City-county
authority
in works
The Griffin Industrial
Authority is expected to come
up with final recommendations
within the next two to four
weeks on the creation of a joint
city-county industrial authority
which would be used to attract
new industry to Griffin and
Spalding County.
Jim Goolsby, chairman, met
with the city commissioners
this morning and reported that
the authority met Monday night
and needs more time for final
recommendations.
He said the recommendations
will include the number of
members on the authority and
its rights and limitations.
“We don’t want to set up
another board to be in conflict
with the Griffin-Spalding
Industrial Building Authority
which was established years
ago,” he said.
It has not been active in at
tracting industry, but has been
used as a financing vehicle, it
was noted.
The commission approved on
first reading an amendment to
an ordinance concerning
parking on the North
Expressway. It would provide
that parking be prohibited on
both sides of the expressway in
the area of the Bonanza
Restaurant.
The present ordinance
prohibits parking in front of the
Ranch House and Randall and
Blakely.
The commission has received
complaints of large trucks
parking along the road right of
way.

Jekyll motel
won’t become
condominiums
ATLANTA (AP) — The owner
of the Sand Dollar Motel on
Jekyll Island will not be allowed
to convert it into a con
dominium so he can sell units to
the public, a spokesman for the
Jekyll Island Authority said
Monday.
Larris Morris had asked to
make the move because the fa
cility “could not make it as a
motel," a spokesman for the
developer said when the pro
posal was made.
The authority has taken over
two other motels, the Corsair
and the Carriage Inn, and is at
tempting to find new manage
ment for them.
Zoning board
sets hearing
The city Planning and Zoning
board will meet Wednesday to
consider a zoning change. The
meeting will be at 10:30 a.m. in
the office of the city engineer,
231 East Solomon street.
The board will consider a
zoning request by Mrs. Faye
Banks. She has asked that a lot
she owns, 212 Melrose avenue,
be changed from R-l to C-l.
The change would mean the
neighborhood would be zoned
commercial. It is now zoned for
1-family residences.

Port Authority fears
permanent strike effects
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - The

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - The
Augusta Port Authority says it
will return about 80 per cent of
its $9,600 operating budget to
the city treasury because ex
penses have been lower than
expected.
“I hope we can set an ex
ample for some other city au
thorities and committees,” Au
thority Chairman David Swann
said last week.
Although part of the saving
was the result of careful spend
ing, Vice Chairman Wilson Fan
said another part was made up
of expenses that probably were
deferred but not eliminated.
“I think that this coming year
we will need an even greater
budget than this year,” he said.

ships scheduled to dock at Sa
vannah this week probably will

to sail to foreign ports as the
International Longshoreman’s
Association strike enters its
third day today.
Twenty conventional ships
were expected.
The strike by the men who
work ports from Maine to Texas
is limited to container, LASH
(Lighter Aboard Ship) and roll
on, roll-off cargo vessels.
The ILA claims those ships,
which are able to load and un
load greater amounts of cargo
in less time than conventional
freighters, are costing the union
jobs.
Ports Authority spokesman
Jim Bisson said the Savannah
port pumps about $3 billion a
year into Georgia’s economy.
He says it would be difficult to
estimate the immediate eco
nomic effect of the strike on
Savannah or the state, but he
added that one smaller com
pany in Charleston, S.C., “says
it’s losing $5,000 a day.”
Bisson says the losses could
force shippers, especially those
handling the finished products
usually carried by container, to
bypass East Coast ports in fa
vor of the West Coast, relying on
rail transportation to move the
goods East.
"It could certainly hurt the
ports in the East if the ships
establish a new pattern and go
to the West Coast, particularly
if it’s (the strike) a prolonged
thing,” Bisson said.
He added, however, that any
such a change in shipping pat
terns probably would be contin
gent on future negotiations with
the independent union to which
West Coast longshoremen be
long.
