Baxley be raised in salary
from $372 a month to $450 a
month.
Councilman Frank
Leonard, police chairman,
explained that Mrs. Baxley’s
duties are not the same as
the other police officers.
Leonard said she is a good
officer and her main duties
are traffic control at school
crossings and marking cars
for parking violations in the
downtown area. He pointed
out that she does not carry a
gun and does not make

has a S2O a month laundry
allowance and $lO a month
travel.
Houghton said he didn’t
think that had anything to do
with it. He pointed out that
radio operators for the City
earn $450 a month and that
Mrs. Baxley should be paid
the same amount.
Councilman James
McKinley pointed out that
the City can't raise any em
ployee under the Wage and
Price guidelines. He said the
City had already given the
employees a 5 per cent raise
in Feb. and that is all that is
allowed unless the em
ployees job classification is
changed.
Councilman Leonard said
it has always been the policy
of Council not to discuss
raises until each Feb. He
Conservation Program
Endorsed By Brinkley
Creation of a seven-state
South Atlantic Basin En
vironmental Conservation
Program has been endorsed
by Third District Rep Jack
Brinkley.
Rep. Brinkley has joined
with 10 other Congressmen
in sponsoring legislation
which would establish a
Southeast regional con
servation program for the
states of Georgia, Alabama,
Florida, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina and
Virginia.
The program would be
modeled after the highly
successful Great plains
Conservation Program
authorized by Congress in
the 1950’5.
In discussing the im
said he is not opposed to Mrs.
Baxley making more money
but that now is not the time
to do it.
Roughton carried his case
on and on pointing out that
Mrs. Baxley was performing
a security service by being
downtown and that mer
chants downtown had told
him they feel ‘ safer’’ when
she is around.He pointed out
that a couple of years ago
Mrs. Baxley had ap
prehended a shoplifter and
held her until police arrived.
He said she didn't have a gun
then and that she didn’t need
a gun to make an arrest.
After a long, and
sometimes heated,
discussion, Houghton’s
motion to raise Mrs.
Baxley’s pay died for the
lack of a second.
portance of a regional
conservation program, Kep.
Brinkley pointed out:
"There is a serious need
for an intensive program
such as this to help combat
soil erosion in Georgia and
the Southeast where we have
high annual rainfall and
erosive soils.”
The Brinkley-sponsored
bill would authorize long
range assistance for land
treatment to curb pollution
by sediment, animal waste,
fertilizer, and chemicals
which result from soil
erosion.
The measure would also
provide for Federal cost
sharing with individual land
users to install conservation
measures over a period of
time in accordance with
technically sound con
servation plans.
The need for an en
vironmental conservation
program for Georgia and the
Southeast has been cited by
both the Georgia Association
of Soil and Water Con
servation Districts and the
Georgia State Soil and Water
Conservation Committee.
