Hall of Fame Statues Proposed for Georgia Figures
Georgia plans statues of Dr. Crawford W Long and Alexander Hamilton Stephens in a national capital hall of fame. A committee recommendation would empower the governor to contract for the works, with about 350000 to fund the project and four years to complete. The medical group has raised 1500 for Dr Long, and the bill would take effect once this sum is in the treasury.
