EMC Offers
Loans For
Heat Pumps
A lowering of interest rate
to 8 percent on loans for home
heat installations has been an
nounced by North Georgia
Electric Membership Corpora
tion (NGEMC). Previously, the
rate was 10.25 percent.
Ron Hutchins, NGEMC
general manager, said the
change resulteg from TVA's
flexibility in the private bond
market.
*“We are happy to pass this
savings on to our customers,”
he added.
Hutchins explained that
the electric cooperative, with
consumer-members in portions
of seven northwest Georgia
counties, offers a heat gump
pro%ram to encourage the in
stallation of energy-efficient
heat pumps in existing and
new residential dwellings.
The program permits
homeowners to borrow up to
$7,000 to install heat pumps
and related items such as elec
tronic air cleaners, program
mable thermostats, and ex
tended warranties. The pro
gram includes an on-site in
spection to ensure the heat
pump installation meets pro
gram specifications.
Correction
It was incorrectly reported
in last week’s issue of The
Summerville News that Robert
Lee Luallen Jr. owned the 1985
Monte Carlo that was involved
in an accident on the Gore-
Subligna Road Feb. 1.
Luallen was killed in the
accident.
The Georgia State Patrol
Post 38, Rome, said that the
car was actually owned by
Randall Ervin grown, Trion
Rte. 1.
The News regrets the error.

Fourth Judge
Conference Set
The fourth Suierior Court
judge for the Lookout Moun
tain Judicial Circuit may or
may not be elected this year,
depending on the decision of a
Senate and House of Represen
tatives conference committee.
But Rep. Tim Perry said
the decision mag' be ‘‘a moot
g:)int” if the judgeship is not
nded.
The House passed a bill last
week creating the fourth
juggeshxc}). The bill was in
troduced by Rep. McCracken
“Ken’’ Poston, Ringgold.
Poston proposed that the ]udfi
be appointed by Gov. Ze
Miller in July and that the post
be open for election in 1994.
But the Senate on Monday
approved a bill introduced by
Sen. Waymond “Som:iy" Hug
gins calling for the judge to be
af)pointed Afilril 1, and run for
election in this year.
A conference committee
will settle differences between
the two bills. Hugfins and

Town Attorney
The Trion Town Council in
a called meeting Tuesday night
voted to name Chattooga
County State Court Solicitor
Albert Palmour town attorney.
The previous town at

ed the post just more than a
month ago.
The meeting was called
specifically to name an at
torney, which took place after
council members spent about
five minutes in closed session.

ost be elective from the start,
gut Miller had wanted to ap
point the post.
Perry commented that he
has ‘“no problem” with the
judge beindg afipointed in April,
{)ut added that it may be a
moot point if the post is not
fundecf in the budget for fiscal
year 1993.
The General Assembly also
voted to cut the present year’s
budget to $7.34 billion, a reduc
tion of $125 million.
‘“Georgia cannot spend
more than we take in, and we
are just having to reduce the
budget to reflect that,” said
Perry. “However, preliminarK
January - figures do 100
somewhat better, so I'm just
hoping and praying that we are
coming out of this downturn.”
Georgia’s income during
January reflected an increase
from previous months. Miller
has asked for a $8.134 billion
budget for 1993. The budget is
based on a 5.8 gerce_nt increase
in revenue and an increase in
state user fees.
J anumg’s revenue report
was ‘‘the best we've had in a
year,” Perry said. “‘Collections
are lookin(f up. If Congress
doesn’t diddle with it, maybe
we'll come out of it.”
Perry also announced this
week his endorsement of
Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton as
the Democratic presidential
nominee. Miller, U.S. Sen.
Sam Nunn, Rep. Tom Murphy,
speaker of the Georgia House;
and Congressman Elen Jones
have also endorsed Clinton.
U. S. Rep. George “Buddy”
Darden has not indicated he
will support Clinton.

Vehicle Bill
Rep. Tim Perry introduced
a “futuristic bill” this week
aimed at stimulating the pro
duction of ‘‘environmentally
favorable”’ automobiles.
The bill exempts the sales
tax, state user taxes, and tag
fees on all electric and solar
powered vehicles, and those
that average 100 miles per
gallon of fuel.
“‘T know this legislation is a
little futuristic,” Perry said.
“But we need to do whatever
we can to reduce our consump
tion of gasoline in this country.
Last winter, our nation went to
war in the Persian Gulf, in part
to protect the oil fields of
Kuwait. We placed our
youngest and brightest
fighting men and women in
fighter jets, attack helicopters,
and battle tanks because we
did not put them in fuel
efficient cars in the 1980 s.”
Perry added that the bill is
based on a law in another state,
and will be more pertinent in 10
or 20 years than it will now.
