Georgia road law draft favoured by committee
The joint committee agreed to a favourable report on a new Georgia road bill drafted by Lofley of Macon and Senator Boyd. The measure would tax in lieu of road work, impose an ad valorem tax for road funding, empower county officials to enforce road duties, and allow commutation at 50 cents per day. Road overseers would manage work, with funds diverted to a road fund allocated by district needs, excluding incorporated towns.
