New Enactments Prominent in Georgia Legislature

Four weeks before the session, the Banner prints three legal notices of intention to introduce local bills. One is a personal bill, another seeks to change county commissioner elections, and a third aims to revolutionize municipal government. Rep Frank Rhodes sponsors a bill to elect Clarke County commissioners by popular vote and to amend the city charter to create a city commission. The notices also include relief for Mr Cartledge and a general call for popular election of Clarke County officials, with the Athens commission government proposal tied to the 1872 charter amendments.
