Bobby Dunn made this
statement in connection with his
candidacy for the Board of City
Commissioners:
“In announcing as a can
didate for the Board of City
Commissioners, I would like to
ask you for your vote and sup
port.
“Being a life-long resident of
our city, I have watched the
improvements made
throughout the years, and I
realize how necessary it is to
continue to grow and change
with the times. Decisions by the
Board of City Commissioners
must always be made for the
best interests of our citizens and
not from a personal viewpoint.
You cannot be against
everything and believe that
progress will be made.
“I know what you expect from
your commissioner, and I will
do everything to live up to that
expectation."

seeking
reelection
R. L. (Skeeter) Norsworthy
issued this statement in con
nection with his candidacy for
reelection to the board of city
commissioners:
I am once again seeking
reelection. As many of you
know, Griffin is the City in
which I was bom and raised.
My wife and I have raised 3
daughters in this city.
Our oldest “Terri” teaches
6th grade at Beaverbrook
School. Angie is a student at
Gordon Junior College, and Kim
is a student at Junior High Unit
111.
I have a sincere love and
interest in the “City of Griffin”.
I love the people and enjoy
serving them.
I feel we have made much
progress in City Government, in
away that has given more
people than ever before a
chance to have voice in all
decisions that are made. I have
always weighed each problem
and decision very thoroughly as
to how it would best benefit the
people.
My main objective is to have
open, honest and responsive
Government.
I have never shown any
favoritism to any special
groups, person, or places, no
matter how large or small they
may be.
My decision has always been
on whether it is legal, fair and
honest.
It will continue to be in this
same manner that I will serve
you.
We have made more progress
in street paving, sewerage
expansion, have helped create
more businesses and shopping
centers than ever before, of
which I am very proud to have
been a part
I would like to thank you for
all your support during my past
years in office and ask that you
once again give me the chance
to represent you in this city.
I will be grateful for your
support and vote on Nov. Bth.
Thank you.
Commission session
City board again ducks bond stand
The Board of City Com
missioners has refused to take a
stand on the Nov. 8 school bond
issue for the second time.
The vote of 3 to 2 was the
same this morning as it was a
week ago when Commissioners
Louis Goldstein, Ernest (Tiggy)
Jones and R. L. (Skeeter)
Norsworthy agreed that the
board should not attempt to
influence the public and the
matter should be left for the
people to decide.
Commissioner Dick Mullins
who raised the question both
times said it was not intended to
influence the public but “they
have a right to know how we as

elected officials stand.”
Mayor Raymond Head
agreed. Both Head and Mullins
have come out in favor of the
bond issue.
Norsworthy said he will make
his position known Thursday
night at an open forum of
candidates.
Jones also said he would take
a stand individually.
The event will be held in the
city hall courtroom and will
begin at 7:30 p.m. It is spon
sored by the League of Women
Voters.
In other action during this
morning's commission
meeting, the revote on federally
financed apartment complexes
was the same as several months
ago, 3 to 2.
Head and Mullins favored the
HUD projects, while Jones,
Norsworthy and Goldstein were
opposed.
“I’m not against government
subsidized housing for the aged
and handicapped, but I am
against it for people who won’t
work,” Goldstein said.
He asked Head how he would
like for the government to
come in and finance a new dry
cleaning establishment, in
competition with Head’s
business, then give people
cheaper rates.
He noted the board already
had approved rental assistance
to the aged and handicapped
and new housing for the aged.
“I’m against HUD apartment
complexes which would be paid
for by the federal government.
We have too much government
as it is,” he said.
City Manager Roy Inman said
he had two inquiries in the last
two weeks from builders in
Atlanta about the matter.
Ramps along the street curbs
at downtown intersections may
be constructed during the
coming months.
Inman said the Griffin
Page 3
Kiwanis Club is working on the
project.
The city also is looking into
the possibility of reserving
several parking spaces near the
high school stadium for the
handicapped during football
games next year.
The city has had requests for
the spaces.
Tonight’s meeting will begin
at 7:30 and will include con
sideration of several purchases.
The most expensive is a motor
grader which will cost more
than $42,000.
Next Tuesday morning’s
meeting has been canceled
since Inman will be attending
The International City
Managers Association con
vention in Atlanta.
