On Water Authority
Mr. Ed Huie, Manager of Clay
ton County Water Authority
clarafied several misconceptions
associated with the Clayton
County Water Authority in an
address to the Forest Park Rot
ary Club, Wednesday, August 21.
Mr. Huie, a native Claytonian,
a Georgia Tech alumnus, Com
mander of a destroyer in World
War 11, has been manager of the
Clayton County Water Authority
for the past three and one half
years. He presented to the Ro
tarians the organizational struc
ture of the Clayton County
Water Authority, defining the
Authority as a subsidiary of the
county government which was
created in 1955 to do a specific
job—to provide the county with
facilities for water service and
sanitary sewage.
Mr. Huie corrected what may
be a widespread belief that the
Clayton County Water Authority
is federally financed. It was
stated that the federal govern
ment does not have a dime in
Clayton County’s water system,
other than the fact that in 1957
$250,000 and in 1959 $50,000 were
appropriated as public health
grants and these amounts were
applied to the cost of the in
stallation of a disposal plant.
Clayton County water is fi
nanced by purely local funds,
and the help of developers and
industry.

petitioner was walking, and its

“Petitioner shows that two
other ladies were standing near
the back of said building, which
offered some protection from
the rain.
“That petitioner, in order to
get out of the rain, proceeded
to join the two ladies already
standing by the building, but
that as she walked up behind the
building, the building suddenly
blew over on her, painfully pin
ning her to the ground and caus
ing her body to be crushed there
under.
“Petitioner shows that al
though she was painfully in
jured by the weight of the build
ing upon her body, she remained
conscious and began screaming
for help.
“That two other ladies who
were members of petitioner’s
party, Mrs. Verner Prince and
Mrs. Julia Owens, were in the
building where they had gone to
seek shelter from the rain, and
when the building blew over,
they heard petitioner’s screams,
climbed out of the building, and
with the aid of some other by
standers, were able to pull pe
titioner out from under the
building.
“Thereafter, petitioner was
carried to the first aid station
located on tne grounds of Lake j
Spivey, and an ambulance was
called to transport her to St.
Joseph’s Hospital in Atlanta.
“An orthopedic surgeon ex
amined petitioner in the emer-'
gency ward and took x-rays of |
her leg, which revealed that her
left leg aad suffered a commi
nuted supracondylar fracture of i
the femur, above the left knee,
and further revealed that she
was suffering a fracture of the
inferior aspect of the glenoid
bone of the right shoulder.
“That after such examination,
said surgeon inserted a steel pin
(a Steinmann pin) in the tibiaj
bone of her left leg below the 1
orary president of club. Others (left to right):
Mrs. Vernon Porter, secretary; Mrs. Neil Baker,

Mr. Huie in speaking of the
future needs of the country and
its expanding industrial water
requirements, talked of the an

with an improvement of an ad

bed and a traction device, con

aforesaid Steinmann in order to
pull her leg out into an extended

the area of the fracture.
“That in such traction device,
petitioner was forced to lie flat
on her back with her left leg
held in a slightly elevanted po
sition by means of a sling with
pulling pressure being constant

“That for a period of 90 days,
petitioner remained in such a

from side to side nor to change
her position. That during this
time, petitioner suffered ex

ton County owns another site of
Henry County’s Cotton Indian
River of 22 acres, with water
rights on another 99 acres. It is
felt that by 1970 should Clay
ton’s growth continue at its pres
ent rate, it will become necessary
to impound this stream.
Mr. Huie also corrected the
often heard report that Clayton
County has no water. Raw water
for Clayton County is no prob
lem. This problem has been cir
cumvented and the problem now
is pumping, storing, and trans
porting water, which Clayton
County is now effectively doing
at the rate of 2,500,000 gallons
per day—l 92 fifty-ton carloads
of it.
In closing his talk, Mr. Huie
spoke of the dedicated personnel
in the Clayton Water Authority
and recognized the unheralded
ditch diggers who will never get
the credit due them. He also em
phasized the role of the real
estate developers and industry
and expressed gratified satis
faction with the cooperation
which has been given to Clayton
County Water Authority by them.

workshop. Committees have been
designated in the Morrow Club to

“Petitioner shows that during
this time, she suffered extreme
pain in her back and when her
condition was improved to the
point that her back could be
x-rayed, it was found that she
suffered a compression fracture
of the third lumbar vertebrae.
“Petitioner was finally dis
charged from St. Joseph’s Hos
pital on Nov. 10, 1962. and was
able to return to her home.
“Petitoner snows that from the
date of her discharge from the
hospital until approximately the
last of December, 1962, it was
necessary for petitioner to re
