City Commission business
Tri-T Aviation gets
lease on airport here
A new 15-year lease with Tri-
T Aviation, Inc. for operation of
the Griffin Airport was signed
by both the city and county
yesterday. It begins Dec. 1.
In an effort to work out an
agreement with the Civil Air
Patrol, Louis Thacker and John
Stienmitz of Tri-T-Aviation
have proposed the CAP keep its
present office space rent free,
but relinquish control of the T
hanger portion of the building
unless the CAP acquires an
aircraft titled in FAA. In that
event, the T-hanger would be
provided free for the aircraft.
It also was proposed that all
tie-downs there be removed.
The CAP unit here returned
its CAP plane to the govern
ment because of several
restrictions on it. One was that
any equipment the private
civilian members paid for and
put on the plane became the
property of the government.
Another was that the CAP
plane could not be used outside
of Georgia.
For this and several other
reasons the local unit decided to
turn in its government plane
and members would use private
aircraft.
The city and county built the
building the CAP has been using
several years ago at a cost of
about $7,000. The CAP helped in
its construction by getting some
grading done and equipping the
building.
In the light of the new lease
agreement, the CAP in Griffin
is reassessing its operations in
order to decide on its future.
Commissioner Preston Bunn
said he had noticed leaves being
piled in the streets instead of
being left on the curb side as
required by city code.
The leaves are stopping up
sewer lines, he said.
Residents should rake their
leaves in a long row at the
street’s edge to be picked up by

the new leave machine. The

back from the street, Bunn said.
A city resident complained
about trees being cut down at
last night’s commission
meeting.
Mrs. Martha McDaniel of 521
Crescent road said many trees
had been cut down in the city
recently, apparently for no
reason.
She said she was especially
disturbed about the grove of
pines which were recently
cleared on the Graefe street
side of the hospital.
“If you don’t do something
about the slaughter of our trees,
pretty soon we won’t have any..
By the time it takes to replace
the trees already cut, we and
our children will be dead and in
the grave,” she said.
Mrs. McDaniel said she would
like to see a city ordinance
preventing the unnecessary
cutting of trees, both on city and
private property. She said she
was referring to the large trees
in areas such as shopping
centers which could be paved
around instead of removed.
Mayor Louis Goldstein
assured her that all the com
missioners were working hard
to keep the trees and that no
trees on city property can come
down without the board’s ap
proval.
An application of a liquor
license was approved for James
W. Head at Scottie’s Liquor
Store, 414 East Solomon street.
It meets all requirements
according to city code.
City Commissioners decided
against an ordinance that would
require and attendant to be
present at coin operated
laundries when they are open.
Pharmacist Benton Bowen
who operates a pharmacy in
Experiment requested the city
law. His and other businesses
were damaged in a shopping
center fire earlier this year.
The blaze was believed to
have started in the laundry.
W. A. Morgan who owns the
laundry came to the com
mission meeting yesterday
morning to object to the
proposal. He also objected to
the matter’s being discussed
earlier without his being given
notice.
