Turner Brandes As Blackguard Grafter And Liar
In Atlanta a political graft controversy escalates as Aldine Chambers, ex councilman and attorney for the Cotton States Electric company, rejects Turner’s accusations as false. Chambers accuses Turner of receiving $180 from the Electrical Contractors’ Association and questions a past trip with city officials, while Turner presses for investigation and cites past funding from Georgia Railway and Power and others. The dispute spans charges, countercharges, and ongoing inquiries with city officials and county contracts noted, including paving materials used by the Barber Asphalt company and Texaco products.
