Train wreck
KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) - Two
Louisville and Nashville Railroad
trains carrying three cars of am
monium nitrate apparently sideswiped
today, derailing some cars and injuring
at least three persons, authorities said.
A railroad spokesman said one car
containing highly explosive ammonium
nitrate was leaking and the heat of a
fire at the scene near I.S. 41 and
McCollum Parkway was making it
difficult for Cobb County fire depart
ment units to reach the blaze.
Authorities reported they were
beginning to evacuate people from the
area.

County renews plea
for help on roof job
The county commissioners
are not giving up in their efforts
to get the city to help finance
two projects.
County Chairman P. W.
Hamil again asked the city to
pay half the costs of a $20,000
roof repair job on the Spalding
County Health Department
building.
The city and county own the
building jointly but since it’s the
county’s legal responsibility to
furnish quarters for the health
department, the city has balked
about paying any of the
maintenance costs.
Tuesday, Hamil again asked
the city to consider deeding its
half to the county for as long as
the building is used by the
health department. When the
health department ceases to use

the building the half interest
would be deeded back to the
city, Hamil said.
He also suggested the city
lease the county the building for
one dollar a year.
The city commissioners
promised to discuss the matter
again. Earlier they indicated
they would deed the property to
the county in exchange for other
property.
The county also is still trying
to get the city to pay half the
costs of widening Searcy
avenue. County commissioners
feel that since the Griffin-
Spalding Industrial Park is
jointly owned by the city and
county and since Searcy Avenue
is a main artery to the park, its
improvement should be shared
equally by the two govern
ments.
The city has said that since
most of Searcy avenue is in the
county, the city should not pay
for that portion outside its
limits.
The State Department of
Transportation will provide the
materials for widening the
street, but the city and county
will have to move communica
tion lines along the railroad
tracks at an estimated cost of
$37,300. Who pays what portion
of that figure is what the two
boards cannot agree on.
The city commissioners said
they would wait to discuss the
matter further until after the
general election Nov. 8 when the
new county commissioner is
elected.
Chairman Hamil reported
that the county attorney is
studying the possibility of
removing the Griffin-Spalding
Industrial Park from the city
and county and putting it under
the Industrial Building
Authority which was set up
years ago.
