Only one person la twenty gets "tlr tick" from fitting M airplanes \ REV. S. L. BLANTON DELIVERS COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS Franklin County Will Have Complete Survey by Experts Public Administration The following letter written to Col. C. I* McGhee, Chairman, Board of Franklin County Commissioners, of Franklin County is self explanatory: Dear Sir:?Your request that this de partment make a surrey of your county, and point out to you*- board anything that we think should be done that ycu are not doing in order to hare a more economical and busi ness-like management of the county's affairs, has been recelred. I will take great pleasure in assigning a man to do this, but it is impossible for me t<> do it right now, as we are extreme ly busy and hare similar requests from a large number of counties. I am, of course, familiar in a gen eral way with what your board has been doing since tbey went into office and I hare pointed out to the com missioners of other counties some of tbe things that You had been doing and suggested that they fellow your plan, particularly your plan of glrlng etch commissioner a certain part of the government to be responsible for and make a report on tt each meeting, end also requiring that each county officer make a report each month on the operation of his office and the iounty accountant to file a complete financial statement, and going over these matters In executive session before going into other business. By doing this, you found out exactly how your county stood and it Is the only way that commissioners can conduct the affairs of a county in a business like way. Also, the steps that you took in collecting back taxes, which I believe amounted to around $75,000, which yop had in the form of land sale eertlficatesT^wben you first went into office. Your county, like many others, had aot been making effort to collect these taxes, therefore, all a man had to do to pay Bra taxes was to let his land be sold. This, of course.' meant that those that were paying were being taxed the next year again to carry those that had not paid. In other words, expenses were going on and the money to meet the necessary bills of the county was hav ing ,to be raised and those that were not paying their taxes were not. car rying their part of the load, and all taxpayers were not being treated alike. I mention these things to let you know that this department appreciat ed the efforts that you and youh- board have been making to put your county on a business basis, and I will there fore be glad to make a survey as re quested Just as soon as it is possible to do so. Yours very truly, CHAS. M. JOHNSON. Executive Secretary.
