State Capitol notes on railroad extension and expositions
The legislature approved extending the Marietta and North Georgia road to Atlanta, a win for the railroad despite prior charter fights. The Piedmont Exposition opened with Gov. Gordon and others speaking, drawing crowds as county exhibits and the Wild West Show attract interest. The W A lease talks continued with a shift to written communications, Olive bill proceedings loom, and the University bill was killed prompting calls to prioritize schools and debt reduction over further funding.
