10 --Corbin Times-Tribune, Thursday, December 22,1977 Interstate Section Dedicated Earn Davenport Deaths And Funerals MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) The nation's first border-to-border freeway, Interstate 75, is open, and President Carter says the whole nation will benefit "from this supurb route through the most beautiful regions of the country." The final 17-mile stretch of the superhighway was dedicated just northwest of Atlanta Wednesday. Dignitaries including Gov. George Busbee of Georgia, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Brock Adams, Georgia Transportation Commissioner Tom Moreland and former budget director Bert Lance cut the ribbon to open the four-lane highway in windy, 30-degree weather.

Lance was commissioner of transportation in Georgia before going to Washington with Carter to serve briefly as director of the federal Office of Management and Budget. Carter, in a telephone con- versation from Plains, which was amplified at the ceremony site, said: "It is going to mean a lot to the people trying to go to and from Atlanta in the holiday season to have 1-75 open." The highway, which stretches 1,364 miles from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, was officially opened when a truck driven from its most northern end at Sault Ste. Marie, and a car driven from its southern- most point at Tampa, drove through a banner. Busbee named Lance as the man "who broke a long- standing impasse which prevented successful com- pletion of this road." The highway, which crosses Lake Allatoona, was the subject of battles between en- vironmental groups and government agencies, delaying the completion of the route, which was ultimately changed. "A previous commissioner of the Department of Transportation by the name of Bert Lance took care of the environmental concern by setting aside a less than desirable route and placing the final decision in the hands of one of this nation's foremost en- vironmentalists, Dr.

Eugene Odum of the University, of Georgia," said Busbee in his dedication speech. Lance was given a souvenir, one of the "Temporary end, Interslate-75" signs which had marked the detour by way of U.S. 41, which had been plagued with accidents. Ernest J. Davenport, 46, Mt.

Mooneyham explained in an interview that when she and her husband took office she was informed that they were only to pay the sheriff's social security and the deputies and clerks were to pay their own. She gave the clerks and deputies their W-2 forms and told them to deduct it. Mrs. Mooneyham said it was an honest mistake and that she was misinformed on the procedure of filling out the forms. It seems that there had been some trouble at a coal mine in Artemus and it was requested of the sheriff's office to deputize men to guard the mine.

Mrs. Mooneyham said at that time there was violence at the mine and they expected it to become more serious. She said her husband deputized men to guard the mine who also did other work for the county such as serving warrants, and transporting prisoners. At the court meeting it was inferred that these men hired as deputies had done no work for the county, but were paid by the county. Edgar Smith, who is a Knox County Ranger for the Ken- tucky Division of Forestry and worked for the sheriff's office as Chief Deputy from February of 1973 to the summer of 1974, said he had worked with every person on the list doing official work for the county through the sheriff's office.

Streets (Next To Juder Stidham Pontlac) Jg happen often with new county officials who aren't familiar with reporting figures to the state. He added that his office is satisfied that incorrect reporting was all that occurred in the sheriff's office. O'Banion said the sheriff's office the social security deductions to the Internal Revenue Service in- stead of to Social Security. O'Banion said the sheriff should have withheld from the individual his social security and reported it through the county each quarter instead of to the IRS. The county is the contracting agency with the state agency for social security coverage and the state contracts with the county, and not the individual offices, said O'Banion.

O'Banion said normally in smaller counties such as Knox, the procedure used is for each office to withhold social security, turn the report over to the county each quarter and then the county matches the amount paid by the off ice. O'Banion said this is the normal procedure in smaller counties because sheriffs' of- fices do not make that much money and usually do not have a large amount of excess fees. In those larger counties, O'Banion said, when the sheriff has excess fees he pays both shares which Is in effect the same as the county paying. O'Banion said Mooneyham did not have any excess fees. O'Banion said his office had been investigating county of- throughout the state and the same thing has occurred several times.
