State Museum Hope Fades in Georgia Legislature
STATE MUSEUM Atlanta July 26. Despite Atlanta offering a $75,000 site for a state museum, prediction runs that the legislature will not accept it this session. Building costs may total $50,000, creating a $125,000 initial property value, with federated Georgia business groups urging a state museum to showcase mineral, agricultural and industrial resources. Yet funds are lacking as the House trims educational bills and lingering Atlanta prejudice persists despite broad support from chambers of commerce. Prospects appear poor.

The piece notes ex governor Smith pressed, yet the strongest sign of weakness emerges as he goes to the stump. Banner offers little on the gubernatorial race but Georgia’s mood favors no change. Confidence restored, state affairs run with businesslike calm, voters unlikely to wake a change. Brown expected to gain more party support than two years ago.
