Tuesday the county
commissioners amended
their beer and wine or
dinance to say that the
"buildings"- not property
lines must be at least 100
yards apart.
The matter came up for
discussion when Lamar
Keene, a Warner Robins
resident, decided to build a
beer and wine retail store
on Moody Road. But he
noticed that he would be
unable to put up his store
since it was diagonally
across the street from a
church (the Seventh Day
Adventists).
Keene's property is just
outside Warner Robins city
limits, adjacent to the
Breckenridge Trailer
Park, which is inside city
limits and owned by
Robins Mayor Ed Bryant.
And, due to WR city
regulations, Bryant could
build a beer and wine store
on his property. (In
Warner Robins, the 100
yard limitation is building
to building, not property
line to property line.)

Daly Appointed As New
Public Defender Here
The Georgia Criminal |
Justice Counsel last week
named Warner Robins
attorney James John Daly, I
28, to replace Ned Pooser
as Houston County Public
Defender. Pooser was
terminated when he
decided to run for County
Commissioner.
Daly assumed the
Defender position on June
15. He was a partner in the
firm of Morrow and Daly.
He is the county's third
Public Defender. George
Williams was Defender
from January i, 1974 until
January of last year when
Pooser took over.

before the Commission and
asked their ordinance be
remodeled After some
discussion, the board
agreed, and changed the
county's beer and wine
ordinance.
Commissioner Alton
Tucker said he never was
in favor of the "property
line" rule, and preferred a
"building to building” rule
instead. County Attorney
Walker Burke was asked
by the board how the or
dinance could be amended,
and replied that a motion
was all that was needed.
The regulations adopted
in Warner Robins comply
with the state law. Prior to
Tuesday's motion, the
county's regulation was
more restrictive than the
state law. The state says
that beer and wine sales
must be at least 100 yards
from schools, but makes no
provision tor churches.
Eventually the Com
mission passed a motion
that changed the yardage
requirement to read that
"location of the building be
100 yards from a church,
school, or schoolhouse."
In other activity, the
commissioners approved
granting of $36.00 per week
in travel funds to Juvenile
Lieutenant Larry
Snellgrove, to be reim
bursed by a state crime
commission grant. The
decision came when
Snellgrove agreed to turn
in one of the county's
autos, buy one on his own,
and utilize it in his duties.
The reason why Lt.
Snellgrove chose to buy the
car himself is that the state
grant will not cover auto
purchases, but will fund
travel. The grant will pay
300 miles a week, at 12
cents a mile.
Cotton
Prices
Increase
The average charge tor
ginning and wrapping a
bale of upland cotton in
Georgia was $24.40 during
the 197576 season.
According to a recent
study just released by the
US. Department of
Agriculture, this compares
with an average charge of
$23.81 during the 1974-75
season. The average
charge within the United
States was $32.13 per bale
in 1975.
The average charge for
receiving cotton by
Georgia warehouses was
$1.65 per bale, and the
monthly storage rate
averaged 92 cents per bale.
