Brunswick June 5 For a city of Brunswick's population there are probably less qualified voters here than any other place in Georgia.

The December primary to succeed Commissioner McKinnon will reflect this policy, and the car line defeat left Bruns wick without street car service. Many long-time taxpayers were turned away at the polls, raising concern among residents.
