Telephones
Reflect
Growth Here
According to Albert Harrell,
Griffin manager, Southern Bell,
the number of Georgia
telephones increased by 91 per
cent, to nearly two million over
the last 10-year period.
Ten years ago only 67.6 per
cent of the households in
Georgia had telephones. Today
that figure has increased to 82.5
per cent.
The number of long distance
calls on the average business
day has increased during the
decade from 42,391,573 to
114,900,000.
Here in the Griffin exchange
that serves Griffin, Spalding,
and parts of adjourning
counties, the number of tele
phones increased to 18,223 by
the end of the sixties. This
represents an increase of 56 per
cent over the 11,670 in 1960.
Harrell said that the number
of telephones in Griffin ex
change area increased by 1247
in 1969 alone.
With this growth has come in
creases in company in
vestments, according to Jasper
Dorsey, Southern Bell vice
president. “Southern Bell in
Georgia is currently undergoing
a three-year, $470 million con
struction program to keep pace
with the growth of the state.”
He said that last year alone the
company spent $l3B million for
construction in Georgia. This is
nearly four times as much as it
spent ten years ago.
“More than a million miles of
cable and wire was installed
last year alone,” Dorsey said.
“We are proud to have had a
part in the unbelievable growth
of Griffin and the entire state of
Georgia during the past
decade,” Harrell said. “We will
continue to work hard to pro
vide the service our Georgia
customers want and need
during the next ten years.”

Jaycees Back
‘Five*Man’
Referendum
The Griffin-Spalding County
Jaycees have endorsed pro
posed legislation calling for a
referendum on changing
Griffin’s type of government
from a three-man commission
to a five-man commission.
The Jaycees endorsement
came in the form of a resolution
handed over to Spalding County
Rep. Quimby Melton, Jr.
A spokesman pointed out that
the Jaycees were not taking a
stand for or against a five-man
commission but were only
backing legislation calling for a
referendum on the proposed
change.
Following is the resolution
passed by the Jaycees:
“Whereas: We believe that
Government should be of laws
rather than of men; and,
Whereas: The population of
the City of Griffin has increased
threefold since the three com
missioner governing authority
was created; and,
Whereas: One Thousand Five
Hundred Fifty Four people, or
36 per cent of the citizens who
voted in the last city election,
have signed a petition asking
for a referendum;
Therefore: We endorse the
introduction of legislation in the
General Assembly of the State
of Georgia authorizing the
holding of a local referendum to
determine whether or not the
governing authority of the City
of Griffin shall be changed from
a three member commission
selected from the entire city to a
five member commission of
whom one will be selected city
wide and four will be selected,
one from each of four wards.”
