years ago with used equipment; and

20 Mack mixers and tractors from Geor
gia Mack.
“The Maxidyne/Maxitorque concept
really gets the job done for Mac Collins,”
says Clark. “Mac says that the simplicity
of operation, easy maintenance, low re

enabled him to have a profitable opera
tion.”
the other members of the

laughs. Everybody enjoyed

Stanfield’s hospitality.

ness,” by John Peterson.
This musicale was presented

decided that it be presented
again. The hour long pro

State Road
Use Rises
In March
Traffic count figures for
March just released by the
Georgia Department of
Transportation show that
travelers were on the road in
greater numbers than last
year. The reading for an
average day of the month at
a typical counting station
was 12,665 vehicles, an
increase of 4.6 per cent from
March 1976. an increase of 7.4
per cent from March 1975 and
an increase of 15 per cent
from March 1974.
Based on traffic figures for
1977 so far, the estimated
average daily traffic at a
typical station is 12,293
vehicles, up 2.5 per cent from
1976 and up 7.2 per cent from
1975.
All categories of traffic
showed increases. It was
reported in December 1976
and the first two months of
1977 that 1-75 was showing
a downward trend, pos
sibly due to the new'ly opened
segments of 1-95 on the coast,
but even this is back up for
March. The growth of 1-95
was 24.5 per cent above
March 1976.
It was reported to the
Georgia DOT that the
attendance figures at Walt
Disney World in Florida have
shown fluctuations similar
to the changes in traffic flow
in 1-75 and 95 in Georgia.
Officials at the amusement
park maintain daily contact
with the DOT for this
information.
Traffic counts are made by
a network of 47 electronic
count stations at strategic
points in the state. These are
linked to a computer in
Atlanta for instant readings
on traffic information.
From March 1976 to March
1977, traffic was up on
non-interstate urban roads
by 1.9 per cent, on interstate
urban roads by 4.8 per cent,
on non-interstate rural roads
by 4 8 per cent and on
interstate rural roads by 8.6
per cent.
