Plaza Plan Up To Legislature For Approval
The plaza plan moves to the Georgia Legislature for approval after a House committee, with one dissenting vote, approved a report to allow the state to cooperate with the city on the plaza and joint terminal. A substitute bill, drafted after talks with Plaza Corp and city officials, was favored, aiming to condemn rival railroad rights, cap building cost under 2.2 million, and require a twenty story plaza building completed by 1916 with state turnover in 30 years and veto power for state officials on proposals.
