This is in accordance with figures released by the State As- sociation of County Commission- |der the amendment the Board of} hitten chin; if the ers in Tallahassee today. The tabulation of figures also shows that benefits from amendment for the entire state will amount to $573,122,517, of which $171,995,054 will go to wipe! out the counties’ bond indebted-| bridge con- | terest rates regardless of the credit ness for road and struction during the prior to July 1931. The State Association of County Commissione estimates are) based on figures compiled by the! Auditing Department and the! Division of Research and Records| of the State Road Department. Under the amendment, bonded indebtedness of the counties in-! curred prior to July, 1931, is taken over by the a dy existing Board ; of Administration, for liquidation from two cents of the present gaso- line tax. After these obligations are paid off the individual} counties, they continue to receive} the same ber boom and] 1 by s in cash for state} and county highways within the | counties.

Because of the strictions, he says, man; counties are likely to be forced to “yéfund | their present road and bridge} |bonds, and, unless the amend-| {ment passes, their situations will) ; become increasingly serious. Un- jAdministration will have authority | | to refund any of the old bonds and the authority to issue, sell or ex- | change gasoline tax anticipation! certificates for a particular coun- ty for the sole purpose of retir- ing bonds, thus escaping high in- | situation in any county. Findings of the Commissioners’ Association as to the practical ef- fect of the proposed amendment have been supported by an in- terpretation by Attorney General J. Tom Watson. The amendment |has also been endorsed by the State Association of County Attorneys, the in- dividual County Commissions of 64 of the 67 counties,of the state, most of the daily newspapers,|. scores of weekly newspapers and individual citizens prominent for| their public spiritedness and in-! terest in the state’s future wel- fare. “Regardless of the almost unani- mous approval of the amendment in all parts of the state, we cannot tax revenue rem: the same un- der the amend: t as it has been} since the original Act was passed] in the famous 100-day session of; the legislature in 1931. | Governor Spessard L.
