Legislative notes on railroads and bills in Georgia
A summer session column reviews bills in the Georgia legislature. It discusses Mr Olive’s proposed consolidated lines, possible defeat, and anticipated committee reports. It covers a bill to prohibit dressed beef imports, local laws publication, and an unpopular tax plan on railroads targeting new rivals like the Savannah Americus and Montgomery Railway. It also notes immigration committee action, and the lease debate for the Western and Atlantic railroad.
