Temperance bills loom in Georgia legislature
In Atlanta on December 4 the House killed the Williams and Alcohol bill but advanced a new temperance measure. Other actions included a proposed ten percent fee cap on litigants’ judgments, a joint resolution for adjournment, and the elective State School Commissioner bill passing 143 to 2. The W and A Committee was named, and a pension borrowing proposal for Confederate widows moved forward. The Senate rejected Todd's anti barroom bill but then revived a new liquor liability measure. Additional bills covered landlord crop titles, railroad storage charges, and a Brady bill compromise. A Rome circuit solicitor was elected, and university trustees plus city judges appointments followed.
