Stone Mountain Circuit Faces Junior Judgeship Fight
In Atlanta May 27 a heated dispute rises over creating a junior judgeship in the Stone Mountain circuit. Three candidates vie for the post, with a push to redraw the circuit and politics-free appointments proposed by Senator Frank Manson. His plan would name five nominees per circuit for governor to appoint, needing two-thirds Senate ratification, plus a possible chief justice reassignment power to ease congestion.

Collier Denies Huff Charge On Railroad Commission
Atlanta May 27 Secretary Collier rejects as absolutely false a card by L N Huff of a citizen’s committee accusing the Georgia railroad commission of dining with utilities over recent rate cases. The Brunswick Gas Water Light case showed the company sought $2.75, was denied, then raised water rates to cover losses while service improved. The commission notes it has no jurisdiction over city water service and no report has been filed to trigger further action.
