MONDAY
Peracchio Suit Hearing
The executors of the estate
of a Cloudland man have said
in court documents that the
man’s widow shouldn’t be
allowed to write checks on the
couple’'s joint banking ac
counts until a current $500,000
damage suit involving the
estate is settled.
They have also asked that
the man’'s widow, who now
resides in Florida, be given an
examination to determine her
mental competency.
The request was filed last
Friday in Chattooga County
Superior Court by Farmers and
Merchants Bank, Summerville,
and Alex McAulay, executors
of the estate o{ Francisco
Peracchio. It was filed against
Bertha Peracchio and ‘gfriede
Kindler Hattington, Mrs.
Peracchio’s adopted daughter,
also a Florida resident.

had asked that the court clarify
an earlier consent order in the
case giving all parties in the
case temporary possession of
certain items of property in the
estate and placing certain
monies in a trust account at
the Bank. That request asked
that Judge Joseph ‘““Bo” Log
gins make it cI::-ar that the
estate has no claim on joint
checking accounts in effect
grior to Peracchio’s death last
an. 11.
The Bank and McAulay
said in their response to the
clarification request that the
judge’s order ‘“‘restrains all par
ties from disposing of joint ac
counts,” ancl) asks that he not
further clarify his order at the
executors’ request. As an alter

ask that the judge declare the
joint accounts are in escrow by
the court.

LaFayette
Bypass
Bids Set
The Georgia Department of
Transportation (I)OT) will
receive bids on April 24 for the
U. S. Highway 27 East Bypass
at LaFayette, Sen. Waymon
“Sonny'" Huggins announced
this week.
If a valid bid is received at
that time, work could begin
within 30 to 60 days thereafter,
Huggins said he was told b%:
Tom Moreland, DO
commissioner.
The five-lane bypass would
begin near Georgia Highway
136 north of LaFayette, follow
U.S. 27 south to McCarter
Road where it would follow a
new location along the east side
of LaFayette, Huggins said. It
would rejoin U. S. 27 south of
the town near Foster
Boulevard. Total length of the
project would be 3.8 miles.
The bypass is the third in a
series of prca'ects designed to
improve o 8 21 from
Chickamauga National Park
through LaFayette, the 53rd
District senator said.
Bids are expected to be let
next fall on widening U. S. 27
from the Old Summerville
Road in Floyd County nor
thward to Highway 156. A con
tract on widening the highway
from Highway 156 to Summer
ville is expected to be let in
1988, according to current
plans.
is questionable’’ and ask that
the court order her to undergo
a mental competency
examination.
A motion on both issues is
expected to be brought up in
Superior Court at 10 a.m. next
Monday.
The unusual case started
out as a divorce action between
the Peracchios.
However, Mrs. Harrington,
who was named by her step
father as a ‘‘third party defen
dant” in the case, filed a
$500,000 damage suit afainst
Peracchio’s estate, including
$250,000 in punitive damages.
After Peracchio’s death,
McAulay and the bank were
named executors of his estate
and asked successfully that
they be substituted as defen
dants in what originally
started out as a divorce action
by Mrs. Peracchio.

Democrats Pledge
Funds For Optech
By BUDDY ROBERTS
The Chattooga County
Democratic Committee decided
last Saturday to contribute to
the county's proposed gur
chase of voting machines. The
committee reached its decision
at a public meeting in the cour
troom of the Chattooga
courthouse.
County Commissioner
Harry Powell announced two
weeks :50 that the state had
approved the Ofltech voting
equ;{)ment, which county of
ficials had inspected earlier. If
Keurchased, such machinery will
used to count votes during
elections, giving each voter
more privacy with his ballot
and saving time as well.
COMPUTER
The Optech system is a por
table computer that reaJ; a
ballot as soon as it is placed in
to the machine, tall;'ing the
vote in close to two seconds.
An improperly marked ballot
would immediately be rejected
so that the voter can remark
his ballot. The system will also
store the ballots in a compart
ment so they can be compared
to the computed totals if the
need arises.
Although a proposed
number of machines to bu'{l has
been set, the county is still un-

sure as to how many will ac
tunllg'e be purchased. ‘‘The
number of machines we will
buy is still u&bo Commissioner
Powell and Probate Judge Jon
Payne,” said Katherine Camp,
chairman of the Democratic
Committee. ‘“We as a commit
tee cannot say how many to
buy.”
REPORT
Jimmy Strickland gave a
report to the committee, say
ing that the commissioner had
originally proposed buying 15
machines, but later changed
the number to 16 so as to have
one machine as a ‘‘spare.”’
Each machine would cost
$4,300, and if the county does
decide to buy the 16 gptech
machines, the total cost would
run close to $68,000, he in
dicated. A service kit would be
bought with the machines,
pushing the overall cost to
around $73,000, he added. The
Optech company would also
train selected county
Democratic Committee
members how to work the
machines. The training
seminars would take place
either in Chattooga County or
at the Optech facility in Birm
ingham, Ala., Strickland said.
The Democratic Committee
has agreed to contribute funds
toward purchase of the equip
ment. However, only a portion
of the committee’s bank ac-
count money ?parently could
be put toward the machines.
That would be interest drawn
from the R;incipal amount
already in the committee's ac
count. Discussion then began
concerning the use of the
principal.
BYLAWS
Mrs. Camp broulfht out, ac
cording to the Democratic
Committee laws, that the prin
cipal amount can only be spent
for interests of the Democratic
Committee, Therefore, only the
interest money could be used.
This led to a proposal by
Committee member Jerry
Money that the committee
write a letter to Commissioner
Powell explaining why the
committee cannot put all its
funds toward purchase of the
machines. Another motion was
also made, providing that a
check for $2,377.69 —the
amount of interest the commit
tee currently has — be
presented to Powell this week
to go toward purchase of the
voting equipment. It also men
tionefi that a fundraiser could
be held if the committee's
money should need to be
replaced.
In his report, Strickland
also mentioned that, provided
it has enough funds to do so,
the county may in the future
purchase more Optech
equipment.
