-On August 19th 1908 seven men
jut five counties in 'the Piedmont

W for the purpose of organizing the
cBBissioners Association of North

prove \ecal government. From 1908
I to 1922 or 23 the organization was
more or less a social body although
I the members no doubt rec'd a lot

request. County government is your
job and I have troubles of my own.'
"After this Commission for the
study of County Government was
appointed they did a splendid Job
md met with our Association at
5ur next meeting which was held at
Morehead City August, 1926. At
which meeting we took up the report
of the Commission section by
section working with the members
3f the commission for three days
and nights, changing amending etc.
When completed it was presented; to
the legislature and enacted into
law.
"While we! are perfectly aware of
the fact that this work was not
perfect but as imperfect as it was
and is it was the only reform attempted
in local Government since
the carpet bagger constitution of
1869 was rammed down oud throats
with Canby's bayonets, and perfect
or not, it was our own work, we
started it and helped finish it too.
"Far be it from me to claim
something not our due, but I will
claim that we have done more to
save the financial life of this state
than any similar organization. The
men who have had a big part in
making better local government
come to pass are Dr. E. C. Branson
and Dr. Mcintosh of Chapel Hill,
Dr. Brcoks of State College. These
together with some of our own outstanding
members like Spruill, Newsom,
Cline, Hewlett, Deaton, Woodland,
Donnell, Foy, Boren, Lyda and
a hcst of others who were in office
during the time when we were
in the midst of this work. I would
not forget to pay tribute to Mr.
Masslich, the lady members of our
first Commission and some of cur
Certified Dublic accountants for the
splendid work which they did with
us.
"We have been ignored and slight,
ed abused and vilified, Demagogues
have claimed that we were responsible
for high taxes, debts, and
every singles thing that has gone
wrong with the body politic. If any
man says these things he simply
shows his ignorance; if we the
county commissioners were let alone
and not hampered by foolish laws
we could do ia better job than we
have dene. If I had time I could
tell you why we owe a lot of money
and how we are going to rim into
debt, unless 'there is some change
made to allow us to balance the
budget. I feel that I am a mighty
pcor thing to criticize anyone but
it is my honest and carefully considered
opinion that the average
member of the legislature knows less
about local government than anything
on earth and if the commissioners
knew as little about their
jcb, they would every one be in jail
aefore the next year was gone.
"The work which we begun was
found 'to be so good that the past
legislature strengthened and improved
it by making the cities come

the past six years have seen the',
greatest improvement in Iccal af- I
fairs 'that has been seen in a cen- |
tury,
"I read a splendid article by our
Governor in the Saturday Evening
Post in which he said that this
work started in 1927. I am too in- i
significant to inform him the work
was complete by that time and all
the Legislature had to do was to
pass it without a single change. If
we had not had the sense to start
it it would never have been done.
Well they had had 60 years in
which to do something, hadn't they?
Was there any reason to think (hat
they would have done any better in
the next sixty?
"I believe in giving the devil his <
dues, but for anyone to say that
Governor McLean or Governor
Gardner or anyone else begun the
reforms in local government that
we have witnessed in the last few
years is a joke. The County Commissioners
with the jaid and assistance
of 'the great men which I
have mentioned to you are the boys.
"When we tried our best to get
the state 'to assume the clear duty
of the constitutional school terfn
the legislature thought we were
fools. When Old Bro Deaton of ?
Iredell County passed a resolution c
at one of our meetings way back 1
yonder that the legislature levy a i
one cent tax fcr county roads they 1
knew we were crazy. We have lived i
to see most of our efforts bear fruit.
While 'there are a lot of folk who '1
do not even know of our existence 1
'we are still going to carry on for '
I the good of our state. I feel very J
much like the small boy who puts '
his thumb to his nose and says <
'Yannh, I 'told you so*. 1
'When governmental officers are 1
compelled to inform themselves 1
about their officers all the abuses 1
which we have had in the past '
will be no more. The greatest 1
trouble we endured in 'the past was (
from ignorance and not intentional 1
wrong dloing." ~ j

lually to operate and maintain the J eqi
school buses owned by this county.
Dt is my intention to introduce leg- Ec<
slaiion requiring the state to take an<

lumber of school bus accidents ma
throughout the state during this pul
school year that might have been fici
ivoidcd were the standards of bal
jperation, maintainence and in- ly
jpection higher. This is an unavoid- "
ible reflection on the present sys- Cos
;em brought about by the desire of get
sounty boards to operate at a ?
ninimum cost. It is appreciated f
shat the State Equilization Board I
issumes the cost of the operation
pf buses for six months, but their
participation is confined to the cost
tern only under the present law.
"Furthermore, the operation of
auses should be under the supervision
of ones fully qualified for the ^
purpose thereby relieving the Coun- ?
;y Superintendents of this duty per
nitting them to give more 'time to I
