CHIMNEY, FOUNDATION LEFT FOLLOWING FIRE
House Engulfed In Flames On Christmas Eve
OPTION EXPIRED WEDNESDAY
Summerville Rejects
Landfill Expansion
The City of Summerville's
plans to expand the current
landfill on Penn Bridge Road
have fallen through.
The Environmental Protec
tion Division (EPD) of the
Georgia Department of
Natural Resources said less
than half the %roposed 40-acre
site was suitable for a landfill.
In addition, restrictions were
placed on the location by the
EPD.
Grady McCalmon, city
mana%er. informed the Sum
merville Mayor and Council
about the EPD’s action at an
informal meeting Tuesday
morning and recommended
that the city not exercise its op
tion on the 40-acre tract. The
option expired at midnight
Wednesday.
McCalmon recommended
that the city seek a new site.

Officers Of Year
Deps. Ralph Southerland, left, and P. R. Hill, were nam
ed top officers for 1986 in the Chattooga County
Sheriff's Department. They were picked by their fellow
officers for the honor. Southerland was named the best
jailer and Hill was the best road patrol deputy. Each

The city is reviewing a possible
new location for the Yandfill,
McCalmon indicated.
The decision not to renew
the option will please residents
of the current landfill, who ap
peared at the December
meeting of the Mayor and
Council to oppose expansion of
the current facility. They said
they had suffered through the
nearby operation of the landfill
for more than a decade and a
half and felt a new operation
should be located elsewhere.
Menlo Council
Meet Tuesday
The current landfill is ex
pected to reach its capacity by
mid-1987 and must be closed at
that time.
Since it takes roughly six
months to obtain an EPD okay
for a new landfill location, the
city barely has enough time to
obtain a new site and receive
state ?proval.
Under a joint agreement,
the city owns the landfill site
while Chattooga County
develops and operates the
facility.
The Menlo City Council will
discuss plans to find additional
funding for its proposed
sewerage system and waste
treatment plant at 7 p.m.
Tuesday.
“According to the latest
report from our engineer,
Herbert Barnum, we are
$677,000 over budget,”” Mayor
Theresa Canada said Tuesday.
(See related story).
Also on the Tuesday even
ing agenda, the Council will set
the city tax rate, which is cur
rently four mills.
Recently reelected coun
cilmen Tommy Ballard, T. J.
Luther and Leroy ‘‘Bud”
Tucker will be sworn in.
The mayor will make ap
pointments to various city
committees for the new year.
Committees include water,
streets and maintenance,
beautification and police.
Deer Accident
A Fort. Payne, WAlai,
motorist had bad luck with a
deer Sunday.
Chattooga County Dep.
H. C. Latta said Melvin Ray
Williams of the Alabama city
said he was driving down
Lookout Mountain when a deer
ran into the front of his 1982
model car. ?
’ Williams was not injured
but the car received significant
| damage, reports indicated.
| Condition of the deer was not
listed.
Rotary Program
Member Evans Scoggins
has charge of the Summerville-
Trion Rotary Club program
next Monday.
The luncheon meeting will
be held at noon at The Tavern,
Trion.
Resident
Missing
Following
Blaze
Summerville and Chat
tooga County authorities
breathed a sigh of relief on
Christmas Eve last week when
an inch-by-inch search of ashes
at a burned house revealed no
trace of the occupant.
The :Summerville Fire
Department responded to an
alarm at 4:47 a.m. Dec. 24 to
the residence of Monroe **Son
ny" Butler, U. S. Highway 27
north of the city, reports said.
When firemen arrived, the
house was already engulfed in
flames.
Butler couldn’t be located
and his family feared he had
been in the house when it was
destroyed, according to the
Chattooga County Sheriff's
Department. Firemen twice
raked through ashes of the
house but didn't find any
human remains, authorities in
dicated. The fire trucks return
ed to the station at 8:45 a.m.
The frame dwelling was
owned by Fay and Sue Hurley,
reports said.
As of midweek, Butler still
had not been reported as hav
ing been found, the sheriff’s of
fice indicated.
Meanwhile, an outbuilding
on Hinton Street, Summerville,
was reported destroyed by
flames at 1:15 a.m. Friday,
Dec. 26, said Summerville
firemen. It was owned by Terry
McCollum, reports indicated.
Firemen returned to the sta
tion at 1:55 a.m.
1987 Tag
Sales Set
On Friday
Friday will be the first day
for buying new vehicle license
tags or decals and applying for
titles, according to Hugh Don
Hall, Chattooga County tax
commissioner.
Hall's office, along with
those of other governmental of
fices, will be closed today, Jan.
1, for the holiday.
This year, the deadline for
purchasing tags has been ex
tended from April 1 to May 1,
Hall said.
Chattooga will not be one of
19 Georgia counties with a
staggered system for renewal
of vehicle license plates, Hall
said. Such a plan would have to
be approved by voters of the
county in a referendum called
by the county commissioner.
FOUR LINES
Hall feels that the stag
gered sales schedule set up by
the state would result in four
tag lines a year, as opposed to
one tag line at the deadline.
In the 19 counties with
staggered deadlines, the
registration period for owners
whose last name begins with
the letter A through l%: the last
day of February for owners
with names beginning with E
through K, the last day of
March for owners with names
beginning L through R; and
the last day of April for owners
with names starting with S
through Z.
Hall pointed out that
alphabetical staggering seem
ed to be unfair by giving some
people only a month after the
year to buy a tag while giving
others up to four months to ob
tain a tag.
“I'd be in favor of stagger
ing the deadline if they used
something like birthdates, like
the state uses for driver's
licenses,’’ Hall said.
PENALTIES
In Chattooga, persons not
obtaining their tags by May 1
must pay penalties amounting
to 10 percent of the ad valorem
(property) tax due, 25 percent
of the tag fee; and a $1 sheriff’s
fee, according to state law.
Hall's office does not mail
out pre-printed forms to
owners of vehicles. Renewals
must be obtained at his office
on South Commerce Street,
Summerville.
The 19 counties staggering
sales of licenses plates by the
alphabetical schedule include
Banks, Barrow, Burke,
Camden, Columbia, DeKalb,
Dougherty, Douglas, Eff
ingham, Glynn, Gwinnett,
Hall, Henry, Jackson, Jenkins,
Lumpkin, Muscogee, Polk and
Spaulding.
One Hurt
In Mishap
One person was injured in a
two-vehicle accident on North
Commerce Street at First
Avenue in Summerville last
Sunday.
Summerville police Lt.
Houston London said Vickie
Evetts, 26, Summerville, was
taken to Floyd Medical Center
by private car after the mishap.
London said a car driven by
Hugh A. Goodwin, 68, Sum:
merville, was involved in a col:
lision with a vehicle driven by
Bobby Lee Evetts, 21, Sum:
merville Rte. 1.
