Mayor Clears
Up Confusion
Mayor James McKinley has
issued a letter to all city
councilmen as a result of the
confusion and misun
derstanding over the approval
of the budget for fiscal year
1975. This action was taken in
defense of an allegation made
by Councilman H.H. “Hack”
Hackworlh that Mayor
McKinley asked Councilman
Alton Hardy to make the
motion after Hackworth
presented the budget break
down to council for approval.
McKinley prefaced the
letter with an explanation -
“There seems to be some
misunderstanding as to the
motion to adopt our budget. I
have had City Clerk Mrs.
Bunting listen to the tape and
prepare for you an exact
transcript of what was said at
the June 6, 1974, Council
budget meeting."

Mayor James McKinley
said, “We invite any in
dividuals or groups to become
involved in their city govern
ment and if they have a
suggestion as to how we can
better do things or improve
services then we want to hear
from them. It is also an ex
cellent opportunity to be
rewarded for an idea.”

Brazell is a member of the
Civitans, the V.F.W. and the
American Legion. He and his
wile Olivia have live children
and reside at 208 Randall
Drive. Their children are Gail
Cochran, Lynn Raider,
Carroll Davis, and Cindy and
Leslie.
Bill George, a Warner
Robins realtor, was first
elected to the county school
board in 1970. In that year he
beat Ferryan J.K. Arnall in a
run-off election. Arnall was
then the incumbent board
member.
George is seeking his second
term on the board. Through
Tuesday no one had qualified
to oppose either George or
Brazell.
Because of this misun
derstanding Councilman
Hackworlh threatened to quit
last Friday. McKinley said
that he apologized to Hack
worlh the morning following
the meeting if he had in any
way hurt his feelings.
‘‘But the honest truth of the
matter is that Councilman
Hardy made the motion on his
own accord and without any
oral request by me,”
McKinley said. He said that he
listened to the tape three
times and that it verified what
was said and who said it.
McKinley said the tape was
available to be heard by any
citizens who want to listen. To
hear (he tape, McKinley
suggested that citizens call
City Clerk Ruth Bunting and
tell her when they want to
come to City Hall and listen to
the tape.

Perry “Retirement
Haven” For Aged?
Not many Perryans think about Perry as a
retirement city for persons from other towns and
states but it appears interest in Perry among the
i retired set is growing. The Chamber of Commerce
gets occasional requests from persons who are
sincerely interested in Perry as a retirement
home.
Many of the people seeking more information
about Perry are those who have stayed here over
the years while traveling to Florida. They like the
easy living style here, the good government, the
reasonable taxes (in the city at least) and the
weather. Florida has become so overcrowded in
certain areas and expensive that many retirees no
longer have the desire to retire to the sunshine
state,
Perhaps there is an untapped potential in Perry
for attracting retired people. In these times,
people are forced to retire earlier than they may
desire and would like to work for a few more
years. It could be that local industry and business
could greatly benefit from the technology and
experience gained by those who have retired from
one company and would seek full or part time
work with a Perry company in order to sup
plement their retirement income.
A Cleveland, Ohio couple recently wrote The
Home Journal and told of their plans to retire

here. The man is presently an engineer with a fa
large manufacturing firm in Ohio, and the couple r
has stayed in Perry for the past 25 years while
making trips annually to and from Florida, for
vacation. They wrote, “We like the hospitable
atmosphere in Perry, the climate and the living
conditions and plan to live out our retirement
years there and hope to become a part of your
community.”
Perry has already seen one group of con
diminiums constructed by Mullins Construction
Co. and presently Mullins has more apartments
under construction. These and similar new
developments could provide the needed living
quarters for retired couples or singles from other
areas who might choose Perry as their new home.
The population among America’s retired is
growing each year and the trend among many in g
the northern states is to move south to escape the
bitter-cold winters. Perry’s winters are moderate
and the long spring and summer seasons make the
climate almost ideal year round.
There are no records available on how many
retired persons now reside in Perry or how many
of those persons moved here from some other
place after retirement. But whatever the figure, it
is growing and most likely will continue to do so.
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Davidson
of Perry announce the birth of
a son, Michael Scott Davidson,
born on May 25, 1974, at the
Perry-Houston County
Hospital. Paternal grand
parents are Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
Davidson Sr. and maternal
grandparent is Mrs. Mary B.
Massey.
