En lenguaje claro
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizes the life and public service of Jim S. Briscoe, a World War II Navy veteran and the first mayor of Between, Georgia, elected in 1970. It recounts his upbringing on a family farm, his military service as a machinist on a minesweeper, his later work at DuPont, and his tenure as mayor. The resolution's operative effect is to officially name the intersection of State Route 10/US-78 and New Hope Church Road in Walton County the Jim S. Briscoe Intersection. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to put up and maintain signs marking the dedication, and it instructs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to Briscoe's family and to the Department of Transportation.
