State finances block new depot as costs loom
The discussion centers on Georgia state finances with claims of a surplus in 1902 due to tax and pension fund increases. Amendments are debated, a substitute is killed, and McLennan’s motion for a favorable committee report passes. Little argues a new passenger station is a sound business move amid pension and school savings estimates. The senate is informed and the session adjourns for the day.
