No Action Taken In Camp Gordon Street Car Case
The state railroad commission took no action in the Camp Gordon street car line case which plans to discontinue service beyond Oglethorpe University and move to forty minute service to the campus. Judge Walter T. Colquitt argued Georgia Railway and Power had no jurisdiction as it reserved the right to change service when built. Representative J. E T Bowden urged no action since government plans to sell the property August 15. Colquitt noted that patronage beyond Oglethorpe did not justify 20 minute service as the car frequently ran out to Camp Gordon.
