Representative Dunbar Proposes Augusta Charter Amendment
Atlanta July 2 Special Rep Dunbar of Richmond introduced two bills in the house. One amends Augusta city charter to require mayor or council candidate notices before the first Monday in September and the first Wednesday after election. The other seeks to curb seed cotton packing fees in Richmond county without a certificate and a $400 county fee. The July Journal of Commerce reports cotton conditions at 74.2 percent, with mixed state changes and favorable weather generally aiding growth despite late planting and boll weevil presence.
