No Plan To
Shut Down
Local Plants
There are no current plans
to close the Lyerly or Summer
ville plants ofy Bigelow-Sanford
Inc., according to Jerry
Johnston, manager of tufting.
Contrary to rumors, neither
plant is tgrge closed, Johnston
said. Feasibility studies are
under way regarding the possi
ble consoligation of some
related processes or manufac
turing, he said. In other words,
if two similar processes are
located at Georgia Rug Mill,
Summerville, anfilat the Lyer
ly plant, they might be con
solidated in one location,
Johnston indicated.
However, there are no plans
for layoffs or consolidating the
operations of both plants at on
ly one location, Johnston
emphasized.
Depending on natural
growt}? and the economy, it's
possible the future may bring
thgdaddition of some jobs, he
said.

Chattooga In Compliance

The Georgia Department of

The Department earlier this

week.
Supt. Hayes said he had
talkedp with Dr. Adams briefly
earlier this year about the
program.
The News reported last
reduced property taxes and
had not met the funding re
quirements of QBE.
“The first I knew about it
was when I saw it in the
paper,”’ said Chattooga School
Supt. Don Hayes. He was not
notified by the state prior to
publication of a report in an
Atlanta newspaper, Hayes
said.
CALLED
Gene Norton, regional
director of the Department of
Education for the Northwest
Georgia area, called him last
Jan. 12 to ask about several
aspects of the county system,
including reasons the system'’s
property tax rate was lowered
for 1986. That was several
days after the newspaper story
was fiublished, H?es said.
The superintendent said he
wrote Norton that same day to
respond to all his inquiries. It
was é)ointed out to Norton that
the Chattooga Board of Educa
tion had lowered its property
tax millage last fall because the
county's voters approved a one
percent sale tax E)r education,

week that Chattooga has the
highest dropout rate of any of
the state’s 186 school systems.
The Murray program was
initiated by localp citizens con
cerned about that system’s
dropout rate. Funds were then
obtained from the federal Ap
palachian Regional Commis
sion to fund a program that in
volves, among other things,
local businesses and industries
telling youngsters they'll have
to complete school to obtain a
job or to retain an existing
after-school job.
The program also involves
a ‘“‘homework hotline’” for
students needing help after
school hours.
offsetting the reduction.
The state late last week
issued a news release sayin
Chattooga and the other lg
systems ‘‘have still improved
existing programs and added
new ones as the law intended.”
SALES TAX
Approval of a sales tax for
schools was listed as the reason
for reductions in property tax
rates by three systems, said
State School Supt. Werner
Rogers. ‘‘This review satisfies
me that systems are adhering
to the intent of QBE and that
education is being significant
ly improved statewide,”
Rogers said.
Hayes, meanwhile, is
mystified why Chattooga was
on the list since the state had
approved the system'’s local
budget last year and had the
data available regarding its
revenue sources, including the
sales tax.
The Walker and Floyd
systems in Northwest Georgia
also were reviewed by the state
for compliance with SBE'S fun
ding requirements.

frigid water of a north Chat
tooga County stream late Sun
day afternoon and pulled a
19-year-old mother and her

immediately.
Mrs. Tucker's 18-month-old
daughter, Samantha, was a
passenger in the car.
Scott Noel, Trion, who Ivey
said was driving the vehicle
Mrs. Tucker ha§ met on the
roadway, stopped his car,
jumped out and dived into the
water, reports said.
Nothing of the Tucker car
could be seen except for the
driver's side door, Ivey added.

vehicle and pulled Ml;s. Tucker
and her daughter to safety.
