Governor veto blocks free rides for Atlanta police and firefighters
Governor Smith vetoed a bill allowing police and firemen in Atlanta to ride streetcars free within their cities, arguing the measure creates a special privilege. He favored free transport only if funded by municipal contracts with streetcar companies, and warned such passes should not be courtesy or lifted from public service funds. The veto shocks firefighters and officers who hoped the General Assembly would enact city funded free rides, leaving them to pay monthly fares from their salaries.
