Legislature Readies Fight Over Hand Wine Fund Transfer
In Atlanta July 17, Representative L. C. Brown moves to push a bill appointing a commissioner to sell Judson L Hand's 20 000 gallon wine bequest to the University of Georgia at outside state sites. The temperance committee rejected the measure, setting up a two thirds vote battle on a later calendar. The Andrews inquiry into food and fuel combines moves forward in the House with support expected, while Bowden College seeks state alliance as a branch of the University. Free school books for primary grades advance, and a salary debate for judges surfaces. The Torrens land title bill dominates the day, with a high likelihood of extended debate before adjournment, as the schedule notes a Griffin barbecue trip and a fish fry invitation.
