Interest Grows in Atlanta School Bond Campaign
Labor organizations civic bodies and other groups in Atlanta rally to support a municipal bond issue for schools and public works. The Atlanta Federation of Trades and the Equal Suffrage association back the plan with a proposed range of 3.6 to 4.1 million dollars. Ward clubs and parent groups inch toward active participation as the council bond committee, led by Alderman John S. Candler, weighs the total while market feasibility is deemed strong. Financiers cite Atlanta’s ample borrowing margin of 7.9 million dollars as aiding sale prospects. Construction plans for sewers and schools promise immediate work and steady wages, with 600 men to be employed and tens of thousands flowing to laborers and material dealers. If approved, spending could extend into two to three years pending voter assent.
