Half of parks
may be closed
ATLANTA (UPI) - Almost
half of Georgia’s state parks
have to be closed as an
economy measure and this
week the Department of Natu
ral Resources will meet to
choose which ones must be shut
down.
Joe Tanner, head of the DNR,
said Tuesday that closing
between 25 to 35 of the state’s
80 parks will save $454,000 and
eliminate 28 jobs. The cuts are

being made as in all state
departments because of slump
ing revenues. Since employes
are involved and the transfer of
the park property, the Natural
Resources Board meeting to
decide on the parks will be
closed.
Tanner said he had his staff
draw up a priority list of parks.
He said the parks are ranked
according to use.
At the bottom of the list are
the “substandard” or “mar
ginal” parks, he said. Most of
those are locally oriented parks
and Tanner hopes they will be
operated by area governments.
The state has about SIOO,OOO in
grants for use by local
administrations in taking over
the small areas.
Any park that is not picked
up by local government will be
declared surplus property.
Some are large tracts of land
that would need a great deal of
money to develop since there is
no “one outstanding central
attraction,” he said.
Tanner said that while 28 jobs
will be eliminated that does not
necessarily mean that many
persons will be dropped from
the payroll since there are
openings at other parks.
He said in the long run the
cuts will mean improvements
for the park system since the
state should operate large
recreation areas that offer a
variety of experiences.
The names of the parks that
will be closed will be an
nounced in a month, Tanner
said. The month will give the
state a chance to tell employes
about the closings and will also
allow the state time to
negotiate with local govern
ments to take over some of the
parks.

Kraft said he planned to offer
Brand a management job if he
did not want to wait his chance
to become a shuttle pilot. Kraft
said Stafford, an Air Force
brigadier general, had not
made up his mind whether to
stay with the National Aeronau

the Air Force or enter private
industry or politics.
