City is holding
on HANK request
Nathan Goodman who is
attempting to organize a new
youth program in Griffin will
have to wait another week
before he learns if his request to
use the Police Community
Center on Pimento avenue is
granted.
Goodman’s request was first
made on Dec. 14. The program,
HANK (Helping a
Neighborhood Kid) is designed
to help problem children from
six to 18-years of age with
emphasis on school drop-outs
and drug abusers.
Goodman assured the city i
commissioners it would not
compete with other local
programs and would cost the
city no money.
“We are just asking the city |
for space, not money,” he i
explained.
Yesterday the commissioners
heard Goodman outline
prospective plans for HANK
and Pop Ellis, director of the i
Police Community Center, ,
explain his existing program. 1
Ellis said he thinks the two
programs will conflict and it '

would be impossible to have
such similar projects operating
from the same location.
Goodman contends that
HANK could help “kids not
being reached in that area.”
He asked for office space for
counseling and space to
practice a dramatic production
to be put on Feb. 14, the
beginning of Black History
Week.
The event would be HANK’s
first fund raising project, he
said.
City Manager Roy Inman and
Commissioner Raymond Head
both said they favored the
program.
Mr. Inman suggested the
school board be approached for
possible use of its facilities
during off hours. He said he had
seen a similar program
succeed.
“I’m a sucker for helping
such self-help programs as an
alternative to coming to
government begging for a
handout,” he said.
The two groups must enter
with a spirit of cooperation, he
cautioned.
Head said he’d like to see the
two groups get together and
strengthen both programs.
Commissioner Dick Mullins
said he felt space could be made
available for a proven program.
“I’m not in favor of taking
away space from an existing
program to one that’s
unproven,” he said.
By a vote of four to one, with
Head dissenting, the
commissioners decided to wait
until next week before making
the final decision.
“We all support it, but the
whole issue is whether we have
facilities to house a program
which conflicts with the city’s
present program,” Mayor Louis
Goldstein commented.
Goodman asked the board not
to wait, as time was running
out.
“We are going to implement
this program if we have to use a
street comer,” he vowed.
The purchase of radios for the
city’s new compact cars was
postponed for another week.
Frank Stanley of Griffin
Communications asked the
commissioners to reconsider an
earlier decision to purchase
Motorola radios and switch to
the Johnson brand, which is
handled by his Griffin owned
company.
A final decision will be made
next week.
At the conclusion of the
meeting, the commissioners
walked next door to the old
Cronic Chevrolet building to see
how costs in remodeling could
be reduced.
Very minor work needs to be
done to prepare the site for the
city’s engineer and garage
activities.

Man-powered plane
TOKYO—Students and the alumni of Nihon University flew a man-powered plane at the
Japan Marintine Self-Defense Force base near Tokyo. The plane, made of balsa and tough
hand-made paper, weighs more than 80 pounds and has a wingspan of more than 69 feet. The
crew claimed they surpassed the world record of 3,500 feet whence they flew 6,900 feet at an
altitude of three to six feet. They stayed airborne more than six minutes. Photos show last

Budget writers explore
i gas tax alternatives
Associated Press Writer
ATLANTA (AP) — Legislature
budget writers explored the possibility
of altering the gasoline tax today as an
alternative to proposals by Gov. George
Busbee for financing resurfacing of city
and county roads.
The joint House-Senate Ap
propriations Committees reached no
conclusion, but several influential
members of the committee indicated
they believe the state must change this
method of financing road im
provements within the next few years.
The discussion developed around a
proposal by the governor to launch a S3O
million program of resurfacing city and
county roads next year. The program
would be financed through a bond issue.
The bonds had originally been in
tended for a program to help speed up
interstate highway construction in the
state, but state officials determined
later they would not be needed for that
purpose.
Because of financial difficulties, the
state has discontinued programs for
resurfacing city and county roads
during the last two years.
Transportation Commissioner Tom
Moreland, discussing his agency’s
budget requests before the panel, said
the state has about 38,000 miles of

Live burro
DETROIT (AP) — One live
burro is needed for a walk-on
part in the Michigan Opera
Theatre’s production of “Nau
ghty Marietta.” .
“We hope to find a tenor, but a
baritone, bass, soprano or
mezzo will do fine,” said David
DiChiera, general director of
the opera. “Stage experience
would be helpful but is not nec
essary.”
The opera group has been ad
vertising for a burro to appear
in costume during the opening
scene.

paved roads considered city and county
thoroughfares. He said about 4,000
miles must be resurfaced each year to
prevent them from deteriorating.
Rep. Joe Frank Harris, D-
Cartersville, said he doubted that using
bond money to resurface the roads
would be a sound business practice.
The bonds would require 20 years for
the state to pay off, but the resurfacing
would last only about 10 years, he said.
Most road construction in Georgia is
financed by revenues from the 7.5 cent
per gallon state tax on gasoline —a
source that has yielded increasingly
lower returns as energy efficient
engines use less fuel.
There were proposals last year for
converting the 7.5 cent per gallon tax to
a percentage tax that would yield
higher revenues for the state as the
price of gasoline increased.
The proposals never reached a vote in
the legislature because Busbee cam
paigned in 1974 on a platform of no new
taxes.
The bond issue proposed by the ad
ministration would be financed from
the general treasury, rather than from
gasoline tax receipts. Moreland said he
believed that is the most practical route
for now, but said a long range answer
must be found.
