The bill by Senator Hule and President Anderson to create sixty senatorial districts replacing forty four was tabled in the Georgia Senate by 20 to 14. The measure would allocate one senator per the six largest population regions, drawing criticism over favoring city counties and sidelining small counties. Additional bills on pensions and public schools taxes, and a proposal to prohibit Sunday rail freight, were noted along with a plan to abolish the railroad commission attorney and appoint a pardon attorney for the governor. The Senate agriculture committee favored keeping the Griffin experiment station, while House committee No. 2 urged moving it to south Georgia.
