Dogwood Garden Club hears rules
Members of the Dogwood
Garden Club received detailed
information on the rules and
regulations of the flower show
to be held at the Spalding
County Fair from Mrs. Tom
Grayson. Mrs. Grayson spoke to
the club at its September
meeting in the home of Mrs. Lee
Roy Claxton on Pine Valley
road.
Mrs. Grayson, a former
flower show chairman for the
Federated Garden Clubs of
Griffin and Spalding County,
explained that the rules by the
Federated Garden Clubs follow
the standards set by the
National Council of State
Garden Clubs. She also showed
and discussed the 1976 Book of
Evidence.
The 1976 show had com
peted for the best standard
show in the state. The selection
is based on the reports of ac
credited state judges who come
to examine the show in person
and the record submitted by the
flower show chairman in the
Book of Evidence. The 1976
show won second place in the
state.
President Mrs. George Brown
presided over the meeting and"
welcomed Mrs. Bob Caswell as
a new member. Mrs. Walter
Jones distributed new year
books.

After months of con
sideration, the Georgia
Department of Transportation
(DOT) has selected line B—the
westernmost route—for the
construction of Interstate 675
northeast of Griffin.
Commissioner Tom Moreland
approved the staff recom
mendation bringing the 9.7 mile
highway a step closer to
reality. Interstate 675 will
connect 1-75 near Stockbridge
with 1-285 just east of the Macon
Highway, U.S. 23. It will include
a practial interchange at Ga.
Hwy. 138 and full interchanges
at Homestead road, Ellenwood
drive and Anvil Block road. The
proposed interchange at Cedar
Grove road has been eliminated
from the plan. The highway will
have four lanes from 1-75 north
ward to Ellenwood drive and 6
lanes from that point 1-285.
Following Moreland’s action
a final environmental
statement will be written and
delivered to the Federal High-

way Administration. If they
concur with the Georgia DOT’S
decision, the surveying and
design work will begin, with
design hearings being held later
in the design process. By the
present schedule, right-of-way
acquisition will begin after mid
-1978, and construction contracts
will be let after mid-1979.
Three alternative routes were
considered. Line A lies just to
the east of line B and would cost
$42.12 million, as opposed to
$44.07 million for the selected
line B. Line C lies some
distance to the east and would
have been longer (11.7 miles
total) and costlier ($55.54
million).
But many factors were
considered besides cost. Line C
has been endorsed by some
because it bypassed the
Soapstone Ridge geologic area,
but it was not selected because
of disruption that would occur in
the nieghborhoods and the park
near the interchange with 1-285.
Studies did, however, reveal a
transportation need in the line C
corridor, and additional work
will be done with DeKalb
County in working out solutions
to these problems.
Line B follows an area
already partly industrialized; it
will displace considerably
fewer residents and is less
disruptive to the social and
environmental character of the
area. By the year 2000,1-675 is
expected to reduce the traffic
volume on Moreland avenue by
48 percent, on 1-75 (between
Stockbridge and 1-285) by 48
percent and on 1-285 (between I
-75 and 1-675) by 27 percent.
Line B was also preferable
because it would not create any
new barriers across forest
areas and would not impede the
movement of animals through
their habitat. Other factors
studies include the road’s effect
on the water and geology of the
area, on historic properties, on
neighborhoods, on air quality
and on noise levels.
