Airport Expansion
Needed in Atlanta
ATLANTA (GPS) Gov.
Lester Maddox, addressing the
Airport Kiwams Club in At
lanta, said the future growth of
Atlanta and "much of Geor
gia” was dependent upon a sec
ond airport or expansion of the
existing one.
He said “the pressing need"
for Atlanta to be able to
handle more airport traffic was
clear to everyone. He added:
“There is no way to avoid
it, and the future growth of
metropolitan Atlanta and
much of Georgia will depend
not only upon our facing this
issue.

Governor Cites Lax Driving
ATLANTA (GPS) Gov.
Lester Maddox, addressing the
American Driver and Traffic
Safety Education Association's
annual convention in Atlanta,
quite naturally talked about
traffic safety. And he dwelled
at some length on the all
important subject.
The governor said he
intends to write to several
hundred top business and in
dustry leaders in Georgia ask
ing them to increase their
emphasis on traffic safety in
their advertising and public
relations programs.
Gov. Maddox pointed out
that 75 new highway
patrolmen have been added
this year to help save lives on
Georgia’s roads.
“And even though civil
disorders have at times taken
hundreds of our highway
patrolmen away from their
traffic law enforcement duties,
so far this year deaths on
Georgia’s highways are down
five per cent over last year,” he
said.

check was presented on behalf of the local VFW
post.
“As of the end of last
week,” he continued, “1,033
fatalities were recorded in
Georgia during 1970, com
pared with 1,090 for the same
period of 1969 a reduction so
far of 57.
“And this decrease is even
more remarkable when you
consider that in 1969, Georgia
ranked number one nation
wide in the percentage increase
of gasoline consumption, and
in the percentage increase of
motor vehicle registrations.
“If traffic fatalities in Geor
gia had increased five percent,
as motor vehicle registrations
and total miles traveled have
done this year, instead of being
down 57, there would be 114
more highway deaths on the
record books than there are
today.”
Declaring that "in spite of
the gains we have made, in
Georgia and in other states,”
Gov. Maddox said “there are
still weak links we need to
work on.” He added:
“1 am convinced that one
weak link in traffic safety is
the problem created many
times after the arrest of traffic
violators, when too many cases
are nol prossed, placed on
dead-docket, dismissed, or
either the records are lost.
“Such practices are very
harmful to effective traffic en
forcement, discourage law en
forcement officers, encourage
drunk drivers and other traffic
law violators and probably are
responsible for deaths, injuries
and property destruction on
the highways.
“Most of our courts are
doing an excellent job, and
they have my deepest apprecia
tion, but the small percentage
of those who are lax in the
prosecution of guilty traffic
violators is making the job of
traffic safety harder.”

Board of Health Budget
Approved for $307 Million
The State Board of Health
has approved a budget of some
$307 million for operation of
the State Health Department
for fiscal year 1972, which
begins on July 1.
The amount approved is an
increase of $93 million over
the current department budget.
I lie total proposed budget will
be financed by $183.8 million
in state fundsand $123.5 mil
lion in federal monies.
The budget for 1972, as
approved, will now be sent to
the State Budget Bureau and
later submitted to the Georgia
General Assembly.
Georgia's Medicaid program
takes the biggest slice of the
budget. Approved was almost
$137 million which would
include $39.5 million of state
funds and $97.5 million in
matching federal monies an
increase of just over $52 mil
lion.
The department’s mental
health division got the nod for
a budget request of slls mil
lion an increase of almost $26
million over the current
budget.
Following the board’s
policy of improving local com
munity health services and
facilities, a request for dou
bling the current state financial
support to the communities
was approved. For fiscal 1972,
almost $29.5 million was set
up for local county use.
For improving the state’s
environmental health, the
board is asking for $2.8 million
in state funds to be matched
by a half-million dollars in fed
eral funds.
Because this request must
be approved by the State
Budget Bureau and it is possi
ble that changes and cuts could
be made by that bureau, the
board also established a
“priority list” for allocating
budgeted monies.
The priorities in order are:

$362.5 million.
