In the article, "Daniel Is Sen
tenced", published in the July 6
edition of the Forsyth County
News, It was stated George Da
niel was sentenced to a ten
year total to be followed by a
Ifive year probationary period.
The story should have read
that Daniel was sentenced to
two five year terms on drug
charges to be served concurr
ently on two Indictments to be
followed by a five year probati

This means Daniel will serve a
maximum of five years If not

ATLANTA ALDERMANIC AVIATION
CHAIRMAN FAVORS DAWSON COUNTY
When will the first 747 taxi

way, Vice President of Delta
Airlines and Atlanta Airlines
Top Committee Spokeman’s,
Paul Pate answered, “it will
be a long time.’’
“The City of Atlanta is re
ady to build Atlanta’s No. H
Airport in Dawson County,”
says Atlanta’s Board of Alder
man’s Chairman, Hugh Pierce,
but with the recent decline in
air travel and other losses to
the air carrier industry this
has created some question for
a financial commitment by the
airlines.
“Until the City of Atlanta
is able to get a firm committ
ment from the Airlines that they
will use the Airport No. n,”
the city plans to keep the pro
perty just for that use.
The airlines committee re
commended for the City of At-
asked for a new plat to appear
at their next meeting providing
a recreation area and a code
of fifty foot of right-of-way.
All new divisions shouldpro
vide for a 60 ft. right-of-way
so the State Highway De
partment would aid in the sur
face of the streets, Housley
said.
A preliminary plan prepared
by T. M. Patton and Associa
tes, Inc. for Jerry Samples
was approved.
This division is to be cons
tructed on the Shanon Road pro
viding the plan will increase
the right-of-way of the roads.
The county owns a highway
tar wagon which is not used. Bhe
Board agreed to sell this to the
State Highway Department of
Gainesville.
The Board plans to consider
action on the requirement of an
annual sls permit for all
trailers parked within the
county.
This permit would be issued
by the Tax Office. The permit
would keep a record of the total
number of trailers parked or
wanting to locate within the
county.
Lloyd Smith recommended
the Board to study the trailer
permit issue, and consider the
adoption of the trailer permit at
a future meeting.
Defendant
Is Sick
At last report, Mrs. Hollis
Morgan was hospitalized at
Grady Hospital in Atlanta after
authorities reported she sim

The woman is a defendant in
the Morgan killings which occ

Approximately, 50 offices for
Executive offices are planned
for the center, and the total

bank reserve and make no ob
ligations related to time of
development of the property.
Pierce said, "the airlines
will finance the Airport when
they think it best.*’ Certain
curves and projections are not
as great and pressing as the
airlines thought for a second
airport, but as the population
directs more to the north then
there will be reason to spend
one billion dollars for a second
airport, Delta Vice-President
Pate inicated.
“The site at Henry County is
out, completely out,” said Pi
erce.
The City of Atlanta purchased
the property for SSOO per acre
in Dawson County. Pierce said,
“the City of Atlanta saved three
to four years of time when they
purchased the site.” He also
said, “he didn’t spend $5.1 mi

Local GOP Is Active
As Republican gubernatorial
candidate, Hal Suit, paraded th
rough Forsyth County with his
political caravan two years ago,
interested Republican Women
immediately pulled their for
ces together and organized the
first Forsyth County Federa
tion of Republican Women.
One of their major stands
was to provide Forsyth County
with an informed strong two
party system.
With this goal, the Republican
Women's Party have prepared
completion is scheduled for
1975, Butler stated.
As Forsyth County Is one of
the most dynamic growing com
munities In the Southeastern
United States, Butler said, ‘ 'The
llion dollars for a fairyland.”
By 1980, the 10,000 acre tract
will make Atlanta the largest
International Airport in the na
tion. Today, they operate on
3,700 acres.
Last year, a total of 18 mill
ion arrived or departed at the
Airport. Nine million boarded
the crafts. The Hartsfield In
ternational is the third busiest
in the nation. It has a staff of
20,000 employees. The airport
brings the City of Atlanta a
total of S2O million dollars a
year in revenue.
The City of Atlanta rents the
current property to the Airlines
for $2,061,000. The airlines pay
$1,295,000 in landing fees.
The Hartsfield Airport is 4th
in the nation in transporting
passengers. O’Hara Airport in
Chicago is the nation’s busiest,
and it operates on 6,000 acres.
The Airlines Committee in
brochures, sponsored pro
minent guest speakers from Ge
orgia and the Nation, honored
Republican candidates with re

The Federal Aviation Asso

son acceptable for air space tr

Chairman of the Aviation Co
mmittee, Hugh Pierce said,
“naturally, the City of Atlanta
and the Airlines are concerned
with the feelings of Dawson
County.”
He went on to say, for some
time the people of Daw so i Co

President said, “we certainly
want it and it will do wonders
for the Ninth District.”
"Dawson County has been
held back because they haven’t
developed the large tracts of
property,” Pierce said, and
there are still large holders of
property within the county.
The country atmosphere will
change to dynamic growth—
and “it won’t be a bad growth”
says the Alderman’s Chairman.
Currently, the Atlanta Re
gional Counsel is conducting a
study on the site because to ex
pand the current airport at the
Dawson site will effect all five
counties in the greater Atlanta
area.
“A detailed engineering study
will be among the first steps
taken,” said Pierce. This will
take several years to indicate
the feasibility of grading from
a technical and economical st
andpoint.
Chairman Pate and the Air
lines Committee recommended
to Mayor Massell and the Board
of Alderman, that due to the
distance of the Dawson County
site from Atlanta’s Central Bu
siness District it obviously sh
ould be tied in to the city’s
proposed rapid transit system.
This was done in the spring.
Pierce said, "they could bu
ild an airport in the center of
the 10,000 acres and zone the
remaining property into indus
tries, a park area, and a re
sidential area."
“With that size of property
you can plan,” stated Pierce.
Plans are being discussed
now to provide a “reliever"
airport for General Aivation.
The Airlines Committee sug
gested that those airplanes wh
ich do not require the long
nmways of the Hartsfield At
lanta Airport, or which do not
have a requirement to land at
the Large Hub airport should
be accommodated at and en
couraged to operate in a less
congested area.
The City of Atlanta is in the
process of creating advanced
security for the Dawson proper
ty, and Pierce said, "people
would continue to be in and out
of the property as studies from
every angle are being conduc
ted."
Dawson County has a great
deal to change, time to adjust
to the change, and the City of
Atlanta welcomes her as a sat
ellite to the Hub of the Atlanta
Hartsfield International Air
port.
