Pace Views FDR Georgia Loan Threat and Bond Policy
Americus reporter Lovelace Eve reports Representative Pace’ s summary of President Roosevelt’s warning that Georgia cannot borrow from the federal government until the state amends its constitution. Pace notes only state loan funds are blocked, not city or county requests, and explains Georgia must issue long term bonds to match grants for highways, prisons, and asylums. He cautions that REA WPA and other federal funds depend on state bonding capacity amid a tradition of avoiding state debt.
