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.

New Presbyterian Church Port Authority fears permanent strike effects SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - The longshoreman’s strike against Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports may have a short-term economic effect, but the real danger could be a permanent reduction in cargo traffic in the East, a spokesman for the Georgia Ports Authority says. At least eight container-type Port Authority refunds budget money to city 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.

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.
