Templet on Staff Writer The controversy over use of minority contractors on ^ federally-financed construction projects is causing the contractors to begin forming an organization which would work on their behalf. The first sign of unity came when contractors picketed the groundbreaking ceremonies for the Greensboro-High Point regional airport terminal. From that step, electrical contractor Arthur Dixon has filed complaints with both the Federal Aviation Administration, which provided money for the airport, and the Economic Development Administration, which is providing money for the Stevens Center for the Performing Arts in Winston-Salem. Meetings are going on among the contractors, said Dixon. Mike Grace, an attorney for the newly-formed Arlo Construction Co., said the development of a formal association is "in the workings." He said the contractors were very upset by their treatment on the airport project. "Phone calls and t S.I'.S.

To insure success, each prime contractor is being given a list of all the minority contractors in North and South Carolina as part of the bid documents. Then, after the bids are awarded, every minority contractors being sent a list of the prime contractors. "On our Local Public Works project, we had a goal of 8 per cent and actually got 17 per cent, so we are projecting a similar overage on our goal this time, too," said the purchasing director. Farmer said he believes in the ability of minority firms to handle the work. As he spoke Tuesday, Farmer noted, "We just had a minority firm, F.E. Davis of Greensboro, to get the plumbing job on the new property management building. He had the low bid." ?s Resign-? this month after he had received confidential information about misconduct in several officers' private and professional lives. r In a prepared statement Powell said that the officers who resigned were public safety officers T.K. Crews, M.E.Lyons and H.L. Middleton and Sgt. J.C. Cowden. The officers were from District I, 3 and 4. At the time of the press conference, the identity of the fifth officer who had been suspended pending a hearing was not released, however, that officer, H.T. Dunn resigned last Friday. Powell disclosed through his statement that he was not at liberty to dwell on specifics of the cases since other officers could be involved. "So far, no criminal prosecution is anticipated; however, the allegations do indicate employee misconduct in violation of the police department's rules of conduct," the chief said. ? One of the first officers to resign was Middleton, who said he left the force because heimoked marijuana. ~r~ "I smoke marijuana and I'm not afraid to admit that I use it. I use it as a relaxant other than alcohol," Middleton said.
