern Interstate Forest Fire Protection Compact between the interested states. They also agreed to invite Virginia and West Virginia to join the Compact.
The Compact was given Congressional approval in 1954 by Public Law No. 536 83rd Congress and included Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. A similar compact known as the Northeastern Compact was established in 1949. Also, the South Central Compact was approved by Congress in 1954, and the Middle Atlantic Compact in 1956.
The organizational meeting of the Southeastern States Forest Fire Compact Commission was held in Atlanta, Georgia, in October of 1954. The status of the Compact was reviewed by the Council of State Governments, and at that time only the States of Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi and South Carolina had ratified the Compact.

The purpose of the Compact is to promote effective joint prevention and control of forest fires by integrated planning, training and the maintenance of adequate forest fire fighting services by the member states; to provide mutual aid in fighting forest fires among the member Compact states of the region and with states that are party to other regional forest fire protection compacts; to encourage and promote more adequate forest protection among the states. The Compact becomes operative as each member state becomes a party to the Compact subject to approval by the Legislature of the member states.

In each state, the state forester or official holding an equivalent position acts as compact administrator for the state and consults with like officials of other member states to implement the cooperation needed to carry out the Compact. Each member state has an advisory committee to the compact admini strator, and each member state has one member of the Senate and one member

2654

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

of the House of Representatives who are designated by the state's commission on interstate cooperation or in accordance with the laws of the state. In addition, the Governor of each state appoints two representatives, and one must be associated with forestry or forest products industry. Each state of the Compact is entitled to one vote.

At this time, the Georgia legislative representatives are Senator Hugh M. Gillis of Soperton, Georgia, and Representative Jack W. Shuman of Pembroke, Georgia. Present Governor appointees are Downing Musgrove of Homerville, Georgia, and William Lies of Cuthbert, Georgia.
The Southeastern States Forest Fire Compact Commission has met annually since 1955 to discuss matters of mutual interest and concern and to coordinate plans, programs and training activities of mutual benefit. I was elected chairman of the Commission in 1963, and reelected chairman for the year 1964. Serving with me at the present time are: C. H. Coulter, Vice-Chairman, State Forester of Florida; James B. Cartwright, Secretary-Treasurer, U. S. Forest Service, Atlanta, Georgia; Louis H. Camisa, Tennessee, Member at Large; and R. C. Brent, Jr., Florida, Member at Large. A copy of the Ninth Annual Meeting of the Compact which met in Atlanta on December 19, 1963, is available for your review.
The contributions from the Forest Fire Compact to Georgia and to other member states have been significant. A regional forest fire plan has been put into effect, and each member state has taken the necessary steps to integrate their forest fire plan with the regional plan formulated by the compact admini strators. Of great value has been the annual meeting of the forest fire personnel which has been held in various states for training and coordination of important factors to implement the Compact. These annual meetings are limited to super visory personnel in charge of training and planning for forest fire programs in each state. These teams have received training in large fire organizations, and upon their return to their respective states, they give similar training to the entire fire control organization of their state, including the organized fire crews of private landowners.
Georgia has been host to the training programs of the Compact states. In 1959, the first training of this type was conducted in Georgia by the Forestry Commission. For the past four years, Georgia has held mock fire problems of two days in duration in different areas of the state, at which time private industry and landowners who have suppression equipment and crews were invited to participate. These have proved most successful and of tremendous value in organizing personnel and equipment on fires within the state where fires larger than average are encountered.

The annual training sessions sponsored by the Compact Commission have probably been the greatest single benefit from the Compact. The member states have seen the need for more standardization in equipment, techniques, planning, communications, and other matters that must be recognized within a state or between states for an effective forest fire prevention and suppression program. A forest fire manual has been prepared covering every phase of mutual assist ance and as a means of integrating the state's fire program with the regional program. The Compact has been a means of helping to strengthen the forest fire organization within the various Compact states by pointing up the need for increased funds necessary to provide a minimum forest fire protection program.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2655

It has made possible a basis for requests for mutual assistance with a com pensation rate established that each state will recognize as being fair and just when mutual assistance is requested. Georgia rendered assistance in 1959 and 1960 to North Carolina in the use of aircraft for making chemical drops on a fire. We use monoammonium phosphate which is fertilizer mixed with water for this type of fire control. Georgia has two converted TBM tankers having a capacity of approximately six hundred gallons each, and one drop will cover an area approximately the size of a football field. In addition to Georgia, North Carolina and Florida now have aerial tankers to be used in this type fire control operation. Georgia has also rendered assistance to Florida, Alabama and South Carolina on fires approaching the state line. This was done on a mutually agreed assistance basis when fires from those states threatened Georgia forest lands.

The greatest value in the future will probably continue to be the training phase of the various state forest fire organizations that will help each member state do a better job within their respective states. We believe, therefore, that the Compact in the Southeastern region has served its purpose in a most satis factory and worthwhile manner.

The problems that have been encountered by the Compact states have been varied, some of which still exist. The greatest problem has been the inability of member states to assist one another during times of real need. This has not been a fault of any state, but results from the fact that all states have more or less similar fire conditions existing when an emergency arises and very few states have sufficient equipment to spare at such a time. Air tankers are equipment that does lend itself to meeting this emergency need. The greatest problem, possibly, is that practically every state does not have emergency forest fire funds to reimburse costs for out-of-state assistance, either for manpower or equipment. In Georgia, funds that would be available for outside requests would have to come from the Governor's emergency funds. It would be highly desirable to have an emergency fund of $250,000 that could be drawn upon to reimburse states for mutual assistance and obtaining equipment that could be used on an emergency basis should weather conditions ever bring about a condition similar to what was experienced in 1954 and 1955. Another problem is an annual state appropriation that will provide a fire prevention and control organization in keeping with the financial and economic importance of the forest lands and forest industries to Georgia.

I want to express my deep appreciation to the Georgia Commission on Inter state Cooperation for the support and assistance which you have rendered and are continuing to render to the Interstate Compact. Also, my appreciation to Mr. Herbert Wiltsee, Director of the Southern Office of the Council of State Governments, for what he and his office has done to bring the Southeastern States Forest Fire Compact Commission into reality and to support its needs through the years. Without the support and assistance of the Council of State Governments and the various state Commissions on Interstate Cooperation the Southeastern Interstate Forest Fire Protection Compact could not have ever come into existence.

This Compact is authorized by the "Regional Forest Fire Protection Com pact (Ga. Laws 1953, Nov.-Dec. Sess. p. 49), and may also be found in Ga. Code Anno. Chap. 43-9.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

ATLANTIC STATES MARINE FISHERIES COMPACT

A Summary of the Presentation Made by Mr. Ernest Mitts, Secretary-Treasurer, Compact Commission, and Mr. David Gould, Supervisor of Coastal Fisheries, State of Georgia

The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Compact came into being to promote the better utilization of fisheries of all types along the Atlantic Seaboard from Maine to Florida. This purpose was to be achieved through the development of a joint program among the seaboard states for the promotion and protection of such fisheries and for coordinating their activities to avoid waste and duplication of effort. Article III of the Compact creates the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission to be composed of three representatives from each of the compacting states which now includes all fourteen Atlantic coast states and Pennsylvania. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission is the administrative vehicle by which the purposes of the compact is achieved. The Commission itself does not have a research facility, but rather the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service performs this important function. In this connection, however, the long efforts of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission in promoting legislation to provide financial assistance to the states to advance commercial fishery research and development projects has been recently rewarded, because on May 4, 1964, Congress passed a Bill which will establish a five-year program for this purpose. A five million dollar annual appropriation will be apportioned to the states on the basis of the value of their commercial fisheries and of their manufactured fishery products. These funds will be on a 75% federal and 25% state matching basis, but control will be left with the states. Georgia's annual share in this program will be $118,700 which will provide the funds necessary to investigate the many problems confronting our commercial fishing industry; to study the resources which form the basis of the industry; to promote the establishment of new fisheries; and to rehabilitate old ones, such as the oyster fishery, which is in a serious state of decline.

Many of the projects undertaken by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission have been of direct benefit to Georgia's fishing industry. For example, two of these projects are headquartered in Georgia, the first of which began operations in 1953 as a cooperative offshore fisheries research project and resulted in the Fish and Wildlife Service establishing a marine laboratory in Brunswick. This marine laboratory is continuing work on two important studies: the life history and taxonomy of the fishes of the South Atlantic Coast and the physical and chemical oceanography of ocean waters along this coast. The second project in Georgia came in 1959 when the Fish and Wildlife Service established an exploratory fishing and gear research station at Brunswick. The exploratory vessel, SILVER BAY, was assigned to this work and has made valuable contributions to the fishing industry. Noteworthy in this regard is the direct assistance to commercial fishermen in the development of commercial fishing for the deepwater Royal Red shrimp, the location of Calico scallop beds in offshore waters, and the discovery of commercial quantities of snapper, grouper, and associated species.

Our marine fisheries are an important part of Georgia's economy. In 1960 some 1900 commercial fishermen earned more than 3-1/4 million dollars from the sale of their catch which totaled nearly 28 million pounds. During this same period, the wholesaling and manufacturing of fishery products provided employment to more than 3,200 persons with a production valued at nearly

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2657

20-1/2 million dollars. Related industries tend to make our seafood industry of ever greater importance. Georgia's salt water sport fishery is like an uncut diamond, the value of which will be enhanced with proper handling.

The program set up under the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Compact has been of assistance to us in the past and will certainly continue to serve in the future as we move toward fulfilling our responsibilities to Georgia's marine resources and those Georgians who are dependent upon them.

This Compact was granted Congressional consent in 1942 and Georgia became a member in 1943 (Ga. Laws 1943, p. 117) but this original Act was repealed when the Compact was included in the Act completely and exhaustively revising, superseding and consolidating the laws relating to game and fish (Ga. Laws 1955, p. 483). See also Ga. Code Anno. Sees. 45-123 through 45-134.

INTERSTATE COMPACT FOR SUPERVISION OF PAROLEES AND PROBATIONERS
A Summary of the Presentation Made by Mrs. Rebecca L. Garrett, Chairman, Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles.
The purpose of the Interstate Compact for the Supervision of Parolees and Probationers is to help solve one of society's major problems of rehabilitating parolees and probationers. It was almost impossible, particularly from an economic standpoint, for any single state to allow its parolees and probationers to return to their home states if they were from out of state or to relocate and attempt to start a new life if from this state. The reason being that states simply could not afford to provide the personnel necessary to supervise parolees and probationers beyond their own borders. As a result, parolees and probationer? were restricted to job opportunities and numerous other factors of a particular state which often led to very difficult problems in rehabilitating the parolee or probationer. The Interstate Compact for the Supervision of Parolees and Pro bationers took a giant step toward solving this problem, because under its provisions a parolee or probationer may relocate in any compacting state after meeting certain basic qualifications, and the receiving state uses its facilities for the necessary supervision of the parolee or probationer. The operation of the Compact thus allows the parolee or probationer to locate in that area that offers the best opportunity for him to live down the errors of his past and become a useful and productive member of society.
The Compact has met with a high degree of success, and generally speaking, the cooperation among the compacting states, which now includes all fifty states, has been excellent. The main problems, which have been encountered in Georgia and in some other states, resulted from a lack of qualified personnel for adequate supervision of parolees and probationers. Present appropriations are not adequate to allow a high enough salary scale to maintain qualified personnel. This problem is likely to increase in Georgia with the enactment of the new prison reform laws which will give rise to a need for additional probation officers.
There is a great deal of activity under this compact, as the following recent figures indicate:

2658

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Parolees: Probationers:

160 Georgia parolees in other states 300 parolees from other states in Georgia 213 Georgia probationers in 29 other states 292 probationers from 30 other states in Georgia

Most of the activity under the compact comes from neighboring states, al though many states are involved, as the figures on probationers indicate. For example, of the 300 parolees in Georgia from other states, Florida has the highest with 77, and of the 292 probationers in Georgia from other states, Florida has 121, which is again higher than the number from any other state.

There is also considerable economic benefit to the state from the operation of this Compact, because while the average cost of supervising a parolee or probationer is about $50 per year, the average cost of keeping a man in prison in Georgia is about $4,000 per year. The somewhat surprising contrast between these figures take into account the increase of family welfare expenses paid by the state and local units of government as a result of breadwinners being con fined to prison. The cost is real, however, and the economic benefit to the state is equally real. The operation of this Compact then, serves not only human and social needs but also provides a decided economic advantage for the state.
*******'*
As passed in Georgia this Act is known as "The Uniform Act for Out of State Parolee Supervision" (Ga. Laws 1950, p. 405, and is also found in Ga. Code Anno. Chap. 27-27A).

CONCLUSIONS
The Commission believes that its review of the interstate programs in which Georgia is participating strongly indicates that the State derives substantial bene fits through participation in them. The benefits derived are of several types.
In the first place, the operation of these programs often means a substantial saving in the taxpayer's dollar as in the case of the "Interstate Compact for the Supervision of Parolees and Probationers". In some instances the savings realized by the State are indirect as in the case of the "Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act" which operates to secure support of dependents who might otherwise become an economic burden on the State by finding it necessary to request public assistance. In still other instances, the economic benefits to the State might be more long-range as in the case of the "Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Compact" which is helping to further develop our marine resources, which in turn will mean more jobs and a broader economic base for the State. Of course, this particular compact has already been of considerable economic benefit to the State as brought out in the body of this report. .
These interstate programs also provide a vehicle for state and local govern ments to more effectively fulfill their responsibility in meeting the needs of their people. In this respect, the interstate programs help to achieve more ef ficient and effective government on the state and local level.
And finally, some interstate programs serve humanitarian and social needs by making it possible for state and local governments to provide certain services for their citizens which help to alleviate suffering and contribute to the general health of society. Needs such as these are served, for example, when a destitute

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2659

child receives support or when a parolee or probationer is successfully rehabili tated and becomes a useful member of the community.
The Commission recognizes that each proposed uniform law or interstate compact should be studied in accordance with its own merits and its suitability for adoption in Georgia, but when these programs are adopted and operate successfully, as those reviewed in this report, the states seem to gain a degree of independence by their mutual cooperation in areas that might otherwise lend themselves to federal encroachment if continued to be neglected. In this respect, interstate programs have not only helped solve some of the problems confronting state and local governments, but have also contributed in some measure to the maintenance of the federal system by enabling state and local governments to perform needed services for their citizens that would be beyond their capability when acting alone.

REPORT OF THE INTERIM COMMITTEE TO INSPECT STATE PORTS

The members of the Committee made an inspection of all port facilities in the State located at Savannah, Brunswick, Bainbridge, Columbus and Augusta, and met with the officials directing the operation of the various ports, as well as the Chairman and several members of the Georgia Ports Authority.

The Committee was very impressed with the efficiency and the industry of the personnel at all port locations at all levels, as well as the progressiveness and forward-thinking of the executive personnel and the members of the Georgia Ports Authority.

The magnitude of the port operations, both deep water and inland, and its impact on the economy of the State was self-evident to the Committee, and the necessity for the further development of all existing facilities and the develop ment of future inland ports should be considered one of the priorities to expand the economy of this State.

The Committee was very impressed with the versatility of the equipment located at the various installations, and particularly at the Port of Savannah, and the centralization of maintenance at the Port of Savannah, for the entire Ports Authority equipment is a definite improvement over the past and enables all ports to operate with minimum delay because of repairs. In addition to the centralization of maintenance the Ports Authority at Savannah also utilizes its personnel for minor construction and refurbishing jobs which is a great saving in moneys to the State. The completion of a new cold storage plant facility should increase the flow of perishable products through this port.

The operation of a complete railroad by the Ports Authority at Savannah indicates the feasibility of this type of operation at other installations and in creases the efficiency of the Ports Authority greatly.

The Ports Authority up to this date has in effect been developing its facili ties to the point of competing with the neighboring states in both deep water and inland ports and now is the time to move ahead in further development.

The port at Brunswick, after having been idle for many, many years, has, since its revival in 1960, shown a constant increase in tonnage primarily due to locally generated business and industry, and the development of Colonel's Island, which is owned by the State, is an absolute necessity for the furtherance of the development of this port.
The development of the Bainbridge port has been beyond all expectation, and has caused a great boost in the economy of the southwest Georgia area, along with the port in Columbus.
The Augusta port, while in its infancy, is progressing satisfactorily, and its potential will be unlimited with the completion of the United States Engineers' work in the Savannah River and the final construction of the Cross-Florida Canal.
The Committee would like to make the following recommendations as to the specific port locations:

2662

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

SAVANNAH: In addition to the 4-1/2 million dollar expansion already un dertaken by the Ports Authority itself at Savannah for additional berths and ware house facilities, it is felt by the Committee that moneys should be ap propriated immediately for certain equipment requirements at both the Garden City and Ocean terminals, two new berths at the Ocean terminals and the possibility of the construction of a grain elevator at Whitehall.

In addition, the King's Island turning basin in the Savannah River, which is a spoilage area located in Chatham County for the dredging operations, is entirely at the expense of Chatham County, and the Committee feels that the State should either take over the expense of this operation or give financial as sistance to Chatham County, inasmuch as the State port located here, as well as the entire State, benefits directly from this operation.

BRUNSWICK: Due to the proven value of the State-owned railroad opera tion at the Savannah port, it is recommended that the State immediately proceed with the construction of the railroad planned for the development of Colonel's Island, and that additional moneys be appropriated, if necessary, to supplement the moneys already set aside for this construction. The Committe also recom mends an additional berth be built at the Brunswick port, either contemporaneous ly with the construction of the railroad or as soon thereafter as possible to take care of the additional tonnage which will naturally result from the location of industry on Colonel's Island upon the completion of the construction of the railroad.

BAINBRIDGE: The Committee recommends that moneys be appropriated for the enlargement of a natural slip or ditch located on the port premises, which has been determined to be engineeringly feasible and which would greatly aid in the barge tonnage handled by this port. In addition, the Committee recommends that immediate contact be made with the United States Engineers and the States of Florida and Alabama regarding the correction of the channel depth of the Apalachicola River which at present is a detriment to the barge traffic at certain seasons of the year due to the shallow depth of the channel. The Committee also recommends that continued study of the warehouse facilities at this port should be maintained so that additional warehouse facilities may be started when the need is apparent, inasmuch as the warehouse facility soon to be completed will be operating at full capacity immediately. The Committee recommends that thought should be given to the acquisition of additional land for the further
development of this port.

COLUMBUS: This port is progressing satisfactorily, and the recommenda tions applying to the Bainbridge port also will directly apply to this port. It is recommended, however, that appropriations be made to the Columbus port for equipment which is presently needed for the operation of this port.

AUGUSTA: This facility is in its infancy and has not reached its full potential. However, the Committee recommends that constant scrutiny of this facility be maintained so that sufficient funds may be appropriated upon the completion of the United States Engineers' work in deepening the channel of the Savannah River and the completion of the Cross-Florida Canal. This port is in need of several pieces of equipment which the Committee recommends be obtained when the moneys are available.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2663

POTENTIAL NEW PORTS: The Committee recommends that a study be made by the Georgia Ports Authority concerning the feasibility of the development of all of Georgia's waterways with the possibility of the establishment of inland ports at Albany, Macon, Atlanta and Rome.

The Committee feels that all of the port facilities are operating at their maximum capacity and that further expansion is a must for the State to compete with facilities located outside of the State in the anticipated trade boom which will follow in the next several years.

The Committee would like to commend the Chairman of the Georgia Ports Authority, Mr. Robert Norman, its members and its personnel for an outstanding job of administration in the operation of all the port facilities.

JOUENAL OF THE HOUSE,

TO: THE GOVERNOR, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL AS SEMBLY OF GEORGIA AND OTHER INTERESTED PERSONS

REPORT OF COMMITTEE CREATED TO STUDY EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM

THE COMMITTEE

Honorable Philip M. Chandler Representative, Baldwin County Chairman
Honorable John H. Anderson, Jr. Representative, Pulaski County Secretary
Honorable Roy N. Coker Representative, Turner County Member

Honorable J. Lucius Black Representative, Webster County Vice Chairman
Honorable Harry R. Spikes Representative, Troup County Member
Honorable Thomas M. Mitchell Representative, Whitfield County Member

January, 1965

Pursuant to the authority granted in HR 558 adopted at the 1964 Regular Session of the General Assembly, the Speaker of the House of Representatives appointed an interim legislative committee to study and make recommendations relative to the Employees Retirement System. The members of the Committee are as follows:

Honorable Philip M. Chandler Representative, Baldwin County
Honorable Harry R. Spikes Representative, Troup County
Honorable John H. Anderson, Jr. Representative, Pulaski County
Honorable J. Lucius Black Representative, Webster County
Honorable Roy N. Coker Representative, Turner County
Honorable Thomas M. Mitchell Representative, Whitfield County

The Speaker of the House of Representatives designated Representative Chandler as Chairman of the Committee. At the initial meeting of the Committee, Representative Black was designated as the Vice Chairman and Representative Anderson was designated as the Secretary of the Committee.

The Committee wishes to express its appreciation to Honorable W. Frank DeLamar, Executive Secretary, Employees Retirement System, Honorable E. W. Van Houten, Deputy Executive Secretary, Employees Retirement System and the

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2665

personnel of the Employees Retirement System for the splendid cooperation ex tended the Committee in its endeavors.

The Committee also wishes to express its appreciation to the staff of the Office of Legislative Counsel for its most able and valuable assistance.

The objective of the Committee was to determine the soundness of the fund; to determine whether or not the benefits offered to its members were adequate; to determine what measures, if any, the General Assembly should enact to pre serve and strengthen the trust fund of the State's employees.

Although the time allotted for study was short to undertake a comprehensive and thorough investigation into the Retirement System and its activities, the Committee was impressed by the intense sense of duty and responsibility of the Trustees, the Executive Secretary and all other employees of the Retirement System.

The Committee was pleased to find that the funds of the Employees Re tirement System were invested in such a manner that the interest yield for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1964, was 4.5%. The Committee believes that this amount of yield is better than average and is, therefore, a compliment to the investment committee of the Board of Trustees of the fund.
The Committee was further pleased to learn that the "prior service" deficit of the fund has been reduced, and that in time this deficit will be eliminated. The fund is affording benefits to its members well within its income, and no increase in the Department's contributions is necessary to carry out the purposes of the fund. The Committee believes that the benefit provisions now afforded by the fund as a result of legislation passed during the 1964 Session of the General Assembly has placed the State employees in a retirement status better than many systems offered elsewhere. As stated above, however, the Committee was limited in its time, and no real comparison was made to substantiate this statement as a verified fact. This information was obtained from the meetings with officers and advisors of the Retirement System. In a meeting with the actuaries of the firm of Bowles, Andrews and Towne (Mr. Eddy and Mr. Moore), the Committee was informed that the projection of the Employees Retirement System was in a conservative direction and that the fund was sound in its operation and its benefit structure.
For the first time since its existence, the Retirement System has been able to simplify its presentation of benefits to its members. This is a laudable ac complishment, because in the past it was impossible for the members of the System to obtain any idea of the benefits the System offered without each situation being analyzed individually by an employee of the Retirement System. Under the provisions of this new simplified approach, most members may now calculate their own retirement benefits. Unfortunately, this new structure of benefits will not apply to members who retired prior to July 1, 1964, and, there fore, inequities in benefits exist. The Committee realizes that this situation is not desirable but this area is complicated by the nature of the System and the Con stitutional laws of the State of Georgia. Further study should be concentrated in this area.
The Committee was disappointed in the amount of investments made in Georgia. The Committee feels that the funds of our State and its employees

2666

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

should be more actively used to support the growth and development of our com munities. The lack of activity in this field seems to result from a situation that was created by the General Assembly in establishing the "Georgia Real Estate Investment Board". Investment procedures now in existence cause applications for loans to be first channelled through the "Georgia Real Estate Investment Board", and the fee charged for a loan application, together with the delay involved, is causing a dramatic loss of interest by potential borrowers. With the economic situation as it is today, many good and prime loan proposals are never made to the Retirement System as a result of these procedures. It is the opinion of the Committee that this situation needs to be corrected as soon as possible.

In summary, the recommendations of the Employees Retirement System Study Committee are as follows:

(1) To preserve the integrity and soundness of the Employees Retirement System, and all other retirement funds under State jurisdiction, a permanent Committee should be created in the House of Representatives to review and study all legislation affecting any retirement system. This permanent House Com mittee would have access to professional advice, and would keep abreast of the activities of all State retirement systems.

(2) The purposes and role of the "Georgia Real Estate Investment Board" should be redirected into the area of promoting industrial growth and making recommendations to various retirement systems in connection with loan applica tions, rather than maintaining its position as the resolute authority over loan applications.
(3) The General Assembly should explore the possibilities of employing a full time trust officer who would not only be available to the General Assembly but also to the retirement systems for counsel and advice on investments.

(4) Further study should be made on the Employees Retirement System in an effort to remove the inequities in the benefit structure.

(5) A study should be made in connection with all public supported retire ment systems and pension funds to determine whether or not additional legislation is needed to insure that members of such public supported retirement systems and pension funds are protected by sound financial and operating procedures.
(6) The study of these recommendations should be continued by the 1965-66 General Assembly.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Phillip M. Chandler Representative, Baldwin County Chairman

REPORT OP THE COMMITTEE TO STUDY THE OSTEOPATHIC PROFESSION TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA

January 26, 1965

The Committee to Study the Osteopathic Profession in undertaking and carrying out its legislative responsibilities held hearings, visited the Chicago College of Osteopathy, Chicago Osteopathic Hospital, and the Detroit Osteopathic Hospital and received in evidence extensive documents and publications relating to the training of physicians and surgeons of the Osteopathic school of medicine and other physicians and surgeons. This report summarizes for the General As sembly the opinions of the Committee members and submits in bill form a legislative proposal based upon our study for your consideration and approval.

1. Nature of Problem.

Doctors of Osteopathy are licensed pursuant to Chapter 84-12, Code of Geor gia, and are specifically authorized to practice in the following manner:

84-1209. (1739) License to practice authorizes what.--The license pro vided for in this Chapter shall authorize the holder to practice osteopathy as taught and practiced in the legally incorporated and reputable colleges of osteopathy, as provided for in this Chapter: Provided, however, osteopaths shall be authorized for the alleviation of pain only to use, mix, prepare, dispense and administer certain narcotic drugs, to-wit, those narcotic drugs or their derivatives, the sale or dispensing of which is regulated by the Federal Act known as "The Harrison Narcotic Act", as amended, said Act being set out in 26th U. S. C. A. Int. Rev. Code, Section 3220.

This statute was enacted in 1909 and no substantial amendments have been made to the Act since that date. The narcotic provision was enacted in 1941 to clarify that the right to use narcotics was included under the law despite a United States Circuit Court of Appeals decision in 1940 to the contrary.

Under this statute, approximately 73 doctors of osteopathy are licensed and engaged in practice in Georgia at the present time. Each one of these doctors has complied with the statutory requirements of the Georgia Osteopathic Practice Act which is administered by the Board of Osteopathic Examiners in consultation with the Joint Secretary of Examining Boards. The law requires a doctor to have two years pre-medical college study and four years education and training in an approved Osteopathic college. (Neither the osteopathic or medical act requires that a doctor have an internship.) The board examines applicants in all basic medical subjects, including the use of drugs and operative surgery under the various listed subjects. A qualified applicant is then licensed to practice osteopathy, must annually renew his license with the Joint Secretary and is subject to disciplinary control and regulation by the Board of Osteopathic Examiners. The Joint Secretary, Attorney General, and Georgia Bureau of Investigation assist the Board of Osteopathic Examiners in the enforcement of the law.

The 73 licensed doctors of osteopathy are located in 41 cities and towns in Georgia with only 16 D.O.s located in Atlanta. These doctors practice as taught in osteopathic colleges as permitted by law, caring for all human ailments and

2668

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

diseases, and using drugs and operative surgery when needed and indicated. (One of the doctors in Atlanta is a Medical Officer of the United States Public Health Service assigned to the Communicable Disease Center.) They operate and maintain several small hospitals and clinics outside of Atlanta. With the large percentage of doctors located in rural Georgia, their services are recognized as essential to the maintenance of available medical and surgical care in the less highly populated areas of the State.

The doctors of osteopathy are interested in increasing the number of osteopathic physicians practicing in Georgia. They are particularly concerned over the shortage of doctors in rural Georgia and believe that their profession can be of help in meeting the acknowledge need for doctors in such areas. (The medical profession admits that more doctors are needed in rural Georgia.) In 1943, the Medical Scholarship Act was passed provided $1,000.00 per year to students who would agree to practice in rural Georgia after graduation from the Medical College of Georgia.

The Medical Association of Georgia and individual doctors of medicine con tinually question or challenge the lawful scope of practice permitted doctors of osteopathy thus discouraging more doctors of osteopathy from practicing in the State. This attitude of the Medical Association creates dissention and confusion in the minds of the public, patients, and the doctors. Ill will and controversy is stimulated, with neither the Medical Association or Osteopathic Association retracting one bit from their stated positions of separately working to improve the public health.

The Georgia Association of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons repeatedly since the end of World War II has had introduced bills to clarify the Osteopathic Practice Act. The only opposition to the clarification of the law comes from the Medical Association. The hearings on the bills have raised the following issues and it is the facts pertaining to these issues that this Committee decided needed to be answered in its study of the Osteopathic profession.

(1) Are doctors of osteopathy trained and educated to use all diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and modalties, including drugs, manipulation and opera tive surgery? Answer: Yes.

(2) Do colleges of osteopathy educate student doctors in the basic science and clinical medical and surgical subjects on the same basis as do medical col leges? Answer: Yes.

(3) Are graduates of the osteopathic colleges trained in clinical hospital practice as a part of their education? Answer: Yes. All osteopathic colleges utilize general teaching hospitals providing full meidcal and surgical care.

(4) Do osteopathic graduates take hospital internships and has the osteo pathic profession organized specialty boards in surgery, obstetrics, psychiatry, dermatology, gynecology, and the various other medical specialties? Answer: Yes.

(5) Have we in Georgia accepted the osteopathic profession upon the same legal basis as, for example, it is accepted under State law in such states as Missouri where two of the osteopathic colleges are located, one at Kansas City and one at Kirksville, Missouri? Answer: No.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2669

(6) Why does the Georgia Legislature continue to be the center of an osteopathic and medical controversy when other state legislatures have long ago resolved this problem? Answer: Failure to clarify the law.

(7) What is the status of the osteopathic profession under laws enacted by the United States Congress of which a large number of the leaders of both the Senate and House are distinguished citizens of Georgia? Answer: Equal to that of doctors of medicine.

With the answers to the above questions in its possession, the Committee agreed it would be able to intelligently make recommendations to the General Assembly relating to the osteopathic profession.

2. Committee Hearings Held at the State Capitol, Atlanta, Georgia.

After the appearances of Dr. Mauldin, Mr. Jim Moffet, and Dr. Walker, the Committee drew the conclusion that the Medical Association of Georgia objected to osteopathy being licensed for unlimited practice in this State. First, that M.D.'s were not allowed to inspect osteopathic colleges and, therefore, did not know their teaching methods or subjects taught. Secondly, that they questioned the accreditation of osteopathic institutions by he American Osteopath Association.

It is the conclusion of this Committee after visits and studies that the colleges of osteopath medicine are accredited by the same method and procedure as the medical colleges throughout the United States and their basic science departments are staffed by qualified instructors, all who hold PHD degrees.

MAY M.D.'s VISIT OSTEOPATHIC COLLEGES?
Many M.D.'s representing National Institutes of Health and other agencies of the United States Public Health Service and representatives of State Boards of Examiners have visited osteopathic colleges and are still visiting these colleges.
The only stipulation in the regulations of the American Osteopathic As sociation through its Bureau of Professional Education, the accrediting agency of osteopathic colleges, regarding such visits, is that the members of visiting teams shall not be members of the accrediting agency of the American Medical Association.
Since 1934, M.D.'s representing the Division of Higher Education of the University of the State of New York (The New York Board of Regents) have periodically inspected osteopathic colleges as well as medical schools outside of the State of New York and since these first visits in 1934, osteopathic colleges have been approved by the New York Board of Regents.
In early 1955, osteopathic colleges were visited by medical college educators under the "Cline Committee". These men spent on an average of three days in the osteopathic colleges visited. The medicad educators on these teams were as follows:

L. R. Chandler, M.D., Dean Emeritus, Stanford University, School of Medicine

2670

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

J. Murray Kinsman, M.D., Dean of the University of Louisville, School of Medicine
W. Clarke Wesco, M.D., Dean of the University of Kansas, School of Medicine
Dr. Joseph C. Hinsey, formerly Dean of the Medical School of Cornell University and presently Director of the Cornell Medical Center
Robert Moore, M.D., formerly Dean of the Washington University School of Medicine and presently Vice President of the University of Pittsburgh.

Other M.D.'s who assisted in these visits were:
James Z. Appel, Leonard W. Larson, Thomas P. Murdock, Julian P. Price, Cleon A. Nafe, and the Chairman of the Committee, John W. Cline, formerly President of the American Medical Association, the accrediting agency of the American Osteopathic Association, and the individual osteopathic colleges ap proved these visits.
Several State Boards of Examiners made up of M.D.'s and D.O.'s periodically visit osteopathic colleges. For example, during the last academic year, the fol lowing M.D.'s on the Minnesota State Board of Medical Examiners visited three osteopathic colleges and will visit the other two this year.
James C. Cain, Rochester, Minnesota (Mayo Clinic)
Howard L. Horns, Minneapolis (Member of the faculty of the University of Minnesota Medical School)
F. H. Magney, Duluth, Minnesota
J. P. Medelman, Secretary-Treasurer, Board of Medical Examiners, St. Paul, Minnesota
Dale Dodson, D. O., Member of the State Board of Medical Examiners.

The three osteopathic colleges visited by this Board were approved.

The actual regulations of the Bureau of Professional Education and the Board of Trustees of the AOA regarding inspection and evaluation of osteo pathic colleges by outside groups is as follows:

WHEREAS, in states requiring official state examining agency on-campus inspection of medical colleges and osteopathic colleges to determine eligibility of their graduates for state examination leading to licensure to practice medicine and surgery, the state examining agencies acting in their official capacity and consisting in the most part, of members of the American Medical Association have made on-campus inspection of the colleges of osteopathy and surgery and approved them as training institutions for the practice of medicine and surgery; and

WHEREAS, accreditation of colleges of osteopathy and surgery by the American Osteopathic Association is the criterion required by statute or regulation in the remaining states for qualification of their graduates for examination leading to

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2671

licensure to practice medicine and surgery, or osteopathy and surgery, to which extent the American Osteopathic Association occupies a position equivalent to trustee for each of the states, accountable to them only, and duty bond to up hold its authority and responsibility and impugn neither.

BE IT RESOLVED by the American Osteopathic Association that the col leges of osteopathy and surgery shall be available, as they have in the past, for on-campus inspections only by the American Osteopathic Association, or by of ficial State or Federal examining agencies in carrying out the requirements of their respective State or Federal laws.

TEXTBOOKS USED IN OSTEOPATHIC COLLEGES
Attached is a list of textbooks used, for example, at the Kansas City College of Osteopathy and Surgery.

ACCREDITATION OF OSTEOPATHIC EDUCATION
The Bureau of Professional Education of the American Osteopathic Associa tion is recognized as the only accrediting agency of Osteopathic education, in cluding osteopathic colleges, teaching hospitals, and post-doctorate education by all departments of the Federal Government and by most State Boards of Examiners.
The United States Civil Service Commission Announcement No. 312-B, September 10, 1963, specifically spells out the accrediting procedures of the American Medical Association and the American Osteopathic Association, which are the only two recognized accrediting agencies of educational programs for physicians and surgeons.
The Bureau of Professional Education of the American Osteopathic As sociation is made up of component committees known as:
Committee on Colleges, the evaluating agency of the osteopathic colleges
Committee on Hospitals, the evaluating agency of teaching hospitals and registered hospitals
The Committee on Evaluation of Post-Doctorate Education
The Advisory Board of Osteopathic Specialists
Osteopathic colleges are minutely surveyed at least once every five years by a team of approximately fifteen members made up of Ph.D.'s in the basic science area, osteopathic physicians and surgeons certified in the various fields of specialty practice and engaged in teaching in either osteopathic colleges or osteopathic hospitals, and an educational consultant named by the appropriate Regional Educational Association. Ronald B. Thompson, Ph.D., Executive Dean, Ohio State University, named by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, has been one of the educational consultants to the Bureau of Professional Education and the Committee in Colleges for four years and has participated in three osteopathic college inspections. Finla G. Crawford, Ph.D., Vice-Chancellor Emeritus, Syracuse University, named by the Middle States

2672

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, has been one of the Bureau's consultants for the last five years and has participated in several osteopathic college surveys.

Following a complete survey of an osteopathic college, the Committee on Colleges follows up with periodic visits by either individuals or small groups of three to five inspectors to assist the college in meeting the recommendations of the Survey Committee. Osteopathic colleges are not charged for either survey or inspection.

The Office of Education of the AOA with cooperation of the five osteopathic colleges maintains personnel files of all osteopathic college students. These files are brought up to date annually at the beginning of each academic year. The Office of Education also maintains a complete personnel file of each faculty member in the five colleges. These files are annually brought up to date. The presidents of the osteopathic colleges also file printed copies of their annual reports with the Office of Education of the AOA.

Applicants to the five osteopathic colleges are reported to the Office of Education monthly, so that a monthly list of applicants to two or more osteo pathic colleges can be transmitted to osteopathic colleges. The Director of Office of Education of the AOA serves as Secretary of the Bureau of Professional Edu cation and as Secretary of all college surveys and inspections.

Therefore, there is constant liaison between the Bureau of Professional Education and its component committees and the osteopathic colleges.
All recommendations for accreditation of osteopathic colleges, teaching hos pitals, post-doctorate programs are presented to the Board of Trustees of the AOA for its final approval.
This Committee of the House of Representatives made up of Fulford of Terrell, as Chairman; Newton of Colquitt, as Vice-Chairman; and Roland of Johnson, visited the Chicago College of Osteopathy on January 4 and 5. On January 4, the Committee met with President R. N. McBain, DO.O and Dean Robert A. Kistner, MD., D.O. and were conducted on a tour of the basic science building where laboratory classes in anatomy, biological chemis try, physiology and pharmacology, microbiology were observed. Conferences were held with several members of the basic science faculty including Albert F. Kelso, Ph.D. (Physiology and Pharmacology, Loyola University), Dr. Kelso has been connected with the Chicago College of Osteopathy for the past 25 years. It is interesting to report that Dr. Kelso at the present time is supervising eight research grants from the National Institutes of Health. The Committee met briefly with J. B. Melchior, Ph.D. (University of Chicago) Professor biochemistry and O. F. Gursch, Ph. D. (University of Minnesota) Professor of Bacteriology.
The Committee toured the college-owned teaching hospital and was impressed with the fact that the college out-patient clinic department had experienced six thousand patient visits during the last three weeks of December, 1964. This is one of the largest out-patient departments in Chicago.
The freshman class of 72 men and women were selected from over 350 applicants, 74 per cent of whom had received their baccalaureate degrees and the others had completed more than three years of undergraduate college training. This class represented 41 undergraduate colleges in 12 states.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2673

The Committee noted small group instruction taking place in the clinic and in the teaching hospital with the clinical professor, residents, interns and third and fourth year students.

On January 5 the Committee visited the Detroit Osteopathic Hospital which is affiliated with the Chicago College of Osteopathy and provides one-third of the clinical training for the seniors at the Chicago College of Osteopathy. This is a modern general osteopathic hospital of 425 beds, providing fifty residencies in internal medicine, pediatrics and gynecology, surgery, orthopedic surgery, pediatrics, radiology, anesthesiology, pathology, ophthalmology and otorhinolarynogology. This hospital also provides an educational program for twenty interns. This hospital's Department of Obstetrics handled over twenty thousand births without a maternal death. The Committee was impressed with the fact that in the Detroit area are nine osteopathic hospitals.

It was interesting to note that Dr. Kelso, Head of the Basic Science Depart ment, Chicago College of Osteopathy, is a guest lecturer at the University of Chicago, Loyola University in Chicago, and Wayne University School of Medicine.

BASIC SCIENCE FACULTY IN OSTEOPATHIC COLLEGES

Associate professors, full professors and department chairmen in the basic sciences taught in osteopathic colleges are Ph.D.'s in thir respective fields. These men and women received their Ph.D. degrees from such graduate schools as John Hopkins University, Boston University, Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Penn State University, The University of Pittsburgh, The University of Chicago, Loyola University (Chicago), North western University, Michigan State University, University of Michigan, Iowa University, University of Minnesota, University of Illinois, Ohio State University.

Most of the instructors and some of the assistant professors in the basic science fields hold Masters of Science degrees and are working toward Ph.D. degrees. Osteopathic collegs do not grant M.S. degrees or Ph.D. degrees, neither do medical colleges.

The Committee noted with interest that the United States Civil Service Commission accepts D.O.'s and all Civil Service grades to serve in the same job and at the same pay as M.D.'s. Requirements for a D.O. under Civil Service regulation is graduation with the degree of D.O. Osteopaths from a school of Osteopathy approved by the Bureau of Professional Education Committee on Colleges of the American Osteopathic Association, provided that the applicant has a permanent and full or unrestricted license to pratcice medicine and surgery in a State, the District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico or a Territory
of the United States.

"The Training in schools of Osteopathy approved by the American Osteo pathic Association is equal to that required by Medical schools" is the report of a special commission setup by Congress to determine the qualifications of Medical Doctors and Osteopathic Doctors. The Commission was originally set-up under
the federal Medical Officer's Procurement Act.

The report from the Commission and published in the recent issue of the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association was as follows:

2674

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

"We find that the training in schools of osteopathy approved by the American Osteopathic Association is and long has been, equal to that re quired by medical schools approved by the American Medical Association.

"Matriculation requirements are, and long have been, comparable. The comparability of training is attested by the success, in a number of states, of physicians, DO, passing the same licensure examination required of physicians, MD.

"The great majority of states and the District of Columbia give phy sicians, DO, the same unlimited license to practice medicine and surgery as is given to physicians, MD.

"Congress, in various legislation, has placed the degree of Doctor of Osteopathy on an equal footing with the degree of Doctor of Medicine.

"Accordingly, we propose to recognize physicians, DO, who are graduates of schools of osteopathy approved by the AOA and who hold an unlimited state license to practice medicine and surgery as qualified for Federal Medical Officer positions."

Previously, only MD's were accepted as federal medical officers.

After a careful study of all of the facts and evidence that was made available to the Committee, it is the opinion of the Committee that the Doctors of Osteo pathy, as well as the citizens of Georgia, are being unduly penalized by the DO not being given the right to an unlimited practice. The Committee feels that the citizens of Georgia will benefit greatly if the Bill that accompanies this report is passed by the General Assembly of Georgia.

Respectfully submitted,
ED T. FULFORD, Chairman Representative, Terrell County
DAVID L. NEWTON, Vice-Chairman Representative, Colquitt County
ROONEY L. BOWEN, Member Representative, Dooly County

INTRODUCTION
Attached to and made a part of this report as Appendix I is an "Outline of the Governor's Honors Program for 1964", which was prepared by the State Department of Education. This "Outline" provides a detailed summary of the purposes of the Honors Program and a description of how it is organized and carried out. The following remarks are very general and intended to be intro ductory only, and the reader is requested to refer to Appendix I for detailed information about the program.
In general, the Governor's Honors Program has two main purposes: (1) to locate Georgia's most gifted llth and 12th grade high school students and provide them with a challenging educational experience not available to them in the regular public schools, and (2) to provide teachers and others in the field of education an opportunity to learn to recognize and understand the gifted student in the ordinary school environment. To carry out these broad purposes, a state wide committee selects 400 of Georgia's most gifted llth and 12th grade high school students to participate in a special eight weeks educational program held during the summer. In 1964 this special program was held at Wesleyan College from 8th to July 31st.
Under the authority of House Resolution Number 558, the Speaker of the House of Representatives appointed a committee of seven members to visit Wesleyan College for the purpose of observing and making a report on the operation of the Governor's Honors Program for 1964. Accordingly, the Com mittee was organized and made arrangements to visit Wesleyan College on July 21, 1964 while the Governor's Honors Program was in progess. The report that follows attempts to briefly record the Committee's impression of the operation of the Governor's Honors Program and to evaluate the contributions it makes to the State of Georgia and its gifted students.

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

The Committee wishes to express its sincere appreciation to Dr. Edward C. Frierson, Resident Director of the Governor's Honors Program, and to his assistant, Mr. Raymond Hill, and to all members of the staff of the Governor's Honors Program for their very cordial reception of the Committee and for their excellent cooperation in explaining how the program works and what it is designed to accomplish.

THE GOVERNOR'S HONOR PROGRAM FOR 1964
The broad design of the special educational program offered to the gifted students at Wesleyan College was to allow each student to concentrate on a particular area of study according to his primary interests while also stressing the importance of general intellectual ability and the comprehensive development of the personality. As a result, the selection process provided for the nomination of students in particular fields of study (natural sciences, social sciences, mathematics, etc.) which made it possible to know the primary interest of each student in advance of the beginning of the course of instruction. In carrying out this design, a portion of each day's activity was devoted to study in the specific area of the student's interest while the remainder of the day was devoted to study outside the area of specialization and also to physical education and recreation (see Appendix I, pages 5 and 6 for an example of a typical day's activity). The Committee was given the opportunity to observe the students during all phases of the day's activity and was very favorably impressed with their enthusiastic response to the instruction offered during the entire day. The students demonstrated a very keen interest in all the instruction made available to them whether it was in their areas of specialization or in the areas of general intellectual achievement. The Committee believes, therefore, that the design of the course of insrtuction was well conceived, because from observa tion of and conversations with the participating students, it appears they are quite capable of appreciating the importance of general knowledge as well as special knowledge and responded to the instruction offered accordingly. These gifted students seem to realize that special knowledge tends to become isolated when it is not accompanied by a reasonable degree of general knowledge, and being isolated, it is less effective in contributing to the progress of mankind in general or to the progress of the individual in particular.
Closely related to the enthusiasm of the students during all phases of the instruction was the competency of the teachers and others who made up the staff. Attached to this report as Appendix II is a list of the members of the staff of the Governor's Honors Program for 1964. It is the consensus of the Committee members that the quality of the instruction presented to the students was superior. The teachers were able to stimulate and maintain the interest of the students by their expert presentation of the subject matter and by several teaching techniques such as team teaching, seminars, independent study and inquiry, which these gifted students responded to with enthusiasm. The fact that no grade or course credit was given for participating in the program did not diminish the interest or enthusiasm of the students. It appears that when a program of instruction is presented in a challenging manner in an environment where learning is of primary concern, the promise of increased knowledge is sufficient reward in itself to insure the enthusiastic participation of gifted students.
Although the primary emphasis was on intellectual development, the Governor's Honors Program fully recognized and stressed "... the relationship

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2691

between good physical fitness and good mental health." (Appendix I, p. 4). In this connection, a program of organized physical education and recreation was an important part of the eight weeks course, and the students appeared to enjoy participating in these activities.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Committee's observation of the Governor's Honors Program while it was in progress at Wesleyan College convinced each member that the Program makes important contributions to the furtherance of education in the State of Georgia. The Program was carried out efficiently and effectively by the very able people who made up the staff. The knowledge gained by the teachers and others responsible for the education of our youth is sure to be valuable since it will help enable them to recognize, understand, and encourage gifted students in the ordinary public school situation. Being better prepared to recognize gifted students and to understand teaching techniques which they are likely to respond to, makes it possible for our teacher to better utilize the intellectual resources of our State. The Governor's Honors Program for 1964 provides for a research and evaluation follow-up which will make available to all public school teachers in Georgia the information gained by their colleagues who actually participated in the Program. In this connection, the Committee recommends a wide distribution of the research and evaluation follow-up to all interested educators in the State.
The Committee also believes that the students who were selected to partici pate in the Program derived substantial benefits from their experience. Being exposed to this challenging educational adventure is very likely to have a lasting influence on the lives of most of those gifted students and will probably serve to inspire them to greater intellectual achievement.

The Committee's only recommendation for the improvement of the Governor's Honors Program is that students eligible to participate in the Program be con fined to those who have completed the llth grade. The members of the Com mittee unanimously agree that the Program serves a valuable purpose for the State and recommends that it be continued and expanded.

Outline of the Governor's Honors Program for 1964

1. Purposes
The Governor's Honors Program for the summer of 1964 is specifically designed:

2692

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

1. To describe and identify the characteristics of the most gifted, upcoming eleventh and twelfth grade students in Georgia's public secondary schools.

2. To provide gifted up-coming eleventh and twelfth grade students in Georgia's public secondary schools an opportunity to increase their in tellectual productivity by involvement in new subjects, new methods, and new learning environs.

3. To search out, develop and demonstrate teaching techniques and materials which can be used most effectively with gifted secondary students.

4. To offer teachers and counselors of gifted secondary students and ad ministrators and supervisory personnel a leadership (work study) pro gram which will help them to better understand the nature and needs of these students.

II. Description of Program.
In order to carry out the above purposes, the procedures discussed below will be followed during the summer of 1964.
1. Pour hundred students selected by a statewide selection committee from nominations made by public school superintendents will be brought to the Wesleyan College campus, Macon, Georgia, for an eight-week resi dential program. The program will be in session from June 8 to July 31. A five and one-half day a week instructional program will be offered to students by thirty odd staff members. The program will be designed to provide a balance of study and activity in three major areas: the develop ment of a specific aptitude or ability; the development of general intel lectual ability; and the understanding of self and others. Students will be scheduled to spend a portion of each day studying in a specific area (the area in which nominated). During this time, they will be given opportunities to explore academic disciplines within their areas which are not ordinarily found in a typical secondary school program. The student may specialize in one of the following areas: Natural sciences, social sciences, mathematics, linguistics (English or foreign languages), visual arts, music, and drama. Activities in each area will be presented in such a manner as to be unique and different from the way in which they are usually presented and carried out in the typical school. Course content will be "idea centered" and will stress the integration of knowledge. Con tent bounds for students will be determined only by the individual student's ability and interest. No grade or course credit will be given for any work done during the eight weeks.

The Natural Sciences
The natural science program will offer opportunities for students to do in dependent and original research in the fields of chemistry, physics, ecology and biology. Students enrolled in the ecology program will participate in a "Swamp Stompers" program which is a program of field trips and classroom and inde pendent study. Subjects of the trips may run from fossils and invertebrae col-

lections to a comparison of similar features found in differing environments in the areas visited.

The Social Sciences

The social sciences program will be built around studies in anthropolgy, philosophy, economics and political science. Students will be given an opportunity to study man in his environment; to better understand our culture through study ing other cultures; man's thoughts about man; our own political and economic institutions; and to be introduced to some of the disciplines of the social sciences. Linguistics and Foreign Languages

The linguistics program will feature both foreign languages and English. Studies in linguistics and literature will be offered to all students participating in both phases of this program. Students will study the structure of the English language as related to English and as related to foreign languages. Foreign language students will also be given an opportunity to become familiar with the culture and literature of the countries from which the languages they are studying are spoken. The improvement of language skills will also be a feature of this program.

Students participating in the English program will, in addition to the linguistics study, have an opportunity to examine the nature of man and the values he holds through a concentrated literature program in the humanities and through a study of Asian literature.

The Mathematics Program

The mathematics program will be designed to extend the student's present knowledge of mathematics and to encourage creativity and originality. Some of the fields of study that will be included in the program are: set theory, topology, probability in geometry, computer programing, elementary statistics and proper ties of the number systems and their applications. This program will attempt to impress upon participants the logical aspects of mathematics.

Drama

Drama students will have opportunities to study the history of the theatre and of acting. They will also be given opportunities to write and produce original plays. Other activities will include ths study of the nature of man and his values as reflected in drama and the theatre.

Music

It is assumed that the music pupils will have achieved a greater proficiency' in the performing medium than in the academic substance of music. Therefore the objectives of the music program will include:

1. Increase in knowledge of the academic discipline of music.

2. Increase in understanding of the relationship between this academic dis cipline and performance.

2694

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

3. Knowledge of the development of western civilization as it has helped to shape and develop music as an art.

4. Opportunities for performance of literature in media not normally avail able in the high school curriculum.

5. Maximum opportunity for development of individual inquiry, leading into projects such as research, writen composition, arranging, and learned writing.

6. Opportunities for aesthetic experiences in music through performing and listening for the non-music student in the Governor's Honors Program.

It is hoped that these young people can acquire a deep personal knowledge of music as an expression of part of man's search for the meaning of life.

The Visual Arts
In the visual arts section, participants will work with a wide range of art forms, including painting, graphics, sculpture, ceramics and architecture. Both historical and contemporary art concepts will be explored and experiments with new materials and processes will be conducted. Architectural problems of com munity and industrial living will be studied.
Visiting artists of national and regional reputation will give demonstrations in areas such as gouache and encaustic painting, cast and welded sculpture, serigraphy and other forms of print making. Students will have the opportunity of discussing their work with these visiting artists.
Exhibits by designer craftsmen, art directors, painters, sculptors, architects, interior designers, will be displayed throughout the summer session. Physical Education and Recreation
A well-planned and organized physical education and recreational program will be provided for all students. This particular phase of the program will emphasize an instructional program in activities which have carry over value into adult life. Opportunities for individual explorations into leisure time ac tivities, and participation in competitive activities designed to provide varied activities in a healthy competitive atmosphere will be available for all students. The relationship between good physical fitness and good mental health will be stressed throughout the entire eight weeks program.

Teaching Techniques
Teaching techniques for the program will be designed to provide an inter disciplinary approach to learning through the use of team teaching, seminars, inquiry, independent study, and other techniques appropriate to the gifted. Through the use of such techniques it is hoped that we can show innovations that can be adapted at the local level and innovations that stress ideas and the integration of knowledge as well as academic excellence and the development of specific abilities and aptitudes.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2695

The program will be designed to develop the general intellectual abilities of students through independent study in any of the specific curricula areas of fered; that is, students participating in the area of science as a specialized area will also have opportunities to explore areas outside of their major field of interest. Under the guidance of staff members, they may develop independent study projects in science, English, foreign languages, mathematics, drama, music, art, social sciences or in other areas in which they are interested.

The Basic Issues of Man

A major area of study and activity will provide opportunities for students to explore the "basic issues" of man that are of universal concern to all mankind. All students will be scheduled for seminars in which the "basic issues" will be discussed. These will be led by specially trained staff members. Study materials for this phase of the program will include the Basic Issues booklets and films prepared by the Center for Continuing Education, The University of Georgia, the Great Books of the Western World and other supplementary materials. It is hoped that through this phase of the program students will develop a basis for determining their own system of values and that they will have a better understanding of man and his nature.

Special Events

In addition to the activities described above, a number of special events are being planned. Students will have opportunities to meet and work with scholars and specialists not usually available in the regular school program.

Guidance and Counseling

A special guidance and counseling program will be available to all students. This program will help the student broaden his basis for understanding self and for making decisions about the future which are in keeping with his specific abilities.

Daily Schedule

The daily schedule for students will provide opportunities for participation in all of the activities outlined. Schedules for individual students may vary according to interest and needs. Activities will be scheduled according to the schedule given below.

TIME 8:00 - 8:30 a.m. 8:45 - 10:30 a.m. 10:45 - 12:30

III. Leadership Conference

One of the objectives for the Governor's Honors Program for the summer of 1964, relates to leadership training in the area of the gifted. In order to reach this objective, a special leadership conference for teachers and counselors of secondary gifted students, administrators, and supervisory personnel will be held on the Wesleyan College campus during the week of June 29 - July 3. Participants will have opportunities to do intensive study in the psychology of the gifted, to observe student activities, to examine materials being used, to discuss admini strative arrangements and counseling programs for the gifted and to work with national and state leaders in special education for the gifted.

IV. Research and Evaluation
A research design for the evaluation of purposes outlined for the Governor's Honors Program for the summer of 1964, is being developed by a research com mittee. Research and evaluation activities will include:

1. A complete report on all phases of the program

2. A comparative study of identification instruments to use in identifying gifted secondary students

The Committee to Study County Matters was created by House Resolution 50, as amended by House Resolution 113, and the Speaker appointed as members of the Committee, Representatives Leonard of Murray, Hudgins of Chattahoochee, Underwood of Taylor, Moore of Stephens, McKemie of Clay, NeSmith of Meriwrether, Murphy of Haralson, Howell of Early, Herndon of Appling, Paris of Barrow, Black of Webster, and Snow of Walker. Representative Murphy was

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2703

appointed Chairman, and at the organizational meeting Representative Paris was elected Vice-Chairman and Representative Snow was elected Secretary.

The primary objective of the Committee was to hear the problems presently facing the counties of Georgia, and to seek legislative solution to many of these problems. The Committee studied various records in the fields of taxation, power of counties, home rule, and county planning; and heard voluminous testimony from experts familiar with the problems now besetting the counties of Georgia. There is on file with the Office of the Legislative Counsel copies of statements, reports, and the minutes of the meetings of the Committee for the inspection and further study by the membership of the General Assembly. The Committee makes the following findings and recommendations:

HOME RULE:
From testimony received from both the Association of County Commissioners and the Georgia Municipal Association, it was readily determined that because of the magnitude of problems confronting units of government as population trends change and the needs and demands of the public for local services con tinually increase, that some uniform legislation authorizing local governing au thorities to govern their property, affairs and local government would be desirable and beneficial to the people of Georgia.
The impending reapportionment of the Georgia House of Representatives lends credence to the need for Home Rule legislation for the counties of Georgia in view of the possibility of one representative having as many as three or more counties in his representative district. When reapportionment occurs, a repre sentative with a multiple county district will find it difficult to be well informed on the local problems which could be expeditiously handled by the local governing authorities.
Under the Home Rule legislation recommended herein, no local regulation could be passed which is presently covered by the general laws of Georgia, and the counties are expressly preempted in the recommended legislation from passing local acts in the areas affecting the composition or compensation of other elected county offices, adoption of criminal laws, and laws governing taxation beyond that authorized by law. The committee feels that the resolution and the enabling statute authorizing Home Rule, attached hereto as "Exhibit A", contain sufficient checks and balances by the General Assembly over certain areas of county gov ernment, while also authorizing the counties to handle on a local level those problems which will arise and which will deserve immediate attention by the local governing authority.
This Committee feels strongly that a resolution providing for constitutional authority for Home Rule is more desirable than a resolution placing all the powers and limitations of counties in the Constitution itself. Enabling Home Rule legisla tion authorized by general constitutonal authority will enable the legislation to undergo a testing period after passage, and areas where change may be needed after implementation can be made by the General Assembly without re quiring other constitutional amendments. This Committee recommends the Home Rule Resolution and the Home rule enabling Bill attached hereto, for passage in this 1965 session of the General Assembly.

2704 TAXATION:

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Throughout the course of its study, the Committee was repeatedly confronted with the recurring need for revision of our general laws governing the taxing powers of counties. The Committee found that the methods of assessing and
evaluating property for taxation purposes differ from county to county, and that a wide discrepancy exists in the taxing structure between those counties which have undergone reevaluation of property and those that have yet to reevaluate their property.

The Committee, in its study, found that counties presently switch funds with in the framework of the fields in which levies are made for taxes. It further found that though there are certain areas in which the millage rate for tax purposes was limited by law, the majority of areas for which taxes could be levied were unlimited in amount. There does not exist in Georgia any all-inclusive limit on what a county can actually tax its citizens under existing law. As a result of its findings, the Committee feels that the counties are presently operat ing under a subterfuge and that a modernized tax law should be adopted where by the counties would have authority to levy taxes to the extent that they are actually needed in any given field. The Committee therefore recommends that the county governing authority be authorized to levy taxes necessary to properly perform its services in any given area, and which will in turn properly inform the public of how much money is being spent in a given field, by recodifying Sec tions 92-3701 through 92-3717, Georgia Code Annotated, in accordance with the proposed legislation attached hereto and identified as "Exhibit B".

The Committee expresses its appreciation to the representatives of the As sociation of County Commissioners; the Georgia Municipal Association; Mr. Thomas Sangster, Director of the Property Tax Unit, State Revenue Depart ment; and its special thanks to Mr. Edward B. Liles, County Attorney for Glynn County, for their suggestions and assistance in furnishing beneficial information to the Committee. Special appreciation is also extended to the Office of Legislative Counsel for their counsel and advice.

REPORT OP THE COMMITTEE CREATED TO MAKE AN INVESTIGATION INTO SCHOOL BUS TRANSPORTATION IN GEORGIA
Resolution Act No. 208, Approved March 11, 1964
(Ga. Laws 1964, p. 404)
INTRODUCTION:
At the 1964 Regular Session of the General Assembly of Georgia, a joint Resolution was adopted creating a joint interim legislative committee to make a thorough and intensive investigation into school bus transportation in Georgia. This resolution was approved by the Governor on March 11, 1964. It is num bered Resolution Act No. 208 and can be found in the 1964 Georgia Laws, page 404.
The Committee was authorized to determine if the needs of Georgia school children relative to school bus transportation were being furnished in the most efficient and economical way possible, consistent with the welfare and safety of the students being transported. The Committee was authorized and directed to consider improved methods of administration of school bus transportation and to study school bus transportation systems presently in use in other states and jurisdictions.
The resolution provided that the Committee would be composed of six (6) members; three of whom would be members of the Senate appointed by the President of the Senate and three of whom would be members of the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

2714

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The President of the Senate (Lieutenant Governor) appointed the following members:
Honorable Culver Kidd Senator, 25th District
Honorable Robert A. Rowan Senator, 8th District
Honorable Ford B. Spinks Senator, 9th District
The Speaker of the House of Representatives appointed the following mem bers:
Honorable Talmadge B. Echols Representative, Upson County
Honorable Jack Etheridge Representative, Fulton County
Honorable Fred H. Walker Representative, Lowndes County

An organizational meeting of said Committee was held on September 18, 1964, at the State Capitol. At the organizational meeting of the Committee, Honorable Talmage B. Echols, Representative, Upson County, was elected Chairman, and Honorable Ford B. Spinks, Senator, 9th District, was elected Secretary.

EXTENT OF STUDY AND FINDINGS:
The Committee first familiarized itself with the resolution creating the Committee. The Committee determined that the purpose of the resolution was to authorize the Committee to make a through and intensive investigation into school bus transportation in Georgia. The purpose of said investigation was to determine if the needs of Georgia school children for school bus transportation are being furnished in the most efficient and economical way possible, consistent with the welfare and safety of the students being transported. The Committee was also authorized and directed, to consider improved methods of school bus transportation systems presently in use in other states and jurisdictions.

The Committee determined that the Office of Legislative Counsel was au thorized to provide the Committee with such assistance as may be required by it and that the State Board of Education was authorized and directed to co operate fully with the Committee and to furnish it with all information available relative to school bus transportation. The Committee further determined that it was authorized to employ persons necessary to carry out the provisions of the resolution and to expend funds for securing of information and data from other sources.
Pursuant to the provisions of the resolution, the Chairman was requested to seek assistance from the State Department of Education, the Governor's Com mission for Efficiency and Improvement in Government and the Office of Legis lative Counsel. Pursuant to said request, Honorable Claude Purcell, State Super intendent of Schools, and Honorable Joe T. DeFoor, Assistant Administrative

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2715

Director, Division of Administrative Services, State Department of Education, agreed to assist the Committee in every way possible; Honorable Rodman Porter, Staff Secretary of the Governor's Commission for Efficiency and Improvement in Government, was made available by the Commission as a consultant to the Committee; and Frank H. Edwards, Legislative Counsel, readily made the facili ties of his office available and assigned a Deputy Legislative Counsel to the Committee.

The Committee then directed its attention to ascertaining the laws of the State of Georgia and rules and regulations adopted pursuant to such laws rela tive to school bus transportation. The Committee ascertained that the primary responsibility of enforcing the laws of the State of Georgia relating to school bus transportation was vested in the State Board of Education under the admin istration of the State Superintendent of Schools and that the responsibility of administering the laws relative to school bus transportation had been delegated to Honorable Joe T. DePoor, Administrative Director, Division of Administrative Services, State Department of Education.

The Committee found that State funds for school bus transportation were made available pursuant to the provisions of the "Minimum Foundation of Edu cation Act" approved January 24, 1964 (Ga. Laws 1964, p. 3).

COMMITTEE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
(a) UNIFORM PURCHASING:
The Committee has inquired into the methods of purchasing school bus trans portation equipment, including the buses themselves in this State. This inquiry has also encompassed the various methods of purchase of fuel, tires and other necessary supplies and parts. This Committee has into inquired into the tech niques and methods of purchase employed in other states, such as South Caro lina, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama and Florida.
The Committee has determined, as a result of its inquiry, that Georgia does not have an effective, economical, nor a uniform system of purchase of the above stated items. The absence of such a system also makes manifest anabsence of uniform specifications for these items. The Committee, therefore, recommends that the State Board of Education; local school systems, and all appropriate officials of the State immediately implement new and more efficient methods of mass purchasing under term or other type contracts subject to bids and rigid uniform specifications.
The lack of a uniform purchasing program in the State of Georgia is costly to the taxpayer of the State. The investigation by the Committee reveals that other states which have instituted a program of centralized mass purchase of school buses, there have been savings of from $300 to $500 per unit over the former system of local purchasing. The various school systems of the State purchase annually approximately 450 to 500 vehicles. It can be readily seen that savings through a mass purchasing plan could result in the continuous saving of many thousand of dollars to Georgia taxpayers each year. The cen tralized mass purchasing plan would afford more adequate control of the stand ards of safety in school bus transportation in Georgia.

2716

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Another example of savings effected by sister states is in the purchase of gasoline. We find that they are buying gasoline at prices from 11 cents per gallon to 13 cents per gallon depending upon the octane rating, exclusive of State tax.

The Committee is informed that in some local systems of the State they are already buying gasoline in bulk quantities at prices comparable to that mentioned as cost in other States.

Still another advantage to be gained from uniform mass purchasing would be to limit the sizes of school buses into a few types so as to get larger purchases for fewer designs; this would in turn standardize replacement parts and equip ment and simplify training of mechanics and other maintenance personnel.

In order that an effective system of mass purchasing of school bus equip ment and supplies can be placed into operation, it is the opinion of this Com mittee that Section 46 of Act 523 (S.B. 180) should be amended to eliminate the following words:

"that no guarantee is made that any purchase will be made from the successful bidder as a result of such bidding".

The Committee, after having studied several other states' methods of mass purchasing, feels that it will be necessary to have the county boards of educa tion commit themselves to purchase whatever bus needs they have from the suc cessful bidder at the declared successful price, otherwise, it will be impossible to get the lowest and best bid from a manufacturer without a guarantee of a minimum number of units to be purchased.
We find that tires and tubes can now be had at State contract prices.
Under regulation of the Department of Education, the respective systems are allow bus replacement funds based on the cost of bus chassis amortized over a five-year period and bus bodies amortized over a ten-year period. These funds are distributed to the various systems in ten equal payments each year. The local system is required by the Department to expend these funds within three year from their receipt for the purchase of new buses.
As one step toward the consistent and uniform purchase of the bus trans portation equipment, the Committee suggests that these funds continue to be allotted to the respective systems on the basis provided by the Department, but that same be held to the credit of the respective systems as other State funds are held in escrow and that the local systems be permitted to buy school buses out of these funds as the need arises and as funds accrue to their credit. Periodi cally, the local systems should be provided with a statement of their balance in these escrowed funds.
There are several advantages in this method of purchasing buses which might be listed:
(1) The funds held and not in use could be placed at interest and thereby earning a considerable amount of interest on otherwise idle funds;
(2) The Department could be assured that buses meeting specifications and

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2717

safety standards promulgated by the Department would be delivered under each order; and

(3) The Department will know new and approved buses are being bought by the various systems as present regulation provides.

(b) DRIVER TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS:
The Committee finds no planned program of pre-training or on-the-job train ing of school bus drivers in our State.
The Committee recommends that before the employment of any school bus driver, he or she should be adequately trained and tested and subsequently at tend periodic courses on school bus first-line maintenance and safety techniques. Such courses should serve as refresher studies on Georgia traffic laws and in general this course should serve to renew every bus driver's concern about traffic safety and refresh his knowledge of driving techniques.
The Committee recommends that consideration be given to providing this training and testing in the Area Vocational Training Schools. The Committee further suggests that these schools be conducted jointly by the State Board of Education, the State Patrol, and perhaps the local officials, as well as appro priate agencies of the University of Georgia Institute of Law and Government.
All school bus drivers should be required by the State Board of Education to have a certificate of performance of graduation from a recognized driver training school or vocational-technical school as prescribed by the State Depart ment of Education as authorized by an Act known as the "Minimum Foundation Program of Education Act' approved February 24, 1964, (Ga. Laws 1964, p. 3).
The Committee realizes that additional personnel will have to be provided in the Division of Administration of the Department of Education for the imple mentation of this important mission.
The Committee finds no evidence of a uniform manual in the code of instruc tions for school bus drivers in Georgia. We find that in our sister states, very comprehensive manuals are given to each driver and upon each driver is placed the responsibility of following the manual.
It is, therefore, recommended that the Department of Education proceed immediately to make arrangements for the preparation of and distribution to every school bus driver in Georgia, as well as each school superintendent, an appropriate manual setting forth the traffic laws of this State relative to the use of school buses, as well as other subject matter which might be appropriate for such instruction manual.

(c) SAFETY:
The Committee notes and wishes to commend the Department of Education for its initiative in promulgating specifications, procedures, etc. for implement ing a better and safer school bus transportation system. We make the following recommendations in regard to safety as an aid in furthering its objectives:

2718

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

The Committee feels that in view of the potential hazard to passengers of school buses, it is extremely important that two safety inspections be made each year. These inspections should be conducted in accordance with the "Motor Vehicles Inspection Law" at inspection stations established in accordance with the Law during the period July 1st to September 1st and December 1st to Janu ary 15th and as frequently as practicable by the staff of the Department of Education. It is noted that in Section 18, Subsection (b) of S.B. 180, the State Board of Education was authorized to establish minimum standards and require ments respecting maintenance, repair and inspection of school buses. This Com mittee feels that the Department of Education should require strict and immedi ate compliance with all standards which it has or might hereafter establish, de ferring the payment of any funds for school bus transportation, on a pro rata basis, where compliance is not made. We feel that the twice yearly inspection as suggested above could be in lieu of the present annual inspection of school buses by the Department of Public Safety.

(d) MAINTENANCE:
The Committee finds that in the State of Georgia, we have no uniform and consistent program for the maintenance of school buses and equipment. We find in some other states that the state or the local systems provide uniform shops adequately equipped to repair and maintain school bus equipment and that gen erally this promotes much more adequate and efficient inspection procedures leading to safer operation of buses, as well as promoting economy. Other states consulted have demonstrated through experience that a maintenance shop is justified and indeed necessary in any system with more than twenty buses. The savings to the local system and the establishment of such maintenance shops in other states as opposed to the continuation of private contract maintenance arrangements, do justify the initial capital expense of the construction and supplying of a maintenance shop. The estimated cost of a standard three bay maintenance shop fully equipped in North Carolina, for example, is $25,000.00. Additional advantages, of course, arise from centrally maintained shops such as central underground gas tanks, central parking areas, and central storing for supplies.
The Committee recommends that the Department of Education promulgate plans and specifications for standardized shops, such as mentioned above, and encourage the erection thereof in the respective counties or areas which lend themselves economically to such use.

(e) REPORTING OF ACCIDENTS:
We feel that all physical contact accidents in which a school bus is involved should be reported without regard to dollars amount damages.
An improvement has been made in the report of accidents in recent months.
Since July 1, 1964, the Department of Education has been getting current accident reports in which school buses were involved from local superintendents in addition to the regular copies of such accident reports from the Department of Public Safety. The reports for the first four months (September through December, 1964) have been tabulated. This tabulation shows a total of 105 acci dents, of which 58 were reported to the Department of Public Safety. If this

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2719

trend continues for the balance of the current school year, the ultimate total for the year will be 236 accidents of which only 130 will be required to be reported to the Department of Public Safety.

This tabulation and projection would indicate that there have been 44.8% more accidents than have been reported to the Department of Public Safety in the past. Such tabulation and projection will enable a more complete statistical report of the safety record of the school bus program in Georgia. It would also make possible a more valid comparison of the statistical reports of other states.

(f) INSURANCE:
The Committee recommends that a self-insurance program be set up by the State Department of Education to cover liability and property damage resulting from accident or collision in which school buses are involved. This plan would protect the school children and drivers riding school buses to and from school. The Committee feels that a contribution into the fund equal to the present $30 per bus allowed by the State Department of Education would be sufficient to establish the fund and in a few years, this amount could be substantially reduced without endangering the solvency of the fund. This would naturally eventually result in substantial savings in the school bus insurance program in the State of Georgia. The Committee learned that in the State of Alabama, this annual contribution per bus has been reduced over a period of years to the present figure of $5 per bus and this sum has proved to be ample.
In view of the fact that State law prohibits the use of school buses for extracurricular purposes, the Committee suggests that the Department of Edu cation inform the superintendents of the respective local systems as to the limi tations of their insurance coverage.
Although the Committee prefers a self-insurance program, the Committee also finds that there is no proper supervision in the Department of Education over the insurance carried on school buses and school bus passengers. Unless and until a self-insurance program is put into effect, we recommend that the State Board of Education take immediate steps to require continuing certification by the local boards that, as a minimum, buses under the Board supervision are insured as required by law and Department regulations to protect authorized passengers and the public.

(g) PUBLIC OWNERSHIP:
The Committee finds in Georgia that there are three types of ownership of school buses: (1) public ownership, the local boards; (2) private ownership, the contract carriers; and (3) joint ownership, in which case the contract carrier owns the chasis, and the local system owns the body.
Having found from the experience of other states and from the study of the present situation in this State, that joint and private ownership is not eco nomical as compared to public ownership, we urge the local systems to proceed as promptly as possible to obtain title to all school buses within their system. The Committee further feels that even if it is necessary to negotiate with the present owners to buy their buses, that this would be in the best interest of the system.

2720

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(h) DRIVING PERSONNEL:

The Committee has investigated the system of employing school bus drivers in several of our neighboring sister states. We find according to figures of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, that North Carolina has the lowest per capita cost of the fifty states in transporting students to public schools. South Carolina rates next in this per capita cost.

One of the contributing factors to the low cost in the aforementioned states is the wide utilization of qualified and available student drivers. North Carolina uses 92% student drivers. South Carolina uses 95% student drivers. In the above states, all accidents are reported in which school buses are involved with out regard to dollar damage. The officials in both of the above states tells us there is no noticeable difference in the accident rate of boy student drivers, girl student drivers, or adult drivers.

Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, Inc. of Cornell University, Buffalo, New York, has conducted an investigation of school bus accidents in North Carolina which has been documented under their Report No. VJ-1823-R-6, June, 1964. This investigation was supported by funds from the U. S. Public Health Service, Bureau of State Services, and the Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc. Quoted below is the paragraph giving the key findings of the above mentioned investigation of 898 school bus accidents during the school year 1962-63.

"The most basic question is, of course, 'What is the accident rate of the young drivers as compared to the older ones?' Records available to ACIR cover ing the 1962-1963 school year covered 7825 student drivers who drove their buses 54,172,773 miles (almost all of which was on the normal route to and from school). During this time, they experienced 130 accidents severe enough to pro duce injury or death. This amounts to a rate of 2.4 injury or fatal accidents per million vehicle miles. In addition, there were records of 754 older drivers who covered 5,837,668 miles and had 12 injury accidents for a rate of 2.1. These two rates do not differ to a degree that is statistically significant."

Florida has achieved 42nd place in the per capita cost comparison using adult drivers through the expanded use of the buses. By staggering school hours, the bus and the driver are being more fully utilized and substantial savings resulted.

The Committee finds in states in which studies were made and student drivers used, that the scale of pay was $30 to $35 a month for twenty school days. This pay is limited to the nine-month school year resulting in a total cost of $270 to $315 per year per driver.

Also, we were impressed by the information given us by officials in other states as to the side benefits of employing student drivers. In many cases, stu dents from needy families are given these jobs and this pay serves as a sort of scholarship for a deserving student to continue in high school which in some instances prevents dropouts for economic reasons. Also, this program is very effective in developing leadership qualities in the youth who qualify as drivers. In order, further, to make driving of school buses attractive to students, the local people give safe driving awards, have banquets for school bus drivers, and give passes to athletic events and local movie houses, etc.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2721

The Committee was impressed with responses from directors of transporta tion in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina as to discipline achieved by student drivers. Each of these directors indicated that insofar as the use of student drivers was concerned, there did not exist any peculiar problem in refer ence to discipline. Each of these persons stated that student drivers maintain as good or perhaps better discipline than they had observed being maintained by adults. The Florida officials that the Committee talked to felt that the use of student drivers was not applicable to the transportation system in Florida. The Florida school system is now made up of more than 50% women drivers and is continuing to change toward more women drivers. This is due mainly to the fact that school bus driving was a part-time job and they could more readily obtain qualified women drivers.

We find that under existing school laws in Georgia, student drivers are permitted and some systems are presently employing student drivers and women drivers.

The Committee finds that in the State of Florida, for example, they are doing an excellent job of transporting students in the public schools at a very economical cost. They accomplish this by using competent drivers, both men and women, and staggering the hours of their schools so that each driver can make several trips, therefore utilizing to the fullest the equipment and the time of the driver.

While the Committee feels that there can be no hard and fast rule or regu lation that adult drivers or student drivers shall be used exclusively, we do see definite advantages economically as practiced by some of our sister states' utilization of properly trained and qualified students drivers.

The Committee urges that each local school system continue to be paid on the adult driver salary basis and any saving that will come about through the use of students must be used by that particular school system for other educa tional purposes. This, we know, will necessitate an amendment to our present law (S.B. 180).

Any change by any local system to a student driver program should be implemented gradually so as not to interfere with the continued employment of adult drivers presently employed, except as they drop out through natural attri tion.

(i) FUEL TAX REBATE:
The Committee recommends that legislation be enacted by the General As sembly to rebate the tax on gasoline used in school buses and other vehicles that are used in support of the school bus transportation system in the State of Georgia. This legislation, because of the Fuel Tax Law as it now exists in the State of Georgia, should be on the basis of refunds to the 159 county school systems in the State of Georgia and can be made on a quarterly refund basis. This refund would be available only to those county school systems which pur chase in bulk quantities of 500 gallons or more per delivery and the refund would apply only to gasoline used in buses and allied maintenance vehicles owned by the county school boards.

2722

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

Attached hereto is Exhibit "A" prepared by the Division of Administration of the Department of Education indicating the potential saving to the local school systems in the respective counties if gasoline can be bought exempt from States taxes.

(j) POTENTIAL SAVINGS:
The Committee is aware that the potential savings is not the most important part of transporting students; however, we do find areas that present oppor tunities for saving many tax dollars.
The Committee suggests that immediate steps be taken to implement pro cedures and routes to achieve more complete utilization of buses and drivers without regard to county lines. It is readily apparent that the maximum optimum saving in the field of school bus transportation can only be achieved though a policy that will permit a child to attend and be transported to a school nearest his home.
The Committee conducted no study of school bus "dead-heading" during school hours in violation of Board regulations; however, we would observe that violation of this rule appears widespread.
We cite some comparison with costs in South Carolina. Theirs is not the lowest cost, but that state does pay the entire cost and certain other conditions are more nearly similar to ours.
Quoting from the latest figures available to us from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, South Carolina had a total cost of $17.51 per student per year in 1962-63. Prom the same year and quoting from the same source, Georgia had cost of $33.43. This would indicate a potential saving in the overall operation of $15.92 per student per year. This source would indicate total potential savings of 437,663 (students eligible for aid in 1962-63) times $15.92 or $6,967,594.96. Since 1962-63, some savings have been effected, but the relative potential savings will have changed little.
Looking at it another way and using figures furnished by the respective Departmens of Education in South Carolina and Georgia for the year 1962-63, Georgia had overall average operating cost of 30.3^ per bus mile. Comparable South Carolina figure is 16.2^. The excess cost in Georgia of 14.1# times total Georgia school bus mileage of 51,220,837 totals $5,378,218. Therefore, it would seem that savings of approximately $6 million are possible.

(k) LEGISLATION:
In order to implement the Committee recommendations, the Committee finds that it will be necessary to prepare the following bills for enactment by the General Assembly:
(1) Eliminate contract ownership of school buses;
(2) Provide for rebates of State motor fuel tax to county systems for gasoline used in publicly owned school buses and related service units;

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2723

(3) To provide for alternate method of licensing school bus drivers;

(4) Amend Act No. 523 (S.B. 180) to require purchases under a mass pur chasing system if the school system enters into a State voluntary centralized
purchasing program.

(1) GENERAL COMMENTS AND SUMMARY:
We find that the State of North Carolina has pioneered many common sense and revolutionary aspects of the essential function of transporting students to public schools. Their present system had its genesis about thirty years ago. It has grown more proficient with the years. There has been and there is now no public demand to go back to the old ways of contract carriers, independent buying by local systems, etc. Quite to the contrary, we find general public ap proval and praise for the efficient, adequate and well-ordered system they have developed.

We attach hereto as Exhibit "B" a statement made by Mr. C. C. Brown, Director of Transportation, State Board of Education in the State of North Carolina. We feel that this is a fair statement of the experience of North Caro lina in the area of pupil transportation and this information should be of great interest to members of the General Assembly and to other interested persons.

The State of South Carolina, beginning in 1952, completely overhauled its system of student transportation patterning in many respects the methods of North Carolina. South Carolina went one step further in that the state assumed complete responsibility and liability for this function. The local systems only keep certain records, employ and supervise drivers and are responsible for dis cipline of students. In South Carolina also there is only approbation for its proficient system.

The State of Florida has developed a somewhat less efficient system of transportation for students by staggering school hours, utilizing adult men and women drivers and their vehicles for multiple trips. The utilization of a similar system in Georgia would depend almost entirely upon the practicability or willing ness to stagger school hours.

Your Committee finds that in most counts, the Georgia system of student transportation is completely outdated. There is general lack of planning, coordi nation of driver training and safety precautions in general. This is an essential function of the State in which business-like and economic modernization could result in a bonanza for the Georgia taxpayers and a source of pride, safety and training for our students and general approbation by parents and the public.

If and when the General Assembly decides it is in the public interest to reduce from 1% miles to say 1 mile the limitation from school for eligibility to ride school buses, then and in that event a portion of the savings suggested in this report could be utilized to transport these additional students, without regard to city limit lines.

In conclusion, we would point out some of the more obvious contributing factors to the higher cost of this student transportation service in Georgia. They are as follows:

2724

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

(1) The structural organization pattern of public school education in Geor gia. There are 197 school administrative units, 159 of which have two trans portation programs each excepting five that have one program each. They trans port from 255 pupils to over 25,000 pupils. Therefore, we have an organizational pattern that constitutes a built-in guarantee that is not conducive to efficient and economical operation. This can be said of any phase of school administration. Georgia has as many as three or four times as many such units as some of our neighboring states.

(2) Organization of attendance areas. We have no standards for attendance areas. Little schools losing population rather frequently enlarge their attendance areas to increase their enrollments. Growing systems frequently transport pupils across attendance area lines even to the extent of transporting pupils who reside within a reasonable walking distance to their community schools.

(3) Influence of certain Acts of the General Assembly.

(a) Legislated salaries of bus drivers. This has not been done for teachers.

(b) Legislated State taxes on gasoline and other consumable supplies used by school buses. To illustrate, witness the 6%# State tax on gasoline. Over $600,000 can be saved at the local level with the removal of the per gallon State tax.

(c) Legalized the contract type of ownership of buses. (Acts 1947, pp. 14-61 and 1462) . A total of 650 contract buses were operated in 1963-64.

(4) Buses older than the depreciation age. In the school year (1963-64) 2736 chassis more than five years of age and 919 bodies more than 10 years of age were operated. Such equipment is more expensive to operate and in many cases, poses safety hazards to students and the public generally. The moneys presently appropriated to the respective school systems should be channeled into the purchase of new, modern and safe school buses as contemplated by the law and regulation of the Department.

(5) Small staff at the State level. The Georgia State level staff consists of one director, two area consultants and a secretary. Act 523 requires the State Board of Education to allocate drivers. Doing the necessary survey to ascertain the number of buses and annual miles along with expanded service needed in the areas of State Purchasing, an adequate safety program, training of drivers, establishing standard cost allowances, adjustment surveys, etc., will require a staff commensurate with the responsibilities.

TO: Superintendents of County School Systems PROM: Joe T. DeFoor RE: Exempting State Tax on Gasoline Used by School Buses

Much has been said about costs of school bus transportation. Rather infre quently does anyone show why or what is in the costs or who is responsible for some of the costs.

Attached is a table showing the estimated costs to county system boards of education because of the 6% cents State tax on gasoline used in school buses. You will observe that if this tax were removed your county would benefit by a very creditable amount. Take a look at the table. I think you will agree with me.

Every time Georgia's transportation cost is compared with other states' costs it is always with states that exempt transportation. No one ever mentions this fact.

I wish you would join me in getting this tax removed from gasoline used by school buses. You know it inflates Georgia's costs. The only one to profit from it is the Revenue Department. It makes them look good and school transportation look bad.

If you will help me I wish you would show this table to your Representatives and Senators.

SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS
By Mr. C. C. Brown, Director of Transportation
State Board of Education
North Carolina
North Carolina, with high school students holding more than ninety per cent of her some 8,200 school bus driving positions, has made the most extensive use of a system that now finds approximately twenty-three states using some stu dents to drive school buses. Why?
First, schools can be more selective when employing drivers. Few competent adults will take on the responsibility of driving a school bus for $25.00 (base pay in North Carolina) a month. Therefore, when an effort is made to employ adults exclusively, many must be hired who are not qualified. On the other hand, inasmuch as students are anxious to accept such positions, administrators can be highly selective when picking students to drive. Since administrators can, in many cases, select students who live at or near the end of the bus route, the expense practice of back-tracking is made unnecessary. This eliminates thousands of miles of empty bus operation each day.
Opponents of the use of student school bus drivers claim that it is not realis tic to hire teen-age drivers to operate a school bus because their record con sistently show a higher incidence of traffic violations and accidents than most

2730

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

other age groups. When compared as a group, teen-agers admittedly have more than their share of the violations and accidents; however, it can usually be found that a small percentage of the drivers in each age group is responsible for a large number of the violations and accidents. Consequently, we operate on the theory that through well defined selective procedures we can eliminate most of the poor risks among our student applicants. On the other hand, we feel that most of the adult drivers we could employ for three times the amount of $25.00 a month would fall in the lower percentile of their age group as driving risks. Some few counties subsidize the state salary by $60.00 to $80.00 per month in the hope of attracting better personnel for this work. However, there is reason to believe that such subsidies only encourage larger numbers of poorly qualified adults to seek positions as school bus drivers.

The school principal occupies the key position in the selection of student drivers. The alert principal will carefully screen his applicants well in advance of the time they will be selected to attend the training course. A student who has demonstrated the characteristics of a good citizen in his school and com munity can be considered a good bet to become a good school bus driver.

Second, students are familiar with operation. As a passenger for the past nine or ten years on the bus which he will probably be assigned to drive, the student is familiar with many details of the task he will perform. During this period of observation he learns a great deal about driving, care of a school bus, duties of a school bus driver, school bus route and patrons of the route. In many cases, furthermore, he will have the opportunity to serve as a substitute driver or monitor prior to becoming a regular driver. Therefore, when he is selected to drive a school bus, he possesses much of the knowledge that is essential to the safety and efficiency of the operation.

Third, the student driver can be subjected to a more intensive training pro gram. Adults consider driving a school bus a part time job and many are reluc tant to attend training sessions on their own time. Since training classes gen erally are held during regular school hours, students are available for such purposes. Moreover, their presence at weekly and monthly safety meetings and other in-service training activities is assured. It is difficult to schedule these important events for adult drivers.

One of the major arguments against the use of student school bus drivers is based on the contention that the teen-agers have not had sufficient experience to handle a vehicle as large as a school bus. While we recognize that there is no complete substitute for experience, we do feel that an intensive training program can compensate for many of the disadvantages that are inherited when inexperi enced drivers are hired. Therefore, if student drivers are to be employed, the importance of an efficient training program takes an added significance.

In North Carolina, we require all of our school bus driver applicants to take a minimum of twelve hours of classroom instruction and six hours of behindthe-wheel instruction. Many receive 25-30 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction before they are certified. In addition to these requirements, each student has already received a minimum of ten hours of instruction in traffic laws and high way safety (required of all high school students in North Carolina) and many have had the standard course of instruction in driver education (30 hours of classroom and 6 hours of behind-the-wheel).

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2731

The responsibility for conducting the huge training program that the use of student drivers requires in North Carolina is shared jointly by the State Board of Education and the Department of Motor Vehicles. Teachers employed by the Department of Motor Vehicles as Field Representatives work in close co operation with the public school officials of each county on a full-time (12 month) basis in an effort to provide each school with adequate drivers and substitute drivers. The County Pupil Transportation Supervisor helps conduct the training sessions and in every case he road tests the applicant before he is certified. He is also a co-signer of the driver's certificate.

If the use of student drivers is to be practiced on a state-wide basis, it is believed that in order to assure uniformity of training, and to avoid excessive costs, the training program should be supervised from the state level. However, if it is neither possible nor practical to operate from the state level, it is con ceivable that a county unit could very efficiently operate such a program utiliz ing the service of one full-time or part-time teacher--depending on the size of the operation. The local school unit could, moreover, operate such a program by integrating it into its driver education program--providing such a program is included in the curriculum and the instructor has sufficient time available to take on additional responsibility. In either case, the instructor should have special training in school bus operation in addition to training in driver education.
Fourth, adequate substitute drivers are available when students are used. Few adults are interested in serving as substitute drivers. Students are willing to accept such an assignment because they know it will enhance their possibili ties of becoming regular drivers. This is convenient to the school principal be cause it saves him from having to search for substitute drivers when emergen cies occur. Knowing that a qualified driver is available to replace him, the regular driver is less prone to become negligent in discharging his duties.

Fifth, student drivers make it possible for school officials to exercise close supervision over the transportation system. Students are under the direct super vision of the principal during the entire school day. In addition, students hold greater respect for the authority of the principal and are more conscientious about carrying out his regulations. Many principals claim that the use of student drivers make their administrative responsibility to the pupil transportation sys tem less complex and time consuming. School buses are parked on the school grounds during the school day.

Of all the elements that are necessary to assure the safe and efficient opera tion of the pupil transportation system utilizing student drivers, close super vision is probably the most important. Supervision of the transportation system is no different from supervision of other activities of the school. The visitor to the classroom, athletic field or assembly can in most cases readily detect how effectively the students of a school are supervised. Such is the case with school bus operation--watch the buses load and unload their passengers, see them dis patched from the school grounds in the afternoon, observe them on their runs, and, you can, with few exceptions, predict with reasonable accuracy the accident experience of a school's fleet of buses. If the principal utilizes fully the advan tage of supervision he has gained in using students to drive his school buses, he can feel reasonably sure his transportation system will function safely and efficiently. However, when he fails to provide the needed supervision, the school transportation system will not be as safe and efficient as it could be.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Sixth, highway patrolmen inspect driving habits, cleanliness of bus, condition of route, and mechanical condition of buses. North Carolina's force of 581 highway patrolmen is on the job to guard against unsafe practices in school bus operation and driving performance. Each bus is checked by a highway patrol man every 30 days to determine any faulty mechanical conditions. Buses are subject at all times to a check by a highway patrolman to ascertain cleanliness. A patrolman must, in the company of the principal, drive over each bus route at the beginning of the school year to check for safety hazards. During the school term the patrolman continues to check routes for hazards and will ride with each driver occasionally to observe his driving habits. It is believed that this is a valuable contribution to the safety of the school bus operation, especially when students are used in large numbers.

Seventh, accident records show student drivers to be as safe as adult drivers. A comparison of the accident experience of student and adult drivers over the past decade in North Carolina, according to Department of Motor Vehicles' statistics, gives a slight edge to students. Although the difference is not enough to be considered significant, it does add weight to the theory that students are no worse safety risks than adult drivers.

SUMMARY: Public school officials in North Carolina have found that the use of student drivers has made it possible for them to be more selective in employing drivers, require more intensive driver-training, maintain an adequate number of qualified drivers, exercise closer supervision over the pupil trans portation system and maintain a good safety record at a reasonable cost. The use of student drivers appears to be the most practical solution to the problem of providing drivers to man the giant fleet of school buses required to transport approximately 520,000 students daily to the public schools of North Carolina.

CONCURRING REPORT
INTRODUCTION:
This concurring report is being submitted in no sense in opposition to the Committee's report. On the contrary, its purpose is to express enthusiastic assent to most of what has been discussed therein.
It has been a source of pride to me to be a member of this Committee. Its members have been earnestly concerned with fulfilling the objectives estab lished by the Resolution creating it, Numbered 208. Each one has sought to act constructively and I believe the total effect of the Committee's work and efforts will bear great fruit for all Georgians.
Our Chairman has worked assiduously. Without his ability and unselfish devotion it would have been impossible to have accomplished the organized and I believe effective research in which the Committee has been engaged. I am personally grateful to him for such an example of leadership in a field which is highly complex and sometimes controversial.
The function of a legislative committee is to inquire into the operation of various areas of State government on behalf of the people of this State, and then if appropriate, to propose legislation that might be helpful. Its work should be

2733

well publicized and above all, it seems to me, it should not avoid being critical, if such criticism is constructive and fair. Obviously, there will be those who are subjected to criticism. If the result of such criticism is to accomplish a higher and more efficient degree of performance, then the public interest has been served. This is also true if criticism, in its proper sense, inspires proposals and action for change and revision of the status quo, where such change is needed.

I believe the Committee's work, and its report, has in large measure, ful filled its proper role. It is now important that members of the public, of the General Assembly, and the appropriate agencies of State government, insist that improvements be made, and made promptly.

In attempting to gain a thorough understanding of the subject matter, the members of this Committee have had a great deal of material made available to them. For example, attached hereto is a list of references which I have found informative, Exhibit "I". Considerably more data and other publications have been examined. The members of the Committee have discussed various aspects of this subject with several persons in State government, with present and former school superintendents and with school bus drivers. I have found it particularly helpful to discuss school bus transportation with several superintendents and school board members throughout the State.

A questionnaire has been submitted to the superintendents of schools in each county. At this writing, some 120 of these have been returned. It has been grati fying to receive such a large response. Most of the questionnaires were carefully filled out with comments that have been helpful. This survey is attached, with a compilation of responses of 113, the number obtained at the time this was compiled. Obviously, there was difficulty in summarizing the answers in some cases, but it is hoped that the summary expresses a fair consensus. The summary is attached as Exhibit "II".
Of inestimable value has been the study of methods of other States. The observation of other systems compared to Georgia's has demonstrated some of our marked shortcomings, and their obviously better techniques in the operation of a system of school bus transportation.
At the risk of sounding immodest, I believe it can be said that this Com mittee has done a thorough job in doing its homework before formulating its report.
Finally, by way of introduction to the comments which follow, I must ex press my deep feeling that all areas of state government, including the legisla tive, must be anxiously concerned that greater and greater efficiency be at tained. In this era when to properly perform on behalf of the taxpayers, tre mendous sums must be supplied by the federal government, it is impossible to conscientiously deplore federal intervention on the one hand, while on the other to have patience with wastefulness, or inefficiency, or outdated methods on the other, in the affairs of this State. Thus, it follows that even in the area of school bus transportation, as in the expenditure of highway and welfare funds for example, there will be an ever increasing demand for better performance. And the citizen, as well as the legislator, has the right to ask, nay, demand, efficiency in the expenditure of public funds. A sense of outrage must be aroused in us. Isn't there some measure of truth in the assertion that the very tolera tion of inefficiency and mediocrity produces a complicity among us with those who administer?

2734

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

When school bus transportation costs 16 million dollars per year to operate, we are discussing big business indeed. When this system is operated from edu cational funds the responsibility is even more dramatic. Observers of national educational problems and trends and of public school systems make it clear that education has become a national concern. Indeed, the first chapter of Dr. James B. Conant's book Shaping Educational Policy is entitled "Education Becomes a National Concern." A failure of this State to react to the present need to update every area of educational administration, would constitute gross negligence, or tragic indifference to the realities of our day. A parochial attitude or toleration for mediocrity in handling such big business cannot be excused.

USE OF STUDENT DRIVERS:
The Report has already recommended the use of student bus drivers. Their employment would save this State five or six million dollars a year. Their safety record would equal or excell that of adult drivers. The opportunities afforded these students would greatly encourage many of them to advance their educa tion. Their record of success has been amply demonstrated in other states.
Opposition to their use is of course expected, and for natural and obvious reasons:
(a) A fear that student drivers could not perform as well. This is not sup ported by fact. The reader is referred to Exhibit "B" of the Report for a thoughtful discussion of this from the director of a state system em ploying 95% student drivers.
(b) Suggested difficulties in implementing a program of student driver em ployment and training. Again, such difficulties can and have been over come by other states, and can be in Georgia. This is a spurious argu ment which suggests that our State Department of Education and local Boards have less ability to activate new programs than other state and local Boards.
(c) That qualified and rigidly selected high school students could not be found. To maintain this argument would suggest that our high schools do not produce responsible and mature students. This is refutable by a visit to any high school in the State, and by the experience of such neighboring states as South Carolina, which has found no difficulty in finding competent students.
(d) That the safety of our school children is too important to risk for the sake of saving money. It can be anticipated that a group; such as the School Bus Drivers Association will vehemently take this position. Yet it is a hollow cry without substance, because, as the records of other states amply demonstrate, (and to the surprise of many of us), student drivers are at least as safe or safer than the typical adult driver.
(e) That bus maintenance is better with adults. In Georgia many adult bus drivers do not leave their buses on the school grounds during the day. Often there is illegal use of them for hauling students and parents to football games, for example, and enforcement of routine maintenance checks is difficult. Experience has demonstrated that with the close

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2735

supervision of students available, and the natural incentive to do a superior job as a bus driver, more routine day to day maintenance inspection is possible with students. Again the reader is referred to Exhibit "B" of the report.

(f) That to employ students as bus drivers would deprive adults of jobs. In my judgment, this is the most wrong-headed objection of all. Yet it is the objection which appears to principally motivate the School Bus Drivers Association in its opposition. Our governmental agencies, whether the highway department or the education department, or the city or county governments or Boards of Education, are not, and should not be looked upon as employment agencies. One has the feeling that there has developed an attitude that the State owes a duty to keep persons employed. Certainly one's contract of employment should be honored. No unfair advantage should be taken to deprive one of a job. But, after all, it is for the public interest to be served that we create a government, not for private interests. I heartily concur with the Com mittee that student bus drivers should be employed and that this should be done without undue hardship to presently employed drivers. I think, however, that it is extremely important that the State Department of Education and the local Boards begin immediately to prepare for the training and employment of students. Particularly at a time when every county will be pressed to the wall to provide even a minimum education for its students under Senate Bill 180, it seems to be bad business and poor judgment, to fail to make use of the many advantages employment of students would afford.
I recognize that some financial incentive to the school systems is necessary to induce many of them to employ students. Unfortunately, after a good deal of reflection, I am unable to suggest an alternative to that suggested by my col leagues on this Committee. Yet, nonetheless, with the hope that another method can be found, I am greatly troubled by the method proposed. The suggestion is made that where a system hires a student, the state nevertheless pays that county its entitlement as though the driver were an adult. For example, the students salary would be $270 per annum (the present North Carolina wage) and the adult driver's salary would have been $1,440. Thus the county would gain a boot of $1,170. It is observed immediately that with the hiring of only a few students the local system would gain needed funds for the class room. I note my disagreement as to the method because it would necessitate payment to the systems of transportation funds which would not in fact be used for that purpose.
Yet, I am confident that with continued study of this subject, a proper incentive can be presented to the local systems.
The Chairman of this Committee has authorized me to say that he con curs with my views on the prompt employment of students and upon the incen tive to systems for employment of students as above expressed. We are convinced that the one most dramatic and positive step that could be taken at this time to improve our total school bus transportation system would be the extensive use of student bus drivers.

SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS ASSOCIATION:
As a member of the General Assembly one quickly learns that certain organizations maintain full time lobbyists, present during virtually every day

2736

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

of the annual sessions. This Association maintains such a lobby. Upon inquiry, I am told by its Executive Director that the Association's purpose is to work for the safety of our school children. During the past few years I have observed that the activity of this Association, so far as the legislature was concerned, was to obtain an increase in salary and other benefits. The State affords pen sion benefits to bus drivers, five days annual sick leave, and a minimum salary for a full 12 month period. This notwithstanding the fact that the drivers are employed by the local systems. In past years, it has been a powerful lobby indeed. In some counties members of this Association serve as poll managers on election day. In 121 counties in this State members of the Grand Jury name the local School Board members. School bus drivers, I am advised, often play a part in such designation in their capacity as Grand Jurors. It has been said our former Governor Eugene Talmadge used to brag that he didn't ever want to carry a county with a street car track in it, and that if he had the Sheriffs and the school bus drivers he could win any state-wide election.

Thus, the existence of so formidable an Association struck me as being a potential source of great help in attempting to improve the bus transportation system in this State. A letter was sent to Mr. Wilton Hill (Exhibit III) with a list of questions (Exhibit IV) seeking to elicit his help and that of his Associa tion. I am certain many members of the Association are disappointed, as I have been, that he had neither the courtesy or the interest to respond to this letter. The Survey referred to as Exhibit II, however, did answer some of the questions asked him. For example, the overwhelming response of county superintendents indicated that the Association rendered no assistance in

(a) Driver safety

(b) Maintenance programs or

(c) In anything else.

Interestingly, the Survey revealed that in a majority of counties school bus drivers do not constitute a real political force.

On the broad question as to the help the Association affords the trans portation system as a whole, most felt it was a hindrance. With response to questions 15, 16, and 17 of the questionnaire some most interesting answers were elicited.

Regarding the questions put to Mr. Hill, based on the Survey and on other information from knowledgeable persons throughout the State, it appears that the Association can claim no real achievement except a continued effort to raise salaries and other benefits.

It will be noted that not even school teachers have their salary set by state statute. The minimum set for school bus drivers is, it seems to me, ironically above the average annual income in this State, and the work is part time for nine or ten months each year.

Obviously, my comments are not intended to disparage any individual driver. I am quite certain some are not paid enough, just as I am certain that for the number of hours per day devoted to the job some are paid too much.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2737

But this observation illustrates my objection to the statutory approach taken heretofore to bus driver salaries. If the county is indeed the drivers' employer, it appears to me not unreasonable that the county could pay whatever it took and could afford, to get a qualified driver, without this substantial floor on the wage having been established.

It is my hope that this Association either begins to make constructive legis lative proposals toward the improvement of our school bus system and thereby illustrate its purported great concern for the safety of our children, or vacate the premises and work throughout Georgia training its members in driving proficiency.

STATE DEPARTMENT OP EDUCATION:
Any review of so large an operation as our school transportation system impresses one with the complexities involved in its administration. This is espe cially true in considering the making of changes and the enforcement of standards and regulations. But the Department has long been charged with this responsi bility. It also has had the ability in most instances, to require conformance. Its most effective method would have been and is the refusal to disburse funds to local systems if provisions of the law, or its standards and regulations, are violated. I believe much could have been done in previous years to demand com pliance. Political considerations, lack of staff and funds have undoubtedly played a part in this. Now it is to be hoped that, particularly in light of various sec tions of Senate Bill 180, strict adherence will be required. Furthermore, one would also hope that an aggressive and renewed interest be shown this subject by members of the Board and the Superintendents.

For a number of years, Mr. Joe DeFoor has been charged with the responsi bility of administering the school bus transportation system in the State. Inter views with numerous people, and the Survey referred to, make it very clear that, with a small staff, he has done a fine job. He needs help. If it is afforded him I am confident great savings can be made in the State, and marked improve ment will be shown. One of the most frequent comments made by the superin tendents in the Survey has been of the fine work of Mr. DeFoor in assisting in the re-drawing of bus routes. I am personally grateful to him for his patience in answering many questions and making information available as requested.

CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOL SYSTEMS:
It must be assumed that nothing is of more importance than the effort to improve the quality of class room instruction. The existence of the vast number of school systems in this State is a tragedy. In past months, from numerous sources, this has been documented. With respect to bus transportation it is strikingly apparent that until numerous systems combine their efforts, much money will be wasted. For example, 103 counties have fleets ranging from one to 29 buses. Based on informed study, it is rather clear that 103 systems there fore have fleets so small that they will never be able to operate a bus main tenance system that is efficient and economical. Here clearly, is an area of concern which demands leadership from the Department.
If there is any hope in progressive action toward a marked improvement in Georgia education, surely consolidation not only of schools, but school systems is an answer. Such consolidation would inevitably assist in upgrading our trans portation system.

2738

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

CONCLUSION:

We must make a choice in Georgia, in education as in other areas which demand change. We may be willing to consider changes in the established order of things, or we may seek to perpetuate the old, the shibolleth's of another era.

To change an established order, to make fundamental changes in policy, and to do the hard thinking required where major problems exist, is terribly difficult. This is especially true in governmental affairs, where in the nature of things, it is simpler to say no, to stand pat, than to make bold moves forward.

The writer has proudly claimed Georgia as the home of his forbears; he loves its history and its proud heritage. He feels something of the agony that is being experienced in some of the counties of this State, and appreciates the great changes that are being made, and adjustments required. To modernize our gov ernment, some practices of the past, some old and true political axioms of an other day, must be abandoned. In some areas of State life where public tax money has been required, little attention has been given as to its careful and prudent use. It has been as though, like Christmas gifts, the tags upon the funds have been lost and the name of the giver, the taxpayer, has been forgotten.

In a great line our beloved Georgia poet, Sidney Lanier, has written:

"My soul is sailing through the sea, "But the Past is heavy and hindereth me."

I hope that in this one area of our State's life, the work of this Committee has made less heavy the past, and more light the burden of change.

2742

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

8. What is your system's present method of purchasing new buses, gas, tires, or related items?
It was generally indicated that buses were purchased on a bid basis, while gas and tires were bought on a contract basis.

17. Do you think the School Bus Drivers Association helps to improve the Georgia system of providing school bus transportation?
19 stated the association was a help, giving as their reasons the pro motion of safety and giving the drivers a sense of security.
85 indicated the association was not a help because it was primarily interested in promoting driver benefits and increased salaries. They felt the association was definitely a hinderance to promoting better transportation.

18. Would you favor the gradual abolition of private ownership of buses?
100 indicated they would favor such a proposal. 7 were against such a proposal.

19. Do you feel that allocation of funds for bus transportation in Georgia and the expenditure of such funds in the purchase and maintenance of buses and salaries could be improved?
94 indicated it could be improved, stating that they felt it would be more economical and efficient for the state to handle the purchasing of buses and related items.

20. What is your opinion of the program, presently used by such states as Vir ginia, South Carolina and North Carolina, which utilizes carefully selected and supervised students as school bus drivers?
59 were in favor of such a proposal. 35 were against it.
Those that did not respond to this question stated they were not familiar enough with other state systems to make a judgment, but would like to see data on the use of student drivers in other states.

21. Do you get sufficient help from the State in routing your buses for their most economical and efficient use?

The average length of time spent was 1 hour 23 min. The longest period

2744

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

of time spent in transit was 4 hours and the shortest length of time was 1 hour. Broken down, time spent in transportation is as follows:

1 hour 1% hours 1% hours 1% hours

17 systems 10 systems 19 systems 4 systems

2 hours 2% hours 3 hours 3% hours 4 hours

12 systems 12 systems 19 systems
3 systems 2 systems

23. In comparison to other states, do you feel the safety consciousness and pre cautions of drivers within your system and their safety records would rate as follows?
33 rated Georgia's safety record as Superior. 49 rated it as Above Average. 21 rated it as Average. 3 rated it as below average.

24. What other comments which would be helpful in analyzing the Georgia school bus transportation system, would you like to make?
a. There should be an accounting of all accidents so all systems could profit by their mistakes.
b. Bus drivers should be removed from politics as they put pressure on state officials to increase salaries. There is too much interest in promoting their own welfare.
c. We need better trained drivers.
d. Information on purchasing methods should be furnished by the state along with specifications for items.
e. I suggest a separate form be prepared for directing reports of the county to the State department of Education with a summary of all accidents to be sent back to the county in a consolidated report.
f. The state should purchase items for consistent operation throughout the state. Bus routes should be more clearly defined.
g. I feel public ownership of buses would provide safer and more economical transportation.
h. We should use student drivers, and make more uniform an organized driver training program. Drivers at present are over paid for the hours on the job. They are paid for an 8 hour day and only work 3.
i. Transportation is a political problem for small counties. Improved safety and economy could be achieved by having qualified personnel at the local level to give technical advice. Also the state should publish a set of regu lations for the administration of a transportation program.
j. I believe in a statewide purchasing or fleet plan for buses, a state insur ance program and a compulsory training school for drivers.
k. The state should take over transportation throughout Georgia. We should also get the school bus drivers out of politics, use student drivers, have county owned garages and statewide bidding on buses and gas.
1. I feel a state transportation program would be more economical, safer,

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2745

and more comfortable in that we would have better service at less cost because buses would not be used for other than school purposes.
m. The present system of allocation of funds for transportation encourages extra spending. Let the General Assembly and Governor exercise caution in increasing driver's salaries. Also we need more uniform enforcement of regulations.
n. All buses should be subject to a motor analysis and brake inspection at least monthly. I have an idea we could improve on our transportation maintenance and save some money if we were able to purchase in larger quantities and get better discounts than we now get. A study might be made on purchasing supplies, equipment, and insurance.
o. I do not know how the "inspection program" which is to begin in January will work out, but I think that more frequent inspection of school buses would be better.

For example: (1) not more than 20 days before school starting; (2) every sixty days thereafter (45 days would be better). I believe that it would help the program if school buses were "spot checked" by the State Patrol several times each year rather than making one inspection near the beginning of the school term as has been done recently.
p. I am not familiar with the program that is used in these other states in training and selecting student drivers, but from 1939 through about 1950, we used several students because we were unable to get adults, and they were quite satisfactory. I see no reason why students should not make fairly good drivers if they are given sufficient training.
q. With a set up such as ours and with all buses publicly owned, it gives us an opportunity to buy, maintain and operate our transportation system on a basis that is more in keeping with educational services. A system of this type disallows the transportation system and its operation from becoming a political football to be used to please patrons, rather than providing services for children. I believe the greatest help to a system like this would be the privilege of participating on a state bid basis for purchasing buses in the same way that we do on tires and tubes.
r. A professional staff of research people specializing in public school trans portation should be selected to make a thorough study of transportation in Georgia. A scientific professional study should provide a wealth of valid information, which should guide future legislatures and state board of education in programming and financing transportation.

Mr. Wilton Hill Executive Director Georgia School Bus Drivers Association Reidsville, Georgia

Dear Wilton:

As you know, a joint committee of the House and Senate has been named to look into matters relating to school bus transportation in this State.

I am a member of this committee and in an effort to thoroughly acquaint myself with all of the facets regarding this subject, I am taking the liberty of writing you this letter and enclosing a questionnaire.

I am sure that you are concerned, as I am, that this State operate as efficient, as safe, and as economical a school bus transportation system as is humanly possible. The committee of which I am a member has the same interest.

Your relationship with the Georgia School Bus Drivers Association over the years has certainly given you an opportunity to have observed the cost of school bus transportation in Georgia, and its efficiency, as compared with other states and obviously I should like to profit by your observations with respect to this subject.

I therefore look forward very much to hearing from you as soon as possible. Our committee is presently working diligently in an effort to acquaint ourselves with the subject matter and undoubtedly will publish a report with some recom mendation within the next few weeks.

Sincerely, Jack Etheridge

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2747

1. How many dues paying members are there of the Georgia School Bus Drivers Association? What are the dues per year?
2. What driver-training program does the Association now engage in, or has it conducted in the past three years?
3. Has the Association encouraged or sponsored any legislation in the past few years that would require driver-training of school bus drivers?
4. What does the Association do about establish a policy or a procedure in reporting accidents?
5. Insofar as data is used by the Association in citing the traffic safety records of Georgia school bus drivers, how is it collected, and what constitutes an "accident"?
6. What is the "safety record" of Georgia school bus drivers?
7. Has the Association taken any position with respect to the mass purchase of buses and parts, gasoline and related automobile products, the uniformity of insurance coverage, the establishment of state-owned maintenance shops and other practices successfully employed by such states as Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina?
8. In view of the fact that 92% of the school bus drivers in North Carolina are carefully selected and trained students, that most of the school bus drivers in Virginia and South Carolina are students, resulting in a tre mendous saving to those States, and with a good safety record, what position has your Association taken regarding the employment of student drivers where they are selected and supervised by their principal?
9. What safety inspection procedures for school buses does the Association advocate generally? Does the Association have any prescribed inspection procedures for privately owned buses?
10. What position has the Association taken with reference to an annual driving examination and periodic courses in traffic safety?
11. What studies has the Association undertaken to determine ways of improv ing school bus services in Georgia?
12. What is the principal function of the Association?

MINORITY REPORT
DRIVING PERSONNEL:
The minority of this Committee is in disagreement with the majority on any and all proposals recommending the use of student drivers in public school transportation. The minority notes the savings of North Carolina, but it also notes that there was an accident increase when student drivers were used. The minority does not feel a child's life can be valued with dollars. The prevention of the death of one child is more important to the minority than saving any amount of money. Also, it is felt that the condition of schools and paved roads in North Carolina is more conducive to student drivers than Georgia. The minority feels that Georgia's situation more closely resembles that of Florida. The minority feels that the use of staggered hours and by fully utilizing the bus and driver a substantial saving can be effected. It is noted that school offi-

2748

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

cials of the State of Florida have achieved a great deal of success in cutting expenses on school bus transportation by staggered hours and bus utilization. The minority notes that Florida school officials do not recommend the wide spread use of student drivers. It is felt by the minority that student drivers should not be encouraged.
