Statewide, estimates vary between $7 million and $lO million. “The public needs to know this is not a new tax,” county commission chair man Bill Barnett said re cently. ““It is like getting a grant from the state each year with no extra tax.” Incorporated cities have had this power for many years, chairman Barnett said.

Great-grandparents are Preston Green of Cumming Should the proposed amendment be passed by the voters, it would have to be made into a bill and passed by both houses of the General Assembly, as well as survive the governor’s veto, before it could become law. The amendment was passed in 1979 by the voters, passed by the General As sembly, but vetoed by Gov. George Busbee. Busbee’s veto message said, “The granting of tax ing authority to counties at the expense of state reve nues at this critical eco nomic juncture is not prudent and is unwise. “ Georgia was in danger of losing its federal revenue sharing money, chairman Barnett said. If times had been better, the governor might not have vetoed the bill, the chairman specu lated. Duane Riner, Busbee’s news secretary, said the governor wanted more lead time and better economic conditions before making the necessary budget adjust ments to compensate for the lost money. “I don’t see how the state can build a case against this (the proposed amend ment),” chairman Barnett said. “The state has been running a huge (budget) sur plus.” Returning the money to the counties would be more efficient, chairman Barnett contended. The counties could use the tax money di rectly, while the state would use up part of it in maintain ing its bureaucracy. Also, chairman Barnett said, the counties would get the insurance tax money by law and would not have to file an application for a grant or ask for it from At lanta. and Mr. and Mrs. Leon Ber man of Michigan.

Landscaping Misunderstood ATHENS Landscape. What does that word mean to you? “It makes 99 people out of 100 think of plant material period.” Bill Slack, exten sion service landscape ar chitect at the University of Georgia, said. “But a land scape is much more than just ‘pretty greeny-growy things.’” Slack said a homeowner’s landscape includes the house, any other man-made structures such as a garage or storage shed, and all nat ural features such as rock outcroppins, streams and plant material. Every feature influences the total appearance, he said; so consider each el ement and how it will affect the look you want. “Incorporating plants is the last step of a landscaping project,” he said. “It’s the icing on the cake, not a cure all for problems with the site.” According to Slack, grad ing and circulation are the two main concerns of a land scarper, and must be com pletely worked out before he chooses plants. “For exam ple, if there’s not enough room for guests’ cars to turn around, an attractive azalea hedge next to the driveway won’t belp the problem at all,” he said.

On a small lot where land is at a premium and space is tight, a hedge might take up too much room. “A fence also serves the same purpose,” Slack said. “It is permanent, disease re sistant, drough tolerant and you don’t have to wait for it to grow. If you want plant material, too, you can train vines to climb it.” Slack noted one common landscape problem that wellarranged plantings can help: the long, straight driveway or sidewalk.
