Lawmakers
Take Weekend
Break
ATLANTA (UPD — The Geor
gia General Assembly was in
the midst of a weekend adjourn
ment today with most members
mindful that Monday ushers in
a busy workweek.
Gov. Lester Maddox’s billion
dollar budget will be dealt with,
there will be more debates on
the constitution and a package
of bills is due which would in
volve the state in an ambitious
effort to ease the acute housing
shortage, just to mention a few
items on the agenda.
The housing bills will be of
fered by a joint House - Senate
committee on Monday. The
committee, which studied the
problem last year, showed its
report Friday to Lt. Gov.
George T. Smith and House
Speaker George L. Smith.
The committee said most
Georgians are faced with “seri
ous housing problems,” with
shortages “for all but the upper
income groups.”
Among recommendations for
solutions to housing ills was the
creation of a Georgia Housing
Finance Authority to provide
state funds to alleviate the mon
ey squeeze. Rep. Elliott Levitas
of DeKalb County, committee
co-chairman, said the authority
would enable the state to pur
chase government-insured
mortgages, to provide seed
money to generate federal funds
and foundation funds for con
struction of low cost housing.
The committee also recom
mended funds for the State
Planning and Programming Bu
reau to compile information on
housing problems, that cities be
allowed to obtain lands for re
development projects for per
sons displaced by government
actions and that sponsors of low
income housing be exempt from
state and local property taxes
for a limited period.
The Senate passed a bill Fri
day which would assure the
right of the State Highway
Board to turn its authority
over to Highway Director Jim
Gillis. It was one of 13 bills
passed by the Senate —the first
legislation approved since the
session got under way last Mon
day.
