Graft Charges Hit Macon Officer and City Barracks
Macon Ga August 6 Special after several graft allegations against Colonel John Watts the impounding officer was arrested yesterday by Patrolman Yaun in East Macon and jailed for refusing to surrender his badge. He was later released with orders to return the badge. The case skims up to the prospect of removal or trial as officials pressure compliance. Citizens along Montpelier Avenue petition against a proposed Atlanta Griffin and Macon electric rail route, fearing property value impacts and opposing the right of way. Brunswick wharf access is denied to the Macon steamer Nana beth by the Southern Railway. Boat owners and Macon chamber of commerce vow to press for wharf rights to boost river shipping, framing the dispute as railway company rights vs local business needs.
