Washington City Court Abolish Plan Faces Ballot Vote
Washington Ga August 1. A bill in the legislature to abolish the city court of Washington takes a new turn as the local bar appeared before the judiciary committee and added an amendment to submit the question to Wilkes voters at a special election for a successor to Governor Smith. The drive ties to the Toombs judicial circuit and to next year’s election of the circuit’s judge and solicitor. If abolished, Wilkes could have two solicitor generals of Toombs. Norman the current solicitor and Gilbert elected to succeed him. The issue exposes an earlier agreement to create Toombs circuit with quarterly terms by carving out the city courts of Washington Elberton and Lexington from the Northern circuit, an arrangement not binding on this legislature.
