King's Funeral
Cost Ga. 590,000
ATLANTA (GPS)—Gov. Lester
G. Maddox has revealed that he
spent some $90,000 in state
emergency funds for expenses
incurred during the funeral in
Atlanta for slain Martin Luther
King Jr. last April.
The governor said it cost at
least $85,000 to call the State
National Guard on alert near
Atlanta for the massive funeral
procession.
In addition, he said, it cost
the state money for guards and
state patrolmen to protect the
Capitol “when we were threat
ened by bombs and burning and
such.”
