Cheaper school books plan backed by committee
A special committee appointed by Governor Atkinson recommends a plan to reduce book costs by empowering county boards of education to purchase books directly from manufacturers and sell at cost. The "Ohio plan" would not require state publishing or tie to any single line of books, though the governor says the state should escape the book trust. Other items: a fatal accident in Yorkville, a Habersham county vote favoring Clarkaville, and several federal land and public health notes.
