Albany rallying to save what's left of historic casino

ALBANY - Albany city officials once were looking to save the historic Radium Springs Casino from demolition. Now, they&#39;re just hoping to save parts of it. <br> <br> As a federally mandated demolition deadline looms, officials are trying to save wooden fixtures inside the building, built in 1925. <br> <br> Albany city commissioners voted this week to spend about 12,000 to extract some valuable doors, columns, ceiling trim nad other wooden fixtures made of cypress wood. <br> <br> But final approval still hinges on whether Dougherty County is willing to shoulder some of the financial burden of the salvage effort. County officials plan to discuss the issue Monday. <br> <br> Mayor Tommy Coleman says so far, the county hasn&#39;t shown any interest in helping save the pieces. <br> <br> A fire destroyed most of the orginal building in 1982.
