Page 2 — Griffin Daily News Wednesday, July 6,1977 County Commission meeting Holdouts on paving contest assessments A group of people from Wildwood circle and Johnny Cut road 'met Tuesday with the Spalding Commissioners to discuss paving assessments. The group led by Mrs. Wava Mell Harrell are holdouts on a paving petition by other residents of Wildwood circle and Johnny Cut road. The group contended they had not been asked to sign a third petition by the residents which provided the 67 per cent of landowner signatures and front footage required by the county to pave the road. The group also contested the county’s assessment which they said exceeded $1.50 a foot as promised. Commissionchairman P. W. Hamil explained the roads needed exceptional grading and would require additional base work. ASSESS Under Georgia law the county, according to Hamil, can assess paving costs according to prices in effect for materials. He explained the amount of assessment could even be less than $1.50 if the cost of materials, etc, was down. Mrs. Harrell asked the commissioners if the county had the money in the budget to pay for the paving. Chairman Hamil explained the county does not have the money allocated for any paving because it was abiding by Georgia legislation which provides that paving could be paid for by assessing one-third of the cost of the paving each to 2 arrested on charges of violating litter law Spalding Sheriff’s officials again warned residents against abusing county litter laws. Two persons were arrested yesterday after they put 2 bags of trash on the ground in front of a dumpster without first checking to see if there was any room inside. Sheriff Dwayne Gilbert reminded citizens only household garbage is allowed in the dumpsters and cases will be made against anyone caught violating the ordinances. Pamela Ellen Stevens, 18, of Bambi Motel was charged with forgery after she allegedly presented a forged check at a local bank.

The total budgeted salary schedule was $207,413 for the fiscal year ending June 30,1977. The total budget for fiscal year 1978 beginning July 1 was listed at $347,154. The city commissioners have said they will cut their contribution to $9,000 this year. If this stands firm, then the library budget might have to be changed. The city and county commissioners have been having discussions on financing library services. City Commissioner Louis Goldstein contended it was double taxation for the city to contribute to the library operation. He said the people in the city already support the library through the county taxes they pay. i the landowner on both sides of t the street and the State ■ Department of Transportation > would take care of the other one-third. i Mrs. Harrell wanted the i commissioners to look into making application to the ! federal government for an anti recession program which would I provide money for paving on the I basis of a high unemployment i level. The group felt, as initiators of the program for the county, they would not have to pay the paving assessment. ■ UNFAIR The commissioners reminded 1 the group that there are some 200 miles of unpaved roads in the county and it would be 1 unfair to the rest of the citizens to think of designating federal funds for their road and not think of the rest of the citizens. It was the general consensus of the commissioners that they 1 would keep an open mind toward the program when the group provided written proof of the program’s merits. Until that time the com missioners feel the county’s assessment procedure for paving under Georgia legislation was justified and ’ legal. They saw no need to I change. PARHAM ; The commissioners also r heard a request from Claude i Dukes of Parham road to close a > stretch of road in front of his I home. » Dukes said the county had A small amount of cash was stolen in a burglary at the rock quarry office on the Rqver- Williamson road.

Frank Harris of South Sixth street complained his daughter’s tennis racket was stolen from the pavillion near the City Park tennis courts. It was valued at $35, police said. replaced the stretch of road with a new road which eliminated the curves several years ago. He said he had reached an agreement with the com missioners under then Chair man Jack Moss to leave the road so he could have access to his farm land. Dukes now wants the road declared closed as a result of a dispute with his neighbors over the use of the road. The commissioners checked county ordinances and advised Dukes of the procedure to legally close the road. TRASH Willis Avery voiced concern to the commissioners about the way county residents are abusing the trash collection sites. He said county residents are refusing to simply open the dumpsters and put the trash in. The commissioners agreed the county had a big problem with the collection sites and alluded to a discussion to hire bouty hunters who could make cases against violators. The commissioners took Avery’s concern and the en suing discussion under ad visement. _ W| BUBBLE YUM 4H c DISCOUNT CENTER « JF" 134 south hill st.
