During the m ting, Council
President Pro Tern Christine
Franklin said, "We shouldn't act
until we hear the co t of the
homes going tobe demolished. I
don't want to be told we had
money and found it was pent on
another item. We would have
mills on for the next 30 years."
Councilman Frank Ro pro­
posed having such a tax, but add­
ing language dealing with the
con ems Lemarand and Frank­
lin voiced. He said the language
should specify that the mon y
could be used only for hou i ng
and I tting "us know what
houses are and what th costs
are." .
A citizen named Betty Givens
interrupted and said during th
council meeting, "Don't put it on

OUNCILWOMAN
GRETA Johnson charged that
during negotiations over a finan­
cial settlement with Chrysler,
th corporation offered to tear
down vacant and abandoned
houses in the city. "If this ad­
ministration had 'not been so
. greedy to grab the money," she
said, the problem would have
been solved."
Scotty Wainwright, Adminis­
trative Assistant to th Mayor,
denied this, stating that Chrys­
ler made no such offer, but stated
that it would give money to the
city and it was the city govern­
ment's function to decide what to
do with it"
Johnson said that instead of
raising taxes, people should in­
sist that the administration stop
what she claimed were unneces­
sary expenses such as the
Mayor's proposed municipal
complex.
Challenging the administra- .
tion' claim that the complex
would save the city expenses in
dealing with code violations and
it was handled the cheapest way
possible, Johnson claimed the
city council received no docu­
mentation from the Mayor's of­
fice. The council was expected' to
rely on the administration's bare
word instead, she said.

and the kids in it."
Another woman discu a

"I ev n offered to t r it down
for Y9U ple," she aid. "You
wouldn't accept that."
