KTLXmK (AP.) - Sen. How

City Manager Roy Inman told
commissioners this morning he
had not had time to evaluate

He said he would report to the
commissioners during a future
session.
The commissioners approved
the purchase of chlorine han
dling equipment for the water

They also approved the pur
chase of a machine for the

she’s lucky
Sue Buchanan of 405 Glenn

Mrs. Buchanan who operates
a car wash here on West
Solomon street was in Atlanta to
pick up some parts for washer

She was one car behind one of

She said her car wasn’t

Baker, in Atlanta to address
the International Downtown

that if he believed Lance’s
ability to run the Office of
Management and Budget had
been impaired, he “probably

“I think he must have been
preoccupied ... but I don’t think
that’s permanent,” Baker said.

Adams wants to cut

WASHINGTON (AP) - Offi
cials of southern and border
states were told Monday that
states should have more flexi
bility to use federal highway
funds as they see fit.
Transportation Secretary
Brock Adams said he would
like to cut the red tape to allow
the flexibility. He and federal
highway administrator William
Cox met with representatives

North Carolina, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia and West Vir

The group was in town for a
day of meetings with adminis

Adams said he is working on
reorganizing the Tran
sportation Department and said
a major goal is to lessen
government regulation so that
states can more easily get the
funds they need for highway
building and repair. That in
