"This is a very good budget," Joy said in his opening remarks, praising the current administra- tion and rapping the previous ad- ministration for failure to spend all the funds on streets which are allo- cated for streets. "The streets are not being paved," said Joy who praised Mrs. Parsons for "trying to do something about this problem." "Do you intend to spend money on the streets?" he asked board members. Neisler said that the city budgets money for streets each year. "It's plain and simple that the "Powell Bill money was used for something else and some things don't qualify for Powell Bill," said Joy. Joy maintained that in 1992-93 the city misused Powell Bill funds originally budgeted for street over- lays. "You will have to prove that to me before I believe it," said the mayor. McGILLS From Page 1-A cheon planned by the staff of Peggy's Restaurant where the two have been eating lunch and often- times supper every day for nearly a quarter of a century. Longtime friends, nieces and nephews, Lena's sister, Ava Ware, 91, who was maid of honor in the garden wedding Thursday, June 8, 1933, and Lena's niece, Jean Ware Legrand, who played the violin at the wedding were honored guests. For the 59 people who ate at Peggy's on Thursday, the anniver- sary luncheon was a treat. They al- so received a piece of the pink and white wedding cake that the staff baked and which centered the re- freshment table. Everyone at Peggy's signed the anniversary book. Lena Ware McGill's wedding dress, a formal satin gown that she and her mother made, was dis- played on a mannequin borrowed from Plonk's General Store. Other 9 Parsons said that only a small percentage of Powell Bill monies are eligible for wages. Joy said the present administra- tion is to be commended for work- ing to turn around the city's finan- -, cial problems but that the city still | owes itself back money to Powell Bill and he sees no mention of it in the current general fund budget to repay it. City Manager Chuck Nance said the city has five years to repay it- self. He said that the city has com- puted some street worker's salaries which could be eligible for a cer- tain percentage of state Powell Bill funds and has asked the state for its direction. He said the city plans to spend $121,000 on street overlays. Joy also questioned the cemetery perpetual fund balance of $80,000 appropriated in 1992-93 with ex- penses of $13,000 in 1993-94. "What happened to the money,?" he asked. The Mayor cautioned Joy that the public hearing was about the current budget, not previous year's budgets. But Joy said that the city can't just "wipe off and start over." "You are making an effort but 2 the effort isn't strong enough." Fe A er clothing that Mrs. McGill made for : her trousseau 62 years ago includ- ed a blue gown trimmed with ele- ° gant lace. "We just wanted to do something special for two. of our favorite friends," said Loretta Chaney Owens . The McGills have been active in Boyce Memorial ARP Church all their lives, never missing a church service. Their marriage has been happy and they have been blessed with many friends, says Mrs. McGill, including the staff at Peggy's who have adopted the couple. When the McGills have visitors for lunch or supper they invariably choose the local restaurant and Peggy Childers says they always call ahead to make a reservation. Loretta Owens ordered a plague which the. sisters say:epitomizes their’ friends and: Engevid! it with the wedding date. ix "It doesn't matter where you go in life or what you do or what you have, it's who you have beside " you.
